eating eggs

Anyone ever hear that this helps you conceive? I have heard this quite a few times, not related to my TTC but just in passing or about someone else, but I have heard it from a few friends and from a nutritionist.

Anyone? I am so curious about thia please enlighten me.

TIA!

I have never heard of this one and I thought I had heard them all.

That's a first. Never heard that one.

So far all I could find online was this:

Trying to Conceive? Eat Eggs and Butter

Butterfat contains arachidonic acid. As detailed in my PUFA Report, arachidonic acid is critical to fertility in both men and women. In men, it is necessary for the production of testosterone and sperm. In women, it is necessary for ovulation, and when it is time for birth it is necessary for the induction of labor.

The best sources of arachidonic acid are liver and egg yolks. Butter is a decent source, and other animal fats also have small amounts.

There are worse things to have to eat than butter and eggs

Re: eating eggs

This may sound weird... but I have been eating 1 hard boiled egg every morning for the last 3 weeks! I just started eating them b/c they were fast and "on the go"

I did just get a positive pregnancy, but I don't know if it has anything to do with it... but hey... I guess it couldn't hurt...

hahah lol.

ETA- I didn't eat 1 hard boiled egg b/c I heard it would help with getting prego... although it could have been the case.
