Thank you both for the input! I greatly appreciate it. We dropped the cran and dh has started taking OLE daily, and today is CD2, so I started my vitex. I like the idea of abstaining better. I think FR would get tiresome very easily for us.
As for cardio, do you think it would be okay to run for 30 mins, but brisk walk for the remaining 15-30 mins? I could do that easily! Thanks again.

Don't forget the alcohol (for you)! I don't know why it's rarely mentioned, but the stats have been great when the girl swayers include alcohol! Hard liquor is best since there are no added nutrients.
Me: 35 years old. Was an infant nanny and birth and postpartum doula. Now a full time SAHM.

July 2016: Laproscopic surgery to remove a ping pong ball sized endometrioma on left ovary and 3 pea size fibroids on outside of uterus. Hysteroscopy to remove one larger "penetrating fibroid" inside uterus.
Oct 2016: Heartbroken after DH's vasectomy. Looks like my dreams of a daughter are gone.

Dh has wine with dinner. Is that okay too?

Running then walking is fine. You can even just walk the whole time. What's important is that you exercise without pause for the full 60 minutes. No less. Longer is fine though.
Red wine is fine for DH.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Oh whoops I think this one must have been overlooked, sorry! Never be shy about giving a "bump" because sometimes something is missed.
Yes it's fine to run part of the time and walk part of the time. The important thing is the 60 min. sustained activity without food coming in.
Agree with alcohol, we have had good results with it altho not too sure why that is just yet.
Wine is fine, we tend to err on the side of lower nutrient drinks like light beer, white wine, and spirits, but several folks have done red wine and gotten girls so I think the alcohol outweighs any nutrients in it.
Thanks so much for your patience!!!! Questions??

Thanks, Atomic! You rock. I've decided to go ahead and make my first attempt in June. I feel like that extra month will give me a little more confidence in my sway and the fact that I get pregnant super easily makes me want to ensure I'm doing everything to my standards.
I tried to start another post, but it says it needs mod approval (?), so I'll just ask here: buttercream frosting white cake - yay or nay? Would a small slice after dinner be okay for a little dessert? I know with LE principals there aren't any restricted foods, but I didn't know if the loads of sugar in something like that swayed a certain way. x's 4! It's a girl! Born March 30th, 2016

Alcohol should be stopped at o? Is a small amount of pure cranberry juice daily or around attempt not helpful?
