Help- TTC boy first time

[lkeas1022]

Hello! I am very new to this. My husband and I have two girls and we really want a boy this time around. I know it would make him so happy! I just want to make sure I am doing everything right and if there are any other suggestions. This will be our first month of TTC!!

I am currently taking:
Folic acid
Fish oil (mercury free)
Potassium
I plan to use Mucinex expectorant from the last day of my AF to O
Should I do BSF???


My DH:
Potassium
Zinc
l-arginine
fish oil

Are there any other supplements you recommend?

For my diet, I cut out dairy- eating a lot of bananas, red meat and veggies things like that

We are so excited to try for our last child!
Thank you!

Hi and welcome!

We do things a teensy bit different on here, most of us do keep doing dairy (and getting boys that way) but just be sure, above all else, that you're eating a wide variety of foods (even if you choose to skip the dairy for now) and try to get protein and carbs at every meal and snack, and please be sure you're getting a good amount of healthy fat like the kind in meat and eggs.

I do really recommend taking a prenatal or multivitamin. I know some of you guys have paranoia about vitamins with calcium in them but we get great results with them for our blue swayers. I got my last two boys taking Woman's One a Day (the orange one) and dropped it to get my girl. If you can't do that, then please do add in 1000 IU Vit D taken by itself and possibly a B complex but ONLY if you can find one that does not have the massive megadoses of B vitamins - if it has 100% of the DRV that is great, but skip it if all you can find are the ones with 800-1000%

I really can't recommend BSF, it prevented conception and did not seem to help the outcome of sways anyway. (plus it causes horrible vaginal infections) Most of us on here use Preseed alone without the baking soda.

Most of our hubbies take a mens' over 50 vitamin instead of the zinc taken alone.

I'd also take a probiotic for both you and DH. I know some places claim this sways pink but it is the ONLY supplement we have ever had when taken by pink swayers, that got worse than 50-50 odds. We got 60% boys with probiotics and now use it only for blue sways.

Is there any ovulation prediction kit you suggest ? I am planning to get Clear blue advanced digital ovulation test, I know you don't recommend any brands, , it would be easy for me if u suggest.

They're better than nothing but they have a lot less nutrients than the other ones.

I don't love the Clearblues as they are very expensive for what they are and just as unreliable as the strip kind. Some people prefer them but I have had as much trouble if not more with the Clearblues.

I would order Wondfo from Formosa Medical (other companies sell other things and call them Wondfo but only the Formosa ones are legit) and here is a link. https://www.amazon.com/50-Ovulation-.../dp/B00986X3TW
