mrs.farmerbrown :
After 5 years of infertility it turns out my Bath&Body bodywash and Diet Coke was making me infertile, it was a genetic blood clotting disorder. I was flabbergasted. I asked the doctor how I caused this, they had to explain that I was born with it and my whole family needed to get tested for it because they probably had it to (they did).

4 years in. Scented lotion couldn’t possibly make me more infertile than I already am. So like, I’m gonna just smell good and have that bit of joy for myself. I felt so rebellious when I bought it!

I feel this so much. I literally gave up EVERYTHING. No nail polish, no hair dye, perfumes, deodorant. Then I went through infertility and had my EFF IT moment. My Diet Coke and I are very happy.

The way i used to be afraid to touch a receipt because of the chemicals to now having a Coke Zero section in my fridge. Microplastics? Unavoidable at this point, F IT!

I’m sorry for your struggles but you’re so right. I used to be an addict, eat whatever, drink whatever, infact love lots of tequila. Smoke. And I got pregnant 1st try 3 times in a row, now pregnant a 4th by surprise! Your fertility isn’t about what you are doing right or wrong, life is just unfair sometimes. Both my parents passed young from sickness and they never drank or smoked, cooked from scratch. Sometimes life is just so unfair. Live your life girl. Your baby will come when you least expect it.

And the issue with most crunchy things, is the goalpost and ingredients change monthly. Soooo

I am not crunchy but I feel like infertility got me taking all these supplements I don’t even believe in.

I went crunchy during infertility too - but it was actually PCOS and my husband cooking his sperm with baths 😂 We have two children because of science!

Same. Even did acupuncture, naturopaths drawing 20+ vials of blood per draw, only natural fiber clothing, natural dishwasher soap, natural clothing soap, and no plastic touching my food. Now, I’m injecting myself with a God knows what to grown my eggs.

My friend is in nursing school & I mentioned the term “crunchy mom.” He had no idea what it was. It kind of put into perspective how much of that lifestyle is either made up or rooted in fear mongering.

Suzy :
If its worth anything iM pretty sure it was actually the stress that was causing my infertility for years. I was so exhausted from the ivf and trying to do everythingmperfect that one day we finally just said fuck it and bought a jet ski and decided to be the cool aunt and uncle, BOOM PREGNANT. Like 2 months after we stopped trying

The stress of avoiding and vilifying everything is exhausting

ACART :
Man, this is SO refreshing to hear! I have officially hit that point myself after YEARS of giving up so many things I enjoy and not really “living,” just going through the motions trying to create the cleanest, healthiest body possible to have a baby. I think I convinced myself that because I’ve done hard things my whole life, surely I could fix this too if I just tried hard enough. But infertility doesn’t work that way. I actually got my nails done for an event today 😮🤣 Wild to think there would ever come a point in my life where something so simple would make me feel like I was doing something naughty.
