Peas...Fertility Poison apparently!


Hi All,

As the title suggests, peas are our TTC enemies! I've been doing a bit of research around diet and fertility. I drink tons of tea and want to cut out caffeine...or at least reduce it. Anyway i came across loads of articles warning of the negative effect of eating peas!

They contain a natural contraceptive chemical called m-xylohydroquinine which interferes with our hormone levels so much evidence in fact that scientists are now trying to see how they can use peas as a contraceptive!

.....and they looked so innocent!

Uh oh, I had a huge plate of peas, carrots, corn, and lima beans last night! But now I have more EWCM, so maybe I didn't eat too many peas?
