Importance of Protein


Mon, 05/04/2009 - 09:19 — Elizabeth

If you are hoping to become pregnant, then it is important to include protein in your diet. However, not all protein is created equal in the world of fertility! :)

First off, you will want to include vegetable protein instead of meat protein whenever possible. A Harvard Nurses Health report supports this dietary recommendation with a study that found that including a daily serving of vegetarian protein helped protect women against infertility. This could be as easy as adding a serving of beans, peas or nuts to one of your daily meals.

On the flip side, this same study found that when women added a serving of animal protein such as meat or poultry, they were at a higher risk for fertility problems.

Just another easy way to increase your chances for a healthy pregnancy!

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.
