Sleep,sleep, sleep. I never stop banging on and on about this for my men and phew, here it is, a proper paper on it, and it must be common sense. Hormones like testosterone, and melatonin a major antioxidant and all the cell repair mechanisms that crack on in the night, they are so crucial. An early sleep during the week and a good winding down regime is essential, no blue light from screens. Bedrooms are for sleep and sex only and I go through this very firmly! #sleep #sleephygiene #hormonesandsleep #melatonin #sleephelp #ttc #tryingtoconceive #tryingtogetpregnant #fertility #fertilityawareness #ivficsi #ttccommunity #ttctribe #infertility #infertilityawareness #malefertility #maleinfertility #malefactor #malefertility

How can it still be said that diet doesn’t affect sperm?! But this study is very alarming, as it seems that by the age of 18 the damage caused by oxidative stress to the sperm producing cells is irreversible. The researchers suggest this may be a powerful motivator for young men to eat healthily if they are aware of the effect on their fertility. Sperm counts have decreased by over 50% since 1970 in the developed world and the trend is continuing. And when did McDonalds open their first restaurant in the UK? 1974. Kentucky Fried Chicken came here in 1965, Burger King 1977, Pizza Hut 1980. Coincidence? it’s well worth reading this article even if it is very depressing #malefertility #malefertilityawareness #malefactor #malefactorinfertility #maleinfertility #maleinfertilityawareness #ttc #ttccommunity #ttctribe #ttcjourney #tryingtoconceive #ivf #ivfwithicsi #icsi #spermcount #spermhealth

Today is the longest day and much as I absolutely love the long days and dread the clocks going forward, summertime really affects my sleep, the light and the lovely chirruping of the birds at 4am always sends me into a panic! When I was young it was the sound of the milkman, the whirring motor of the milk float and the jangling bottles 😱. Sleep and keeping your 24 hour body clock working properly is essential for cell repair, hormone production and sanity. So I am NEVER without my wax earplugs and eye mask, they help so much. Once I went to Sweden in June (24 hours of daylight) without my kit and nearly had a breakdown!! #sleep #circadianrhythm #importanceofsleep #fertility #fertilityawareness #ttccommunity #ttctribe #ttc #tryingtoconceive #infertility #infertilityawareness #healthysleep #sleephelp

I think this looks amazing if you follow a vegan diet and lifestyle. I had never thought of it but of course I guess you can’t stay in hotels if you feel very strongly about it. Toiletries, leather furniture, the food and the wine, there must be so many anti-vegan things in hotels! The food here looks absolutely delicious too. And in a gorgeous location too. Congratulations to @saorse1875. I managed to spill my tea on the last page but I think you can still read it! #vegan #veganlife #veganuk #veganlifestyles #veganlifestyleblogger #vegandiet #veganfood #veganfoodinspiration #veganholidays #veganhotels #healthyvegandiet
