I’m looking forward to trying this coconut powder in my curry tomorrow, completely organic and not in a tin although it is vacuum packed. Rather than seal the bag again I’ll put it in a jar and keep it in the fridge. I’ve emailed them to ask about the packaging which they may ignore! But because it’s dry powder I think it will have fewer plastic chemicals than a liquid from a tin. #ivfsuccess #ivfjourney #infertilitysucks #fertilityawareness #ttccommunity #ttc #ivf #ivficsi #infertility #infertilityawareness #vegan #veganfood #organic #organicfood #organiccoconutpowder #organiccoconut #organicurry #healthydiet

This is tripe, the muscle wall of a cows intestine. We ate it (reluctantly!) when I was a child growing up in the country in Ireland, and here it still is in the market in Cork, along with Drisheen made of blood and flour😳. And I remember we ate sweetbreads made of pancreas too. My sisters and I still laugh about the time our stepmother presented us with the most enormous unembellished grey pimply tongue one night for dinner, we refused to eat it but we were teenagers and it wasn’t worth the trouble forcing us 😂! But tripe is fascinating actually, you can see the tiny projections, the villi, which is where nutrients are absorbed. The surface area of a human intestine would cover a tennis court if all the villi were laid out flat, it is such a clever organ! And incredibly nutritious, high in protein and rich in minerals like selenium and zinc. Every bit of that cow was used and I guess still is in many parts of the world. I don’t really eat meat much at all nowadays and think it is probably better to eat a plant based diet both for health and the environment but this amazingly vibrant market which supports whole communities did make me realise that most issues are never quite black and white. #ivfsuccess #ivfjourney #infertilitysucks #fertilityawareness #ttccommunity #fertility #infertility #ttc #tryingtoconceive #tryingtogetpregnant

What a fabulous day this promises to be and I am there in spirit! I should be speaking but I am away, such bad timing grrrr! But if you can go you will have the best time; a beautiful place @danesfieldhouse with my favourite people like @thisisalicerose who just lights up a room, and talks from fertility and IVF experts. With a spa, yoga and a BBQ on one of the loveliest days of the year. Thank you Sara and Tracey, amazing @ivfbabble hosting what is going to be a wonderful day, I wish I could be there. #ttc #ttcjourney #ttccommunity #ttcawareness #fertility #fertilityjourney #fertilityawareness #infertilityawarness #infertilitysucks #infertility #ivf #ivfjourney #ivfsuccess

Seed crackers. This is my latest recipe for the fabulous @ivfbabble - we’re doing weekly Spring Reset and fertility-friendly recipes. I’ve done watercress and green pea soup, green juice and salsa verde. Lots of green! I’m also planning my recipes for @fertilibox which I am very excited about, a monthly gorgeous treat for anyone trying to conceive. I love these amazing women whose brilliant ideas for helping people who are trying to have a baby come from their own fertility experiences #ttc #ttcjourney #ttcawareness #fertility #i fertility #fertilitydiet #fertilityawareness #infertilityawareness #fertilityfoods #seedcrackers #healthycrackers #mediterraneandiet #healthydiet #cookingwithseeds

Women are always being told that their old eggs risks their fertility but a new study has shown that men also have a biological clock; just like muscles age, sperm may also lose their ‘fitness’ leading to higher DNA deterioration and infertility as well as some health outcomes for the child. This study (www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190513081409.htm) suggests that men should consider sperm freezing before aged 35. I’m not sure about that but both women and men need to be educated about leaving it too late, I read an article in the paper about how men tend to be the ones who like to wait as long as possible before trying for a baby, endlessly citing all those ancient pop stars with aged 20 something wives as prime examples of male fecundity, hmmmm is all I can say to that! #ttc #tryingtoconceive #fertilitydiet #ttcjourney #ttcawareness #fertilityawareness #infertility #infertilityawareness #malefactor #malefactorinfertility #spermhealth

I am currently that sad person with their flask and packed lunch who sits opposite you on the train and unwraps their egg sandwich @beeswrap (😱are eggs a no no in a public place?). But it is so yummy with a big handful of watercress (what else) with my good coffee @grumpy_mule and my headphones on listening to Louis Theroux on Desert Island Discs (big crush on him 😍) looking at sunny countryside from the train window. Sometimes the smallest things can just make you happy! #ttc #ttcjourney #ttcawareness #ttc #tryingtoconceive #eggdishes #eggs #happymoments #fertilitydiet #packedlunch

Friday lunch heaven - fish finger wrap with spinach, extra avocado and tartare sauce @benugouk. Fish and vegetables, Mediterranean Diet! The rest of the week I am up at the crack of dawn preparing my lunch but on Friday, NO, it’s lunch out, I know how to live🤗! #fishfingerwrap #fishfingersandwich #fishlunch #fishfriday #fertilitydiet #infertilitydiet #healthylunch #healthylunchideas #lunchtreat #mediterraneandiet

Quick lunch on Wednesday, this is one of my favourite things, everything in the same pot, onions, a leek, lots of celery and carrots, ginger, chilli, turmeric all sweated in half butter half olive oil, (that butter makes all the difference! But of course not if you are vegan) add chicken or vegetable stock, an extra spoon of my favourite Marigold stock powder, yellow split peas, simmer til peas are tender then add big bag of cabbage greens, poach for three minutes and serve. Delicious and filled with antioxidants, plant protein, yellow and dark green veg, spices and probably cost about £1 to make 2 big bowls! 🤗#vegandiets #plantdiet #vegandiet #plantprotein #plantbased #plantbasedproteins #ttc #ttcjourney #ttccommunity #fertility #fertilitydiet #infertility #infertilityawareness #splitpeasoup #vegetablesoup #mediterraneandiet #vegetarianrecipes #quicklunch #quicklunchideas
