That is quite interesting.

 

I fell in love with the article as soon as I saw the opening line:

 

For a woman trying to conceive, the best prescription could be eating ice cream every day.

 

Yum.

Oh crap, my IUD better be 100% effective because I DO eat ice cream everyday and definitely am not trying at this point to conceive.

 

But that information will come in handy down the line!

Of course, I'm just one anecdotal example.... But:

 

For 11 years I've had been effectively preventing pregnancy. I always followed a lowfat diet and used fat free or 1% dairy products. However when my husband and I decided to try for a baby, I got pregnant the first cycle that we tried (so much for a long period of natural, carefree sex lol).

 

But even though I ate a clean, lowfat diet, with skim and 1% dairy products, I did eat "good fats" like almonds and natural peanut butter- and took an omega 3 supplement....so I wonder if dairy fat is necessarily required, or if it's just "good" fats in general that actually aid fertility.
