Newbie and super confused!
I have been researching endlessly all summer, and every time I think I have it figured out, I find something that tells me complete opposite of what I thought. I am TTC our little girl to complete the family. I have 2 boys now and we are all ready for a little girl in the house. Few questions for anyone who might be able to help:
1. I tried all summer to do the LE diet, but actually ended up gaining weight because my body does not respond to carbs (trying to the low nutrient thing) and I have a very physical job and lose weight when I actually increase my calorie intake plus my job doesn't allow me to sit down and eat meals theoughout the day, and night time is a joke because I'm trying to get everyone else to eat before myself. I know weight loss is a big thumbs up for girls, but I literally can't lose weight unless I start changing this way of eating. The crystal light/Diet Coke is killing my stomach, giving me head she's, and bloating me like crazy. What do I do?!
2. Supplements - I have been reading a million mixed reviews. Is it worth it and what should I and my DH be taking?
3. Timing - this is the most mind blowing to me! Do we just do one shot of DTD or should we be doing more? It seems from people I talk to that abstinence and 1 attempt yields more girls, but is this actually true? My husband and I are 30. We had trouble conceiving DS1, mostly because I got very confused with timing and I think we were DTD 1-2x a day for 2-3 weeks at a time 😬 DS2 came as soon as we began trying.
I appreciate it any input anyone may have. This is our last baby, and I just want to say I gave it my all no matter what happens!
