Hiya, well done on getting the first jab done 😊 Generally try to eat as cleanly as you can. Aim for a balanced diet. I always try to get plenty of protein, some oily fish, fruit and veg( lots of green veg) Stay clear of too many white carbs, processed foods and sugar. Oh and lots and lots of water, no alcohol and limit caffeine or cut it out completely if you can. Try to get lots of sleep too 😊 Lots of luck for your cycle xx

Thanks! I’ve already cut out alcohol and caffeine, foods not been too bad but will make sure I eat my 5 a day. 😊 xx

I think everything in moderation. I have lots of friends/relatives who eat and drink quite badly and have conceived naturally! Doesn’t see right somehow xx

My acupuncturist said plenty of protein.

Hi Montgomery2. This are "my recommendations".Carbohydrates - Wholegrain bread and wholemeal pasta, oatmeal, brown rice. All fresh vegetables especially raw or steamed. Over boiling rids them of vitamins and minerals, pineapple juice, apricots, potatoes, all fruit and honey, beans, chickpeas and lentils. Protein - Organic meat if possible, poultry, fish, Milk and hard cheese, nuts and seeds. Fat - Extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil, avocado and peanut butter, mackerel, sardines, nuts (especially Brazil and walnuts), seeds, sweet corn and sweet potatoes. The things to avoid are too much sugar, processed foods, ready meals, butter, ice cream etc. A little is OK, but not all the time. Drink plenty of water and only a little tea and coffee if feeling deprived. Cut right down or right out – alcohol and smoking. Oh and don’t forget the Folic Acid and Vitamin D! Hope this helps and good luck with it all. Diane
