My BMI is slightly borderline to where it needs to be...We know being overweight can affect fertility just as much as being underweight can. This week, I am looking for some tasty healthy fertility boosting ideas. I read about the shakes, but I'm more interested in protein-related foods. I would like to research the topic of good fertility foods and maybe we could promote some good recipes on here together.
Cheers,

After 7 attempts (2 negatives/3 miscarriages), we have TWO miracle boys!! If you would like to hear our story, please visit http://www.ivfsuccessstories.info. Never give up, it can happen for you!!
That's brit for sharing the website. Will also be looking to see if I can find more recipes to promote fertility. I know strawberries are good for folic acid... It's going to be tough, but need to start a new year resolution of no caffeine. Anyone else making some new year resolutions out there?

I think you must try to Ham and Cheese Chicken Turnovers. It will take you 30 mins. to prepare and cook this high protein recipe. You just have to Place 3/4 slice of prosciutto and 3/4 slice of cheese on each flattened chicken breast. Fold in half. Secure with wooden toothpicks or small skewers. Heat oil and butter in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Sauté chicken turnovers 3-4 minutes per side, or until chicken is barely opaque throughout. Add wine and simmer 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks before serving garnished with parsley.
