Often my mom will call me with things that I can do to get pregnant. Usually I've already heard of them and/or have tried them. I'm not sure if she sits around and talks about me not being able to get pregnant or what, but it's usually something someone has told her helped them get pregnant.
Now, I've already read all about how infertility is at an all time high, and the experts have found that this is due to our nutrition. We don't eat like they did in the 50s or 60s. It's a lot of processed food and fast food and we're not getting the vitamins we need in the foods we eat. Taking a supplement isn't always the same as eating it in good foods. So when I couldn't get pregnant about a year ago, Derek and I cut out a lot of things from our diet. We tried adding in more things, but didn't really know what to add. So, my mom calls me the other night and says that their new church secretary's daughter tried for two years to get pregnant and tried everything. So she did some research and found that one serving of full fat diary products like ice cream and whole milk help with ovulation. So she started eating a bowl of ice cream a day and got pregnant. Two years after that, started eating a bowl of ice cream a day and got pregnant again.
I did some research and found out this is true, along with adding other things to your diet, including an iron supplement and a calcium supplement. I already had Derek on an iron supplement because that's supposed to help his guys swim stronger. So I promptly went to the store and got some whole milk and supplements. At this point, It can't hurt to try. Drinking a glass of milk and taking more vitamins a day isn't going to do anything but improve my overall health. And considering the problem is that I dot ovulate correctly, and these things are supposed to help with ovulation, it might just actually work this month. I'm not getting my hopes up, but I'm still praying hard.
