Whey protein powder during stimming

[janett2]

I am struggling to keep up my protein intake. Are whey powder safe during ivf ? Hearing mixed opinions. I am using organic protein co whey powder.

Since this is a very expensive process dont want to do something silly and reducemy chance :)

Protein can increase the production of hormones and eggs which are essential for ivf.
Studies have shown that increasing your protein intake improves results.
I think the problem in which most protein shakes aren't advised is because most shakes are full of sugar and additives.
I also take protein powder and try to keep it as clean as possible. I also use organic protein and purition. I personally can't see a problem if you watch the ingredients and I will continue to take it through my ivf cycle

I was advised by a fertility nutritionist to introduce whey powder during stims, along with 500mls daily of full fat milk.

I was given a recipe for a smoothie to take daily during stims - happy to share this if you would like.

@sweetpea2000 please share the recipe :) that will be helpful. Did she recommend any particular brand ?

@MoonlightDreamer Thanks :)

It was the Organic Protein Company whey powder she recommended. The stims breakfast smoothie was:

250ml full fat milk
20g whey powder
small handful of oats
tablespoon flaxseed powder
teaspoon blueberry powder
handful of berries (frozen is fine)
half a banana

Plus another 250ml of full fat milk separately

Hope this helps - good luck!

@sweetpea2000 Lovely, thanks :)
