    Does whey protein sway?

    Before getting pregnant last time I was only drinking whole milk.

    Since giving birth though I bought a caffeinated whey protein powder drink, and I love it. It decreases my appetite and helped me lose my baby weight (I only have 4 lbs to go). I was just wondering if it might sway boy by increasing testosterone. But if so, would that be balanced out by the fact that it helps me eat fewer calories?

    Also, does anyone know if it hurts or helps chances of getting pregnant?

    Thanks!

    Is it vitamin fortified? If so avoid it.

    Otherwise it's fine within diet limits. No it doesn't raise testosterone (that is only a high protein diet overall + muscletraining exercise that does that and some people use whey protein to boost their protein intake but that doesn't mean that whey protein in and of itself does anythign)

    As long as you're sticking in limits overall it's fine.

    RE hurting chances of pregnancy, too much caffeine may lower odds of pregnancy but I believe 2-3 servings a day are fine.
