TTC After a Loss

We should be eating ice cream?!

A study by Harvard says that eating ice cream can decrease your chances of becoming infertile?  Huh...

  • It's because low fat dairy has been shown to decrease fertility and full fat dairy has been shown to increase it.

    I declare the day of an IUI "baby day" which consists of my favorite comforts. Cookies and Cream ice cream straight from the box...on the couch...in my pj's... Mmmm
  • If that were true, I'd be the most fertile woman on the planet.  Regardless... looks like ice cream for breakfast. 
  • The web series "None in the Oven" (about a couple struggling with IF) has an episode about full fat dairy...pretty amusing.

  • @rubysi, I agree Ben and Jerry's has contributed to my chunkiness.  Then again I am the one shoveling it in my mouth like a mad woman.   

    Chunky Monkey is my favorite flavor too, truly no pun intended.

  • After reading this thread, I had to go grocery shopping yesterday.  As I went down the frozen food aisle, I thought, "......well if it's good for my fertility, why not?"  and threw in a couple of pints!  Thank you dears for enabling me and my ice cream!  



  • Thank you for this groundbreaking information..... ((runs to store))
