Well i was thinking, you could still take FA as they recommend it be in your system for about a month before trying to conceice and fish oil is good for general health so you could take that too.

I will be yep. So if we attempt again will only be back on supps for like a fortnight.. maybe better to miss next cycle you think???

I took folic acid for first few days in TWW and then swapped to elevit. I'm just worried that going back on supps for just two weeks isnt enough time to get my levels back up again iykwim?

Hmm, I guess people do do back to back attempts but I see what you mean about skipping the supps for the fortnight. Did you continue the diet during the TWW?

Spicy I say to give it your best shot I'd wait ... sperm count does have scientific studies showing higher does favor boys, so it is certainly one of the sway factors that is IMO more reliable. Keep us posted with what tonight shows! That is hilarious to me that you're oogling his swimmers under a microscope! That's serious business :-) And now I'm totally curious what my DH's would look like, LOL!

Babydes you're spot on... if we *truly* didn't care we wouldn't go through this. I do care. But I also think I won't have serious GD, which is why I say I'll be OK with another girl. I'll just have my FX for a boatload of grandsons.

I just used my ovulation saliva microscope and it works! I checked again last night and it was very bare. I saw a few swimmers, when usually I see thousands! Sadly, I do think the fever killed his guys. We are going to take a break this cycle. It means we won't qualify for maternity leave as I am going to have to leave my job at the end of the year for a move, but we just think that a baby is forever and we won't care about these little things in 10-15 years.

I can't guarantee that his sperm will be up to health even by next month, but August and September should be OK.

I have a question about the Ig style diet. Has anyone done it for more than 6 months? We feel fine on it, and truthfully, it seems safer than the ig girl diet. You eat a lot of calories, vegetables, meat, etc, just little dairy (which most of the world doesn't consume anyway).

I think we might stick on it for an extra months and take a break around the holidays (if we aren't pg by then!!!). What do you think?

I am strict about the diet in the sense that we don't eat dairy, but I don't count calcium and magnesium ( I almost certainly go over mg levels since it is impossible to stay under 200!).

So ladies need advice.... when AF starts full flow (decided not to start my supps today until i know it is AF just in case) I'm starting supps/diet again but question is.. I had 2 weeks off during tww would I be ok to attempt in July or should I miss and try in August give it a bit longer???

Do you mean that you haven't been dieting during the 2ww? I would go for August to give minerals a chance to get into your system.

This makes sense, but as long as you could wait till August....

I'm feeling a little crampy tonight, bet the damn witch comes tonight..

you needed to add this face to your comment! hope you skip your monthly though

Spicy, I answered in your other thread, but I think a break is suggested from the IG diet because one of the focuses is on sodium and potassium intake. And you shouldn't have too much over a long period of time.

Thanks Bec! I hear your logic....
