Kourtney Kardashian says she drinks her husband’s sperm to try to conceive

Kim Kardashian’s sister is going through an IVF process and has revealed controversial methods; expert demystifies habits

the American socialite Kourtney Kardashian revealed, in the reality show ‘The Kardashians’, some controversial techniques she adopted in a treatment to get pregnant. She and her husband Travis Barkerwho recently got married, are undergoing an IVF process, and the methods revealed by the celebrity have gone viral on social media to be, at the very least, unusual.

After all, it’s not every day that someone says they are drinking her husband’s spermFour times a week, to try to get pregnant. According to Kourtney, her doctor said she would be able to balance her thyroid hormones this way.

Kim Kardashian’s sister also revealed that she eats quail eggs every day to increase her fertilization.

“It doesn’t exist at all. There is no reason to drink sperm to improve the patient’s fertilization “, underlines Dr. Francisco Furtado Filho, a gynecologist specializing in fertilization.

In an interview with Land, ensures that there is no scientific evidence proving the effectiveness of sperm consumption in the fertilization process. He also says that he has no idea where this fake could come from.

Balance the thyroid?

The only real part of Kourtney’s whole revelation is the need to balance every gland in the female human body. Furtado explains that when there is any change – more, with hyperthyroidism or not, with hypothyroidism, for example – this process can prevent the patient from ovulating. If you are already pregnant, the patient may also have a miscarriage.

“It is essential that the thyroid gland functions normally, so that it does not interfere in the ovulatory process, in the process of embryo implantation and does not cause an abortion, for example,” explains the gynecologist.

In any case, drinking sperm is not the solution. You can replace it, without fear, with a balanced diet with foods rich in fiber, iodine, selenium, zinc and copper, nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of the gland. They are found in seafood, whole grains, eggs and nuts.

Quail egg every day?

Kourtney also said she eats quail eggs every day in this fertilization process. Furtado explains that yes, protein is welcome during this time, but says it doesn’t have to be quail. It can also be chicken or duck.

“When we guide a patient to improve her nutritional conditions to get pregnant and have a proper pregnancy, we try to guide her to use a diet fundamentally Mediterranean. Here in Brazil, we have to adapt this option, “she says.

Hence, the alternatives found for who wants to get pregnant they are foods rich in proteins, oil seeds and olive oil.

What to avoid?

According to the gynecologist, in this situation it is necessary to avoid eating foods rich in gluten, milk and derivatives. He explains: “Gluten, sugar, milk and dairy products can somehow increase the anti-inflammatory process in our body.”

This can make it difficult for the embryo to attach to the uterus, preventing its development.
