Swaying (for hopefully two!) girls - intro and some questions
Hi!
I'm new here, and wanted to introduce myself and get some tips for my (hopeful!) twin girl sway.
I am 37 and DH is 35, we have three boys, 5, 3 and 1 and really want to add a girl (or two!) to complete our family.
I know swaying for twins is not recommended as twins can come with a lot of complications, but I have had three very easy pregnancies with healthy big babies and I'm starting to get older so I would like to try to get two girls for the price of one pregnancy!
The plan:
I naturally eat a boy friendly diet, don't exercise and I'm a bit of a control freak, so I am trying to get organised early and attempt towards the end of the year with the hope that sorting out my plan now and then zenning my way through it will help the dominance theory!
I was also boarderline with GD in my last pregnancy and my doctor mentioned my last bloodwork was pre-pre-diabetes type 2 (so asked me to watch sugar, etc), so I am looking at:
Me:
* PCOS LE diet (I am quite a bit heavier than my optimum BMI, so was thinking six months before attempt) + skipping breakfast
* Exercise every day (cardio)
* Glass of wine every night
* Clomid - I concieved all three of my children (and my child I miscarried with) the first month of trying every time. DH and I are apparently VERY FERTILE - but I want to up the chance of twins and girls so I have set the scene with my doctor that we are trying again and he mentioned in six months if we have no luck he will give me a Clomid prescription so I can take it for the real first attempt and it will be doctor monitored)
* Fibre supplements
* Folic acid - 5mg
Questions:
1. Olive Leaf Extract for DH - it seemed to have good results % wise for girls, should he take some?
2. Anything else for DH? He is naturally thin and will kill me if I try to take his red meat away from him, he doesn't exercise much, just lucky with his metabolism
3. I don't drink coffee or tea, just diet coke right now for caffeine, is this ok? Please say yes, I neeeeeed it!
4. I really don't think DH will be up for FR, would you recommend every 4 days in this case? Or a cut off? Keeping in mind we seem to get pregnant just thinking about going off the pill!
Thanks!
