I saw it on NBC this morning. Has to be full fat ice cream though, low fat doesn't work.

Progesterone, which is necessary to sustain a pregnancy, is a fat based hormone. This need for full-fat ice cream speaks to twiggy thin women who don't have much body fat. It's deceiving.

Bring on the Ben and Jerry's! I'm willing to try eveything else, and this I will actually enjoy!

I wish this was the cure! I eat ice-cream far to often then I should (my one weakness!)and still no baby!

I am like pug girl. Didn't work for me, but maybe I didn't eat enough. I dunno.

My husband told me about this last night. I am willing to give it a try but am skeptical about these things.

Even if this doesn't work - it might make us all feel a little better (if even for a moment) on those extra tough stress days. :)
Sign me up!

I like ice cream better than all the friekin pineapples I ate last round.

Heard of this and the Fertility Diet in a US Weekly or Newsweek article months back. I don't believe in it. If full fat ice cream and the like helped those with IF problems, I'd have a brood. In fact, I just finished a whopping bowl of chocolate Haagen Dazs.

Unfortunately, I think it sets us up for a let down and helps to make us crazy about one more thing with regard to infertility. What will they come up with next, that wearing purple sweat pants, rubbing your tummy and patting your head while standing on one leg will increase your chances too?

LOL dspilatore!! Loved your response!

I tried to go the the page but it seems to have expired. I googled the story though. I don't think I buy it since doctors usually say a healthier weight it better for getting pregnant.

Although I am all for anything that will work, I think various foods in moderation is best for us. (but I did go on a pomegranate kick when I heard that would help. no baby that cycle just a lot of red stained clothes!) :-)

I agree with dspilatore, if ice cream cured IF I'd have lots of babies by now...it's my biggest food weakness that I give in to way too often...esp after BFNs!

OH yeah DH sent this to me long ago, he's has a big sweet tooth so...part of the "reason" I ate bon-bon's after my ET -tee-hee, figured it one of the more enjoyable "treatments" in the bloody process, just didn it in moderation and cut out fat somewhere else.

Like Lioness, I googled the story and I should have loads of kids! Well, I guess maybe I will stock up on ice cream for my FET! Who knows, I am willing to try anything!

Yup, this is a part of The Fertility Diet, based on the Nurse's Health Study research conducted over 10 yrs. Full-fat milk products are good for fertility, specifically for ovulation, while non or low-fat milk products can actually hinder ovulation. This diet is especially helpful for those with PCOS and/or endo. I've been following it pretty closely for months, now, and I do feel generally healthier than I used to.

Back to the ice cream- they say not to go overboard with it, maybe 2 x week is ok. Better to drink a cup of milk a day than have 5 bowls of ice cream a day!
