April/May/June 14 swayers...

[SpicyTunaSushi]

When I lived in the UK (My husband studied there), I found tomato juice from all the stores in cartons-which is still high in potassium and salt. I'd do that!

I had a hard time drinking it, but I did. For this last sway, I did green smoothies- with kale, romaine, or spinach as the green, and lots of variety of fruit, with yogurt- full fat (I miss Yeo Valley!) and occasionally some juice or water. It was a major potassium/micronutrient packed smoothie and it had a ton of calories too!

My DDS are almost 2 and 4. Sorry I have such a vague siggy!

Hey ladies, unfortunately I think I gained weight while sick! I put my diet on hold hoping the extra fat and protein would help me get better quicker. I am still not 100% but I am back on the diet today and will restart exercise next week on Monday hopefully. I am thinking I probably won't ovulate until the end of April so I have plenty of time left before first attempt. As long as I have a solid 6 weeks of diet and exercise I will be happy with that.

Sorry to hear about your headaches hotdogz. I used to get terrible migraines, I still do time to time. I really feel for you, hope the chiropractor can help!

After reading the twins post..I am not sure I want them anymore! yikes!

Excited for March to be here. I am hoping things start to warm up around here. It is terribly cold. Besides my first attempt countdown I am also counting the days until my babies 1st bday which is April 9th and then we have Easter Sunday on the 20th of April. Lots to look forward to, just got to make it past snowy march.

Oh no it's my tapatalk application it doesn't see the siggys.

Thanks for the tomatoe juice tip, I'll be going in the AM so we'll see. I might give the smoothiws a whirl.

Our DD's are around same ages. Hopefully this is the year our world's turn blue xx

I have three boys and up until I started le diet I always ate loads of protein, very little carbs. I used to eat tons of almond and cashew nut butters, tins of tuna, lots of eggs, tons of brown bread, lots of minced meat dishes and oatmeal and bucket loads of cereal. Was never hungry as I used to eat lots of small meals throughout the day. I got 3 beautiful boys from eating all that stuff. Oh and I drank gallons of green tea. Epecially the one with jasmine. I swore that made my blue bundles each time! Hope that helps. I miss my protein but I'm loving eating white bread for a change!
Rosie my ds3 will be 2 on 7th April. Their birthdays are really close. Don't worry about any wait gain you'll loose it again really quickly. Did you make an attempt the other night like you said you might?????

Oh April is so fun for bdays! I did not make my attempt the other night. Dh shot the idea down. I hope I don't regret it. I know a ton of success stories of people getting girls while sick. I think we didn't want to because I had taken a bunch of cold drugs and he didn't want them in my system while ttc.

[daisymoo]

I think ye made the right decision. Roll on 6 weeks!! I know we can do it! And you'll have much more behind your sway then, including all that exercise you'll be doing I'm taking the couch potato option Was walking everywhere when I conceived my boys so think it's safer to do nothing. Well as much as nothing is when you're running after 3 boys!! How old are your other guys Rosie?

Thanks Daisymoo. I'm going to have a look into oatmeal.
When I tried for my girls, though I wasn't intentionally swaying I cut back on empty carbs so I was losing a few pounds before conceiving. I typically snack on sweet goods so cakes, biscuits and chocolate were eaten but in moderation. I followed a popular slimming groups plan when trying to lose weight before trying for DD2 which begins with S & W. I followed the EE plan and on that you could fill up with pasta and rice. I tried to buy and use Flora light and semi-skimmed milk where I could. I would eat jacket potatoes with baked beans for lunch everyday. I ate alot of lean meats such as plain chicken breast with stir fries or fish with SW homemade chips. And 'low-fat' yoghurt became my goto snacks which I poured over strawberries and/or grapes. I drank milky tea, sugarfree squash, diet coke and low-fat hot chocolate. With both conceptions before my BFP I would be taking a folic acid supplement with 400mcg and not much else.
With DD1 I actually joined a gym and would go on the bike and running machines to get my cardio. With DD2 I had DD1 to run after and walked everywhere with her in a buggy.
I'm thinking of trying to lose a few lbs before April when I go fully HE but as we know losing weight sways girls, I am torn. Though tbh I have worked out that once I am HE I may drop lbs anyway. Confused.

Welcome Spicy, sorry for your loss.
Lol @ the chewy fiber tastes like dirt
@ Rosie, I hate eating when I am sick, I always lose a few pounds, Wednesday and Thursday I was sick at home bed ridden. No work or school and I had to force myself to eat. Glad you are starting to feel better.
So last night dh and I took the boys to a pizza buffet, all the families there had little girls. I am guessing most of the knew each other because 10 if the 12 little girls there were running around together, my heart melted. The other two families bad a girl and a boy. I was a little jealous
But I prayed about it, and felt a little better.
I still want twin girls though lol. Hoping everyone is having a great day
