Starting our sway

After reading so, so much about swaying, I am a boy mom. I prefer a meat and potato diet. I conceived both my boys strength training. I am extremely competitive. Boy and boy. We are not ready for a pregnancy until December, but things take forever for us due to recurrent losses. So, here is what we are starting Monday. I would appreciate any and all input.

Diet - LE meets teenage Vegetarian - I can go vegan about 80% and le the other 20. I bought some different vegan freezer meals because in my head they are less nutritious than making my own food because I do prefer healthy low carb meals - this is going to be my biggest challenge. But I need this to be as relaxed as possible so I don't tap out or get spooled up. I am not going to count calories.

Intermittent fasting - I am intermittent fasting so two meals a day. How am I going to get over 2k calories in two meals? I know I won't without cheese and creamy meals!

Cardio - one hour Monday through Saturday. Looking forward to this!

After every cycle/period, I will weigh myself to make sure I am not gaining. IF I do, I will adjust the course.

Attempts - every four days because counting days stresses me out and my two successful pregnancies were surprise babies. Every four days covers all the bases

Baby aspirin - to preserve pregnancy
Folic acid
Fiber capsules
Cranberry

We will try this way for 17 months Aug 19-Dec 20. Once we hit that point, we will drop swaying and see where God takes us!

First things first, PLEASE do not try for 17 months without changing anything up and then drop swaying totally! We have ways to boost odds of conception over the course of time so please don't hesitate to get in touch with me over time to gradually change the sway to up chances of conception if need be. Hopefully we won't need to do that but I hate to see anyone think "I'll sway THIS way and then drop everything" when really there's a whole lot of wiggle room in the middle.

My concern is that without tracking you may end up not getting ENOUGH. The reason I have you guys track is less for the sway and more to be sure you're getting enough protein, fat, and cals. Even if you only tracked for a week or two you'd at the least know you were getting enough. The protein and fat minimums are quite important to health and ability to conceive so please be sure you're getting 40-50 g protein and 30-60 g fat and this is NOT counting protein and fat in fruits and veg.

Both two and three meals are equally allowed on LE so if you can't manage on two, go to three. You can still push back breakfast doing three meals.

Please be very cautious that you do not drop below BMI 18.5 under any circumstances. At BMI 21 please put on the brakes and try to hold steady (this gives you a margin of safety to protect ovulation)

Are you doing e4d in the 72 hour or 96 hour pattern?

Do not take both aspirin and cranberry. I do not ever recommend cranberry anyway as it doesn't work, may cause miscarriage, and has caused tons of side effects for us. Taking them both together will thin your blood way too much and may cause you serious, even life-threatening side effects. Since you need the aspirin for your recurrent losses just ditch the cran(or you can give it to your husband if you must keep it in the mix.)

Since you ahve a history of recurrent losses I strongly strongly recommend folate instead of folic acid. 1200-1600 mcg (that is MICROgrams not MILLIgrams) daily, continue this all thru the first trimester of pregnancy and then gradually wean off by spacing doses further and further out till down to one per week, then you can drop them.
