Short term diet and sway advice for a newbie
I知 hoping to get some guidance. My husband and I have been trying for a girl using the shettles method on and off for a little over a year now. Only reason I have been kind of stuck on this theory is because my daughter was conceived with trying 4 days before I ovulated due to having to travel for work and my son was conceived from trying one time when I got my positive surge. So I guess he could have gone either way regarding that theory.
We did get pregnant a few months ago by accident. I had had the flu and wanted to hold off for that cycle. The only time we had sex my husband pulled out. I unfortunately had a miscarriage and it took a long time for my HCG numbers to come down. Now my doctor would like to put me on Femara because my progesterone has been low and she doesn稚 think I have had a very strong ovulation since she had been monitoring me and would like to speed things along since I知 37.
I have to let go of this Shettles timing because I think it has really kept us from getting pregnant. So happy to see successful sways here having nothing to do with timing. Wish I had found you guys a long time ago. My question is that it looks like the best results with the LE diet require you to be on it for at least 12 weeks. I really don稚 have 12 weeks. My husband is almost over having a third at this point and I am really ready to be pregnant after all of this as well. But of course after all this time I would still LOVE to have a girl.
I exercise 4-5 times a week, may need to cut back on weights and stick more to cardio. Right now I have a balance between the two. I have a BMI of 20.33. I do eat chicken most days for lunch and dinner and sometimes eggs for breakfast so I知 guessing I would need to majorly cut back on protein to get to 40-50 grams of protein a day but I知 used to watching my calories. What does 40-50 grams of protein look like? I eat a lot of fruit mostly berries and some dairy. I知 also a regular coffee drinker and enjoy drinking socially. So at least I have that in my side:)
Any tips on how to get on the diet quickly and any chance it will even help? My period is due to come tomorrow so I will be starting the Femara very soon. I would be grateful for any guidance:)
