SHOULD YOU LIMIT YOUR CARBS WHEN TTC?
If you're trying to conceive, you may be wondering if you should limit your carb intake. In this blog, we'll explore the connection between carbs and fertility to help you make informed decisions about your diet.
Is your body *ACTUALLY* ready to conceive?
Conceiving a baby can be a complex and personal process, and it is important to be in tune with your body to understand when it is ready to conceive. Ovulation predictor kits, basal body temperature tracking, monitoring cervical mucus, eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress levels can also improve the chances of conception.
Let's talk progesterone!
Progesterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in the female reproductive system, particularly during pregnancy. It helps to regulate the menstrual cycle and prepare the uterus for pregnancy. Low progesterone levels can lead to a variety of symptoms including irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, and mood swings. To increase progesterone levels, focus on incorporating foods that support hormone balance such as fatty fish, avocado, and nuts.
