SAUNA + ABSTINENCE + 1 ATTEMPT: ANY THOUGHTS

[miniña]

Hi ladies,

After a BFN i am thinking this is going to be my strategy for my next attempt. Since I will be O around Xmas time Im afraid i wont be able to follow the diet very striclty (although I will try my best) so I will have to be rely on other methods. Me and DH will be going to Sweden for 10 days and will be using the sauna daily, so I thought it might be good to try 10 days of high heat and abstinence followed by 1 attempt at OPK+? What do you think? would any little sperms be able to survive this??

There's no way to know without trying it!!

This is obviously not the kind of thing I can point to 100 people having done this.

I would personally drop the abstain and then have him release every 2-4 days to be sure sperm is healthy with the sauna-ing.

Thatts a good point Atomic should do that.

Also I was wondering after some research I actually dont have PCOS but PCO! I thought it was the same but just realized is not. With that in mind should I still follow the special PCOS diet or am i ok with the normal LE? And are people with PCO also inclined to have more boys, or since there is no hormonal imbalance in people with PCO but only multiple cysts then not?

They're really kinda the same thing. PCO is just an early form of the syndrome and if you were to not eat right, exercise, and gain weight you would end up with the syndrome.

YES, I want everyone with any tendencies towards PCO (whether it's full blown or not) to do the alternate diet. If you have tendencies towards it, and you start eating tons of empty carbs, you'll end up making yourself get the syndrome!
