Hi everyone, Im going to start the diet and supps this weekend so need some help please.
I have 2 boys who are amazing and I wouldnt mind another one of them, they are 3 and 1 and I think I ate a boy friendly diet and naturally would produce boys as I have PCOS so hormones arent great!
I was going to wait till March to ttc but as long as OH is on board we may actually start sooner so end of Dec. but will do the diets and supps as best as we can from now onwards, then see how we feel we have done at ovulation and decided if it was good enough to do the attempt and be happy with it.
Im going to base most of my sway on the IG principles, but also tie in the fact of trying not to obsess which means OH doesnt have to be as strict on the diet so may just try to get him to eat the IG diet plan but add in some ideas from the low everything plan.
As for supps, after reading ideas on here I think I will just stick with vitamin b6 as my luteal phase is short but could be because Ive just finnished breastfeeding but thought its def. worth trying. Im not going to do cranberry supps or drinks as I do think the less nutrients the better. So will do baby asprin and also folic asprin.
Do you think there is anything else to take?
My main problem is stress so anything to really lower testosterone would be the biggest thing for my sway. Hopefully the diet will do that.
What do you think OH should take? Should he just take minimal supps? What was it that decreases sperm count or lowers testosterone? Cant remember what that was now?
One last thing - what do you think the best thing to do is, to counteract ttc in the worst season? I have an ion bracelet on as much as possible, ion hair dryer - what are the best things to do to give me the best chance of this not working against me? This is what is putting me off trying in December so my biggest concern!
Really appreciate any tips (Im UK based by the way)
