TTC Pink starting April 2018 :)
Hello all!
So, I've posted here before, early last year, when I initially started swaying but was forced to postpone. After having my thyroid removed last June and getting that regulated, I am now ready to start my sway again and begin ttc in April. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] Seriously y'all I am excited and hopeful.
I have two boys now (3 and 2), who are total mommy's boys and basically my whole world. I have always wanted a daughter and really want my husband to have a daddy's girl as well. This will have to be our last baby unfortunately (I would seriously have 6 if possible) due to a enterocele/rectocele. [emoji20] Also, my DH would die lol. So! Here is my planned sway:
DH: 27
DW: 26
Beginning Jan 21, 2018 and ttc in April 2018.
Exercise: 60 min cardio 4-5 x a week starting Feb 5 after a healed sprained ankle. --this will be the hardest for me actually. Hoping I don't fall into mod exercise and sway blue [emoji22]
Diet: LE starting at 1700 calories. Replace breakfast with coffee (latte or with small amount of creamer). Fasting from dinner around 5-6 PM to my coffee breakfast at 8-9 AM. Drinking Coke Zero (I'm aware aspartame isn't really swaying pink, this is just my low cal option and a way to not snack between meals.) Alcohol 2-3x a week. (New for me!)
--I was a definite grazer/snacker with my boys. I'm keeping strictly to 2/3 meals a day with NO snacking.--
Protein around 50g, Fat around 50g. For the most part I am trying to not obsess and so are keeping within limits without being a control freak. I do have 30+ lbs to lose but really have no signs of PCOS or IR and the reg LE diet is actually easier for me to follow. If this is a big no-no please let me know.
Supplements/Meds: On Levothyroxine and Cytomel and Lexapro currently, all of which I'm thinking/hoping/praying sway even a little pink. No vitamins! ( Got pregnant on Vit D with DS1 and prenatal with DS2). Other than 2000 mcg folic acid. Have obtained Femara from a TTC friend who got pregnant and will be doing 2.5 mg on CD 3-7 in April for general egg quality and because I do not have a long time to get pregnant. Also...it sways pink. ;)
Timing/Frequency: shooting for one attempt at pos opk with no o for DW. If this doesn't work in April I will move up to e3d/e4d.
DH: reg meat and potatoes diet. Drinking diet pop and trying to lose weight a little. Boxer briefs. Dips tobacco, occasional smoker. Coffee every day now. Occasional alcohol.
No supps. No exercise (unless he picks it up).
Odd note: since my boys births my periods have changed, usually coming in the afternoon/evening rather than morning/late late night. I'm hopeful this is a sign of changing hormones!
I feel like this is a light sway (other than the Femara) but I am more afraid of my control freak, competitive side emerging. If anyone has advice or changes I should make please feel free to comment! Lots of babydust to everyone! [emoji173][emoji173]
Edited to add: started coffee 2-3 cups per day as well.
