    Clomid sway- should I take anything else?

    Well after some research (albeit last minute, unfortunately) I've crossed over from the IG diet to the LE diet. I've been doing a version of the LE diet for around 5 months in an effort to lose weight (although I'm unsure about my sodium intake as I wasn't tracking). I have lost almost 30lbs and am continuing on. I have dropped supplements (was taking Ca, Mag, Cranberry.. the whole IG plethora) and AF showed up a week early. I'll be picking up my clomid on monday (CD#3) and will discuss with my OB the plan whether to take it 3-7 or 5-9. I don't believe I will get a trigger shot, as I didn't last time (when I used it and conceived my DS#1). I'm also breastfeeding (which I wasn't when I conceived either son) so I understand both of those things sway pink. Should I add anything? (Already taking folic acid and have been for months). New plan is to BD once at +OPK. Suggestions on how long to abstain prior? Just trying to get my ducks in a row since I'm in a time crunch. I'd love to hear from anyone with suggestions or who has swayed pink with clomid Thanks in advance!!

    I doubt sodium does anything anyway.

    I would have your DH doing reg. release every 2-4 days and then go for one attempt at the pos OPK.

    Great plan, good luck!

    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

    This should sway pink a bit (even if you got boys on it before)

    I am sorry I am not quite following your question - any more with the Clomid like what?

    Do you mean other things like adding vitex or other girly sway things? If so i'd personally leave it, clomid and diet are a good sway and since clomic cycles are limited we really wanna get pregnant sooner rather than later, im on my 4th cycle of it next month so over half way :-( x

    With clomid you only need to take folic acid, nothing else. Your husband could add OLE (olive leaf extract).
