What Should I Eat to Get Pregnant?
A Fertility Nutritionist's Guide to Fertility Foods
What should I eat when trying to get pregnant?
One of the most common questions I hear as a fertility coach and holistic nutritionist is:
"What should I eat when trying to get pregnant?"
The truth is, there isn't one magical fertility food that guarantees pregnancy. However, research continues to show that nutrition plays a critical role in hormone balance, egg quality, sperm health, ovulation, implantation, and overall reproductive health.
At Fertility Blooms, I work with women and couples struggling with:
Unexplained infertility
PCOS
Endometriosis
Low AMH
Poor egg quality
Recurrent pregnancy loss
Failed IVF and IUI cycles
Male factor infertility
One of the first places we start is with food.
The goal isn't dieting. The goal is creating a fertility-friendly lifestyle that nourishes your body and provides the nutrients needed to support conception and a healthy pregnancy.
Can what I eat help me get pregnant?
Can Diet Improve Fertility?
Many women wonder if changing their diet can actually help them get pregnant.
While food alone cannot fix every fertility challenge, nutrition can have a significant impact on:
Egg quality
Hormone production
Ovulation
Insulin regulation
Inflammation
Sperm quality
Implantation support
Overall reproductive health
The foods you eat today help build the eggs that may be ovulated months from now. That's why I encourage my clients to start nourishing their bodies as early as possible.
Best Foods for Fertility and Egg Quality
If you're wondering what foods help fertility naturally, focus on nutrient-dense whole foods such as:
Healthy Fats
Healthy fats provide building blocks for hormone production.
Examples include:
Avocados
Extra virgin olive oil
Nuts
Seeds
Wild-caught salmon
Sardines
Protein-Rich Foods
Protein helps support hormone balance and blood sugar regulation.
Choose:
Eggs
Chicken
Turkey
Grass-fed beef
Lentils
Beans
Wild fish
Antioxidant-Rich Foods
Antioxidants help protect eggs and sperm from oxidative stress.
Include:
Blueberries
Strawberries
Raspberries
Dark leafy greens
Beets
Colourful vegetables
Fertility Superfoods
Some of my favourite fertility-supportive foods include:
Bone broth
Pumpkin seeds
Chia seeds
Walnuts
Eggs
Berries
Leafy greens
Wild salmon
What do I eat to keep my inflammation down?
Why an Anti-Inflammatory Fertility Diet Matters
Inflammation is one of the most overlooked contributors to fertility challenges.
Women dealing with:
Endometriosis
PCOS
Autoimmune conditions
Poor egg quality
Recurrent miscarriage
often benefit from reducing inflammatory foods and increasing anti-inflammatory nutrients.
At Fertility Blooms, we focus on creating sustainable eating habits that support fertility without restrictive dieting.
Eating Like You're Already Pregnant
One of my favourite fertility tips is simple:
Eat like you're already pregnant.
Before pregnancy, your body is already preparing:
Hormones
Egg development
Nutrient stores
Uterine health
Blood sugar regulation
By nourishing your body now, you're creating the strongest possible foundation for conception and pregnancy.
