Hello all! I have been a member at this site for a few years, and used the info here to TTC my baby girl. :baby2: I did a loose sway and we got our baby girl! I am so thankful that I found this site, as I do feel my sway helped, and I have recommended it to many friends and friends of friends. Atomic, thank you for everything you do!
Well, baby girl is now a year old, and DH and I want to try to give her a little sister (this would be our last). DH has a 15-year-old son from a previous marriage, and we have two little boys as well. Things I did during my last sway: drank Crystal Light like it was going out of style, took Vitex AF-O each month, had just come off of BCP (mini-pill, progestin-only), was losing some weight, took baby aspirin, avoided beef and most meat, really. We did FR and DTD probably 7-8 days in a row when baby girl was conceived. I had a positive OPK for three days that cycle. Apparently she was a good egg. ;) We are also (a bit) older; DH was 35 during our sway and I was 31. Now we are 37 and 33. DH is also on propecia, and was when we conceived our girl (not when we had our boys), and I have a belief that may have helped with the sway as well. We TTCed for three months and she was conceived on the third cycle.
Right now I have been on the mini-pill for about six months. I have been losing weight -- 25 lbs since the end of July. I'm 5'3" or so and about 122 lbs. I've done this watching my calories, and exercising (elliptical) about 45 minutes 5-6 days a week. I stay around 1200 calories. Most days I do eat breakfast.
I am going to stop eating breakfast, and continue to watch my calories. I'll stop eating meat also. Most days I do have a veggie sub from Subway, with cheese -- I get all the veggies, on wheat bread -- is that OK to continue or is that too nutritious? Should I try to lower my calories more or just keep doing what I've been doing? How should I start Vitex? Since I am on the pill, I don't really know when or if I ovulate. Any ideas? Any other new tips/sway methods? We will be doing FR again, and I am not interested in the "weirder" sway methods like lime juice, lube etc. I actually did try using lime juice one month when we were TTC, nothing happened and I think I probably just killed all of the sperm, and then second month we used Sylk, and I got a horrible UTI, first I ever had. Third month we didn't do any of that and that was when we actually conceived.
Once I cut out breakfast and meat, and start Vitex/baby aspirin, how long should I wait before TTC?
Thanks in advance for any tips... looking forward to getting started again!
