Infertility

Calcium???

My RE is not big on supplements and wants me getting 1500 mg of calcium per day through diet alone during my cycle.  I looked back at what I normally get and it's about 10% of that.  Any suggestions for good, high calcium foods or strategies for getting that much into my diet?

Re: Calcium???

  • hmmm....I eat lots of yogurt and cheese b/c my tummy doesn't tolerate straight milk very well. I think there are certain veggies that are high in calcium - maybe you could google that. Plus maybe fortified breads, pastas, and cereals? good luck!!

    why isn't your RE big on supplements? I only ask b/c mine doesn't seem to care either way.

    I'm not actually sure why.  Maybe I should ask, LOL

  • I am not big on dairy, so this is hard for me. ?I drink OJ with calcium and occasionally have yogurt and cheese. ?But I also take a supplement because I know I am not getting enough. ?

  • I eat a lot of yogurt and dark leafy greens (spinach, kale) for added calcium. ?OJ plus calcium too. ?I also can't handle just milk. ?

  • Do you like smoothies?  How about a big yogurt smoothie with fruit for dessert and/or breakfast? I have one of those Braun stick blenders and love having smoothies.

    I think Broccoli and spinach are high in calcium too.

    I love smoothies but usually do them dairy free, LOL.  Maybe it's time to throw some yogurt in there

  • This site had a big list of fruits and veggies with decent amounts of calcium:

    Ugh, sorry - I can't make it clicky?
