I found this interesting and thought I would share.

note: I was vegetarian for 8 years and I am in no way advocating eating meat for people who choose not to consume meat. I think it is a valid life choice that has many health benefits.

Hmm interesting! Good thing DH hunts and we eat a lot of bear, duck, goose, grouse, & venison!

I'm a vegetarian but my SO is not.  @bibliothecary did your OB/GYN tell you this?

There's a couple of studies that found that a low carbohydrate, high protein (from animals) diet can improve egg quality. I'm giving it a shot. My RE recommended it. We'll see.

My acupuncturist said the same thing, she is a big fan of eggs and said "eat eggs for your eggs". I figure it can't hurt. And at this point I'll try anything, I am **this close** to rolling in the wet spot.
