The Harvard School of Public Health published these very results the journal, Human Reproduction. They found that women that enjoyed 2 or more low-fat dairy foods a day were 85% more likely to experience ovulation related infertility.  This was compared to women who ate less than one serving a week.

In addition, if women ate at least one serving of high-fat dairy food each day, they had a 27% lower risk of anovulatory infertility.  This group of women was compared to women who ate only one serving or less of high-fat dairy food each week. 

When researchers looked specifically at ice cream, they found that women who ate ice cream 2 or more times a week had a 38% lower risk of ovulation problems.  One of their theories was that high-fat dairy foods have higher estrogen concentrations, which may impact ovulation.  They also said that after women become pregnant, they should go back to a healthy lifestyle that includes low-fat dairy foods.   

So if you are TTC, enjoy a bowl of ice cream tonight!!!!
