Vitamin supplements

[Jazmin]

Hi Atomic,

Thank you so much.

I came across the following L-carnitine supp. Is this ok? Please can you have a look?

Also how long hubby needs to workout in a day?

Yes that is great especially coupled with exercise.

I would have your husband do 30-45 minutes exercise 4-5 days a week.

Ok thank you. I will order the above for DH.

The only thing I couldn't find yet was fish oil. I have added everything else slowly onto my diet instead of starting them all at once. Thought to add fish oil if i find suitable one and if not then to leave it.

I came across the below one. How about this one? The dose shows for 2 gels I think, do you think it would be ok to have just one gel? That would make it half the dose- is that right?

Hi atomic, thank you. That is on the way.


Do you think ovulation can be delayed with multivitamin? I couldn't temp check this month as the thermo battery was dead after the first few days, so missed few days by the time I bought new batteries. This messed my chart and the app thinks I ovulated on CD9, which I thought is wrong and casually thought it will be the usual, around CD 12/13 as its been like that for months.

However, I didn't have usual cramps around cd12/13, today is cd 17! I got cramp on left side and i went and checked with the ovulation strip tester. It was positive with premom suggesting 80.

I have been ovulating around cd 13 last couple of months. So do you think maybe the supps moved my ovulation little further down this month?

I don't know for sure. If you're taking high doses of B Vitamins and a few of the different herbs those can delay O, but it may just be one of those things. CD 17/18 is still totally in normal range though.

Hi atomic. Thanks so much.

I am not taking any extra vitamins or supp other than what was mentioned here.

I am having centrum multivitamin for a months. Pro bio and folic acid recently started. I did try and add green tea but I probably had it 2/3 times this month.

I will keep a closer eye this cycle and see. Just want to ensure i wont miss o day on my coming up attempt.

Hi Atomic,

I thought to write down my sway so far.

Please let me know what you think. I just wanted to do everything to the best as I can this time as my previous one didn't work well ( that was before i found this site )

Please do have a read when you can, it is little long .

I had a weight gain this year. As your advise I have been cutting down sugar and carbs.

2 1/2 Tsp sugar to just a quarter to no sugar in tea.
no chocolates and other sweet items.

Carbs- cut down the amount of rice and have been avoiding chips and other forms of carbs such as plantain and tapioca ( i do eat little bit of chips one day on weekend as a treat). I eat my bf, lunch, evening snack and dinner. Doing workout 4-5 days per week.

Good news is that I managed to go down about 6kgs now. It is paused at this weight now for 2/3 weeks.

My planned attempt month is Jan/Feb. I don't know if trying in January will be early? At this stage what do I need to do? Resume HE diet now.

Supplement wise- it took longer than I thought for me to get supplements. I am having the following:

Multivitamin (having it for 3-4 weeks now)
Folic acid (2 weeks aprox)
Probiotics ( 1 week after changed)
Fish oil ( not yet- waiting, will arrive within 2/3 days)

Husband- he started doing weight lifting and some cardio.

Multivitamin - (same as me)
Probiotics ( same as me)
Fish oil ( waiting)
L Arg ( one week)
L Carnitine ( waiting - can start within few 2/3 days)

Now that I almost have the supps, we can continue them all in dec.

looking at all above,

what will be best month? Trying in January after resuming HE diet now plus include little more carbs
OR
ttc in February? not resume HE diet now and loose 1-2 kg more then resume diet in jan? Or
resume diet now but attempt in feb?

By resuming HE diet- i am thinking to add one or two more snacks and add little more carb.
Add snacks Btw bf and lunch & bed time.

i will try my best as am not a freq eater , i find it very hard but with my weight maybe I dont need that much ?

Drinks- v8 &coconut water. I try to drink one a day about 400ml

Milk tea (typhoo brand) 500 ml & black tea (lipton brand) 500ml - Everyday . One in the morning and one in the evening

Diets consists of one or 2 eggs a day. Meat or fish with more veggies for lunch & dinner. Try to add some fruits whenever I can ( banana , apple, berries and oranges). I try including the following- avocado, peanut buttter, dates, pineapple, nuts like pistachios, cashew, badam, , spinach, mashroom, carrot, cucumber, zucchini, broccoli, beetroot, cabbage and cauliflower. Most veggies are cooked with tea spoon of coconut oil. Try include full fat milk with cereal for bf or snack times everyday.

When I had my 2nd daughter - i was around 59-60kg. Now I am about 68ish. Last year this time i was around 60/61. I was at 74ish when I started to cut down.

Overall- what do you feel about my sway and when would be best month to attempt?

Green tea can delay ovulation but not if you only had it a couple times. I suspect it's just one of those kooky things that happens when swaying.

I would try to have you hold steady on weight and try in January. I don't think you need to add in more carbs, just keep doing what you're doing. I don't think you should add in snacks unless you are feeling hungry between meals. It sounds to me like you're already getting enough food and eating more won't help if you are already eating the amount you need!

Personally, I think you should continue eating the diet you're eating, keep taking your supps and exercising, and see if you hold steady on weight. If more comes off, then ~maybe~ you could add in ONE snack but no more than that. Use fruit and veg and nuts for the carbs in your protein plus carbs, no need to add any more carbs than that.

You're doing GREAT! keep up the good work.
