My Ovulation Chart
I was asking about potassium and trying to add more foods that contain it in my diet. I am not taking a supplement just doing the natural route and really cant stand the taste of coconut water. I have a couple months to get this thing right since we are trying to wait to TTC in November. Good luck to all you guys trying now and thanks for all the advice :-)
This is a dumb question: What is coconut water? Do you make it yourself or do you buy something? Small-town girl here.
You can buy coconut water! There are tons of brands, bit if you don't have any available, try Amazon!Quote:

I dislike coconuts so I'm not doing any coconut milk or water. Instead, DH is gobbling it up for me. :)
AF just came today so I'm in the game again for a third cycle. I will be adding guanafesin this month (I realized the Robitussin I bought wasn't quite right so I ordered guanefesin tablets), and DH agreed to try Preseed. I had bought the Preseed before but he was scared of it! He's never used lube before I guess...
Also adding CoQ10 this cycle. Maybe I'll drink the coconut milk/water this cycle too, hmmmm.
[QUOTE=Throwaway_panther;855443]Ugh, the DTD is always the one I grumble at. We regularly DTD, I always O, DH can go again within minutes usually, etc. I know I was so LE for everything else, but having such boy friendly sex and getting a girl makes me nervous to repeat it -- it's why I briefly thought before finding this site that Shettles was real! Hoping my diet will make that much of a difference.
Just think 'every other day' for the boy making BD pattern! Dont know if that helps..
Ive posted my BD pattern when ttc both my boys a few times on the forum so sorry for duplicating but for the benefit of what i mean by 'every other day'.. here it goes:
My 1st son and BFP - AF finished on CD5 and we BD on CD10 CD12 CD16 CD25
The month before that and BFN, AF finished on CD4 and we BD on CD9 CD15 CD16 CD17 CD18
The month before that and BFN and first month of TTC - AF finished on CD5 and we BD on CD6 CD10 CD12 CD14 CD17 CD20
For my 2nd son and BFP, Af finished on CD4 and we BD on CD7 CD10 CD12 CD14 CD18 CD20
(BFP first cycle)
So as you can see we seem to BD every other day rather than all the time or multiple times. Although, i see in our second month of trying for our first child we BD 15,16,17,18 - but BFN and i think i missed O anyway by not BD between CD9 and CD14 so doing it all those days in a row afterwards was probably just for fun now that i look back! Lol
Dont know if this sheds any light on the DTD part for you but thought it worth the mention xx
[QUOTE=squigglepink;856404]Oh, I'm not confused, but thank you! It's just a comfort thing for me -- I feel really good that my diet and exercise was so LE (with some other factors) that I could change, but our sex habits being the recommended boy way already sometimes makes me think, "Can we get a boy then?!" But I know it's more than BDing!Quote:

Throwaway - My DH would love it if i tried to beat him to the bedroom! :) We've never DTD loads.. 1x maybe 2x a week is what we do normally! xx
So AF came on Sep 8TH :(... Which means this cycle was 40 days long >.< I had solid smileys on CD 16/17 but obviously that can't be right. Frustrating. Maybe I am naturally a late O-er. I am currently considering waiting until next year because we're still nursing, my kids are so close in age, and I'm worried about fertility... ugh.
We haven't decided one way or another... still doing the diet/exercise and I just started a federal position at a hospital here, so, getting back into the swing of things. Ahhh.
Aww, I had been wondering how things were going with you! I'm sorry AF showed up. I don't think you could deduce you're naturally a late ovulater while still nursing though!Quote:

I don't mean to be away for long periods, but life usually just gets in the way, haha. Both my husband and I started working, on complete opposite shifts...so it gets alittle crazy around here. :) I guess I am taking an average of all my cycles, my cycle is normal at 32-34 days... With my son, 9-years-ago, they adjusted my dates back 2 weeks, so, I assumed I ovulated late then too... Actually, I even went to the Dr. for extreme fatigue and my pregnancy test was neg, blamed it on low iron. Went back a week later and it was +!Quote:

My whole life was 8 day heavy periods on 30 or so day cycles with awful PMS and crippling hormonal migraines, so I'm hoping these light short ones stay! It's why I was on BC with no periods for so long ;)Quote:

Welp I am now week 3 of boy diet and I started to do a 30 min weight training video last week and I gain 8 lbs!:suprise: Ugh So now I am trying to cut back, but I am having the hardest time getting enough protein. I pretty much eat a protein and veggie with every meal! How do you do it with out adding a ton of fat or calories??? Ugh I am so frustrated and I just got started!
Also to add that I know some of it is stress we just finished our house refinance and it was really stressful so I hope that hings get better now that we are back to normal and hopefully adjusted to the fall routine.
It's pretty much impossible to gain 8 lbs of fat (or muscle) that quickly. Most of it is likely water weight from your diet change and new exercise routine that will even out over the next several weeks. What do your meals look like though?Quote:

I am trying to tell my self its some water weight. Ugh. So most of my meals are like follows:Quote:

Lunches are left overs from dinner mostly: my most common meals are:
Pot roast with potatoes and carrots with a little Ranch
Taco salad ( chips meat on spring mix with cheese and sour cream)
Spaghetti (whole wheat) and meat balls
chicken quinoa chilli.
I normally try to eat more meat with some veggies for lunch and dinner, but sometimes we do pizza or cheeseburgers
Snacks are normally apples, kiwi now, trail mix yogurt with pretzels.
I am trying to measure out everything and keep my portions in check. Any advice or tweaking is appreciated :-)
I know on the main trying to conceive a boy there are a ton of sticky posts that help out line the diet and other swaying techniques so I would start there :-) I also know you can purchase a personalized plan as well. Good luck to you!Quote:

Yes re: probiotics. I have been taking them once a day for the past month or so and really like them! The ones I take are from the grocery store and say Acidophilus Probiotics on the label. Interested to see what others are taking.

Yup, atomic says probiotics for blue now! Acidopholius plus other strains. The best/most effective probiotics are always refrigerated.Quote:

Hello again everybody, just been flying through lately, DD1 broke her leg and Ive been trying to keep on top of the house and school this year, so far Im doing ok! My diet has almost fully switched to a nice blue sway atm, minus supplements, Im still not sure if I want another one but am on the blue side incase of another oopsy:)
Hows everyone doing? Bre was your s a definite bfp??!!
Bommy on the weight thing remember than muscle weighs heavier than fat so if your doing weights it could be nicely stored muscle weight:) HE is all about improving condition so more nutrients and muscle weight are a good sign:agree:
Thanks :-) So I have been a little better about watching my portion sizes and I am back down about 4 lbs so my initial panic has worn off. I know that I put on muscle easy and its a reason why I struggle with lifting because I tend to gain or nto loose anything for quite a while. So far I am getting weights 3 days a week and I still run twice a week. Also I think we might be pushing out our sway again! We have a big trip to Disney land next October ( for ODD's 5th bday) so really it would be better to wait till next spring summer. Ugh, I am bummed but I know it will be best. We were supposed to start this last summer but had to push it back because life. I am still sticking around and keeping my diet as blue friendly as possible.Quote:

I used to eat a massive amount of chicken! Not fried... like grilled. So, now I eat way more red meat and quick snacks for protein are full fat milk, beef jerky, nuts, boiled eggs, string cheese (all plus good carbs) and banana and peanut butter, yum! Just a few thoughts and then I added coconut water and started drinking shakeology. So that's really help not gain tons of weight! I'd be a house if I didn't have my shake or 'spend' my calories and nutritious foods! So, it's doable to get into the boy diet mindset and ease into the diet without gaining 50,000lbs! haha! Anyways, good luck!!
Glaring pos cheapie OPK yesterday afternoon, solid smiley this morning! We've attempted already a few times! Wish us luck!!!

I have a darling baby girl who is nearly 8 months old and she was conceived using clomid (I have thin PCOS). Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Hope everyone gets their boys!
