Question

I am 30 and ttc. Does anyone have any suggestions about diet and supplements?

Answer

Thank you for suggestions. I also read up on pineapples and pomegranate juice. Best of luck to you all!

Answer

Prenatals with dha are good (an essential fatty acid).  I've bee reading up on this too. Between cd1 and ovulation it's good to eat things with vitamin A like carrots and other raw veggies, raw garlic, grapefruit, nuts, and spinach or kale. These all help the quality of cm. there are also foods you should avoid at this time. After ovulation, the one thing I've read to help implantation is pineapple! But there doesn't seem to be any evidence it works. As for supplements, I take E to help hormone regulation, D because I'm deficient because I live on New England, b and c, extra folic acid, and fish oil. Between cd1 and ovulation I also take evening primrose oil just starting this cycle. That one shouldn't be taken after ovulation because it can cause contractions if you have implantation. But don't taken word on these! There is a ton of info online.

Answer

I read this article and they suggest calcium, manganese and zinc as most important.

But I also think eating whole foods, grass fed meat and avoiding processed foods can't hurt!
