Welcome dearspencer! This is the best forum there is out there with the best advice and truly wonderful members from all over the world.

Are you trying to conceive (TTC) naturally? If so check out the TTC Girl forum where you will find LOADS of advice on everything from diet, timing, supplements, exercise and the list goes on. You will need a few hours of quiet reading time in the beginning :-) If you check out Atomic Sagebrush's posts and go to the link in her signature there you will find your answers to everything, Atomic is THE GURU!

And most importantly - good luck :-))

Hi and welcome, in the link in my signature below, you'll find the Complete Index which is all the threads in alphabetical order and there is all the information in there that you'll need to know.

Thank you!!! Yes, all natural here =) I am from Sydney, I just saw you're in Melbourne!

[dearspencer]

Can I private message you atomic sagebrush!? I am so nervous that I won't be doing enough to get our girl...seems silly I know!! I have about 4 weeks to prepare for this pink bundle before we try!!! x

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes of course! You will get faster response most of the time here in the forums, though. Since the forum posts benefit everyone, I try to answer those more quickly than I do PMs which are only for one person's eyes, if that makes any sense.

Thank you at atomic sagebrush. I am a little overwhelmed at the long list of things to sway girl. If you had to pick 5 things that would be most beneficial what would you pick? keeping in mind. I am already taking mag/cal tablets, zyrtec, drinking peppermint tea and not having intercourse on ovulation days!! =) Thank you SO much x

[atomic sagebrush]

Um...none of those things LOL

Here are the things that have worked the best for us.

LE Diet for longer than 12 weeks
Cardio exercise for 60 min. a day, 6-7 days a week
Husband taking OLE and LR
Clomid or Femara if you can get it
Sticking to one attempt REGARDLESS of the cycle day you have sex. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html

[dearspencer]

oh dear! I am completely on the wrong track. I have access to clomid. Do you take it everyday? Also what is OLE and LR? Sorry I am in Australia and not up with the lingo. Also LE diet?? Thank you. I REALLY do appreciate your advice. I don't do cardio but my husband does ( he is a commando in the Australian defence force) he was not in this 3 years ago when we conceived our son. He is now exceptionally fit.
With thanks, Kim

Clomid - you'd just take it in the 5 day pattern that everyone takes it, only in the month you are TTC.

OLE is Olive Leaf Extract
LR is licorice root

LE Diet short version is here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...l-version.html

Husband doing intense cardio is one thing that has been shown in studies to sway pink so that is great news!

Since he is required to be quite physically fit I would leave out the licorice root as it may decrease his physical fitness level.
