Also given my BMI around 19 (I put on 1 kilo in the past week) should I still exercise 60 minutes 6-7 times a week?

I don't think coq10 actually does anything. I give it to people to help them feel like they're doing something, but I truly think that most losses are just bad luck and no supplements we take really "improve egg quality". But I'm fine with you taking it, 200-400 mg daily started right away and continued till BFP at which point you should wean off.

I would have you eat more and do exercise. Exercise has been such a great strategy for us I hate to see anyone skip it unless they really can't. let's do 4 days a week instead.

Can you please give me some rough guidelines. Would that be ok?
Toast with vegemite/jam plus full fat yogurt (breakfast)
2 servings of salmon/beef a week
Potato/white rice
At least 6 eggs
Salads, fruit but no juices
Vegetable soups
Am I ok to have chicken in addition to salmon/beef? How many times a week?
I assume no more fiber for me?

1800-2000 cals
50-60 g protein and fat
you can have chicken to get more protein if you need it, but it doesn't seem to help restore ovulation. Focus on salmon/red meat for restoring ovulation. Many times people think "but salmon/red meat will hurt my sway, I'll eat chicken instead" but the chicken doesn't help in the same way.
do you have totals on the diet stuff?

I never really counted calories tbh as I didn’t want to obsess over diet in a typical blue mum way. I might try to calculate!
What do you think of the theory that most women ovulate from left side then the month after from right side? I was told I ovulated from left ovary when I conceived in January so most likely will ovulate from my right ovary next time (which statistically gives more boys). Not sure how true it is though?!

WE have a lot of wiggle room between tracking the necessary diet macros and obsessing. I have you track that stuff because we need to be sure you're getting enough nutrients so if you would be so kind as to add up a standard day I can tell you what if anything you need to track.
The "alternating ovary" theory is 1000% debunked. The people who say that ovaries alternate sides are charlatans who are trying to cheat people. I have seen 2 dozen women TTC in the month they were supposed to (according to the charlatans) who got opposites. Studies have proven that most women ovulate from the right side most of the time due to more blood flow and thus more hormones going to the right ovary, aiding in the development of the egg. Left sided ovulations are much less common, often happening in people with reduced fertility for some reason we don't entirely understand - when condition declines, it is believed we more often ovulate from the left side. Ovulation does not alternate sides.
BTW, right sided O is not proven to make more boys. IN the only study done which I trust, researchers found only in 3 month patterns was there any correlation, and only in women ovulating L, L, R (WITHOUT A LOSS IN BETWEEN) had 75% boys. Still plenty of girls conceived, and these were obviously in people who were not swaying. Long story short, none of this matters so please don't worry about.

Ok so yesterday I had
Toast with yogurt - calories 250, fat 9, protein 10
Steak melt subway - calories 800, fat 30, protein 40
Pea and carrot soup - calories 200, fat 3, protein 6
Pistachio 50 grams- calories 300, fat 22, protein 10
Apple - calories 50
Carrot - 40 calories
Wine - 200 calories
Total calories - 1850, fat 65, protein 66
This was unusually big lunch for me, usually I’d eat half of that and have bigger dinner but nutrition wise it’s about the same.
Am I ok to eat pistachios or too much fat/nutrition?

That's all fine with me. The pistachios are ok within limits.

TTC pink after 2 boys
Question- on CD15 I had EWCM and at 10pm my digital OPK turned positive (solid smiley face) though the line wasn’t as dark as the control line (does it matter at all?). So we had an attempt that night. On CD16 and CD17 (today) I still had the solid smiley and the test line just as dark as the control line in the morning but my cervical mucus turned white creamy (sorry TMI) on CD17 and OPK turned negative at 7pm on CD17. I’m super keen to get pregnant quickly after my miscarriage so I’m contemplating another attempt tomorrow (on CD18) or day after (CD19) in case I have delayed ovulation. Or do you think I already ovulated?

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
