TTC DC # 6
I am continuing a pg diet while nursing my DD - starting to tailor it to boy diet but still keeping in dairy. I've started up a few breastfeeding-safe supplements: Prenatal, Folic Acid, Fish Oil, B-complex, plus extra B6 and B12. Doing the B's to help keep postpartum depression at bay since I struggled w/ prenatal depression/GD. Also doing Vit. D and Iodine supps a couple of times a week. DH is about to start a very primal/paleo diet to try and lose weight but I will keep up a moderate carb intake. Going to start some strength training when my midwife gives the go-ahead! Hopefully will shed extra baby lbs and build some muscle by the time my cycles resume - will chart & add more supps at that point

♥ TTC DC # 3
♥ Umm, had NO idea there was such good research re: running = girls! I was running 40+ per week prior to my girl pg's, so cut that out and do weights and resistance, with a bit of light cardio. Diet approach is pretty much what Atomic rec's with lots of food and variety of nutrients. Trying to limit sweets and soda which is what I used to live on. Supps I do fish oil, folic, zinc and ACV daily. AF to O will do either BSD or ASG.
♥ Tropicgal
♥ Swaying now ( well kind of....we started in Nov which resulted in a bfp straight away but unfortunately ended in a mmc and then after waiting one cycle we had a chemical) so onto April!!
♥ Approach is increasing meals and snacks (nuts, dried fruit and chips), inceasing salt and meat, drinking green tea, lemon water, v8 juice, orange juice daily, increasing weight training, taking pregnancy supps and extra folic acid, will take robitussan and ural before O.
♥ LauraInTexas (I was OohLaLaura at IG)
♥ Swaying since December 2010, TTC Boy
♥ TTC BOY, we have a 2 year old scrumptios girl already
♥ Basically everything possible....all the supplements, eating the boy foods diet, upping sodium and potassium, cutting out as much dairy, magnesium, and calcium as possible. No cardio, weight lifting. We're also doing one of the high tech at home methods---MSU. Our attempts are going well...seeing lots of sperm and almost all XY after sorting. I'm older---35, so it may not be helping to limit sperm availability overall

Cheeky, how's the poas going? Fading in yet?
TTC5, that's some poas action that you have going on. The digi stick at 11.30pm doesn't look like a positive out of the actual tester. Is the bottom ic one from 11.30pm as well? I do love seeing that smiley. Going to have to get me one of the digis I think. Where did you end up finding it? Hope you are managing to get some sleep today after your busy night. How did it go?
Lola, just keep in mind that if you do take Clomid, you can't take EPO or wheatgrass.
Begonia, the ignorance would be bliss again wouldn't it? Can't wait to see your nub pics.
How's everyone else going?
Rememeber how last week I thought I was going to O? Well, I didn't then. But I am now 4dpo. So freakin excited that I am starting to O on my own. That's two months on my own. And I had really good EWCM too, go the fish oil! Hopefully my body keeps co-operating.

Blah blah blah ... what we all want to know is HOW DID IT GO?!?! As your DH said last time, do you feel pregnant yet?!?
Welcome to your 2WW, TTC5. FX it ends with a nice early BFP!
Jen glad to hear you're feeling better! I mean, breathing out of both nostrils somewhat well is considered better, right?!? Here's hoping you're 100% very, very soon.
Had dinner with friends tonight and they have a 4 month old baby girl; 1st time I got to see DD2 up close and personal with a baby. She did GREAT! It made me feel really good. She was a-ok with me holding the baby (she actually TOLD me to hold the baby) and kept trying to feed the baby tortilla chips... luckily we kept stopping her. It's funny; DD1 had zero interest in babies before her little sis came along, so it was interesting to see DD2 really engaged with the little one.

Bec I am SUPER excited for you and the O'ing on your own, this is amazing!!! That alone has to increase your chances for a little fella! Do you think it is diet/supps helping?
-
June 29th, 2011, 10:30 PM #6
It's funny how kids always like to feed babies isn't it? How old are your girls? Sounds like DD2 will be great with the little bub when it arrives.
It must have something to do with the diet/supps/weights. Not that I have changed my diet a whole lot yet though. Who knows?! I'll just keep tracking and hoping, hoping, hoping that this Oing bizo keeps up.

June 29th, 2011, 10:41 PM #7
DD1 is 5 1/2, and DD2 just turned 2 .. they are almost exactly 3.5 years apart. DD2 and new baby will be 2 months shy of a 3 year gap ... and to me that feels like they will be really close in age, LOL!
Yes, I definitely hope your O keeps happening on it's own! It's fantastic to see such a positive change!
