Hi there -
I was just looking back at AmyFelice's post about "What worked for TTC" and you said you had a friend that followed a fertility diet. Can you elaborate or give me some ideas? I have looked online and have a friend who went to an acupuncturist and said to not eat anything cold, no raw veggies, and lots of berries. Is this the same thing? Is there more to it?
Thanks : )
Re: **Celyn: or anyone else that can answer re: fertility diet**
I will chime in as I am currently going through acupuncture and yes, nothing cold (like ice cream..boo) or raw veggies. However dark leafy greens is ok (spinach, kale).
Also, I have abstained from coffee and only drink green tea or water (lukewarm). There are some conflicting info about consumption of soy and soy products so I am limiting my intake of that as well (like tofu and edammame).
I have read The Infertility Cure that talks about foods to eat/avoid.
I hope Celyn has more info on it too!
abvernon, you're a doll. Thanks : ) I always keep you in my thoughts.
awww...thank you!
I am doing anything I possibly can to get PG.
FWIW-while I do miss coffee, it is not that bad giving it up and I really enjoy a nice warm cup of tea in the morning
