that if you are not following a sensible diet that it can prevent getting pregnant? I found the first time ttc I started a healthy eating plan and then a few weeks later I got pregnant.. ------------- http://pregnancyplanet.net/tickers/">

I'm not sure if eating un-healthy diet can stop you getting pregnant.
But I do know following a healthy diet and getting regular exercise can help you to get pregnant. It is more difficult for obese and underweight women to conceive. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

I don't think so, I think it's just best for the baby (and the eggs) to develop. But no doubt there are elements in the diet that probably affect conception. ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

If you have concerns about your nutritional health, talk to a naturopath, they can recommend a diet to promote fertility and conception. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

I'm kind of the opposite to that theory - it took me a year to get preg with the gremlins during which time I was running 5km 3 times a week and going to the gym 5 times a week plus eating super healthy and had lost 30+kg.
It took one sneaky swimmer to get thru when I got preg with Chiara despite me being well overweight and completely and utterly unfit and eating a crap diet. It's definitely better going in to pregnancy fit and healthy tho, I recovered from the birth etc. so much faster when I was fitter. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I think that a healthy diet is best for you and your developing baby but if an unhealthy diet prevented pregnancy then there wouldn't be so many mouths to feed in 3rd world countries.
Just to contradict that though I have a condition called coeliacs disease. Basically gluten (wheat, rye, barley and oats) is poisonus to coeliacs and consuming it leads to malnutrition because the stomach lining is damaged by the gluten and can't process food properly. It leads to all sorts of issues (lethargy, osteoperosis, aneamia, cancer etc) but also it can cause infertility issues and increased chances of miscarriage if coeliacs don't follow a lifelong gluten free diet. So in this instance a "healthy diet" (i.e. one that exclues gluten) can affect my chances of TTC, carrying to full term and having a healthy baby. -------------

I certainly had some fertility issues when my gluten intolerance started rearing its ugly head. I wouldn't rely on it as contraception LOL but I think a healthy or otherwise diet has a factor alright. ------------- |
