I think I've gathered enough info to put a plan in place. I'd welcome any suggestions, comments or criticism. Sorry it's so long as I'm kinda documenting it for myself too :)
I will have been doing most of this for 8 to 10 weeks when we will be TTC Boy in May.
Supplements for DW:
FertileCM
Folic Acid - 4000mcg
Fish Oil - 1200mg
Natural Vit. E - 400 i.u
Liquid B Complex 1ml dropper (contains 2mg B6/1.2mg B12/1.7mg Riboflavin/30mg Pantothentic Acid)
URAL from AF-O in May (I bought Alkaseltzer Gold but I guess I don't need it if taking URAL, right?)
I need to get some Potassium Chloride Tablets
Supplements for DH:
FertilAid for Men
Folic Acid - 800mcg
Fish Oil - 1200mg
Natural Vit. E - 400 i.u.
Liquid B Complex 1ml dropper (contains 2mg B6/1.2mg B12/1.7mg Riboflavin/30mg Pantothentic Acid)
Zinc - 50mg
Diet: Trying to follow Boy Diet and high sodium/potassium foods and adding sea salt and NYF as much as possible. (Has anyone heard of Himalyan Salt? That's what I used to use since it's natural and full of minerals stripped out of other salts. Stopped using for this diet.)
Breakfast: Forcing myself to eat Breakfast and is generally 2 egg whites w/ bacon or ham and 3 cherry tomatoes or 1 small tomato. Hashbrowns or fried potato slices. Started Rice Krispies as well and just bought some sausage and summer sausage to mix it up. Glass of 100% Fruit Juice.
Lunch: high sodium soups, hot dogs, IG Boy diet salads, and left over bacon. (will try the tuna sandwiches). McDonald's Hamburgers and Fries w/ Lemonade when out and about (this is a big step for me)
Snacks: Avocados, Bananas, high sodium potato chips (been eating some fruit like pineapple but will up it know that I know it's OK) Truvia when sweetener needed.
Dinner: IG Boy diet- trying. Because of living situation I don't have full control over dinner but trying to eat as much meat and tomato products as possible like sloppy jo's, some pizza, meatloaf, ziti, etc. and iceburg lettuce w/ tomato salads. Trying to keep meat in at least 2 meals per day.
Drinks: Evamor Alkaline (8.9 PH) Water w/ lemon, 100% Fruit Juice, and Lemonade. I've had 2 Starbucks Carmel Frapps this week but they are made w/ whole milk and I conceived my last DS drinking them almost daily. I had none since starting the diet. Tried Green Tea, but blech!
I'm struggling with getting the recommended Sodium and Potassium daily amounts since I'm not a big eater and hate water. I used to live pretty much on Milk, Daily Carmel Frapps and Red Bulls. I think that I am doing really well on avoiding the things I shouldn't eat, I think. I know the Whole Milk jury is still out but limiting anyway had the frapps and 1 bowl of cereal w/ whole milk so far.
Ions:
Our bedroom is small. DH's computer is on a lot and my laptop as well + a larger flat screen tv and lots of outlets and plugs. We bought an electric blanket that we put on it's lowest setting and I have the cell on me during the day and next to the bed at night. Before my AF moved on me, I was scheduled to Ovulate on the Full Moon but now that won't work. Will look for flares but I'm trying in May either way. I like Atomic's suggestion to go shopping and use their A/C on BD day. :)
I've had both of my girls in July, DS#1 in Nov and DS#2 in Dec. So, I'm crazy but I have decided my body must have boys in the winter and girls in the summer. We're pushing it but if BFP in May then I'd still be giving birth in the Winter....Go Boy!
Fertility Monitoring: I have not done BBT since I didn't expect to wait this long to ttc (thanks AF changing on me and wisdom teeth) :) I have been using the Fertile Focus daily and watching my CM.
PH: Checked using digital PH tester (We were both low but I didn't write it down and forgot). I need to still raise my PH and hoping on the URAL.
2 Weeks Before:
Wash eggs and put in refrigerator
AF-O: URAL
5 days before O: Mucinex Tablets (Is it 1 tablet per day since they are 600mg tablets?)
1 Hour Before BD: DH consume high caffeine drink and DW use BS Douche
DTD time:
Hopefully abstain as close to 4 days as possible
If I understand everything correctly for TTC Boy, I would need to BD when the Fertility Focus is showing full fernning (indicating O) and CM is:
more abundant,
clearer,
more elastic (stretchy),
less cellular,
more watery (less thick),
higher in pH, and
composed of strands that are aligned to allow greater sperm penetration
We plan on using the egg whites from my friends backyard chickens (PH almost 9 w/ never being refrigerated) set out 1 hour prior to BD.
My husband has agreed to putting ice on the boys and he wears boxers and loose jeans (is it better to do this for several days before).
Hope for the Big "O" right after hubby and maybe even try the 3 Big "O"'s as much as possible the week or couple days before to raise PH
Position: Doggy style or DW on top
After Big O's insert Instead cup and hold still w/ laptop for the ions
Am I missing anything?
