My view about nutrition during TTC

JenniferL923 · February 2009

I have an opinion and I'm going to state it.

Crackwhores, idiots, and teenagers manage to get knocked up "accidentally" all the time. I highly doubt they are abiding by a TTC-friendly eating plan.

I honestly don't think that what I do or do not eat with help or hinder me getting pregnant.

I agree 100%. I bet at 75% or more people get KU without doing anything different, why should I.

Good point.

I'd argue, for the sake of arguing, that they are younger so the side effects from a bad diet may have accumulated.

Maybe, I don't put a terrible amount of thought into it. I eat cheesesteaks from the mall.

I don't believe in fertility diets and the like, but I do think it is smart to get your body healthy for pregnancy. Granted I'm starting 16 cycles too late.

I would agree with that, I mean obviously if you are nutritionally deficient, such as anorexic or bulemic that you don't even have cycles anymore, you're not going to get KU.

However, I think that anyone who eats in relative moderation or even very healthy, wouldn't have an extra easier time getting KU than the next person.

I can see that side of things. On the other hand, if there is a health issue and you are having T-TTC then you might change your tune. Compared to all the drugs and tests, changing your diet is relatively minor in comparison and much less expensive. I know if someone told me to stand on my head and cluck like a chicken because it might give me a better chance of getting PG I would do it.
