Optimising Preconceptual Health in Subfertile PCOS Patients Using a Lifestyle Modification Program

Patients will be randomly assigned to a group where they undergo a 12-week lifestyle modification program prior to their fertility treatment, or a group where they are entitled to start their fertility treatment without prior lifestyle modification program.

When allocated to the control arm patients will receive the standard of care combined with the foreseen questionnaires and bio-electric impedance analysis for body composition and ergospirometry. When the patient is allocated to the interventional arm she will receive a 12-week lifestyle modification program prior to her fertility treatment. The lifestyle modification program will consist of dietary advice, advice for physical activity and emotional support. After the 12-week program the fertilty treatment will start as per routine practice. Questionnaires, ergospirometry and bio-electric impedance analysis will also be performed at the foreseen moments.
