I actually found this really reassuring and calming.. I have got the book it’s all about the egg and the diet book to go with, I have autoimmune issues and stage 4 endometriosis and I am 42 with diminished ovarian reserve and awaiting ivf. While I am following all of the advice re anti-inflammatory diet and supplements to take for my situation, I’m also aware of the China study and blue zones diet s and their prognosis for life- I have a had a few cheat days out of stress and felt the need to indulge- not many and I have felt guilt and worry about these days . Thai is a very balanced argument for not putting stress on yourself which can be equally damaging to trying to get pregnant. I do think a knowledge of these things is essential to making informed choices re increasing your chances but also agree that the odd cheat day (when stress is an issue !) should not make you more stressed. Good luck to all on here. We can only do the best that we can.

my clinic said there were no dietary restrictions after fet, just exercise restrictions. After + beta, then there were dietary restrictions (no caffeine even though I dropped that once ttc) plus exercise ones. Ugh. I only partially obeyed the exercise restrictions. I still lifted my dumbell, did situps, pushups, rode my bike, went up the stairs 2x2 like squats and carried my 5 gallon water jug up the stairs on my shoulder. I also still took my supplements that I never told the dr about, and still take some of them (coq10, pqq, probiotics, vit d +k2, and fish oil). I think today I'm 13 weeks. Was my first euploid embryo and first fet, I'm 37 and calculated my fet to where my baby will be born right after my bday. I'll elect the birth just a tad early to make the day.

Best advice ever !!! Being pregnant doesn't mean you are sick. Our parents, grandparents think that they've Google it what can they eat or so ?
Now, with all the information that we have , we are more stressed about what to eat and so on , rather than to enjoy being pregnant.

Hello. I’m a medical doctor and I suffer from infertility myself. I think you cannot simplify your answer like this, not comparing the ages and dietary habitudes of very different cultures. All like the environmental hormones’ perturbing agents.. we can negatively perturb our body’s health by food. I think you “should” prescribe to all your patients “healthy foods” and send them to a diet consultant because we have all lost over the years healthy knowledge concepts.

Thanks for your input - we don't disagree! A balanced, nutritious diet with sugar and fats in moderation is important for good overall health. But trendy "infertility" diets that claim to increase a woman's chances of getting pregnant are unlikely to actually do so, and can put additional unnecessary stress on already stressed-out patients.

I love this Dr. This is sooo real!! Thank you so much for been so honest!! Have you ever see those people that they don’t follow any diet, their eat whatever they want , they are over 40 y/o , they don’t do any physical activities and they get pregnant. Of course , Everything in moderation!!! Like he said, everyone knows that smoking, sedentary life style, drugs, alcohol are bad .. but please leave your life , enjoy and at the same time keep focusing in what you want.. Is all about the plan God has for us.. if is not meant to be , it won’t happens , even if you do the perfect fertility diet, takes 100 pills , do Accupunture etc.. been there done that !!

This was bad advice. Instead of steering viewers in the right direction you were vague and basically gives them the 'everything is OK' message and as someone who struggles with infertility I can tell you unequivocally this is WRONG.
