I'm convinced that going GF along with some other thing that is why we didn't have to go down the IVF path... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-38248 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:27:12 +0000 Rescuemom10 38248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm...good info! Great post! Thanks ladies!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-38157 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:41:41 +0000 hellobeeboston 38157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@s2kheartmustang: good info - thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-38137 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:14:22 +0000 Mrs.VW 38137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@carrieknitscake: that is pretty much what my doctor said, that it's better to use nothing at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-38135 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:12:43 +0000 carrieknitscake 38135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.VW: Mine recommended water before using PreSeed. My doctor's main reason was that it still kills sperm. She basically said it's better to rely on your own cervical mucus for lubrication than outside sources. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-38121 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:54:28 +0000 Mrs.VW 38121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: She just said she had never heard of it and really that she felt like we shouldn't be adding anything to that area. I've still been drinking the green tea since that seems to help with CM and can't hurt. But I stopped with the preseed. Plus my husband wasn't crazy about it either. Said it sort of felt 'numb'. Luckily I didn't NEED to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-37962 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 06:51:18 +0000 bloved 37962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. VW - do you mind me asking why she recommended stopping the preseed? Did she say it does not really work?</p> <p>I've heard grapefruit juice also helps with CM, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-37863 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:49:44 +0000 s2kheartmustang 37863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out naturallyknockedup.com. There's a great list of fertility foods. I am eating organic meats, full fat diary, avocados,eggs, tomatoes, lots of garlic,2 or more servings of green veggies @ dinner, and olive oil. I do take cod liver oil, prenatal and herbal supplements since I'm a finicky eat. I'm extremely close to adding liver to my diet cause organ meats are highly nutritious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-37148 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:10:19 +0000 winniebee 37148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.VW: Like anything, ask your OB! Mucinex is just an expectorant so I didn't ask my OB about it before using it though. Oops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-37147 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:09:44 +0000 chopsuey 37147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard that onions make you fertile. I love onions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-37144 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:07:28 +0000 Mrs.VW 37144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Thanks - that's good to know! I had tried preseed and when I told my OB/GYN she said she would recommend stopping it. So it's good to know of something else out there to help :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-37137 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:03:35 +0000 winniebee 37137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.VW: I also took mucinex for the last 2 months we were ttc - 2 tabs a day plus the green tea really helped in the CM dept. for me. Being 31 and TTC my CM just wasn't all that impressive, but that stuff helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-37135 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:02:23 +0000 Mrs.VW 37135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I do drink green tea every month and, for me, it really helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-37106 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:39:56 +0000 winniebee 37106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read that green tea helps with CM (I tried it, and it seemed to help!) and pineapple core helps with implantation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foods-for-fertility#post-37094 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:27:57 +0000 Mrs.VW 37094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone heard of any foods that are good for fertility? I just picked up 'The Fertility Diet' but haven't had a chance to start it. I'm looking for more along the lines of veggies, fruits, etc. and less supplements and vitamins.<br /> Thanks! </p>
