Hi, I'm new here -- just found this board and I like it much better than IG. Am getting ready to TTC Pink. I have two boys, 4 and 2. Love them to death, but would love a little girl to complete the family. Here's my plan and a few questions:
Today is last day of Birth Control Pills. Do I could the first day without pills or the day I get AF as CD1? My periods on the pill are light to the point of practically nonexistent so it might be hard to tell when it starts/ends.
I have been taking Cal/Mag/D for two weeks, but think I'm going to cut back to just Magnesium supps because I'm prone to kidney stones and I read that Calcium supps can cause more stones. Will be getting my calcium from fat free Greek Yogurt and Low Fat/Low Sodium Cottage Cheese. Don't really drink milk and am trying to limit cheese.
Magnesium -- 1 a day
Cranberry Supps -- 2 pills a day
Acidophilus -- 2 pills a day
Folic Acid -- 1 a day
Will be starting Saw Palmetto tomorrow, and taking AF thru O. Would also like to add Vitex AF thru O, but have to find some first...
Diet: DH and I decided to go vegetarian 5 months ago, having no idea it would help sway girl. So, we've been meat-free for a while. The last two weeks I've cut sodium as much as possible so right now we're at Low-Meat, Low-Sodium, and we generally eat Low-Calorie. Low-nutrient will be the hardest to cut since we love fruits and vegetables, but I'm planning on sticking to raspberries, cranberries, cucumbers, green beans, and salad greens. Protein from quinoa, beans, and yogurt or cheese. I'm skipping breakfast (which sucks!!!) and trying not to snack.
Ions: Have added an ionic purifier to my computer and bedroom. Lavender air freshener, dish soap, dryer sheets, lotion, and oil. Rose Quartz and Tourmaline bracelets. We sleep with the fan on every night.
Also, I'm on Zoloft, not because of TTC pink, and will go off of it as soon as I get a BFP.
Timing - DH travels a lot so it will depend what his schedule is around the time of O, whether we do cutoff or O + 12.
Rephresh every other day until day of attempt, last bit 8-12 hours before.
Zyrtec a couple hours before attempt.
The one thing I probably won't be as committed to is the not working out part -- I workout a lot but am going to try to eliminate weight lifting/strength training around O and do more stuff like yoga. Any idea if HOT yoga would help TTC pink since it raises core body temp?
OK, I think that's it. it helps to have this all in one place so I can see my plan :)
