Thoughts or suggestions on my girl sway plan? :DD::DD::DD::DD:
Me: 30
DH: 31 (previously diagnosed with low T. He was on clomid for it for a while, but had to go off of it due to liver function issues. His T is usually in the 300-400 range.)
Diet & Exercise:
I've been on a keto type diet (low carb, high fat, high protein) for 10 weeks. My plan is to continue it and start TTC in January once I hit 21 weeks on the diet. It is 1000-1300 calories a day. The percentage of protein and fat is high, but the overall grams is more on target with what is suggested for a girl sway. I have lost 25 pounds and have 20 to go until my goal weight! I am on B12 and Lipoden injections which I will stop in January because I can't imagine they're good for TTC or pregnancy.
I will start skipping breakfast in December.
I drink lots of soda so caffeine and aspartame are good amounts.
I used to drink alcohol frequently but have lost a taste for it on this diet and it makes me feel like crap and then I usually start fights with DH for no reason - not exactly productive to TTC.
I can add in some cardio in December, but I don't have a ton of time for it. I generally never workout because I hate it, don't have time, and it stalls my weight loss. Is it that necessary?
Supplements:
Me:
Cranberry and aspirin
Vitex AF-O for irregular cycles after weaning from breastfeeding (I'm only on my second cycle since having him and my son is 18 months old!)
If my cycles don't regulate by December, I plan to try and get clomid. I was on it for two months before I conceived my son. I took a break the month he was conceived because I was so over TTC and boom, there he was. It'll be interesting to see if I can conceive while swaying, because apparently I'm the type who needs to "just relax" ha!
Considering Pregnitude after looking at the stats, but don't know much about it - would I start that now or wait until we're TTC in January?
I was taking a bunch of other supplements recommended on IG, but decided to forgo them to make myself more LE after doing some research in these forums.
DH:
Cranberry
Olive Leaf Extract
I read he doesn't need both, which is better? He should start that now, right?
He loves hot baths and I made him stop taking them last time we were TTC, this time I'm not going to make him stop unless we have a hard time conceiving after several months.
BD/Frequency/Timing/ETC:
Planning to use Sylk during BD
1 attempt & J&D (I am THRILLED at this sway method, because we were exhausting ourselves when trying to conceive my son.)
So Atomic recommended Abstain since my husband is under 35. How do we use the Abstain method if my cycles aren’t predictable? For example, my last cycle I didn’t ovulate until CD 41!
My last question is are there any female libido enhancers that sway pink or won't hurt a pink sway? I have never had good libido and normally alcohol helps but that's not healthy and I am not into drinking as much as I used to be.
TIA for any advice or encouragement!
