Eggs: the best recipe books | Food | The Guardian

Right off the bat, Fett misleads her readers. She talks about how she was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) in her mid-20s, right before she underwent IVF. She claims she was told she would be “unlikely to conceive with her own eggs.” Determined to prove the medical community wrong, she ate really healthy, exercised a lot, and did a bunch of research on which supplements could improve her egg quality. And yay! She got 20 eggs at egg retrieval. (This is an average number, btw.) And she and her husband got 19 embryos. They “set a fertility clinic record” with their unusually high amount of embryos. How to improve egg health - #1 is avoid BPA, Even in minuscule amounts. From plastic food storage containers, canned food and drinks, and paper receipts. I also recommend the book Conceivability: What I Learned Exploring the Frontiers of Fertility. Again, not free, but great science/history/memoir on the fertility industry. I found it at my library! I haven’t read The Trying Game yet, but it’s next on my list.) Reduce overall carbohydrate intake and increase overall protein intake, but do not do "low carb" ideally 40% carb, 30% fat, 30% protein What’s wrong here? First of all, there’s an ongoing debate in the IVF community whether or not people with DOR have lower quality eggs or just fewer eggs. It probably depends on a lot on the patient’s age and her medical conditions. Rebecca Fett does have autoimmune arthritis (that’s why she used a surrogate), but she was also only 26 when she started TTC. As far as I can tell, she and her husband never tried naturally. They always knew they'd use a surrogate. I have a hard time believing that her doctors told her she was “unlikely to conceive with her own eggs” with a full stop. Perhaps they said she’d be unlikely to conceive “if you wait until you’re 35” or “your odds of needing donor eggs are higher than the average woman your age.” Or even if her initial diagnosis of DOR was a fluke. (This can happen if you’re on birth control when you get tested.)View Book How did the idea of the egg book come about? Mary:We hatched the idea because eggs are a mystery. So many animal babies develop in the safety of an egg. What goes on in there? Why are there so many different shapes, sizes and colours. Some are soft and leathery, some are so hard they need a special tool to escape, others are jelly and laid in their hundreds. So many questions in search of answers. The more we discovered the more we wanted to know. And felt sure it would make a brilliant book. This is an educational read esp. for those who are having difficulty getting pregnant naturally like myself and are considering fertility treatment as an alternative. Another toxin is Phthalates are widely used in soft plastic, vinyl, cleaning products, nail polish, and fragrances. Causes increased levels of oxidative stress in the body. phthalate exposure has been associated with an increased risk of endometriosis. women with higher levels of certain phthalates during pregnancy were more likely to have baby boys with specific problems with their reproductive systems. and personal care products such as hairspray, lotions, fragrances, and nail polish often have very high levels of phthalates

I already didn’t consume sugar or gluten and almost never drank alcohol, so that was easy. A huge takeaway was the information on L-Arginine, which I had been taking for over a year at the recommendation of a different fertility book. I removed that and ate super clean, Mediterranean style, as she suggested. All organic, lots of salad and protein! I also lowered my caffeine significantly, which was probably the hardest part initially. We already used clean products and all glass Tupperware. I assume Rose Carrarini remembered the Delia controversy when she entitled her book “How to Boil an Egg” Fortunately, this book whips through the basics in a succinct, informative way and does cover some of the classics, before diving into an eclectic selection of dishes. There are imaginative breakfast ideas, a list of proper eggy soups and oriental savoury custards. When you’re beginning a new, scary process like trying to conceive or when you receive a difficult diagnosis, like infertility, it’s easy to fall for expensive, pseudoscientific advice. I’m the most skeptical person on the planet, but even I got scammed by my dentist before I found out that my jaw pain was caused by thyroiditis and not by a “reverse swallow.” Just… be careful out there. She also discussed supplements to take. I particularly appreciated the section on what supplements to avoid, because I have tried just about everything out there. Like, if someone once said in passing from an obscure or even totally made up source, I’ve probably tried it. Overall, this is a good read. However, I find that some information are written redundantly all throughout the book, though the author might just want to reiterate to the readers that the facts presented here are based on researches done by fertility experts from all over the world; some proven and others are still under study. Still, I feel like it is unnecessary to repeat the similar information in almost every chapter when more examples or situations should have been added instead.insulin resistance is associated with significant damage to mitochondria and disrupted egg development My husband implemented a few things out of curiosity and said he feels better, has more energy, can ride his bike longer, and is recovering faster from his workouts. For instance, the chapters on BPAs, phthalates, and supplements were incredibly enlightening. However, I will literally never give up carbs, so I appreciated that she shared the science behind it, but frames the information in a way to empower the reader to choose what works for them, and not obsess over perfection.

The third section includes what to eat (and not) and also how to improve sperm quality. Although the focus of the book is, obviously, on egg quality, it’s always nice when authors shift some of the burden onto the other half of the baby-making team. take supplements (this applies more to IVF/TTC) but in general: vitamin D, C, E, dha (omega 3), even IF you have "normal" levels. If doing egg things, CoQ-10 (ubiquinol), R-alpha lipoic acid, NAC, DHEA (maybe), folate/prenatal.

Women’s egg quality is one of the most important factors in getting pregnant, not necessarily timing ovulation. You can ovulate all you want but if you aren’t producing healthy eggs there’s little chance It’s important to discuss your supplement routine with your physician who can give further guidance on what supplements you should take and the best dosing to prevent poor egg quality. #3 Some supplements may do more harm than good In addition to no scientific basis for taking any of these supplements, these supplements may even worsen egg quality or cause life threatening allergic reactions. #4 Choose a pro-fertility diet strongly limit starchy vegetables (sweet potato, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash) and potatoes, cereals, white rice, and corn should be avoided The diet chapters are horrifying, of course. This is a popular science book. What were you expecting? Fett claims that everyone trying to get pregnant should eat low-mercury fish. No, no, don’t just rely on the omega-3s in your prenatals! You need to eat the actual fish. Sorry, vegans. No babies for you, I guess. Also, you need to stress over whether you’re eating too many potatoes. You’re not having trouble conceiving because you’re over 35 or because you can’t tell when you’re ovulating. It’s definitely the potatoes.

One CRAZY MIND BLOWING thing I read, was that men think they're off the hook if they pass a sperm test--but she points out the tests only look at how many sperm and how they are swimming. The test doesn't look at their DNA! So what's the point of having a lot of sperm if they're defective? Fortunately, men can improve their sperm quality and she has a chapter dedicated to that as well. We love the book It Starts with the Egg by Rebecca Fett.

The problem is that phthalates decrease the production of estrogen by your follicles, which has a powerful impact on follicle growth and egg development. Researchers have found that phthalates significantly interfere with the growth of ovarian follicles in eggs. The author recommends choosing products that are “phthalate free” when possible. #2 Choose the right supplements
