Four weeks till attempt

[Blueplease]

With only 4 weeks to go until my attempt, can you pls have a look at me BLUE sway and see if Im on the right track. Thank you

Dw
Supps- elevit with iodine, FO 1000mg, Coq 60 mg and a pro-biotic taking first thing in the morni g around 6am with a glass of v8 and a handful of nuts. Extra folic acid spread throughout the day.

8am- oats with full fat or oat milk and a banana or egg on toast

10am- handful of nuts

12pm- ham/ tuna salad with dressing and rice crackers or a glass of juice. Ham salad sandwich

2pm- apple with peanut butter or rice crackers with ham or cottage cheese.

4.30pm on way home from work- a handful of nuts

6pm- red meat stir fry with brown rice, steak/ chicken with salad/ vegetables. Baked potato with ham and a little cheese. Usually with a glass of juice. Finished with water melon. Could I add a tablespoon on yogurt here. Obv I'm aware that I need to limit my calcium but aware that I need bait for fertility in general. Am I getting enough with full fat milk/ and the odd bit of cheese/ butter????

Eating before bed is the hardest as I'm usually so full... But trying as I k ow it's very important to have a small bowl of special k with oat/ ff milk


Struggling with time for exercise as the minute as work is so busy and also with the girls end of years activities. Trying my best and will def up it over the next four weeks but any advice on how to increase my tester one.

Green tea/ black tea/ lots of lemon water and v8 juices. One coffee a day but trying to cut this out.


Dh

50 + multivitamin, 1000iui vit d, FO 1000mg, pro-biotic, coq10 60mg x twice a day, l- carnitinr 500mg x2

Dh eats very similar to me although no snacks really.. Cereal/ toast in morning, sandwiches for lunch, lots of nuts and dinner same as me.

Cut down on his coffee. Lots of v8

No reaal exercise but he works as an engineer on a building site so is constantly lifting etc.


AF roughly 20the nov.. Usually 2-3 days. We will bd every day from when I finch with him pulling out (or would it help if he released in me say on the first few occasions, or am I risking swaying pink... Little confused on all this.

Wil start using a little pressed every other day after AF finished, then every day from 5dbo. Do I do same with robust in? Need to look into this more, I will do at the weeken

Am gonna have a cocunut water/ wheatgrass (if I can stomach it) blitz from day of AF until o. Should dh do this to??

From cd9/10 I'm going to opk test daily / maybe twice a day..... And this is where I need clarifying on...."... So as soon as I get a smiley face it means ovulation is imminent within a few hours. So as soon as positive ( smiley face) bd say 3 times... Once as soon as, 1 the following morning / eve depending on when get the positive and then again. Doggy style best with hips propped and lie flat for say 30 mins at least.

Few questions

Opk best to test in afternoon???

Read on here last night about vit d for blue swaying. Living in Australia and taking elevit which includes it.. Is this enough???

Am I right in my attempt thinking... As soon as I get a positive, one attempt then, 1 few hours later and so on.. Or as dluoi recommended kp going until I get a negative.

How can I increase my tester one?

I haven't been testing my ph levels. Should I??

Thank you. Please feel free to pick at anything or everything. I believe thanks to atomics plan it's a pretty good sway but still feeling very nervous. Anything to add. Thanks

Squats would be the number 1 exercise i would recommend, you can sneak them in a few times a day without really having to assign time for exercise, like after you go to the toilet everytime do 20 squats, by the end of the day you will have done 100 or so.

Yes do your OPKs in the afternoon, same time every day. Testing ph isnt absolutly necessary. I think you are getting enough vit D in your prenatal and the sun.

1 or 2 coffees a day is fine. You dont need to use preseed until you are in your fertile window, but you can if you need lubrication. Fish oil capsules gave me lots of ewcm, so consider that as an extra supplement.

Try to get 3 attempts in your fertile window, and i would let DH stay inside you while dtd leading up to O.

[Blueplease]

Great advice about the swats thank you.

So dh to release inside me every 2-3 days after AF till ovulation and in my fertile window. I'm not sure where I lie on timing and think I would be a little worried that this could sway pink or would it not really due to dh releasing every few daysas opposed to every day or absanting for a week or so. Know it helps with tester one levels etc but think I will go for releasing in me for the first couple of times after AF and then outside me as ovulation approach and then obviously go for it when I get a positive opk. Does this sound ok or should I just go for releasing in me everytime from AF till after positive opk.

Congrats on your Bfp.. When will you find out the gender. Fingers x for you.

I love this tip! Thank you Cinss!

1)Yes, DEF. add a bit of yogurt with your dinner!! You DON'T need to limit your calcium, that's just one theory and we are having the best results with blue amongst people who didn't limit it.

2)I believe it helps when he releases inside you regularly (because you are exposed to the hormones in his semen) and I do NOT think timing sways in any way so if you want him to release inside you, I think it helps and does not hurt anything at all. If you have an attempt 4 DBO, that's FINE. It will NOT sway pink and then you can go onto have more attempts closer to O.

3)I'd use Robitussin starting 5 days before O and continue until O Day. some people start it the day after O and continue 3 days past O - it's up to you.

4)yes, if DH is willing he should do a "blitz" - it IS expensive tho so if you can only afford for one of you to do it, make it him.

5)When you get a smiley face, O will occur within 8-48 hours, average 36 hours. I like for blue swayers to BD 3 -5 times at or around the pos OPK, so you have that just right, that night, and then the next morning, and again the next night for 3 times in the fertile microwindow. Or, you can keep going till you get a negative. Either way.

6)OPK after lunch :agree:.

7)I like you guys to get about 1000 IU Vit. D give or take

8)diet and supps will increase T even if you can't exercise

9)I wouldn't test pH, I don't think it accomplishes anything other than stressing people out

Yes i would let DH release inside you everytime, dont worry about swaying pink, they do things quite differently, and incase you O earlier than expected you will still have attempts up your sleeve.

I have a fair idea what the gender is with my bub, my US tech gave me a 70% boy guess, and i got 100% boy guesses from the pics here, you can see them if you click the link at the bottom of my siggy, but i will get confirmation at my 18 week scan just before xmas :)

ooo Cinss so excited for you!! :heart:

[Blueplease]

Hi all.. Sorry not been on here for the last week. Few family issues but all good now. Felt like I was going through cold turkey not being able to get on here.

Cniss--- big congratulations that you think it's blue. Thinking of you as your scan date approaches.

As-- once again thxs for all your invaluable advice. I was worried about my testerone levels as not been exercising but you think the supps will be ok???

Getting plenty of vit d at mo as very warm but it's in my eve bit and dh taking extra.

Yes I have yogurt/ cheeses.

Must go as back in work today but will be back later. Thank you

Diet and supps alone can raise T, exercise is just the blue icing on the cake!
