Could Alcohol Be Preventing you From Conceiving?

Could Alcohol Be Preventing you From Conceiving?

Did you know that even one alcoholic beverage a week can impact both male and female reproductive systems? How is it able to affect fertility? Alcohol can increase estrogen levels, which may suppress ovulation - causing you to possibly not ovulate at all. Remember, we need to ovulate in order to make a baby!

A rise in estrogen can also suppress the maturation of follicles. If an egg is already fertilized by sperm, alcohol consumption can cause unsuccessful implantation in the uterine lining, leading to a failed pregnancy. Lastly, there may be an increased risk of miscarriage and fetal death with maternal alcohol consumption.

How Vitamin D Plays a Role in Your Fertility

Getting pregnant should be easy. Bing-Bang-Boom, right? Not the case! Turns out that some of us (including me) can have nutritional deficiencies, like vitamin D, that can make it challenging to become pregnant and stay pregnant. When I first started my fertility journey, my vitamin D was 20 ng/mL. I started to take 5000 IU of vitamin D daily and slowly it crept up to 50 ng/mL.

Thankfully, I have you covered. Keep reading to get a full dose of information.

Vitamin D deficiency is very common and it can be easy to fix. Let me throw some knowledge at my fellow sisters and brothers (sperm needs optimal vitamin D too) to boost those vitamin D levels.

Avocado Kale Caesar Salad + Crispy Potato Fries

These days I have been OBSESSED with all things Caesar. When I was in Ireland a few weeks ago, I had a Caesar salad for at least one meal per day. As you know, making things from scratch is my way of living. I like to know what is going into my body. Don’t get me wrong, I can definitely take longer and sometimes costs more money to make these recipes. That being said, this recipe is a clone to the original Caesar dressing that I crave (not the calories and fat). Now that we have made our salad even more healthy, I say, let’s have some crispy french fries as a great combination. The fries are tossed in olive oil and homemade breadcrumbs. The recipe for the bread crumbs are on featured on this blog http://bit.ly/2O6hXz2. Comment below and let me know what you think…
