being grateful Thank you so much for this frank and open article. I too have been reading this book and I wish I’d have heard about thanking Hashem for everything before this. It is very hard but it makes sense, you need to have emunah that everything is for your good and we get that by asking Hashem to help us believe it is for the good. It’s much easier to see with hindsight how much stronger my divorce has made me, for example but much harder when I’m facing a difficult situation at this moment.

Ferti;lity Advice-Low Glycemic Index Diet Some women might experience higher levels of fertility by lowering the glycemic index of her diet and/or reducing her carbohydrate intake. This means replacing bread, potatoes, rice and so on with unlimited green vegetables, proteins (including legumes), and good oil sources such as nuts, avacadoes, fish, olives, and so on, for at least two meals per day. Low glycemic index diets are typically for diabetics. While consulting women on childbearing matters, I occasionally saw relatively quick positive results with this approach. Why this isn’t more commonly offered as an option worth trying is a question of mine. Unlike most people, infertile women are more motivated and willing to modify their diet for a possible good outcome. Also even if it only seemed to work for a small percent of women, it would still be worthy information. I’m an advocate of word-of-mouth value because medical research has inherent weaknesses. May HaShem guide and bless you.

I really appreciated your insights. Even though I am much older and have never had children of my own (only one stepson), I’m not a natural mother either. I wish you all the best, and more children as H’ wills.
