I posted a sway a few months ago and it's almost unrecognisable from what I'm now planning :cool: I O'd a week ago so we'll be starting our frequent BDing in around 12 days *gulp* and I want to make sure I have everything covered, so I'd appreciate any advice!
Diet - LE diet, I've lost whatever it says in my ticker! I may not be at my lowest ever adult weight but I won't be far off and I'm pretty sure I'll be at my lowest ever pre-conception weight and I'm still losing which I think is a good thing too.
Supplements - Folic 800mg, Saw Palmetto - I'll have been taking 320mg a day for around 10 weeks by the time I O, will switch to AF-O once we start trying. Vitex - I took 1000mg a day AF-O for 2 cycles and will have been taking it every day for 6 weeks by the time I O, will also switch to AF-O. Baby Aspirin - I take this 3 times a week and will take each day we DTD. Antihistimine starting on around cd9 when I usually get a gush of EWCM.
DH - No supplements yet but I'll give him a baby aspirin when I take mine once we start trying and a licorice root every night we DTD (just one, want him to be able to perform!). He's put on a little weight because I've stopped cooking us the lovely nutritious meals we used to have - he's not impressed but I've begged him not to lose it yet!!
The nitty gritty - We'll do frequent BDing. I've been to-ing and fro-ing the past couple of days regarding what to do re spermicidal condoms/Rephresh/DTD protected/unprotected and I'm wondering about this for a plan:
-Start DTD cd5.
-DTD 7 days in a row with a spermicide condom, bung in an applicator of Rephresh after the 7th night.
-DTD unprotected until (and including) the day I get a +OPK. Last month this would have meant 3 attempts, the month before it would have been 1. I hope my cycles don't suddenly get shorter but I *should* know if that's going to happen because I get a gush of EWCM 3 or 4 days beforehand and lots of abdominal cramps.
-Continue to use Rephresh every couple of days. I'll use it in the afternoon when I take my OPK so I can make sure I don't use it on the day of our final attempt.
-Hot bath/shower for DH before each attempt. Possibly a glass of wine too for acidity!
-Acijel an hour before and a JAD after for me (especially as we'll likely DTD more than once).
-Shallow release - DH apparently has a plan for this :rolleyes:
Thank you!
