Blue sway
Hi all,
I want to sway blue after 2 girls. I just wanted to know what else I can do.
I have changed my diet to below and have been doing this for last 4weeks.
Breakfast oatmeal, wheat based cereals almonds walnuts, peanut and toast seeded bread. Sometimes I have two breakfast early morning and mid morning.
Main meals and lunches eating red meats 2 times week, loads of protein chicken and eggs including vegetables including carbs. Canned soups tomatoes and vegetable. Seeded wholemeal bread.
Drinks mainly lemon water,coconut water, orange juice and apple juice, limited tea x2 cups daily.
Snacks includes apples, bananas, crackers with cream cheese, carrots and hummus, dark chocolate and hot chocolate or yogurt and granola for bed time snacks. Dried fruit raisins and apricots, almonds.
Vitamins womens centric multivitamins, omega3 fish oils 1500mg, 450 mg active epa/DNA and folic acid 400grams.
I'm not big eater so it's been challenging to eat alot especially lunch and snacks and fussy eater.
Is there anything else I should be doing as I really dont know.
Looking to try next month December. Is it to late to buy a plan?
I've got mixed information about green tea, potassium tablets and evening primrose should I be taking these?

Do you have a rough total for how many calories you're eating?? We don't want you to gain TOO fast. Most people can handle about 3-5 lbs weight gain, but we don't want you to gain any more than that. Some people who are underweight gain up to 10-15 lbs but huge and rapid weight gain may sway pink.
Do you mean Centrum? I can't find the brand you're describing.
That is too much fish oil. I prefer you take no more than 500 (both you and your husband). If you can't find a lower dose, please start taking that every other or even every 2 days.
Green tea is ok to drink but i wouldn't use the supps.
You're eating great so I wouldn't take potassium. I very much prefer you guys getting potassium thru your food supply which you absolutely are.
No evening primrose. We had scads of opposites with that and the Omega 6 fats in it may sway pink when used in too high a dose.

Thank you so much for your reply.
Not sure how many calories but I have always found it difficult to gain weight even through when I was pregnant I dont gain alot of weight. I used to eat alot of wasted calories junk food instead of what I'm doing now snacking is more on nuts and crackers and I feel so much better for it. I feel as i have so much more energy. I never let myself get hungry or skip breakfast.
The fish oil I only take one tablet daily even though it says take 3 daily. Shall I still skip and only have every 2 days? My husband is taking multivitamins and cod liver oil is this ok?
Do you think there is anything eles I should be including in my diet that I'm missing? I have really cut down tea and limit this to 2 cups only. Replaced this with lemon water or juices and coconut water.
Hoping to attempt 3 times in fertility window. With my girls was always one attempt before ovalution.

These are the tablets I take. Only one for fish oil daily.

Oh ok great!!! If you tend to be underweight you have more leeway.
That bottle is confusing me because the dose says 4500 mg in three pills, so in one pill that would still be more than I like to see. But then on the bottle it says "450 mg" I suspect it's best for us to just get a different kind of fish oil we can be sure on the dose, or take it every couple days instead.
What kind of multivitamins and cod liver oil is your husband using?
You are doing great on diet! If you're happy with that then by all means keep going with it!
Centrums are perfect!

Ok I will look at another brand and for now take a dose then miss for 2 days. What amount do you recommend? Or brand?
Husband multivitamins as centrum brand aswell I will try find picture of cod liver.
Do I need to take Probiotic?
Also is 3 number of attempts good enough in fertility
window?Attachment 43011Attachment 43012
Also I dont do any other exercise apart from walking... and the usual runing around after two kids.

500 mg of fish oil. I don't recommend brands as there are just too many all around the world and they're constantly changing formulas.
The cod liver oil is ok for hubby but you shouldn't take it due to the type of Vitamin A added to it. It's best for you to avoid additional Vit. A beyond what is in the Centrum.
Yes probiotics are great!
Three attempts is what I find the best goal. It's doable (people have a hard time doing more than that!) and sways blue in our results!

Sorry for so many questions do you think there is anything more I should do or add to my sway at all?
