So here is what I have been doing to past few weeks, eating a ton of dairy, taking daily calcium / mag supplements, cranberry pills, folic acid. Trying to limit salt and high potassium foods, no alcohol, no red meat. Trying to eat an "acid diet" and LE as best as possible. Skipping breakfast most mornings and have lost a few pounds.
My CM was a solid 4 when a first tested it after taking the cranberry for a couple of weeks. I tested DH's and it was a 9, GASP!! So I freaked out and used Replense the night before our first attempt which was yesterday afternoon. Then late (like midnight) I put another half a dose in because I started to get EWCM. 5am this morning I got a positive OPK, so we didn't DTD today bc I thought I would have a good 2-3 day cut off. But now I'm worried I won't get pregnant at all and I'm not so sure timinig matters, so should we DTD again tomorrow on O day? I just rechecked my CM PH and it's still a 4 and there is a little EWCM still. DH is drinking the crap out of crystal light and taking cranberry but it seems to have no effect on his PH. When we DTD yesterday we did it missionary style, no O for me, and I got up after 5 minutes, so a slow jump but no real dump. Using lavender lotion all the time, ion bracelet, lots of time outside. Doing my best....really really want a daughter. We have one amazing son, but my husband only wants 2 kids and despite how much he too wants a daughter, he isn't willing to go HT.
Thoughts? Should I DTD tomorrow on O day or try for 0+12? If I don't get pregnant this month should I ask my DR. for Clomid (I'm pretty sure he'd give it to me).
Thanks!!!!
