Plz help. I'm new and a bit confused.
First off I'd like to introduce myself. I'm the mother of 2 handsome boys ages 2 and almost 4. I would like to try all I can to sway for a girl staring next month in February.
So far I started my girl diet at the end of December. December 29 to be exact. In a typical day I have a cup of coffee with fat free coffee mate. Then wait till at least 12 to eat lunch which normally consists of pasta with ragu (no meat) or rice cakes or yogurt some red vines (or other kind of candy) or baked potato with margarin salt and pepper or fruit or rice (I normally have some combination of these things. Not all at once). My dinner is then a combination of some of the things mentioned above. I also drink crystal light and diet Pepsi with cherry. So far I have lost 5-6 lbs. I was wondering if the foods I'm eating at ok and if I should eliminate something or add something else. I am no longer eating meat at all and don't really drink milk so I've pretty much gone vegan.
The supplements I've started are baby aspirin 3x a week. Fiber 3 pills a day. Folic acid 800 mg a day. I started saw palmetto (800mg a day)cd 1 this cycle. I'm certainty on cd 11 and am wondering if I should stop it before o or just continue it all month since I'm going to ttc next month? So I'd be taking it af-af then start af-o the month I ttc? Also, I previously was wary of taking vitex for worry of messing with my cycle too much but have since decided to take it. So I started taking them today. Is that ok to start vitex on cd 11? And should I take it this whole cycle until I ttc next month then start the af-o plan? So again cd11-af then af-o?
I do also plan on using replens as well but have read rephresh is better? Thoughts?
As far as timing I got my boys with just one attempt so I'm planing bd every day from end of af to confirmed o. Thoughts on this? Thank you in advance I appreciate any help I receive.
