This 2-arm, randomized, controlled exploratory clinical trial aims to explore fasting as a novel supportive treatment in female infertility during IVF / ICSI. The participants will be randomized in two groups: a fasting group and a waiting list. The intervention group follows a fasting intervention, whereas the patients on the waiting list continue their normal diet. All groups will be trained and accompanied by medical experts. In addition, qualitative interviews will be conducted including individual and focus group interviews with a subgroup of participants.
This exploratory study investigates fasting as a potential supportive therapy for infertility treatment in women undergoing in-vitro-fertilization (IVF) / intracystoplamsatic sperm injection (ICSI)
