TTC Girl May 2017

[Believeandhope]

Hi Everyone,

I read so much on here and I'm a bit overwhelm with all the info. So give me a heads up if what I sums up here is a rough laid out for TTC a girl. we are TTC for a girl sometimes May 2017. I have 2 beautiful boys and this is our last chance to TTC a girl.

1. Start LE diet early next year or can I slowly change my diet. but I have started drinking coffee with equal and I'm slowly cutting back my teas I am not a wine drinker nor any other form of alcohol will this be a down side for me?
2. I have stop my multivitamin. I never fail to eat breakfast but I'm trying to try to skip breakfast slowly now so I don't go cold turkey on the breakfast lol
3. I have read some of the thread of not taking any supplement when trying for a girl. when do I need to start taking folic acid?
4. I usually do HIIT exercise so do I have to swap that for just cardio?

This is what I can think of for now. TIA

Hi and welcome!

I think you've got a handle on it!! I prefer you guys easing into it (and weaning off multivitamin instead of stopping suddenly) too.

I like everyone to start taking folic acid ASAP. Like right away. That way if you have an "oopsie", you will have the folic acid to prevent possible neural tube defects.

Exercise and diet tend to work together, so if you're good on diet and losing at least a bit of weight you may be able to get away with continuing your HIIT. Now personally I think that best chances come from cardio only (or mostly) but at the same time you are used to it and so I don't think it sways as hard as it would for someone who's just started it, and the mental benefit is huge as well.
