Hello, just wondered if anyone has a special 'diet' they use to help or have heard it will help in conceiving or other things? I've read there's been study's on women who eat more protein than carbs who have had a higher conception rate (17% vs 83%). And I've read about women who eat probiotics during early pregnancy to help prevent allergies in the baby, something about introducing live bacteria in early growth prepares the immune system. Anyone else got any tidbits of information? I don't need facts, I'll try anything so long as it's not crazy  -------------  4xMC, 3xMMC  http://nellennium.blogspot.co.nz" rel="nofollow - Blog: Nellennium Ramblings |

Another one I've heard is berries are good for swimmers, and they take 70 days to be 'made', so his diet should be considered about 2.5 months before conception. ------------- 4xMC, 3xMMC http://nellennium.blogspot.co.nz" rel="nofollow - Blog: Nellennium Ramblings |

Oh I'm the queen of this haha! Before conceiving my DD everything I put into my gob was researched as good fertility food. Blueberries on my cereal Walnuts, sunflower seeds, almonds and brazil nuts (for husband too) Kiwifruit Lots of fruit and veges, especially broccoli Fish and tuna a few times a week Cut out coffee Still had the odd wine though And yes, I read that high protein diet was better for conceiving too. That's it I think

Kale: A powerful antioxidants, packed with vitamins and nutrients including vitamin A, folic acid and calcium. Enhances the immune system, repairs and protects cells. Especially helpful for those with PCOS or endometriosis. Raspberries and Blueberries: loaded with antioxidants that protect the body from cell damage and aging which also include your egg cells. Oily Fish: Rich in omega-3 and omega-6, the oil of shellfish, salmon, mackerel, and sardines has an excellent effect on sperm count. Avocado: An unsaturated fat which is a great source of vitamin E, and a powerful antioxidant. It improves the viability of sperm and aids in healthy hormone functioning. |

ha love all of the suggestions above, doing all of these, plus acai berries, flaxseed oil, spirulina/wheatgrass/barleygrass/chlorella... "green with every meal" is my philosophy - meant to be good at getting alkalinity of your blood back to normal, which is good for processing of hormones in your system, helping your ovaries/adrenal system function properly and help with conception. queue Dr Libby if you want to find out more..."rushing women syndrome" and "accidentally overweight" are books worth a read! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hey Nellenium, I have done a bit of research and yep, everything these ladies have said are super good for you! I have recently been reading Zita West's book and she suggest warming foods are better than cold foods. So if you're going to eat salad, eat something warm with it.. don't drink iced drinks etc.. Not sure if it works but I found it an interesting concept! ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">
