Question 1

which foods boost fertility?

Accepted Answer

Dairy if irregular?: 1 study says a daily high-fat dairy serving (full fat milk, yogurt, ice cream) may help women who have irregular periods. Weight loss may increase your chances if overweight. If you're ttc at 38 see a fertility specialist (reproductive endocrinology and infertility or rei md) to get checked out and to increase your fertility. Low egg supply (diminished ovarian reserve) may be an issue in late 30's.
