Will My Diet Plan Affect My Ovulation Cycle?

There are three ways that your diet will affect your reproductive system. If you are under weight, over weight and the actual contents of the diet are involved.

How much you weigh is fairly easy to see. You are hardwired with certain modes, and your reproductive system is part of it. Being pregnant when you are underweight means even less nutrition for you. When you are over weight, the probability of other health problems exist and your body will try to avoid anything that will add extra stress on already stressed organs.

But, what about your diet? Are there foods you should avoid? Are there foods you should consume more of? The answer is yes. Some will help and others will not.

Animal Protein vs. Vegetables: Eating meat, poultry and fish could, in combination with other things, cause ovulation problems. If you already have other issues, it might be wise to cut back on it. Your body still needs protein, but vegetable sources are wiser under these conditions. That doesn't mean you have to give it up, just reduce the quantity.

Foods with Iron: This is a vital nutrient and you will need adequate levels during a pregnancy, as you will be providing it to the baby as well as need it yourself. If you can't eat enough of it, taking a vitamin with it is your next best bet. In fact, women who consistently took vitamin/mineral tablets were significantly better off in the reproductive department.

Low fat Dairy vs. High Fat: This tidbit should be surprising to you, as we're all told to stay away from high fat dairy. However, women who had at least one serving of full fat dairy per week were much better off than those who only consumed low fat.

There are some important considerations if you are planning to become pregnant. One of them is your current diet. Are you under weight? Over weight? On a diet? Vegan? All of these can pose problems, both with getting pregnant and while you are carrying the child.

If possible, try to correct the weight problem before conceiving. It will be a lot easier on your body and a lot better for the baby if you were at a healthy weight. Neither of these are easy to do, but there are tools that can help you.

If you are on a diet or you are vegan/vegetarian, you should tell your doctor this, preferably before conception. You may be referred to a nutritionist to find the best diet for your pregnancy. Your doctor may also tell you to begin taking prenatal vitamins before conception. This will insure you have enough nutrients for both you and Baby.
