Diet high in protein affect conception chances??

[Lisa]

I was on Cohens (high protein/low carb diet) and I fell pregnant twice. When going on it I was told a side effect of the diet is falling pregnant - a great side effect for some!

Before falling pregnant with my DD2 my cycle was all over the place, I even had a 72 day cycle. I started the diet and within the first month I got AF and it came every 28 days after that. Within 3 months I was pregnant.

I definitely believe high protein diets help with conception. As you can see, it is true in my case.

Good luck hun. I wish you a speedy TTC journey

Lisa,
Well thats interesting!! Thank you for posting cause it means that there might be hope for me yet.
Do you remember how much protein you were consuming daily? Was it from real protein? I am consuming a very good quality protein powder, maybe once or twice a day depending on my level of training..

I guess it just goes to show that there is not too much research in to this as you can read that it is not good for conception and then you can read that it help conception!!
