Dibbles can you do eggs and potatoes with breakfast? Or eggs and bacon with your pancakes? Is there meat on your salad? It sounds like you need to do a bit more protein. Are you having any snacks? I think your supps sound good

[Dibbles]

Thank you!

Yes I'm going to try and get protein at breakfast.

Need to work on snacks. Was thinking crisps, fruits, raisins and dates.

Do you think it will make a difference if I gain a few pounds just before O?

No, gaining a few pounds is kinda the objective. I would just try to dtd about 12-18 hours after your 1st +opk, that should get you in ample time. Many of us do 2-3 opks a day when we get close so we can narrow down the time frame for ovulation better.

Welcome your sway sounds similar to mine good luck.

I wasn't aware that we both had to take folic acid ?
Are other blue swayers DH's taking it?

Hi Dibbles, Welcome, feel free to look at my sway, its on my blog.

LBAM - My DP takes Menevit which has folic acid in it, and a lot of other good stuff too, i would highly recommend it.

I have a hard enough time getting him to take L-arg and zinc.
Not sure if he would take anything else.
Maybe I could sneak it in his food hahaha jokes

[Cinss]

Hahaha yeah he would be like "these eggs taste funny?" LOL i'm not even sure why the guys would need folic acid, but i have heard zinc is the best thing for them

About the OPKs: Isn't it 12-36 hours after the first OPK? How will taking multiple OPKs help? I'm planning to do 2 a day so I don't miss the surge, should I be doing more? I bought internet cheapies in BULK! lol

Thank you love being a mommy and Cinss

I'm giving him folic acid because he has a couple of not-too-healthy habits that I'm not even going to try to get him to break. I think I read somehwere folic acid helps repair damaged sperm.. anyway can't do any harm

love being a mommy: I haven't told him he's taking supps yet lol but since it's only for a week I'm hoping he will humor me.
