    Please review my temporary possibly permanant sway plan

    Diet: wide margins because if I stick to one calorie count and etc I will get overwhelmed and frustrated
    1500-1800 cal a day
    40-50g of protein
    25-60 calories from fat
    2500-3500 potassium
    Skip breakfast regularly
    Not worried about sodium
    1 beer a day (it relaxes me)
    Daily Supplements:
    Folic acid
    Fiber
    Af-O supplements
    Benadryl or Zyrtec
    VG:
    Rephresh
    Sylk
    BD:
    Every 4 days
    Exercise:
    5-6 days a week 60 minutes each day
    Ions:
    Paint nails 2-3 times a week (I already do that)
    Use lavender body wash (I already do that)
    For some reason when I paint my nails I feel a lot calmer (more put together) and when I use Yardley London lavender body wash it really relaxes me.
    Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
    This will be posted in different sections, I apologize if you see this mutiple times, I know some women tend to respond more in certain sections.
    TIA!!
    Dh does not know about me swaying... he will more than likely be taking sudafed and zyrtec and benadryl (he has horrible, seasonal allergies (that causes seasonal asthma)) I have not bought as much red meat so he will eat it maybe twice a week. I will see if I can get him to take OLE... for some reason or another

    sounds great!!

    Sell Dh on the OLE by telling him it helps with the sinuses and such...and it really does! My Dh ALWAYS had sore throats every morning before he started taking OLE and now they are gone.

    It looks really good! Unless you have allergies, though, I'd check for an abundance of EWCM close to your attempt and only take the antihistimines the day before and of attempt, if needed.

    A lot of us are also taking baby aspirin 2-4 times a week. It acidifies (if that even matters?) and it improves egg quality, so might help get a BFP faster. How long are you planning to do LE before attempt?

    Your sway looks a lot like mine Hopefully a bunch of pink dust will hit us both in the face!

    Thank you, do you look for ewcm as discharge or examine with your fingers. I was planning to avoid aspirin because high doses can send me into a hemolytic crisis, or hemolytic anemia ... (Happened before) I have what's called g6pd deficiency, so I am avoiding certain things. I guess I could ask my doctor if I could take it in low doses for a few weeks. I will be on the diet for about 9 weeks before the first attempt. I have cut out cereal, and a lot of red meat.

    Looks really good - good luck! With regards to the OLE you could just tell him it is good for sperm - after all, you are TTC and it does have a grain of truth

    Regarding your question about checking discharge, I usually get EWCM on the toilet paper after I wipe, I couldnt examine with my fingers but thats just me.

    Skip the baby aspirin if there's even a question as to what it might do to your health. Yeah, you can check toilet paper for EWCM after wiping or insert fingers if there's none on your wipe to examine. Good luck

    Hey marriedmumof2 your sway looks great! Mu husband does not know we are swaying either! So far so good he doesn't even notice me skipping breakfast and its easy with pos opk to be like baby making time!! Can I ask your reason not to tell hubby? Mine is super stubborn and he does not believe in all this and he wants another boy- we already have 2 boys!! I'm already outnumbered xxx
