Can somebody tell the best cereal to have while ttc boy

Don't know if this was already suggested but I ate Rice Krispies with Vanilla Coffee Creamer on them.

I REALLY urge people not to go the coffee-mate route for TTC blue. I know it worked out for you Roon and I'm so glad it did, but those coffee creamers are laden with gross chemicals and no nutrients, and too many chemicals in your body may sway pink, not blue. Plus the lack of nutrients makes it just empty cals.

I don't love rice krispies either because they burn off almost immediately and make your blood sugar crash - I'd much rather you ate something that had a bit more protein/fiber in it so your blood sugar stays higher for longer.

I had oatmeal with cashews, raisins and coffemate every morning for eight months b4 swaying. This is of topic but my dh developed a love for oatmeal in the past three years, he eats it at least 2x daily sometimes 3x, and i noticed his ph was always 9+ everytime i tested. I don't know if it had anything with his obsession with oatmeal but the tech told me 95% boy at my ultrasound. Another significant change from when we had d girls was that he quit drinking soda and eating sugar.

Aaah I just saw this and that is GREAT NEWS! I'm so happy for you guys! Oatmeal with cashews and raisins sounds really yummy!!

I make mine with water but add a splash of milk on it to eat. I've also been adding raisins/sultanas to it instead of sugar to sweeten they are a great source of potassium

im defly going to try this. i wont be able to get dh to do it tho. he is not a fan of 'mushy' things. but he does eat raisin bran every day. thats somethng!

TTC5, did you happen to see the thing I wrote comparing all the various forms of milk yesterday?

They used to recommend unfortified rice milk which as of three years ago, they still sold (in the baking section). But I'm not sure they sell it any more because I looked for it at the store the other day and couldn't find it.

From the IG FAQ - "You can replace milk with Rice milk (with 2% calcium or less). It is slightly acidic so if your pH is working then don't use."

I bought some at Safeway in the health food area, I thought it was unfortified but can be for sure.

Thought I'd throw it in, I ate weight control oatmeal while both of my sons were concieved. I've seen a couple people on here list oatmeal. It will keep you full til after lunch time though!

Do you think you can stand the oatmeal? If anything oat cereals are better than wheat anyway.

I have Quaker Oats (old fashioned) buyed this when I was BF and cooked it every morning to have more BM.(did not helped)
Anyway I can eat it but I cook it with milk..(how dose it taste with water???)
It is ok to add some cinnamon ?

Also got 2 different special K cereal I was thinking maybe for night time... wanted to buy almond milk but didn't because it says 45% calcium on the box! The regular milk is 35%! So what now? (because some girls drink the almond milk here)
So oat cereals are better. I don't know about it a thing have to find some!
TIA!

I think almond is great even if it has higher calcium it is from nuts so better for testosterone am sure Atomic agrees too?

ALL oats have the avenocasides (the ingredient in oatmeal that raises testosterone) so just use whatever you like.

If you don't care for the texture of regular old Quaker oats, you can try steel-cut Scottish/Irish oatmeal (McCanns or Bob's Red Mill are the brands I've seen for sale) - the oats are not squashed flat like Quaker and they are not so mushy when cooked. But Raisin Bran is fine as well!! My DH goes thorugh phases where he eats Raisin Bran by the ton!!

Yes it is MUCH cheaper at Costco! They also sometimes have the steel-cut oats there in a big bag.
