Hi wannabamama, Your picture is lovely  I 28 & have had PCOS since i was 12/13 (cant remember exactly) My doctor tried telling me it was all down to the weight too, albeit i was alot slimmer then. I think all doctors use this when they cant be bothered to help! I was looking at a website earlier that had this on there. It is especially important to include certain vitamins and minerals in your diet when trying to get pregnant. Try to include: Vitamin C and Antioxidants: these vitamins prevent sperm defects and boost sperm motility. They also reduce stress on your eggs and reproductive organs. Zinc: zinc deficiencies have been linked with reduced testosterone and semen levels. Calcium and Vitamin D: A daily, therapeutic dose of these nutrients have been shown to help increase male fertility. Certain foods and chemicals should be avoided if you are having troubles becoming pregnant. Cut back on: Alcohol: alcohol can reduce your fertility levels by up to 50%. It can also decrease sperm count and increase the production of abnormal sperm. Caffeine: caffeine, found in coffee, teas, cola, and chocolate, has been shown to reduce both male and female fertility levels. As little as one cup of coffee a day can cut your chances of conception in half. Xenoestrogens: xenoestrogens are estrogens found in environmental chemicals and pesticides. Produce and other foods can have high levels of xenoestrogens, which, if ingested, may disturb your balance of hormones. Imbalaced hormones are often the cause of fertility issues. I know its also about sperm counts & things but thought it might help. If i see anymore i'll pass them on "When things go wrong and they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but dont you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
Its when things go wrong when you mustn't quit" |
