Let’s be real — when you’re trying to conceive (especially after loss), everything feels intense. You’re tracking temps, peeing on sticks, Googling every twinge… and then there’s the food part. I wanted to eat in a way that actually supported my body, but also felt good, tasted good, and didn’t stress me out.
During the cycle I conceived my rainbow baby (!!!), I focused on eating meals that were nourishing, anti-inflammatory, hormone-friendly, and easy to throw together — because nobody has time for complicated recipes when you’ve already got a hundred things on your mind.
So here they are — 5 meals and snacks I genuinely ate and loved during the cycle that finally brought me that big fat positive. Whether you’re deep in the TTC trenches, healing after loss, or just looking for some fertility-friendly food inspo, I hope these give you a little hope (and a lot of yum).
Conclusion
Honestly? These meals weren’t magical potions. But they did help me feel more grounded, nourished, and in tune with my body. And in a season of uncertainty, that meant everything.
If you’re on your own TTC journey, I’m sending you the biggest virtual hug. Keep going. Keep nourishing. And don’t forget — your journey is uniquely yours, and every cycle brings you one step closer.
Now go eat something delicious — You’ve got this. 💕
