I really want a girl! Please help!
Hi guys
Long time lurker first time poster, hoping for some help here if i could.
im from Australia so have had to tweak some of the advice due to sups and foods here.
BACKGROUND
I have a almost 3 year old son, was devastated when i found out it wasnt a girl.I absolutely love my gorgeous DS, but am only having one more so want everything for it to be a girl. Ive dreamed of a mother / daughter relationship for a very long time.
It took us around 12 months to conceive our boy - i was tracking ovulation etc and had PCOS, along with DTD a lot, and hubbys sperm count is very very good.
I no longer have PCOS after having him - hooray!
I was on the pill for probably 12+ years before i had him.
Now:
I have been off the pill now and tracking cycles with Ava and FF for approx 2 months.
My first cycle was 40 days long and i am now on day 17 of my second cycle, which is has said ovulation today.
I have been eating keto for the last 9 months and have lost 15kgs - i am 166cm and now weigh 57.5kgs.
I am the healthiest ive been in a long time.
I have paid for the sway plans and eating plans and for the last 3 weeks we have been doing / changed:
ME:
Cut out all red meat except for maybe one cheat meal a week.
Eating lots of vegetarian and chicken
Switched to all low fats - cheese etc, but not a lot of dairy is consumed anyway
Adding in some carbs like rice, tortillas etc
Eating lots of green vegetables, no fruit
Fasting / skipping breakfast every day except saturday
Play basketball 4 times a week and workout at gym twice a week (this has always been the case though)
Drinking coconut water and sugarfree coke & energy drinks
Alcohol 3-5 times a week
Cutting out olive oil and un-necessary salt
SUPPLEMENTS being taken every day
Saw Palmetto
Cal-600 calcium
Metamucil
Vitex
Antihistamine (for allergies im on them anyway)
HUBBY:
Cranberry
Liquorice Root
Calcium
Soy milk
Hubby has generally been abstaining for 5-7 days anyway but we are currently using condoms.
So we were hoping to attempt in December but we are off on a child free holiday to India for a wedding for 3 weeks so i guess my question is whether i should just push back a month because i assume we will be BD every day or every second day, as it doesnt really work if we are going at it all the time! Also i assume while on holidays the diet will be a bit effected by extra alcohol and calories / limited exercise?
Im just worried about him / us trying to abstain if its right in the middle of our holiday?
Is the one attempt the vital part and when should i look at doing it? A day before O?
Should we attempt once while on holidays and then go back to using condoms?
Thanks so much in advance :)
