what foods did you not eat and did you take any supplements?
Ha! Would be easier if you asked me what I did eat! Like I said, I had an occasional cheat but basically ate the same foods over and over. Plain rice, plain pasta, steamed green beans, hint of salt wheat thins, fat free yogurt, fat free frozen yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons of parmesan, some fruits - mostly raspberries, strawberries, apples with no skin, some veggies - mixed salad greens, broccoli - all eaten plain or stir fried over white rice with no sauce. Blah... Was a pretty boring and strict diet.
SUPPLEMENTS
- Calcium/Magnesium – I did get some from diet. Consumed about 1 or 2 servings of fat free dairy daily. (non-fat yogurt, fat free frozen yogurt or rarely milk). When I started the sway, was taking 666mg of Calcium and 300mg of Magnesium daily but stopped that about a month before conception.
- Vitex 400mg twice daily When I started the diet, I took the Vitex continually for the first 2 months and then it started to delay O. Switched to AF-O the last 2 months. Also used progesterone cream the last 2 months which I will obviously continue now.
- Fiber nightly
- Folic Acid 800mg daily then increased to 1600mg daily after attempt – due to low dietary consumption.
- Cranberry - I took this the first 3 months but it was making my pH too low – less than 3.5 and I think it was killing off all the sperm. Did not take it the month of conception and pH was right about 4 at attempt.
- Sudafed – took ½ tab 2 hours before attempt. Had barely any EWCM.
- Aspirin - I am allergic to aspirin so that was out.
Which fiber did you use, NeedAGirl? Here in Switzerland we can buy Benefiber. I don't know if that brand is fine?
Any kind is fine so long as it has no additional nutrients in it.Quote:

Does fiber have any calory or fat or protein that we should include in the tally of our daily allowances?
Not the kind I had...
Had my 20 week ultrasound this morning. Definitely still a girl!
Amazing! Well done!
