First attempt is next week. How does my sway look?

[Kmomofthree]

So, my attempt is finally upon me and now I keep thinking I should wait until February.... I think I'm just nervous though. Tell me how my sway looks please :-)

I started out on IG. I did the IG diet from mid October until first week of December. I did not count calories, protein or fat. I did not exercise. I was strict though, only meat I had was chicken and I followed their cookbook pretty well. I did make slight modifications at times but looking back now all I was doing was making it more LE without realizing. I was taking the recommended doses of cal, mag, cran, folic acid and sp. I always skipped breakfast but I did eat scrambled eggs often.

I started snooping around Gender Dreaming more right before December. Read much of Atomic's research and essays and basically converted. I immediately dropped the calcium, magnesium and cranberry. I cut out meat (though i did cheat on christmas) and started tracking my intake on my fitness pal. I also began an hour of cardio 5 to 6 days a week. When I first started the cardio though the first 2 weeks it was more like 4 days a week because my 2 year old had to get used to the gym daycare and I was often called to leave early... so it was a bit unmotivating to go some days :-/

I added Vitex. My cycle stayed the same. I was only on vitex for one month. So probably didn't matter but eh oh well. I am on CD 6. AF only lasted a full day. Since it ended I have done a finger of aci jel at night before bed. I am on day 4 of Clomid. I am using it for swaying purposes only. I understand this is controversial but it is what I have chose to do. Maybe that makes me a fool, so be it.
I also understand that acijel and clomid may not go well together, if I get bfn this month I will drop the jel next month.

We will do one attempt at positive opk. Dh is doing nothing to sway. But we are doing FR. He is a cage fighter and extremely active person. He lifts a ton of weight every day, I have no doubt his T levels are high.

So now, should I wait til feb? Am I good to go? Did I leave something out or am I doing too much?

I appreciate your advice.

Oh, IG diet did for 7 weeks.

LE and cardio been on 6 weeks.

[Kmomofthree]

Oh and weight loss.

I started in October at 116/117 lbs. I am now 110 lbs. I am doing everything I can to not lose more weight. But I will add that my size is normal for me and I have NEVER in my life had a BMI over 18.5.

You CANNOT waste a month on Clomid. Your sway looks quite good, I'd absolutely attempt just as you've outlined. Nice plan!

[maidentomother]

Oh keep in mind you can't start using OPKs until 3 days after your last Clomid dose, or you can get false positives. So if your last pill is CD7 start OPKing on CD11, for example. Good luck!

[Kmomofthree]

Thank you! Yeah I'm definitely not going to waste it.... I'm just nervous :-D

That does look like a good sway to me how exciting to try this month (and I can imagine nervous too!!) xxx

I forgot to ask, should I include an antihistamine as well or would that just because over kill?

Bumping for Atomic :-) :-) :-)

I know I'm not Atomic but thought I'd chime in and say no don't bother with an anti-histamine if you're on Clomid. Clomid alone dries up CM enough and I think adding an antihistamine is overkill. You need some CM for those swimmers! When you're taking Clomid, it's important to get pregnant as quickly as possible. Best of luck to you!!!
