as age, gynecological diseases, and genetic causes... however, the influence of lifestyle on

lifestyle behaviors that affect fertility. Methods used are reviewing studies on a number of
lifestyle behaviors that affect reproductive capability. Conclusion & recommendations: In
planning for pregnancy, couples should quit smoking, try to maintain a BMI of 18.5 - 25 kg/
m2, should exercise, but not more than 5 hours/week; Women who are planning to become
pregnant, are pregnant should avoid alcoholic beverages, because the level of safe alcohol
