Okay, so I heard about this fertility bone broth thing and I was like, “What the heck is that?” I’m trying to have a baby, and it’s been a real struggle. So, I figured, why not give it a shot? I’m not getting any younger, you know?
First, I had to figure out what this stuff even was. Turns out, it’s basically just soup made by boiling animal bones for a long time. People say it’s packed with good stuff that can help you get pregnant. I was skeptical, but also desperate. I mean, I love soup, and if it could help me have a baby, I’m all in.
I went to the butcher and got some bones. I felt a bit weird asking for them, but hey, gotta do what you gotta do. I chose a mix of beef and chicken bones ’cause I heard that’s a good combo. Then I went to the grocery store and picked up some veggies: carrots, celery, onions – the usual soup suspects. I also grabbed some apple cider vinegar ’cause I read online that it helps get the minerals out of the bones.
When I got home, I basically threw everything into a big pot. I covered the bones with water, added the veggies, a splash of the vinegar, and some salt and pepper for taste. I brought it to a boil, then turned down the heat to let it simmer. And when I say simmer, I mean for a long time. Like, all day and all night long. It was like a science experiment, I watched it occasionally. My kitchen smelled like a soup factory, but I didn’t mind.
The Simmering Wait
- Day 1: Started the broth in the morning. By evening, the house smelled amazing. Felt hopeful.
- Day 2: Woke up to the smell of broth. It was still simmering away. Added more water as needed.
- Day 3: Finally turned off the heat. The broth looked rich and golden. I was pretty proud of myself, not gonna lie.
After letting it cool a bit, I strained the broth to get rid of the bones and veggies. Then, I poured it into jars and stuck them in the fridge. It turned into a jelly-like consistency, which I learned is a sign of a good bone broth – lots of collagen, they say.
I started drinking a cup of this broth every day. I’d heat it up on the stove or in the microwave, sometimes adding a bit of extra salt or some herbs to change up the flavor. I gotta say, it was actually pretty tasty. It felt good to drink something so warm and comforting.
I also did a little research and found that bone broth is supposed to be good for your hormones and liver, which are important for fertility. It’s also got calcium, which is good for your bones. I figured, even if it doesn’t help me get pregnant, it’s still good for me, right? But I’m still drinking milk and eating yogurt every day.
I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now. I can’t say for sure if it’s working, but I do feel good. I feel healthier, and I have more energy. Maybe it’s the broth, maybe it’s the hope that it’s working. Either way, I’m gonna keep at it. Having a baby is my dream, and I’ll do whatever it takes. Plus, I’ve gotten pretty good at making soup, so there’s that!
So, that’s my fertility bone broth journey so far. It’s been an interesting experience, to say the least. If you’re trying to conceive and looking for something to try, maybe give it a shot. It can’t hurt, and it might just help. And if nothing else, you’ll have a delicious, healthy drink to enjoy.
