I'd do 100 mg coq10 for both of you unless we had some reason to go to 200.
If the Vit. D prescribed by a doc, go ahead and take it in addition to the Centrum. He must be deficient and we want to correct that.
I like 500 mg arginine and 1000 mg carnitine if he's willing to take them.
Gelatin juice is fine, not necessary tho
I don't recommend brands, but any kind that has just guaifenesin without any other active ingredients in it. I would use the dose on the box as it varies. Max. dose from 5 days before you expect to O to 3 days after.

Ok i will do that .. Thanks Atomic!!!
I will post more question as i will make my own plan .. hope thats ok .. really appreciate your help ..

Hi Atomic...
one more about Folic acid... i will do green tea may be twice a day with lemon and honey .. and our regular indian tea with milk in the morning ..
do You want me to add extra folic acid when i start green tea.. as i read that it washes off folic acid..
if yes how many mg extra to add with multivit?
Thanks in advance!!
-
I would take 2000 mcg (that is micrograms, not milligrams) when you use green tea. Take this thru the entire first trimester then gradually wean off by spacing doses further and further out till down to one per week, then drop.
-
Thanks Atomic!! Will do that.. and wean off CoQ10 as soon as test will be positive ..
Thanks a lot ..

Hi Atomic
So I'm back again. Did a pregnancy test and it's negative. Still have 2 days to go for period but I'm so bummed it's again not our month.
I got a ckearblue solid smiley on day 14 at around 3 pm. We did the night before,the night of solid smiley,the next morning and the day after once.
I thought I had covered all base. Really feeling sad.
Our first baby was conceived on the second month of trying.
Can you please share some insights as to what I should do next time around?
Another thing is I'm feeling maybe dh sperms get depleted because of the back to back attempts. What other pattern can I follow for bding like doing it everyday once type?
Really looking for some insights Atomic. Next month we will b in process of shifting houses and I'm just thinking that might interfere again with bding. Super stressed.

Hi Atomic
Just posting again incase you missed my last post.
-
Please give me a few days before bumping. With the exception of the custom coaching forums where I answer every day, it sometimes takes me a few days when I get busy. Since I answer from oldest to newest, if you bump too soon your post goes back to my "new" posts and it actually makes me take longer to get your answer to you.
Did your period arrive, then? When did it arrive in correlation to when you got the positive OPK??
The sperm was not depleted. Because you were in the fertile window, every sperm had a chance to stay alive to find the egg. So even if the later batches were slightly fewer, they were being ADDED to the sperm that were already waiting for the egg. It just wasn't THE month, if that makes sense. I am absolutely fine with you having only one attempt a day, but you have to be able to predict the day before you will get positive OPK. Does that feel possible to you?? (you can use a fertility monitor to do this if you have one)
In that case you can have one attempt the day before the positive OPK (O-2) the day OF the positive OPK (O-1) the day after the positive OPK (O Day), the following day (probably too late on O+1 but it will help if ovulation is delayed) and maybe even one more just in case. But what you guys did was great, and had absolutely no bearing in why you didn't get pregnant.
-
Thanks atomic for your reply. And sorry for bumping up the topic.
Yes i did get my periods:( my solid smiley came on cycle day 14 and I got my periods bang on the 28th day. So my cycle is pretty consistent and it has been like that for some months.
Waiting for this month's fertility window. Hope this is our month.
Need all the blue baby dust. Will keep you posted
-
No need to apologize, I just want you to get your answer as quick as I can so if I didn't tell you , you would never know!
Oh that's actually quite good news, your cycle is regular. If you wanted to you could even have an attempt CD 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and hope it stayed regular just as it has been.

Hi Atomic
So I just had my blood work done and Dr said borderline hypothoderism detected and she said start with 25mg of thyroxine.
I'm now more stressed...how will this affect blue sway or pregnancy overall. Can you please please shed some light?
Are there people who still continue trying even if taking thyroxine or do I wait for it to b normal.
Tsh level came 5.2
She did say it's borderline so it's not a lot.
I'm feeling so sad I'm so so ready for my next one and been waiting and trying since 2 months.
-
As long as it's being treated, it won't hurt your chances of a girl at all.
Yes you can continue trying, it should be corrected very easily now that your doctor is treating it.
-
Also, you may want to ask if they want you to continue prenatals with iodine or find something else.
-
Hi Atomic...
Thankyou for the assurance. Fertility window is just around the corner so that gives me relief to know we can continue trying.
Having thyroid medicine does that sway either boy or girl? Or is there no such evidence
Also as you know atomic last 2 months I have been doing the back to back attempts of bd.
If this time we try cd 12 13 14 15 one attempt a day.. how is that for blue sway? Or shall I put in 2 attempts on 14 day the day I see positive?
-
We don't know if thyroid medicine sways and we also don't know if the underlying causes of thyroid issues sway, either.. I do feel like we see more blue moms with thyroid issues, but there are def. some pink moms with thyroid issues too (and since we have so many more pink swayers it may just be a numbers game)
As long as you ovulate when you expect to I am fine with you attempting CD 12-15 (or even 16 in case of delayed O). If possible to have 2 attempts CD 14 that's great, but if not that's ok too.

Just take more than one of the folic acid and fish oil. It doesn't need to be exact, it can just be a close amount so you could take 1600 mcg folic (so two of those 800) and that is fine. You can even space it out over the day for better absorption. Or two 1000 like you say.
Those fish oils are fine!!
-
Ok got it .. thanks again !!!

Hi Atomic
So AF just arrived. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My first baby was conceived just after the first attempt.
Been trying since 3 4 months....
This attempt I got a solid smiley on 29 Oct and we did that night...
The next night one attempt but really late at around 2 am.
Then again the next day in afternoon...
Can you please shed some light....I'm feeling so so sad after every cycle. Can thyroid be an issue or maybe the spacing of attempts?
The next cycle what can I do differently for BOY.. perhaps do every day from 0-2 to 0+1. My cycle is bang on time
-
Yes absolutely have sex every day from O-2 through O+1 and be sure you are having hubby "clean the pipes" every 2-4 days anyway. Above we had talked about having more attempts and I'm still on board with that.
The thyroid stuff can really mess with conceiving. I think that getting this corrected will absolutely help.
It's not that common to get pregnant on the first try. Sometimes it happens and that is great, but we can't expect it to always happen.
Are you using Preseed or any other jelly/douche? What about a Diva Cup?
-

Hey Atomic... my once a day multivitamin is expiring this month.. we are planning to try in june or july.. just stick with multivit or switch it to prenatal ? Your thoughts ?

Is it the Women's One a Day?

Yes

I personally took the One a Day all thru my last three pregnancies. It makes a good prenatal, has all the same stuff in it, and it's affordable. It's your call to make, but it worked for me! If you do decide to switch, be sure you do that gradually - don't just go from one to the other especially if there are different amounts of nutrients in them.
-
Got it.. thanks .. i will get another bottle for once as day easy pizzy.. thanks again.. we are in process of moving to another state so its just Stressful avoiding attempt for one or two months.. but already started on supplements from April so thinking to continue.. any suggestions or thoughts ?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Why are you avoiding attempts? For your sway or for your family's convenience?
-
For sway actually i am Afraid of not keeping up with food calories .. working from home with three year old and packing boxes.. snacking all the times with healthy snacks like hummus cracker, banana chips, juices,eggs, dry nuts,fruits and mainly big meal is dinner with chicken or veg curries with chapati or rice pasta or Mexican.. cant keep tract of calories. Any suggestions? I am any way not big eater so always have to struggle to eat. Searching for smart way to eat more protein and carb with small amount of food..

Oh I got it, because it's difficult to keep up with the diet. That makes some sense though I do think you're eating well right now.
You're probably doing better than you think. all you really need to be doing is eating more than you were when you got your girl(s). It's ok if you never get up to the full amounts some eat on the HE Diet - we all have different metabolisms and it's ok if some people eat a little less than others!
-
Yup.. thats what i was thinking too.. when i got my girl i was literally on LE kind of diet may be less than that and were not on any supplements.. prenatal i started after 8 weeks after my 1st appointment.. my weight was like 90lb when i conceive her.. so i guess so far so i am better than last time . i am above 115 now and eating better. Thanks for your reply Atomic .. appreciate all your help ..

Thanks atomic.. i am so nauseous already.. with my first it was like breeze until my belly gets big.. this time seems like its gonna be struggle.
Now supplements wise stop COq10 complete right ?

Thanks in advance ..

Wean off coq10 by spacing doses further and further out till down to one per day, then you can drop them.
Continue prenatal (or multivitamin), probiotics, fish oil as long as it's less than 500 mg (otherwise wean back to that), and extra Vit. D if you were taking it!
