Ttc boy jan/feb prep rating?
Hi ladies and atomic! Super excited to begin swaying. Excuse the long post. I’m planning to ttc late jan/early feb and thought I’d begin the process.
Supplements:
Daily.
-Fish oil 210mg
-Ginseng 500mg
-Multivitamins (Zn 10mcg, vit D 400 IU, folic acid 200mcg, selenium 32mcg etc)
Plan to stock up on.
-Vit D tabs for DH and myself. Finished one that was combined with calcium.
-EPO (never used)
-Folic acid? I think I’ll get the folate ones.
Tracking.
- BBT (thermometer just arrived)
- opk (got 10 cheap tests with thermometer planning on ordering more cheap ones and clear blue for actual ttc month (purple?blue?pink? Help)
*going to be my first month tracking [emoji33][emoji16]
Diet:
Morning.
-Celery green juice OR lemon-ginger-turmeric-honey tea)
- Porridge with dates cinnamon OR Muesli (fruit n nut) OR avocado baked beans toast. 1/2-3/4 cup full fat milk with each option
Snack
-Cucumber mint juice OR lemon lime juice
- Nuts (some salted)
Lunch
- blue berry-wheat grass-spirulina-banana-orange-coriander-maca powder smoothie.
- a fruity eg half a melon or papaya or apple etc
Early supper
- high protein (meat/fish/quinoa/lentils)
-high veges
-Sweet potato/potato/sometimes rice or pasta but rarely these days.
Snack
- something sweet (carbs)
- ginger-thyme-lemon-fennel seed tea
Misc:
-Use sea salt to cook and try to generously season food with it to get a good amount of sodium.
-Even though winter- expose myself to sunshine every moment I can.
-Sleeping well lately. Used to be insomniac when I was ttc DD.
Exercise:
-None yet. Not really active but want to begin light lifting weights today especially with recent muscle wasting I noticed.
I’m fully committed and invested in this. If I end up ttc a girl then no harm done! If anything mummy will be healthier albeit heavier. [emoji6]
Anything I missed? Tips? Corrections?
Oh and planning to temp vaginally, what should I clean thermometer with? Any rules?
