Would This Work!

I am trying to loose weight but not much to loose, maybe 5lbs but I am currently at the right weight. I am going to exercise with walks, swimming, and yoga.

DIET; The #’s have been set to show the daily totals

5-10 am
COFFEE
International Delight Sugar Free French Vanilla, 200cals (NO transfat, sodium, protein)

11am and 2pm
YOGURT DRINKS
1,200 cals, 12g sat. fats No trans fat, 680mg sodium, cholesterol 80mg, 2000mg potassium, 160g sugar, 48g protein, calcium 200%, vita C 120%, vita A 16%, iron 16%

6pm
DINNER
1- 1 1/2cp veggies; average is 60cals, 4g carbs, 2g protein
1cp brown rice; 216 cals, 1.76g fat, 10mg sodium, 84mg potassium, 44.77g carbs, 5g of protein, 2% calcium, and 5% iron


Supps, pills, etc.
AM; zyrtec and fiber
PM; Clomid 25mg cd3-cd12, baby asprin, and folic

I am not charting or testing for O this time. It is to much work and stresses me out. Going to DTD everyday before, during, and after O. Charting and planning didn't seem to work before so now with Clomid I want a really good chance at getting a bfp.

Your DTD frequency will really lower your chances of a girl. Your better off to DTD only once after positive OPK or every 4 days after AF finishes. Make sure your fruit and veg are the low nutrient ones :) I'd also add some carbs to your lunch. or you will be ravishing by dinner time! Good luck.

I agree...DTD every day really ups your chances of having a boy Good Luck to you!! :)

Dtd every 4 days and one at +opk is very good odds for pink. Good luck!

The frequent meals, frequent BD and biotin all sway boy so I would change those. Eat 3 meals max (just have black coffee until 11 am, nothing else), BD once at positive OPK or if you are determined to up your BDing, BD every 3 days is the max I'd consider while still swaying pink, and drop the biotin.

But isn't the whole point with clomid to up your chances to get pregnant (with a girl, as it sways pink?) and you musn't use it too long? If I remember correctly clomid dries the cervical mucus upping your chances of a girl, but lowering fertility? I wonder what Atomic says. Good luck on your sway!

With all my boys we DTD every 3 to 4 days around those times because of traveling. When I was swaying for #3 we stopped a few days before AF and never got pregnant for 9mths (11cycles) gave up and then it once a few days before O and a boy.

I have a vitamin issue but I am not taking vitamins during this try but I will eat 1-2 fruits a day to make up for what I need.

I am not hungry during the day lately but having the yogurt drink at 2 holds me over for a long time. It has been so hot this month that eating is not something I look forward too.

I am not sure what my Dr is thinking by taking it 10 days. But the first time I took it I had a lot of pain so the Dr did an ultrasound and they would not have big enough when they were released the next day. He said starting it at cd3 and going for 10 days would give them a better chance at reaching the right size. I don't know what all that means but to me it is worth a shot if the dose is 25mg since he wanted to try 150mg but that made me nervous.

I of course can never really say "yes this will work" or "no this won't" because it just doesn't work that way, unfortunately.

A couple things that are sticking out to me, that is not enough fat and you do not need to count calories in the vegetables. They are free for everything and you can have as much as you want without having to count. I would like to see you eating a bit more .

I would have you do the BD every 4 days plus one attempt at pos OPK if you want a more pink-friendly way of upping odds of conception.

I have never heard of that in my entire life except for people who already have tried Clomid for 5 days.

I would not take 150 unless you are having ultrasound monitoring to make sure you do not hyperovulate or get OHSS.

I would never had started the Clomid if the Dr wasn't monitoring. I was monitored for several mths before getting the scrip for Clomid to see what was going on. But I have noticed that even when I was TTC before I was having O cramps for 2-3 days and wasn't sure when I had O'd. After monitoring I know that I have pain for days and then the pain goes away within an hour after O. But I also O'd when the egg wasn't fully healthy. The Dr told me that there are some people that only produce a small % of eggs that are fully ready to be fertilized. Taking the Clomid for extra days has helped many people. Some needed 6d's, 8d's, or up to 10d's. They do not rec more then 10d's because the egg will not have enough time to be fertilize or attach. The Dr did show me a few fertility papers about women taking it for 10d and that they conceived within 2mths. It was very interesting to see all the facts.

I did choose the mild 10d 25mg Clomid approach because I only want 1 more baby. After loosing DS3 twin I have been afraid of it happening again and no matter the gender I do not want to "see" and then "loose".

I mentioned to my Dr about my diet and he went over it with me. I am getting enough of everything needed. The yogurt drink has the right amount of fat I need daily.

I had a really bad stomach bug in Jan and it has taken me this long to get used to solid food again. I can not eat fried foods at all. I can't even eat butter or olive oil without being sick. I can eat chicken but not much. I love pasta with sauce and I can manage to eat a baby sized portion without being sick. to shorten the list.... and move on. The yogurt drinks were what kept me alive and provided what I needed. It is strawberry banana and when adding everything up it is balanced with protein, vitamins, potassium, and so on. The brown rice and veggies is part of getting me used to foods again. I count the cals of everything to show my DR how much I ate. I have to increase 20-40 cals every week until it is normal again.

Honestly I am not hungry or starving during the day. I still do my normal daily chores and whatever else I add to my things to do. I am busy most of the daily and even force myself to rest by going online for a few.

Ok. Wishing you a ton of luck!!
