TTC BLUE in October?

What is everyone doing so far now that its august? Hope you all are well. I am just itching to start trying this month. I should get af anyday now. I havent been eating too well though but i am taking supplements. My cousin came to visit this weekend and hinted that she was going to start ttc. I really dont want to be pregnant at the same time and I am just picturing her ending up with a boy and myself having a girl. Of course id be happy but id also be disappointed for a while. Any advice? I am driving myself crazy lol

For the last 4 weeks I have done a fish oil supp, folic acid supp, & a raw vitamin drink. I also drink lemon water, eat meat daily, upped my protein intake dramatically (gained 6 lbs so far) eat a huge breakfast, and a night time snack, I also lift weights 3-4 times a week. We started BD every 3 days now to increase sperm. I plan to use preseed when we TTC which will be in the first week of September :)

I also drink coconut water, orange juice, green tea, & V8 daily. I HATE the v8 lol

Rubygem, if you plan to try this month, try to increase calories a lot. I read somewhere that the day you conceive you should have a LOT of calories consumed..helps sway boy. I plan to eat like it's thanksgiving the week we TTC lol with healthy foods obviously!

Thanks for the advice. The HE diet is a lot more food than im used to so im having trouble keeping up with it. If I do try this month ill just have to be sure to eat a lot like you said week of ovulation and use preseed. Ill try to hold off till september though lol. Best of luck to you midwest!

Grrrrr stupid charting!!! FF has put ovulation at CD 15 due to my temps. I guess we will see around the 17th. That's when Af will be due if O occurred on the 15th. I guess I will have to start taking my OPK's from CD12 now. Argh, that will use up the OPK's quickly :(

I am on a multitude of vitamins :( Fish oil, Co Q10, Elevit, Folic acid, Calcium with vitamin D, Brewers Yeast and Probiotics and chia seeds (omega 3) every time I have cereal/porridge. Around O time I take Robitussin and Wheatgrass tablets and use Preseed.

I drink Coconut water, V8 vegetable juice, V8 fusion juice, Grape juice and pineapple juice. I also drink lemon green tea (hot) and a squirt of lemon juice in water. I am trying to have a few eggs every couple of days. It's best not to ever feel hungry. I try to have protein and carbs at every meal. I really need to knuckle down now though. If I did ovulate early, I have less time to prepare my body for our attempt.

Now that I have to get stuck into the diet, this is what I will try to stick to.

Porridge or cereal for breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, Dinner and a bowl of cereal before bed.
I will try to have more eggs, almonds and fruit and vege. 1-2 cans of coconut water around the week of ovulation.

That's all I can think of right now.

It is hard eating this much! I agree. I am so ready to just get pregnant & go back to eating my normal foods & amounts. I try to eat eggs every few days too, but I do plan to bump it up & eat them daily.. I just never feel hungry. DH is all about the diet though & encourages me to eat so that helps.

Jeez, I will feel so devastated having another girl after doing this diet!

Wow, you're doing a lot! I am slacking and I need to start doing the diet properly. I am also afraid though that I if I take too many supplements and change my diet too much it will mess my body up and possibly sway pink! So im trying to do a light he diet with only the most important supps lol.. ugh its so frustrating I just cant wait until im pregnant. Then I will hopefully just accept whatever gender he/she is! Good luck to you!!

It seems that we are all doing around the same thing. I have to say, I feel quite chubby!! LOL! Boysway, did you buy a plan?

Jana, Yes, I bought a plan :)
I'm the heaviest I've ever been :( I should also be exercising but it's so difficult when I do nightshift all the time. I added the brewers yeast a few months ago and it did mess things up for me for one cycle. With the exception of this cycle it's been good.

A little tip with the V8 juice. I struggle with it as well. I found it easier to drink if I put ice ****s in it.
