Boy sway 2 underway!!

The baby addiction has flared up again:) So it seems the attempts for Davys little brother maybe closer than my sensible plan had in mind! So! The plan info so far is:

Name: ELP
How may children: 9:oops:
What genders: 5 4

Supps
Daily:
2400 mg fish oil including 1200mg of active omega 3- lowered to 1200mg daily. The higher amount was causing heavy periods and very sticky mucous chest! I thought for months I had asthma, cut this down and it went away, very intetesting!!!
1000 mg coconut oil - I chose this as an additional oil as it is meant to be great for the skin:agree::bigsmile: - upped to 2000mg
2000iu Vitamin D
Pre-natal - stores own
500mg Royal Jelly - upped to 1000mg
2000 mg additional Folic acid (should bump this up!) -bumped up :)
Brewers yeast tablet 300mg
ACV 400mg tablet
Black cherry concentrate 1000mg (DH has developed gout:rolleyes: these are a good antioxident so I thought I'd just add it on lol

Every day
200mg CoQ10 -ran out of this in dec, still not received new one! (10 feb)

Twice daily
Bee pollen complex - 1000mg bee pollen, 10 mg propolis, 10 mg royal jelly
Heaped teaspoon of powdered wheatgrass -changed the wheatgrass to a greens powder which contains alot of grasses and minerals. Full ingrediants to be posted in its own post.

Diet:
Trying to eat well as often as possible, but definitely should be eating more fresh fruit. I try to avoid white bread, cakes and sweets as much as possible as I know these are girl foods for me, but again I have found myself bingeing in these due to nothing else in the house! But over all nutrition from diet has been good. Daily cereal.
Snacking - dried figs and apricots, peanuts, peanut butter from the jar:bigsmile:
Update-my diet has been pretty poor lately and I have been all the foods I have been trying to avoid. not good, grr.

Exercise:
Mainly lifting weights, ie kids and household objects:bigsmile:
My weight is 11 st, this is good for me! I have lost about 2-3 lb over the last 4 months, I am happy with this as I know its from improved eating and exercising, to put weight on I would need to be eating unnecessarily.
I have a noticeable improvement in body condition, kids have been calling me 'Hench' lol, I think this means strong/mean ??

Cycle:
First af from f/t b/f started 9 Oct, so possible ov around the 26th Oct if I'm on a 31 day cycle.

Attempt:
Planning on doing the Robitussin again fro a 2 day double attempt cut-off, again this is personal choice as I want all swimmers starting from the same position, no last minute pinks jumping ahead those clever old girls:bigsmile:

Ill update as soon as anything else comes to me :)

Feb 13 - Just added some quick updates with changes to doses an additional supps :)

good luck elp :)

Yes boss!!:bigsmile:

ELP...can I ask why you do the CoQ10 every other day?

Wow, ELP! I had no idea you had so many kids! Great for you! Good luck on swaying for #10! How exciting!!! ;)

Thanks sweetpea:)
Anchor I do the co-q10 every other day because I have higher dose capsules of 200 mg, when I re order I will get 100mg and go for daily:) I think 100mg is the recommended daily dosage??

MyGirl, Michaela and some of the other HTers are taking 600mg a day...on advice from their REs. So maybe the HTers are taking really high doses? All I know is it's expensive stuff!

I've upped my folic acid to 2000 and started the co-q10 every day, pretty sure it cant hurt? but will look into it further:agree:

Keep me posted, I'd really like to know what you find out. I'll be swaying for egg health this time, no preference on gender, just want to have a healthy baby!

Will do Anchor:agree::)

This is the contents of the greens powder I'm taking. I am feeling great on it which I'm sure is good for blue in my circumstances (f'ing shattered looking after this lot :bigsmile:).

Good luck ELP, can't believe we will be swaying together again!!

Wow ELP! You are amazing!! 9 kids and counting.. Love it!
That's Alot of supps your taking! I dont take so many but finding it hard to keep up.. I'm taking fish oil, multi vitamin, brewers yeast, wheat grass, folic and coq-10. I thought we were only allowed 60mg of the COQ-10 ? I was told to take that much by AS

Any recomendations on other blue swaying supps?

Good luck ELP!!

Maybe its just me, but what does "double attempt cut-off" mean??

This means I wanted to bd twice on the day roughly 2 days before ovulation. I just had a superstition in my head that I wanted my bfp to come from a swimmer that was waiting in the crypts, so fill the crypts and have a race to the finish line when my body signals hopefully with the conditions favoring the blues:)
