There's really nothing to explain.

If you do a search, you'll see there were many posts on this topic.

Basically some people ate Barilla pasta before they got their BFP. Correlation not causation.

Barilla pasta has many nutrients that are good for you - so it wouldn't hurt to eat it while TTC - but there is no evidence to support the idea that it helps you get a BFP.

As MAM said... other than it being a healthier pasta to eat, it has nothing to do with getting pregnant.

Trust me, if it did, I wouldn't have spent thousands of dollars with an RE trying to get pregnant if Pasta would do the trick!

Re: Can someone explain the BARILLA PASTA thing??

While it certainly won't hurt anyone to eat the pasta, it is ridiculous that it was being lauded as a fertility pasta...seriously...a while back I remember reading the thread on it and shaking my head. We are all intelligent women here..if PASTA helped get women pregnant RE's would have no patients.

Like I said, it can't hurt but I HATE when i read things like "i ate the barilla pasta and got my BFP!!!". It was nights of BD'ing during ovulation that got you PG, not the pasta!!!

I remember when that thread came out, I was so confused. I actually read the box in the food store to find evidence.
