I'd like to believe that helped. Side note: I got a flavor I knew DH wouldn't eat so I would have it all to myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151987 Tue, 08 May 2012 14:35:49 +0000 Modern Daisy 151987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The website @Mrs. Blue recommended is super helpful! I finally got some info on caffeine and alcohol and its affects on hormone levels, something I've been wondering about for months. I consume both on a daily basis and have always wondered if it would affect my chances of getting pregnant and never got a straight or clear answer. It also has a ton of other tips about what foods to start eating and what to avoid. Thanks for the recommendation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151934 Tue, 08 May 2012 14:15:52 +0000 Mrs. Blue 151934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PBandBaseball: @Modern Daisy: The focus of the book is getting your body, environment, etc. ready for pregnancy. I skimmed some chapters, but I have found others to be very informative. I also like that it talks about how something effects both men and women's fertility and possible risks to a future baby. The book is focused not just on fertility but on all that you can do before conception for fertility, healthy pregnancy, and a healthy LO. Hope you can glean some helpful info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151899 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:56:29 +0000 PBandBaseball 151899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: I will definitely look for that book. Thank you for the info. </p> <p>@Ms.SK: I've never heard about the Benadryl thing. Good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151854 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:41:11 +0000 Smurfette 151854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: if this was facebook I would totally like this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151821 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:27:02 +0000 Ms.SK 151821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't take Benadryl 2 weeks prior or during your TWW because it can get in the way of implantation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151813 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:24:22 +0000 Mrs.Someone 151813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to take that as a reason to finish off the pint of B&amp;Js I have tonight :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151799 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:16:09 +0000 Modern Daisy 151799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are great tips so far! I am totally on board with the full fat iced cream - that's all I eat anyway since I feel like low fat and fat free ice cream tastes like chemicals. </p> <p>@Mrs. Blue, I will check out that book and website too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151790 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:12:49 +0000 Mrs. Blue 151790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm reading a book called Before Your Pregnancy: A 90-day Guide; it has chapters about what to eat, what to avoid, etc. I'm not finished reading it, but I've found it interesting so far. Maybe see if your local library has or can get it. Also, the website Naturally Knocked Up has some good information. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151774 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:07:10 +0000 chopsuey 151774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>onions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151770 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:04:55 +0000 autumnlove 151770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: sign me up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151763 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:03:32 +0000 Alivoo01 151763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: That sounds amazing! haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151739 Tue, 08 May 2012 12:53:51 +0000 MaisyMay 151739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have read that consuming full-fat dairy can be a boost. Medicine related, you can also take robitussin as an expectorant and that will increase CM as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-foods#post-151736 Tue, 08 May 2012 12:51:03 +0000 PBandBaseball 151736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: That's I tip that I can definitely support.

On the flip side, is there anything that you should avoid eating or drinking that would make you less fertile?</p> <p>I'm not talking about fertility medication, just natural food products or beverages. </p>
