    Entering 5th cycle. Need advice!

    My BMI is TOO low and I need to conceive ASAP. Here are my thoughts for cycle 5. I am thinking about cutting out FR this month, along with Zyrtec. I had cut out Rephresh last month. Any thoughts as to if I should cut anymore supplements? I really can't afford to be on this diet much longer, I am very much afraid it will affect O soon. I am also not producing much CM during O which makes me wonder if I am producing what I need to conceive! Any advice would be appreciated!


    DIET:
    Low Everything diet since April 30. I am 5'5" and now weigh 109 lbs. I have lost a total of 18 lbs. BMI started at 21.1 is now 18.1. I don't eat before 12pm. I have my second meal between 6-7pm. Each meal is about 600 calories. I then have a small 300-400 calorie meal between 9-10pm.

    Eat 1500-1700 calories each day.

    25-35 grams of fat each day

    40-50 grams of protein each day

    700-1000mg of sodium each day

    I drank either a diet coke or crystal light with 2 meals per day.

    DH will not diet but is limiting red meat and fish. He drinks a lot of diet coke and light beer.


    EXERCISE:
    Couch Potato since beginning of May.

    Supplements/Minerals:

    Vitex – 400mg once in the AM and then once in the PM from AF to +OPK. (this has made me very regular, is that a sign it is acting like birth control?)
    Low Dosage Aspirin – Every 3 days, so roughly 2-3 times per week.

    Folic Acid – 1200mcg

    Saw Palmetto - 320mg AF- +OPK

    DH:
    Cranberry - 1,860 mg fruit equivalent daily
    Fish Oil: 2400mg daily (needs this for cholesterol)
    Probiotic daily
    Cinnamon: 500 mg daily (for cholesterol)
    antidepressant daily

    TIMING:
    Last month we did 7 days of FR, cut Rephresh and BD'd twice on O-1 and once on O. I either laid flat for 20 min. or fell asleep with all attempts.
    Is it time to let go of FR and move to EOD or should we tough it out 1 more month? Make 1 attempt day before anticipated OPK+ (when I get my fade in), twice on OPK+(usually o-1 for me) and then 1 attempt on O.

    Lubes:
    nothing

    Atomic, no need to respond to this one. I posted it here and DM by mistake and you already answered it. Thanks!
