So this is how I believe we did it The Fertility Diet by Jorge Chavarro. Having given up hope and all doctor visits I read a snippet in a magazine about this book so, yes I ran out and bought it. All seemed simple enough and straight forward. So I went about making adjustments to what I would have said was a pretty healthy diet. The biggest changes I made where eating/drinking only whole milk (yes this can include ice cream..the full creamy kind...yummy!) This was hard considering I am lactose intolerant. The second was I increased my intake of olive oil, more dipping bread before dinner and I began to eat nuts. I used to occasionally eat nuts but began to have a snack of them every day, primarily pistachio. I also learned not to trust the 0grams trans fat label on foods. Apparently they can say 0g even if they have small amount of trans fat. I can't remember the amount but by reading the ingredients you can see they still have partially hydrogenated oils in the product. Typical! Anyway these are the biggest changes I made. It was three months and the that faithful meeting of x and y chromosomes happened. This book is a definite for any of you out there ttc!!
