Hi ladies,
I'm new here and found this site because I have 3 wonderful boys and now going to try for a girl for our last baby. I have been reading a ton of the info on this site. I started changing my diet a month ago and have been doing everything opposite to what I normally do. I am normally very active and exercise a ton. I am gluten and dairy free due to allergies and eat organic. I stopped working out 6 weeks ago, other then walking once or twice a week and have let myself go soft. For the last 2 weeks I have cut back on calories even more to about 1200 a day. We are planning to try this cycle. I am currently on my period and tend to ovulate around day 15-16. I have been taking cranberry for the last month and have my husband eating a ton of dried cranberries. For these last 2 weeks I've decided to cut further back on calories and trying to be unhealthy for me which is hard not being able to eat gluten so I'm eating gluten free toast with brown sugar and cinnamon on it. I've cut out all meat for these last 2 weeks and working on tricking my body to times being hard. I think I've managed to lower my testosterone as I have noticed my libido has gone down, I'm breaking out when I never do, and I've gotten migraines at the start of this cycle and last cycle.
Any other suggestions I am all ears. I know the key is doing things differently to what my body is used to and I think I'm covering that. I am thinking we will do frequent bedding after DH takes a hot shower and then jump and dump up until the day before O.
I welcome any thoughts or suggestions from you ladies who have been through it!
Thanks so much for this insightful website
