frequency of BD for pink and blue

[Joyjoy88]

Just let me know if I can help in the meanwhile, Joy.

Thanks Atomic.

I finally got hold of the multivitamins(women's a day and men 50+) that you have previously recommended for both myself and my hubby.

So I guess i continue taking the rest per usual? fish oil(alternate day), vit D, Calcium, Folic Acid, Vit C, Probiotics?

You probably won't need the Vit. D, calcium, Vit C beccause the multivitamins have the same amount in them - just change one for the other, unless what you're presently taking is a much higher dose, in that case gradually wean off of the higher dose onto the lower dose.

Good people, any help here am trying to understand which way exactly that I should do to sway pink, DH is far away, my AF starts today can't ask him to release on his own, so apparently he is abstaining til end of my AF, but want to understand how to combine abstinence and compressed frequent release, maybe it has been explained earlier but am not getting it, can you help me out, DH is 37 so abstinence is not recommended but to ask him to release thats a no go

Don't do compressed frequent release with abstinence! All you'll do is undo the good of the abstain!

Yes, abstain isn't recommended for men over 35 but this is an unusual situation. Since he has to abstain anyway, let's use it as our sway tactic instead of then adding another sway tactic (that will either cut odds of concepiton OR undo the good of the abstain for your sway). The risks of abstain are small, but I just think since abstain doesn't work anyway, why not just skip it as a recommendation for many people to try - but that does not mean that I then think that abstain is going to harm babies. It just seems like a sensible precaution to avoid for those who can. But you can't avoid it, and should just do the abstain + one attempt at positive OPK.

Thanks Atomic for responding, I jus need one attempt, my AF usually 3 days and 2 days spotting, have been taking cinnamon so my Ovulation day have been pushed to day 15 this month, had 26 days but usually had 25 day, so now don't know when I expect ovulation, its been changing, its like m irregular , I have been tracking my calories but for a day they are not reaching 800 calories, I am like someone who fears to eat now, fearing to gain weight

I'm sorry, but that is all completely unacceptible. That is not LE Diet, that is starvation, and I am afraid you're getting an eating disorder.

NO ONE who does not have moderate to severe PCOS and lots of weight to spare should be taking cinnamon. Stop cinnamon immediately.

The absolute barest minimum for LE Diet is 1200 calories. I would rather see you at 1500-1800. If you can't get up to at minimum 1200 and better more like 1500-1800, you need to go off the diet NOW NOW NOW and go vegetarian. If you find you can't do that, you need to get help because I am really really worried about you. YOu cannot get and stay pregnant at 800 calories a day and if you are finding you're actually scared to eat and unable to get more calories then we need a professional's intervention here.

Thanks Atomic, I will add more vegetables and stop cinnamon right away, and thanks a lot, am fasting for 10 days as per our religion so I know its gonna be difficult to reach 1200 calories per day but I will try hard,

Vegetables are free and unlimited, you can have as much as you want, no need to count them. You need to get the 1200 cals from other things besides vegetables.

For now during the fast you need to do what you need to do, but once the fast is over please try to normalize your diet as much as you can. I am really worried aboutyou!
