Fish...do you eat it?

Just thought it would be interesting to share our thoughts on eating fish and whether our habbits have changed since TTC...


I'll go first. I love seafood, but since coming off BCP I have found myself cutting back on what I eat. I would regularly have tuna 1x a week, and I could really go for a tuna sandwich! I still eat fish, but not as frequently, and I am careful about what I eat...

Re: Fish...do you eat it?

I don't smoke or do drugs to begin with, so I do not plan on changing my life until I get my BFP.

Had I given up fish, caffeine, and all of the other things you're not supposed to have, this would have been a much more torturous 11 months!

Re: Fish...do you eat it?

i only eat Tuna.. but i heard that too much seafood is bad.. and different types..so im not too educated on what is good and bad..

all i know is there are so many things that we should or should not be eating.. i just say as long as it is not the drinking/smoking/caffeine. we will be fine!!
our parents did this!! they didnt have the problems we do now

Actually, since reading the Fertility Diet, I've been eating more fish per week.

This is coming from someone that NEVER ate fish. (Unless, I went out for sushi).

All the time. I don't plan on changing until I get my BFP. Once I realized this is taking longer then I would like, I didn't want to make things more stressful!

The only thing I did do was switch to decaf coffee.

Re: Fish...do you eat it?

i don't eat it, but i'm a vegetarian, so it doesn't really have anything to do with ttc.

Re: Fish...do you eat it?

i hate fish and never eat it and sometimes think maybe i should try since it is good for you but can't stomach the thought
although i do eat canned tuna, of course the one i will have to limit once i do get a bfp

Re: Fish...do you eat it?

I am allergic to all seafood, but wish I wasn't and could eat it because of the health benefits . . .

Re: Fish...do you eat it?

The only fish I tried to avoid was swordfish b/c my doctor gave me a TTC packet and it said pregnant women and women who were TTC shouldn't eat it. There were a few other types of fish on the list too, but I don't eat those and can't remember what they were. I tried to cut back a little on tuna b/c I have always eaten a lot of it and now that I'm pregnant, I've only eaten it once. You can have it in moderation, but since I've always eaten a lot of tuna, I wanted to stop eating it during pregnancy.

Re: Fish...do you eat it?

Nope, Everything in moderation. And I would never change anything while TTC, you never know how long it will take!

I eat sushi (mostly rolls) Salmon and Ahi Tuna (can't live without it!!)

Re: Fish...do you eat it?

Absolutely - Aside from trying to eat 'healthier' and lose some weight - I'm not changing anything before I'm pregnant - There's way too much I can't do WHILE I'm pregnant !!
