I fell pregnant naturally with my first son on the RPAH elimination diet and I had tested up to amines. My chances were extremely low given my limited follicle count. I am wondering if there is any evidence of failsafe and positive fertility outcomes? We're doing IVF to try and have another and have one embryo left. I am considering going back on the diet prior to see if it helps my chances.

Followup 20 months later: Well it didn't work for that last embryo. We had another retrieval using donor eggs as my follicles stopped responding. I ate according to the diet that I'd tested for in the past. So no soy, no gluten, and no lactose and no nuts or honey. That embryo stuck. I now have the most beautiful 7 month old son with the help of science, diet and my donor. I'm super lucky to have both my boys and I feel diet had a big part to play in being able to successfully conceive/implant both – Karen
