Keto for fertility, anyone tried?

Hi all, I've heard some good things about how keto/low carb can drastically increase fertility. Something to do with insulin and sugars affecting egg quality. Anyone tried this and had any luck?

I've been doing keto for about 2 weeks and I actually had a positive ovulation test last week. So I don't know if it has really been from that or the tons of supplements I've tried, but I figure if it doesn't hurt then why not try it. We will see if my period or bfp shows up though. My OBGYN thinks I have PCOS and I had heard that keto is suppose to help with that so that is kind of what made me try it.

I’ve heard a lot of advice against going low carb as a woman in general but especially while TTC and pregnant.

I’ve heard good things. I’ve been keto for 5 months, and while ironically we’ve been using birth control preparing for IVF, I have done a physical where my health numbers have improved. I feel better and I heard while you might not want to lose weight during an Ivf cycle or transfer, that losing weight beforehand can improve chances, even 5-10 lbs. Even better if you can get bmi below 30, or below 25 ideally. It’s a struggle but crossing fingers it’s worth it in the end. I’m also never bloated anymore, and I can concentrate better.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
