Ok I can add more.
Also the first thing I have in the morning is cup of tea with milk it's only about 1 hour later I can have cereal this can be oats with mixed of nuts or shredded wheat and other cereals I mix it up everyday. Is this ok.. I find it hard to wake up and eat straight away.
That's fine, if you really need to wait an hour that's not a dealbreaker at all.
Yes any of those cereals is great!!! The only things you should limit/avoid are the sugary ones or else those that are pure carbs with basically no nutrient content (like corn flakes or rice crispies).
So AF arrived today.
Not sure how I feel... it wasnt my best month of attempts.
Guessing O was on CD 15 which we didnt attempt anyway.
I wont be using ovalution sticks this month just want to go with the flow, based on my app says o is on cd 12-15 so will try and go for as many attempt within this time a few before and some after.
Does this sound ok?
I'd err on the side of CD11 or even CD 10 as well rather than after. Fine to do it that way provided that the apps have been reliable for you. OPK are such pains in the rear to use.
Sorry do you meant attempt on CD 11 and CD 10 for this month?
I'm not sure regarding the app but guess it's all guessing game and I think ovalution causes alot of stress for me especially if they are not reliable anyway.
Yes, my point is start sooner rather than going after the point you usually ovulate (tho if you can, you can go after, too.) Be sure you've got attempts in before ovulation.
Yes will do a few before o and then when I think o is a few times. Let's try that this month and hope for the best. Thanks for your support
Hi Atomic,
Over last few months if not more I've noticed less cm mucus why would this be?? Would it be the diet and supplements but thought this produces more.
I did drop coq10 which I will hopefully add back in next few days.
It's supposed to produce more. Give me a brief rundown of what you're taking.
Are you drinking a lot of green tea? Taking a higher than average dose of B Vitamins? EPO? Flaxseed?
I dont take any of that or drink any green tea at all.
I only drink normal english tea with whole milk.
Vitamins probiotics, womens multivitamins, x3 400ug folic acid, omega3 tablet every other or every two day gap. Was taking coq10 but stopped few months ago.
Foods, chicken, eggs salmon, red meat beef and lamb, potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables, mushrooms, spinach, bananas, blueberries oranges, apples, pears, grapes, dark choc, nuts almonds cashews nuts walnuts. Cereal whole wheat based, oats. Drink lemon water 1 cup everyday and also 1 cup of coconut water if I can. I have butter, dairy cheese yogurt and blueberries as snack hummus and crackers.
Was watching my weight so started to cut back on snacks.
What multivitamins?
We are very far from convinced that sheer amount of CM matters. It may be that it's quality over quanitity (indeed, a lot of women with all daughters are reporting a lot of CM, and with at least one of my boys, I had NO visible CM and didn't even realize I'd ovulated!) So I would not really worry about this regardless but I do want to make sure that there's nothing we need to fix.
ARe you taking guaifenesin in the fertile week?
It's the centrum womens multivitamins I have been taking for ages now.
Regarding guaifenesin I was taking for a few months but didnt seem like it was producing more.. maybe I was taking to much. I can try again this week as its fertile week and have started attempt had one last night which is cd 7, hoping next one cd 9, cd11, cd12,cd 13, cd14.
Hope I can keep this up if I was to drop one do you think cd11?
How do you suggest taking it like on which days and how much to take?
Actually, I think you should drop the CD 14 one if you MUST drop one. That way if you ovulate sooner at least you're covered. See if you can manage CD 11, 12, 13.
So cd14 is showing ovalution on my app... of course I know this may not be right.
I was trying to cover if I o was on cd12 or 13 and then get the 14 in if it was on cd 14.
Right, but you won't be covered very well if you O on CD 12, if you don't have attempt CD 11! You will still be covered CD 14 even if you can't get attempt that day. It's your call to make but I would err on the side of the CD 11 attempt because CD 14 cannot help with CD 12 or 13, and CD 11 can.
Ok I will attempt on cd12 thanks for your help.
Also I couldnt get the guaifenesin cough medicine on it's own everything had something eles with it and I'm sure you have said to get the one with guaifenesin only is that correct?
I will try again later today or tomorrow but might be too late to take it??
And also CD 11? That would be my plan, but of course you should do what feels right to you.
What are the other ingredients?
No, it's not too late, this is when most people start using it.
Sorry that's what I meant cd 11.
We attempted cd 7 so far and will tonight cd9... I could miss 10 and do cd 11 12,13 hopefully 14 aswell. Does this look ok?
This is what I found today.Attachment 43433
Does the cough medicine look ok???Quote:

Hi Atomic
So bedding didnt go to plan or what I wanted.
DH was called to a family emergency out of town on friday which would of been cd12 so I missed this day and cd13 and cd14. Hes back today cd15 but guess this is too late.
We only managed cd7, cd9 and cd11 which is not good is it with the number of attempts.
What do you think??
I got some of my boys with that sort of timing. You never know until a couple weeks pass what the outcome will be. Good luck and blue dust headed your way!
Thank you... let's see what happens.
Hi Atomic
So I've had awful cramps and lower back pain for nearly 2 weeks now. Everyday I've had the same cramps on and off and only seem to relax when I sit or or lyning down.... still waiting for AF due tomorrow so will see. What do you think??
I think that sounds very promising for pregnancy. FXFXFX!
I think so too..Af hasnt come today so will wait til tomorrow.. still have same cramps and lower back pain.
So last 2weeks wasnt feeling great tried to exercise and diet and normal but was hard will this effect my sway?
In terms of vitamins do I carry on with everything as normal and also what about diet and exercise do I keep this all up if iam pregnant?
No if you're pregnant it's a done deal, you can normalize on diet and exercise at this point.
If you're taking just the normal vitamins we recommend here on the site and haven't added anything I don't know about then yes just continue on all thru pregnancy. The exception is coq10, you can wean off that one if you're taking it. Continue the extra folic acid or folate till the end of the first trimester and only then wean off back to the amount in your prenatal.
You don't need to continue the full HE Diet when pregnant but please don't suddenly go on a crash diet. You need to eat a normal, healthy pregnancy diet. Some people think they should starve themselves when pregnant to take off any weight they gained on the HE Diet but that is a very very bad idea because boys need more nutrients all through pregnancy.
Exercise is at your discretion. It is ok to exercise during pregnancy but a lot of us (myself included) never feel up to it. Your choice on that.
Ok thank you thought it would be best to check with you.
Yes taking everything you have said.. I can send a list to check again?
All all these aches and pains normal at this stage dont remember having this with my other pregnancy with the girls.
Feel very nervous about this attempt as wasnt my best month compared to previous I know it is what it is... have you seen many boys with the attempts I had?
Yes sure just to be on the safe side.
Yes aches and pains in early pregnancy are very normal. Many of us noticed this got worse with later pregnancies than early ones.
Yes you had a good level of attempts for blue! Good job!
These are what I'm taking and have done for over a year now.
The only one I stopped and started was coq10.. last attempt was taking it.
Vitamins- probiotics, womens centrum multivitamins, plus x3 400ug folic acid, omega3 tablet every other or every two day gap. coq10 nearly finished these on my last two tablets.
Ok then just take the last of the coq10, spaced out over the next week, and keep going with everything else. At the end of the first tri wean off the extra folic acid as laid out above.
So just space out the extra folic acids aswell after first trimester??
Also what's the best vitamins to take for pregnancy previously taken pregnacare but have seen on here this isnt the best is that right??
Wean off the folic acid at the end of the first trimester like I've listed below.

Ok great thank you.
I got my BFP today please send me lots of blue dust.
