It Starts with the Egg
It Starts with the Egg: How the Science of Egg Quality Can Help You Get Pregnant Naturally, Prevent Miscarriage, and Improve Your Odds in IVF | Rebecca Fett
3 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
Whether you are trying to conceive naturally or through IVF, the quality of your eggs will have a powerful impact on how long it takes you to get pregnant and whether you face an increased risk of miscarriage. Poor egg quality is emerging as the single most important cause of age-related infertility, recurrent miscarriage, and failed IVF cycles. It is also a major contributor to infertility in PCOS. Based on a comprehensive investigation of a vast array of scientific research, It Starts with the Egg reveals a groundbreaking new approach for improving egg quality and fertility. With a concrete strategy that includes minimizing exposure to toxins such as BPA and phthalates, choosing the right vitamins and supplements to safeguard developing eggs, and harnessing nutritional advice shown to boost IVF success rates, this book offers practical solutions that will help you get pregnant faster and deliver a healthy baby. "This timely synthesis of scientific literature is essential reading for both women and men wanting practical, evidence-based recommendations to enhance their fertility." - Dr. Loretta McKinnon, Epidemiologist, Princess Alexandra Hospital. "A thoroughly-researched and eye-opening account of how small, simple lifestyle changes can have powerful, positive effects on your health and fertility. A must-read for women wanting the best chance of conceiving a healthy baby." - Beth Greer, bestselling author of Super Natural Home

The book is helpful in that it compiles information into a single source. As a licensed nutritionist, I was already familiar with the nutrition advice provided, though I took issue with the demonization of perfectly healthy foods (white potatoes). It would be helpful for someone who hasn't thought much about their food and lifestyle choices and would now like to give themselves the best chance at conceiving and carrying a child.

iread2much How fascinating! I work a lot with our dietetic interns, I will have to add this book to my shelf for them 3y
DanaManiac @iread2much oh awesome! It‘s definitely an interesting read, especially for those new to the topic. People feel more empowered when they realize how much of an impact their everyday choices can have! 3y
iread2much @DanaManiac my undergrad nutrition students will probably really enjoy it then 😄 thanks so much 3y

Anyone TTC should read. There's so much that we just don't know. I've barely read the intro and I've already learned so much. 🙏🏽🌈
