LBAM - ttc journey

[love being a mummy]

I decided to delete my list above and start fresh.

I think for us I need to increase my PH + for DH increase his testosterone levels.


I really think I need to work on DH's diet.
I was just reading that skipping meals is not good and can lower testosterone levels.
A typical day for DH
6am - Breakfast - 3 coffees
10am - A pie or sausage roll at work, or maccas or other take away food
6pm - dinner
After dinner a few beers.


I'm working on eating more meat for both us, is mince considered meat or does it have to be steak?

He has started taking the L-arg now just gotta get him to start on the zinc.

So much conflicting advice makes me feel like giving up.

Maybe I'll just do what my friend done and hope for the best.
She had 4 girls and only thing she changed to get her DS was take prenatal vitamins. Her Dh didn't change anything.

There is lots of different advice and it can be overwhelming for sure. When I first started Januray this year, I was a stressed confused wreck lol. Now, I have decided that I am going for the "high everything" approach. This means eating plenty of food (cereal day and night) and focus on nutrious food with some take away in between (salty meaty take away such as maccas). No you do not have to have steak at all. I have mince (beef) weekly, a roast beef each sunday, sausages, steak.

My days typically look like this:
Breakfast: Oats with oatmilk and chopped banana and a few chopped dates (I can not have dairy but if I could I would have full fat dairy) then a big glass of 1/2 grapefruit juice (good for ewcm) and 1/2 pineapple juice (good for our pH).
Morning tea I fry up a few rashes of bacon and an egg. Salted and sauce lol. Glass of juice.
Lunch I have wholegrain bread with ham and tomato relish, sometimes I add lettuce and sliced tomato. Glass of juice.
Dinner: Either steamed veg and steak, roast beef with roast vegetable, spaghetti bolognese, raviolli, take away usually a nice big burger in a bun with egg, lettuce, onion, tomato and sauce with chips. Have a glass of juice too.

My treats are peanut or almond m&m's totally addicted to these lol! If I need a snack I have a vegemite sandwhich or a penut butter sandwich or handfull of sultanas or penuts or some sliced tinned peaches in syrup.
Before bed I have the same as brekkie.
I have gained sooo much weight but have joined the gym few months ago although only go 3 times a week.. so I am not losing weight but hopefully won't gain anymore!
I drink water with lemon juice throughout the day.

DH has same as me too.

I've been eating like that for years, I am a big eater.

The only thing I can think of is DH.
He doesn't eat much, he will have 1 thing during the day and then dinner at night.
He has lost alot of muscle tone over the years.
Also our last 3 babies were after a long time of abstinence and then DTD once

I stopped L-arg cause people were saying it could make me dry.
I've just tested my PH and it's a 6 now.

I think EPO and L-arg might have affected my cycle. I am due to O very soon I am having cramps now but I am very dry.
