Some GMOs are made so that they provide more nutrients than the "organic" variety, you know?
However, most research goes into increased yield and pest resistance.
It's great to hear that you're getting back into baby making mode!Best of luck!!
It was suggested by my reproductive endocrinologist as having possible negative effects on fertility and DNA of the egg/sperm and newly conceived baby. So I've been trying to avoid it to play it safe. After the crap I've been through, I'm not taking any chances.

yeah... lots of "information" out there... lots of sites claiming to be for natural and organic stuff... if it makes you feel better by going along with that, by all means, go! There's no harm in doing it!
Just, sometimes, it's useful to separate the wheat from the chaff. This came up in your google search:

Some time ago, a friend of mine come to me with a new fad a friend of his had told him about. This other friend was claimed to be thorough and not known to spread BS.
Well... this particular fad involved ingesting peach pits to prevent a series of ailments... including cancer. Google it. You'll find tons of websites claiming the exact same thing!
But, when you do actually go out to look for information about how that works... well... you may end up here:

This was the end of the peach pit diet for my friend.
But your GMOs, if you think you get that bit of an edge by avoiding them, hey, go for it!
Health is also in your mind.
Just don't feel rotten if, on a few occasions, you can't avoid them... the result should be negligible, at worst!
