I've heard that we should be eating more protein during ivf and not too many carbs.
I know chicken , broccoli , fish, eggs are protein , but what else .
What has your typical diet been ,? Really want to up my protein next 3 weeks .
And have also read that drinking lots of milk is good ( that's calcium isn't it)
Be great full for any advice and to hear what you all have been eating .
Thank you xx
So some of these are for when you're also pregnant.
For protein - Chickpeas, lentils, beef, hummus, cheese, yoghurt (Greek yoghurt is great for protein), seafood sticks. Don't forget omega-3 in fish (limit portions though), folic acid in green leafy veg, vitamin d in eggs, fortified milk and some cereals and I think whole meal bread. Cereals will also have iron. Have an orange for the vitamin c to help with iron absorbance - a whole orange is better than drinking juice as less sugar and more fibre. You'll want lots of fibre when you do become pregnant, things get a bit sluggish in that department! Porridge is good, I have it with berries and yoghurt.
