Infertility Miracles and Real Food!

Infertility Miracles

Real Food and Infertility Miracles

How much do you think infertility and nutrition are related to each other?

A reader sent me a beautiful email that I can finally share with you. It is one of my very favorite emails since I began blogging and it shows how much God can do through REAL FOOD when we give our bodies what they need to be well.

Hi Kelly,

I thought I would write you a note to share my good news.  I'm pregnant with number four.  This is a complete shock and I wanted to thank you for helping us.

I will try to keep my history as brief as possible.

I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.  I was not able to conceive.  In 2004 we went to a fertility clinic where they put me on the highest dosage of Clomid allowed to finally get me to ovulate and we had artificial insemination because my husband’s sperm numbers were not the best.  Through much prayer and this method, we eventually got pregnant with my oldest son.  We used this same method again to conceive my second son.

When we went back to the fertility clinic to try for number three, we were told that my husband's sperm numbers at this point were so bad and my ovulation had become so unlikely that we would probably not be able to conceive without using IVF.  My husband and I did not want to go down that road and asked if we could please just try using the high dosage of Clomid and artificial insemination again.  We thought it a tremendous miracle when we conceived our daughter.

After having our little girl we decided we were done having children.  We didn't want to spend any more money on fertility treatments especially when things looked so bleak.  Plus we had our three healthy children who we love more than anything.  We are blessed.

Sometime after having our little girl, I found your blog and the Weston Price site.  We completely changed the way we ate.  We now eat organic pastured meat, raw milk, and started to eat a lot more pastured organic eggs.  I started us on the CLO.  We completely cut back on any processed foods from a box or bag or with long unpronounceable ingredient labels.

I was completely SHOCKED a few weeks ago when I took a pregnancy test and it was positive.  We were NOT trying to conceive and I'm still nursing our little girl 4-6 times a day.  In my head, the chances of us having another baby were 0%, but here we are.  We had an early sonogram and there is indeed a little baby in there.

I am overwhelmed at the thought of having four children four and under, but I feel tremendously blessed at the same time.  I realize God must have other plans for us.  And I can't help but wonder if food had anything to do with this miraculous conception.

Thank you for your blog.  It just may have played into our having another baby on the way!

Sincerely, Lori”

Keep reading, it got even better when I asked her if I could share her story with all of you… (MORE infertility miracles!)real-food-for-mother-and-baby

I'm not ready to share yet since we haven't told all our family and friends, but I will when the time is right.  Last night I called my sister (she is 38).  I was absolutely dreading telling her about my pregnancy because she has been trying to get pregnant for years.  A few months ago I gave her Nina's new book and she did change to more traditional eating also.  Well, after I told her my news, she didn't say anything for a moment, and then said, “me too.”  Our due dates are a week apart.  So I guess my miraculous God and food story gets even more interesting!”

I couldn’t wait to tell you all about this, but waited until I received this email from Lori with the go-ahead to share her story:

I wanted to update you that both my sister and I had our 20 week ultrasounds and everything looks great!  We were excited to find out that another baby girl is on the way to us.”

WOW!!!  I’d love to hear stories of your infertility miracles too!

    Me too! I cured my PCOS with real, organic food combined with a grain-free, sugar-free diet. (And by sugar-free, I don’t mean all those chemical crap substitutes. I mean I didn’t eat any sugar, natural or otherwise.)

    CB,
    Heck if I know for sure, but my gut tells me that going over the smoke point just isn’t good. For *refined* peanut oil, that’s 450*. For *unrefined* I believe it’s 325*. I don’t know how they could get it up PAST the point where it smokes without it smoking in the first place… But as I always say, there’s a lot I don’t know, so don’t just go by what you hear from me!

    This is off topic, but… I just found your blog while looking for asian recipes (your deep frying post.)

    This is all really interesting stuff. I read the posts about smoking points, vegetable oils, breading/frying, etc. What I’m wondering is, whether the traditional method of wok cooking conflicts with your healthy cooking tips?

    For frying, most Japanese, thai and Chinese recipes call for peanut oil at 350f, 425f max for some Tempura.

    When stir frying however, you’re cooking with peanut oil at tremendously hot temps that cause the oil in the wok to combust into small blue/orange flame. I’ve heard that one point of the high temps, is to drive the oil tot he pint where it is too hot to smoke (similar to how you would fan a wood fire to keep it oxygenated and burning hot, so that it wont smoke much.)
    On an electric stove, this isn’t an issue, but in a restaurant or cooking on high gas on an outdoor jet burner, you’re obviously doing some chemistry with that peanut oil.

    So peanut oil.. super high temps. What’s going on and how healthy is it?
    What’s your take?

    I have only noticed infertility issues in me for the past year, but when I think about it may have been going on a lot longer. I have two boys ages 13 and 9. About 5 years ago I had a copper IUD removed due to complications. I have not been on any birth control since. My boyfriend and I got back together last year and decided to try to conceive. No luck so far. He doesn’t eat very well and I’m hypoglycemic with a hormone imbalance. Nothing so severe that the docs are concerned, but with my food related mood swings, it’s an uncomfortable situation for everyone. I stopped eating soy about 3 years ago because of it’s contribution to those mood swings. I believe I am estrogen sensitive. I eat well, avoid most packaged foods and deversify my fat intake (our cells cannot renew themselves properly without fat, as they are mostly made up of lipids, low fat diets are not healthy). We’re trying to conceive with every cycle but it’s not happening yet. I just wonder if drinking raw milk and eating even better will help. My boyfriend refuses to eat my food, so if he’s part of the issue… well, that is something I don’t even want to think about.
    My iPhone isn’t allowing scrolling of this text box :/. Hmm, well i’d like to add that this story gives me hope and I teared up as well. 4 kids and under 4 no less, eesh. I don’t get it, but I guess it works for them. I didn’t plan on 10 years apart, but 4 years is perfect for me.

    I love hearing stories like this! The more the real food movement becomes popular, it seems the more women take back their lives. I love that so many women are finally learning how to nurture their bodies properly. I find it so empowering to know how to eat, what to eat and what course of action to take to become healthy and fertile.

    Reading stories of women who are struggling through the current health care system with infertility all I hear is fear and frustration. Once a woman figures out how food and toxins play a role, the tone tends to change to a calm understanding and real hope. I highly recommend the book “The Infertility Cure” as a guide.

    Praise the Lord! That is wonderful, blessed news.

    I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease a little over three years ago and went on a restrictive diet for my health. I can’t have grains, gluten, sugar, starches, and most dairy. It’s hard, but I’ve reaped the benefits. I can live my life again, Praise God! My doctors are continually amazed at how healthy I am.

    What a beautiful story! We’ve struggled with infertility for over ten years, but God has blessed us with two wonderful boys by way of adoption. Changing our diet to (mostly) real foods a few years ago hasn’t changed our own fertility issues, but I’m still thrilled to hear Lori’s experience. What a blessing!!!

    Oh Kelly…. this is so hard for me to read. Don’t get me wrong, I’m tearfully happy and delighted for these women and want the truth to get out. But 15+ years ago when I was in the midst of infertiflity treatments, with all the “best doctors”, I didn’t know any of this. I probably ate the absolutely lowest fat diet ever and as I was working full time I was utilizing boxed convenience foods for many of our meals. It just makes me sad to think that I likely contributed to my “undiagnosed infertlity” issues. It’s too late for me now, but I’m happy to know the truth and will certainly speak up as God gives me the opportunities.

    Awesome. 🙂 I overcame my PCOS the same way: REAL food! It’s amazing what a little nourishment can do. God designed our food so specifically and when we eat it without changing (processing) it great things happen!
