My blue sway plan- all advice appreciated!
My plan is to start the diet, sups and exercise 2-3 months before my official sway month!
Drinks:
Lemon water in the morning everyday
Lemon water in the evening everyday
Lots of regular water
Green tea mid day every day
V8 once in the day 3x a week only
Coconut water once in the day 3x a week only
Lots of regular water
Occasional: (very occasional) full cream/fat coffee or latte once a week or none at all
Occasional: (very occasional) red wine once a month or none at all
Breakfast: cereal and milk everyday
Lunch ideas: subway 6 inch sub on wholewheat with cheese, avocado and lots of veggie
With a Premade protein smoothie
Or small baked potatoe with full fat sour cream and a salad including avocado and tomatoes lots of green
Or soup and bagel with cream cheese
With possible premade protein smoothie or drink
Dinner: something random with protein fat and carb.
Snacks:
Banana everyday
Apple everyday
Yogurt everyday
Dark chocolate 3x a week
Decadent cheese 3x a week
Nuts everyday
1-2tbsp of peanut butter 3-4x a week
Sups:
DW:
-Materna prental multivitamin (contains 1mg folic acid) everyday
-palafer prenatal iron (contains 0.5 mg folic acid) everyday
-omega 3 fish oil daily
-probiotic 3x a week
-vitamin D 1000-1200 total
-mucinex 3-5 days before O
DH:
Men's 50+ multi
Vitamins D 1000-1200 IU
1000 mg omega 3
enzyme Q10 200mg (unsure on this amount)
L-arginine (unsure amount)
Probiotic daily
Exercise:
Cardio 2 times a week
Weights 3-4 times a week
Outdoor walks with fresh air and sunshine
BD:
Start hubby on release every 2-4 days 3 months before blue sway attempt- maintain it as much as we can
Protection: sorry if TMI but use the pullout method or spermicide free condoms until we are ready for sway attempt month
Sway month: **could use some advice here**
I'm torn between BD unprotected every 2-4 days after AF for sperm exposure OR BD/release every 2-4 days protected and then make sure the unprotected attempts are night of positive OPK, day and night after, and a few more to get some extra in.

This sounds exactly like me. I finally decided to go for unprotected BD because of the general consensus that exposure to sperm sways blue and DH.
As per the rest of your sway, sounds great. I did just the same, except exercise wise, I have cut out aerobics. I strength train every other day, alternating with yoga and take long walks frequently.

Looking good, a couple of the lunch choices are a little low protein if you could sneak in something like eggs or dairy
Are you taking 2 prenatals or is one just iron and folate?
200 mg coq for DH is fine
50-100 mg arginine is fine (only if he doesn't have herpes or cold sores though as it can make those flare)
Either way on the BD. I will say that many of us with all boys, myself included, do have regular unprotected sex in our infertile periods (so after AF thru a few days before O, and then after O as well) But you need to follow your heart and have the sway that YOU PERSONALLY want to have and will feel good about!

My first month swaying. I started the HE diet in September. So I had about 6 weeks before my attempt. Positive OPK was on Wednesday night. So we DTD early Thursday morning, Thursday evening and Friday morning. Poor DH was worn out.

If we get +opk at night do we wait till next morning before dtd? I thought it was Dtd at +opk, the next morning and next night? Mind you if we got +opk in the morning would that mean dtd that morning, that evening and next morning ?? I’m confusing myself lol

I think the ideal would be BD the night of positive OPK but we were exhausted. And the positive OPK was late at night anyway.

When I'm getting close to O I use a opk with fmu and then do another one around 2-5pm- so unless one of those was positive I wouldn't find out until I test again with FMU.
I think atomic would have the best advice on what to do with a night time positive! I think
BD that night and then BD the next morning and night, plus one more BD the next day.

But this is not set in stone, however it works out it's usually all good
