Girl sway attempt questions

[atomic sagebrush]

Up calories, ditch fiber if you are taking it, be sure you're more at 60 g fat especially.

Drop one day a week on exercise.

It's not that you did something wrong, it just happens sometimes. We're trying to turn that radio dial just to the right place where you're able to get pregnant but your fertility is somewhat lowered and that can be hard to get just right sometimes. It's ok, we just need to dial it back.

Add in a serving of full fat dairy and 4-6 eggs a week if you aren't eating them already.

Yikes, all that sounds scary like I’m compromising too much of my sway. And I do agree if I’m not ovulating I can’t get pregnant but it’s a lot.

Would upping fat and eating eggs or dairy be okay to try first without dropping exercise. I don’t reallg wanna drop that. I’m not taking fiber right now at all.

Currently I’m at 50-60g of protein a day, 1500-1700 calories a day, 45-55g of fat. I am also breastfeeding.

Also, I feel like adding dairy will sway blue for me. I ate full fat dairy last time every day and don’t want to do that again if possible.

Yes absolutely it is FINE to do this in stages. Totally fine.

I always have people who are nursing at 1800 or more cals and 50-60 g fat. That one thing right there is the first thing I'd change. Try that, give it a couple months.

Then, at that point you may want to add in either dairy OR the eggs, or the dairy 2x a week and the eggs 1x a week, whatever. This is supposed to be flexible, it's a-ok to not do everything just as I say it. I have to come up with blanket guidelines for people but the point of the guidelines is simply to increase the amount of saturated fat you have coming in (plus more fat and calories overall, but I think you can do that before you add in the dairy/eggs) So if you feel comfier doing that in stages and seeing how it goes, I am fine with that.

Over time you will be further out from birth, too, and that will help restore ovulation. A lot of this is simply a waiting game, waiting on your body to be ready to have another baby, while giving it the bare minimum of what it needs to make that happen. And if you prefer to do that in little bites over time, I actually prefer you guys do it that way!

Ok, I’ll try upping calories/fat a little bit and see how that goes. And hopefully that helps some. Right now I feel like with breastfeeding, eating LE modified diet and running in using up everything I got. Maybe a couple hundred calories will help restore ovulation without improving fertility too much and still help me sway girl.

Any suggestions on getting more saturated fats like you suggested without eating the dairy and eggs? Luckily we aren’t in a major hurry to get pregnant. Ideally by May or June though would be nice.

[atomic sagebrush]

I don't see the point of upping saturated fats w/out the dairy and eggs. Just eat more unsaturated fats first and see how that goes. The thing is that the dairy and egg fat is the shizz for fertility and most other sources of saturated fat is in things like meat and stuff which is going to be if anything worse than the dairy and eggs, plus it's less good for fertility.

[Haking]

Ok makes sense. Thank you, I’ll try getting more saturated fats then. Any suggestions? Ha. I’m not positive what is considered saturated fat.

I guess in a small way I’ve cut back on fertility so that’s good but maybe too much obviously since I’m not ovulating regularly.

[atomic sagebrush]

Well, that's the catch, see, is that dairy and eggs are the best ways to get saturated fats. Other sources of sat. fats are meat (which I think is worse for your sway than dairy/eggs) or coconut oil but we are not too sure coconut oil is as good for fertility as the dairy fat is. Try coconut oil and see if it helps.

Yeah we have to hit the moving target - reduced fertility, but still able to get and stay pregnant. The remedy may be Vitamin P - patience. You're still in the postpartum stage to some extent and it may just be waiting for your body to "feel like" getting pregnant again.

[Haking]

Ok, yes. I think I’ll just give it some time. Up calories a bit and fat a tiny bit in the meantime and just be patient. I’m not in a huge hurry anyway so I won’t stress it. I know I can’t get pregnant until my body is ready to, anyway.

[Haking]

Since my period is all over the place and not really on a schedule per-say, what is the best method for timing? I thought I remember reading every 4 days since 1 attempt sways pink. Am I correct in remembering this?

I am trying to go the relaxed route without temping and tons of ovulation tests, etc so what is the best to plan on having attempts?

I’m sure with breastfeeding and whatnot I won’t have consistent periods for a while anyway.
