Laketon79 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I have done two whole30's this year (april and september) and now my cycles are acting really weird. i'm starting to freak out that since i did those whole30's and haven't been eating very good since, that it is messing with my cycles and causing me to potentially be infertile. help!

Robin Strathdee Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hi Sunshine! A little disruption in your cycle is normal with any major diet overhaul (it's a natural response by your body). It certainly won't make you infertile, but it may take a few months for your hormone levels to settle into their new rhythm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I can tell you that eating in the primal/paleo/whole 30 way is actually good for fertility--if you ate really well and then went back to your prior eating habits, it will affect you just in health issues. I did primal and got pregnant 3 months after starting eating primally after being told I wouldn't ever get pregnant and 4 failed iui's (3 years before going primal) and my husband having a less than stellar sperm count. I was 42 at the time and got pregnant with no issues. This past February, following a more primal/whole 30 eating pattern, I got pregnant again, at 45. I ended up loosing that pregnancy, but I am quite confidant that I will get pregnant again, and that this way of eating is the best thing for fertility. I think if I was you, I would eat whole 30, paleo or primal and stick with it and not go back to the SAD diet--i think that would be the ticket to improving your fertility. I am not a fertility specialist, nor do I play one on tv, just the voice of experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
