TTC a girl after two boys
Hi Atomic and everyone, I’ve been reading posts on this site for a while and decided to introduce myself. I have two beautiful boys aged 2.5 and 9 months and I’m hoping to add a little girl to our family in 2020 (will start to TTC around December). I conceived DS1 on BMI 21.5 with semi regular HIIT, healthy eating (very protein heavy diet, juices, vegetables and minimum carbs and dairy) but snacking and one attempts at positive OPK (flashy smiley). I then lost 7 kilos in addition to pregnancy weight in the following year and conceived my DS2 on BMI 19 with two attempts at positive OPK (solid smiley) and the day after. Pregnant first go. Similar diet, but only Pilates exercises at home and walking. Never drank coffee in my life before my boys. Given my ok BMI I don’t think I have to lose weight, do I? I’m currently BMI 19.6, so unsure what to do with the diet.
What I’m planning to do:
Fasting 15-16 hours and eating at 9am, 1pm and 5pm - I did this for the last 4-5 years so will keep going
Reduce red meat and fish, add coffee and alcohol, stop oats for breakfast and stop juices
No snacking
Walk with the pram and do Pilates 5-6 times a week
One attempt at positive OPK (though it gave me boys?). My DH is 48 though, should we have more BD before our attempt?
Hoping to start modifying my diet in August and TTC at the end of the year. Any suggestions welcome, hope you all get the gender you desire!
