Okay ladies, I need help BAD!

[kaseybaby]

Here is the deal, I am on month 13 TTC a girl, my 3rd round of clomid, and my 15th month of the diet. If this cycle fails, which I am 99% sure it did, I need to see and RE for secondary IF. But before I go I want to give 2 natural cycles one last chance.

What do I drop? What do I keep? What should I add to help me conceive a girl? Just in general, what do I do to get myself pregnant after these long months. I do NOT want to do too many boy friendly things. I have been at this too long to mess up my sway totally.

I know you were considering this in that other thread, but I would try to go decaff on the coffee. (Just incase)
I believe in the Sylk and RepHresh, you could try the - ion bracelet, and things with lavender in them, buy that OPK kit that I got off ebay, it's fabulous! Test 4 times a day 4 hours apart...I would skip temping.
Try to stay as stress free as possible and have fun in the bedroom. Maybe it's time to change the diet because your body is completely...I don't know immune? LOL Add some nutrients back!!! :) But most importantly I think you need to change your diet! I wish you the best of luck, and I have faith in you Kasey! :D :HH:

If you are on clomid, you need to forget about represh imo, clomid is so hostile to CM you may even want to take something like pre-seed possibly to help get pg on the clomid, or even drop any hostile lubes or low ph lubes (sylk is low ph.)

How many attempts are you doing per month around O?

[kaseybaby]

I am not using rephresh, I use preseed but only topically, not internally. I keep trying for Deanna's plan but after all these months it has been really difficult to keep up with. This past month I ovulated on CD 13, we DTD CD 8, !0, 12, 13, 15.

As for the diet, I am definitely starting to add more healthy food back in my diet, but I am so used to not eating breakfast, that I don't even want it anymore. I am not sure what to add back in that isn't too boy friendly.

First of all, several people have gotten pg the month coming off of Clomid so I'm KFX that this will be the case for you as well.

Are you getting the 1500-1800 cals, 40-50 g pro, 25-60 g fat? Err on the side of the upper limits, particularly on fat. I'd add in a DHA supp as well because after this long on diet, you need it.

Here is what I would add in terms of nutrition - up folic to 2000 mcg if you're not taking that much already (if you are taking that much up it to 2500-3000), add 18 mg iron supp every day, 8-15 mg zinc supp 3-4 times a week. Are you using iodized salt for your sodium intake? If not, start eating some, or you may be able to find a low dose iodine supplement (no more than 100% DRV)

Continue with the Preseed and I think it may be time to add Robi/Muci to the mix as well. This is more than a VJ problem (that Preseed alone could fix), it has to be that your entire repro tract is too sperm-hostile. If you're really scared to use both, drop Preseed and try just the Robi/Muci instead.

I like what you're doing with Deanna's Plan and I'd continue doing that.

Oh I completely agree I didn't know if she would go a 4th cycle on Clomid. But yes if you do Clomid don't change or add ANYTHING and eat healthy again with it. With Clomid you want to get prego ASAP!

BUT... I wouldn't do Clomid again, go off it and try that with the other suggestions! ;)
Best of Luck!

hello everyone i have just joined and reading all your threads is mind blogging, lol, im praying for a little girl and just learning about the sways,just a quick question, what is clomid? thank you x

[atomic sagebrush]

Hi and welcome! Clomid is a fertility drug that is believed to sway pink. You can read about it here:

And this essay has info about how you'll need to change your sway while taking it.

Okay, when do I star the robitussin? What kind do I get? Can I use gel tabs? How much do i take? Sorry for all the questions, but I am on a mission to get pregnant with a girl this summer. I do NOT want to have to start with an RE. Should I take vitex next month?

In my gut, I don't think I am conceiving at all. I don't think it is an implantation problem, I think it is a conceiving problem.

[atomic sagebrush]

Then it's probably an issue of sperm not meeting egg and the Preseed/Robi/Muci will help make that happen :agree:

Get the kind that is just guanifesin with no other ingredients. Tablets are fine. Start it 5 days before you expect to O, and if you're not sure when that is, you can just start it the day after you stop the Clomid (unlike some of the girl supps, Robi/Muci can be taken whenever so you can start it a bit earlier if you like.) Take the max dose on the bottle until 2 days past ovulation, then you can stop it.

I don't think you should take vitex. I think you need to get pg NOW and vitex can interfere with that, plus it will keep your body from recovering from the negative effects of the Clomid (Clomid stays in your body for 6 weeks after you stop taking it!)

You have no idea how hard this is for me to do anything that sways remotely boy :D I am such a control freak and I have been at this for so long, I have a system down. Ha!

[atomic sagebrush]

Sometimes I think this is all God's way of teaching us control-freak boy moms that in order to get what we want, we actually need to let go and let it happen! :)

[kaseybaby]

I am going to listen to those words of wisdom AS. Because if I have to go to an RE then I really lose control, and I can't have that, lol.

[kaseybaby]

AS, what about using Sylk with next months sway in conjunction with the robitussin?

[atomic sagebrush]

Sylk and Robitussin is ok. Sylk plus Preseed is a no-no because a chemical reaction happens that will kill sperm.
