Hi Ladies,
Can you look at my sway and let me know what you think. I have two wonderful sons, but DH and I desperately want a daughter to complete our family :DD:
We plan to start TTC in August. July will be a "test" month for the repHresh or AciJel (which should I do, LOL?)
DW Age: 33, DH Age: 34
Diet plan? I am going to restrict red meat, potatoes, and bananas. I will cut back on high-nutrient foods, but I don't know if I can commit to “low everything”. I will eat more skim dairy and low-acidic vegetables.
With my previous pregnancies, I ate a lot of protein when I conceived, and was always on a multivitamin. I will reduce protein this time around, and I am not taking multivitamins.
Did you skip breakfast regularly? Yes
Did DH change his diet with you? No
Alcohol? Maybe a little wine a couple times a week.
Caffeine? Max of one cup of coffee a day
WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O? BMI of around 20/21
When I conceived DS2, I was categorized as 'underweight' by my midwife because I was a long-distance runner.
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments? I will stick to cardio and try not to build muscle mass.
THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
BD Dates according to Ovulation
I was planning to do the cutoff method, but decided to DTD frequently throughout my cycle. I know for a fact that DS2 was conceived on O day.
Potions: I cannot decide between RepHresh or AciJel to regulate pH. I would like to avoid douching or lime tampons if possible.
THE DEED INFO
BD Position: Missionary
Did you Jump and Dump? Planning to
SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements –
I plan to take the following supplements from AF-O:
Calcium/Magnesium combo
Cranberry or baby Aspirin (what are thoughts here?)
Peppermint tea
I will take these my entire cycle:
Spironolactone (which lowers T, can raise potassium)– I am on this for hairloss. My midwife and dermatologist told me it is safe to continue until I get the BFP. I will confirm with a pharmacist prior to TTC. I will drink lots of water (and Crystal Light) to combat the potassium rise.
Ions?
I have a negative ion bracelet that I wear constantly. Also have a rock salt lamp next to my bed. We leave our windows open and have a nice breeze. Our bathroom opens into the master, so it is possible that moisture from the shower ends up in the bedroom. I also use lavender spray and lotions.
Old Wives Tales?
Spoon under the mattress, baby girl outfit under mattress
Things that make me feel great about my*sway: The spironolactone (to reduce T) and repHresh (or AciJel).
Things that make me nervous about my*sway: #3 is it for us and we really want a girl! I am most nervous about not doing the diet 100%.
What changes should I make? Comments? :)
