Today’s Observer magazine is a must for anyone suffering from male factor infertility. At last the discussion is starting. If you are experiencing this then push for a referral to a urologist, the male equivalent of a gynaecologist before being shoved down the IVF route. ICSI is not always the answer, the majority of cycles fail actually. Testicular examination, blood hormone tests, urine tests for underlying bacterial infection and sophisticated sperm DNA fragmentation tests will all help to identify why an otherwise healthy young man may be sub-fertile and there are then treatments. Some ‘experts’ are still in denial despite mounting evidence, always quoting age (mostly of the woman, yes you again with your knackered old eggs selfishly putting your career first). And while this attitude exists it is more difficult to address the increasing trend of male infertility. Very poignant stories from men interviewed too. You are not alone and we all have to stand up for you.#maleinfertility #maleinfertilityfactor #malefactorinfertility #sperm #spermhealth #spermcount #ivficsi #ivfdiet #icsi #icsisters #infertilitysupport #infertility #infertilitydiet #fertilitydiet

Sunday lunch at the Dungeness Fish Hut, you queue up and order and sit outside on benches and it was one of the most delicious I have ever tasted. Pan fried fish caught this morning, with shredded red cabbage, spinach, tomato, avocado, coriander, creamy homemade tartar sauce all on a warm freshly made flatbread. £6, with sea air and a view of the power station which was slightly surreal! #sundaylunch #fishlunch #tryingtoconceive #ttc #ivfdiet #healthydiet #fertilityfoods #ivficsi #fertility #fertilityfood #infertilitydiet

Another early bus breakfast and I question my sanity! What sort of person chooses to eat blueberries and strawberries and liquid on a moving vehicle with WHITE trousers on? But I like my breakfast and I’m not good at skipping it although twice a week I do skip it so I have 16 hours ‘fasting’ (I say this word with no idea of what real fasting really is) which just rests the gut and allows the microbiome to get on with its work making all those anti-inflammatory substances that are so good for eggs and sperm too. And miraculously the trousers survived! #fertilityfoods #ivfdiet #ivficsi #tryingtoconceive #ttc #ttcdiet #gutbacteria #ttcmicrobiome #fasting #sperm #spermdiet #fertilitydiet #breakfast #fasting

Quick Thursday night supper. I had another craving - this time for coriander - (apologies to the coriander haters ). White beans, red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, chopped coriander, lime juice, olive oil and honey dressing. You could add a little bit of chilli too. I had it with pan fried white fish. Plant based protein a couple of times a week is a very good thing, in fact a totally plant based diet 2 days a week is something I recommend. Very simple but delicious. #ttc #ttcdiet #tryingtoconceive #fertilitydiet #infertility#infertilitydiet #malefertility fertilityfoods #malefertility #maleinfertility infertility #plantdiet #plantbaseddiet #plantprotein #beanrecipes #coriander #salads #fertilityfoods

It’s official, according to a Harvard study released today. Men who wear boxer shorts have higher sperm counts than men who don’t. Scrotal temperature really matters, and folding them up neatly and bundling them snugly between the body and tight man made fibres is not good. #malefertility #maleinfertility #sperm #spermcount #boxershorts #ttc#tryingtoconceive #icsi #ttcsupport #ttcdiet #infertilityhelp #scrotaltemperature#

This post is about tonight’s (Wednesday 8/8 8pm) Live Well for Longer on Ch 4. OK sometimes I do find these programmes quite irritating and not what I want to watch after talking nutrition all day. Give me a dark subtitled foreign thriller any time. But this was really, really good and very worth catching up. It was about the power of the gut bacteria, the microbiome. I am always banging on about this to my poor clients - “snacking” I shout at them “is terrible for the good bacteria, there they are getting on with their work producing anti-inflammatory substances, and in comes a biscuit 😱 NO! “They need 5-6 hours of peace between meals. The bad bacteria love sugar and fatty meats and processed foods. The good bacteria like vegetables, the more the better especially the onion family, onions, leeks, garlic & chives, fibrous stalks, berries and chicory, artichokes and bananas, and then they like their own food and fertilisers - fibre and fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi and kefir. You are shown how to make your own sauerkraut, so good and so easy. It’s £4-£5 in a health food shop, 50p or less to make yourself. They took stool samples of some fantastic brave participants who ate terrible diets, put them on a gut bacteria diet for only 2 weeks then re- tested. Huge improvement, they were all so thrilled and what incredible motivation to stay on a healthy diet. Well worth watching. #gutbacteria #gutmicrobiome #microbiome #microbiota #gutmicrobiota #probiotics #prebiotics #prebioticfoods #kimchi #kefir #sauerkraut #fertilitydiet #antiinflammatory #antiinflammation #goodbacteria #fertilitydiet #infertilitydiet #ttc #tryingtoconceive #ivfdiet #ivficsi
