I wanted to start by thanking you for this wonderful site. I was on IG since 2007 joining in 2009 after first failed sway with ds2, I had my second failed sway for ds 3 in 2010. IG is good with MANY sweet girls, but this site has none of the snarky sarcasm that some of the posts had. I 'm not sure how I got the member name sis40 I was always livcamcars but happy to be here all the same.
On to my question. I have read all of the FAQ's. I just want to touch on the main points. It's tough after the IG "info" I took for so long. With all 4 of my children I had gestational diabetes and have never been above a weight of 120 not pregnant (5'7"). I know a lot (unfortunately) about blood sugars. The last two babies I was heavily insulin dependent. Both babies were under under 7lbs. I became very good, very quick, at knowing how to manipulate the insulin to eat the junk I was loving and missing. It seems the theory here is keeping blood sugars low. Due to everyday life of two teens and two babies my life is crazy so for the last few months I hardly eat. Today I'm 109. Skip breakfast, sometimes eat lunch but usually not, and then eat what I cook the kids for dinner but only half the portion(usually), we never have red meat except during the summer with lots of grilling. I'm willing to go down a few more pounds but isn't it fine to really just not eat much of
anything of nutritional value ( diet coke and a pop tart for example) with big times between eating
for a couple more weeks? Once I get my BFP I eat very well, I'm not negligent or dumb. After all
that, my real question is isn't it good enough to fool the body into the "lean time" thinking by eating little and empty ( unless I start to feel sick)?
Next point. It appears that using Rephresh will counter everything. So if I do Rephresh every 3 days but added Replens wouldn't it just adjust to a 4.5 because of the Rephresh? Why would I add
anything else? I'm 40 so swaying for a dd isn't easy due to time so I need to hit the most important things. I am on every supplement IG recommends but after reading all of this think I should drop a bunch of them. What do you think are most vital for me? I've been told aspirin and saw palmetto. Anything else before I drop the rest?
After IG I'm just confused. I really didn't do the strict eating with the last 2 boys so that may just be the trick. I want another daughter so badLy I can barely think of anything else. I have every lavender item out there, a waterfall next to bed, warm mist humidifier, rose quartz, neg ion bracelets and rock salt lamp. I feel crazy ( because my teens and dh say I am) but am doing as much as possible. We decided frequent release with bd through o and J&D with Rephresh. Dh is on licorice root and cran.
Please advise, am I way off? In full disclosure I'm coming off a chemical pregnancy but want to go right on trying this month. My age is depressing ( for fertility reasons) so I am staying on Wellbutrin with an occasional anti anxiety pill.
Thank you again for this supportive site. I really could use all of your guidance.
