Thank you so much for your time atomic, I may be back in the lead up with some more questions. For now we are both taken our multivitamins and fish oil, I'm taken 800mcg folic acid and can increase if you think so as I have stocked up on my order that I am awaiting with hubby's further supplements and coq10 etc.

I generally like to see everyone on 1200. You don't ahve to if you're eating a well-balanced diet but I got a baby with a neural tube defect on 800 (even though it's supposed to be more than enough) so I tend to err on the side of that higher range thru the first trimester, then weaning back to the amount in a prenatal.

I will certainly increase my folic acid thank you. I'm not sure where I read also but am wondering does red wine sway blue or should alcohol be avoided? I would normally drink 1 maybe 2 small glasses of red on a Saturday night or every second weekend. And I also wondered what are your thoughts on gender friendly months? Again don't know where I read that certain months are blue friendly and certain months pink friendly ??

While red wine has compounds in it that may sway blue, at the same time we have found daily alcohol consumtion may sway somewhat pink. Once a week red wine is perfectly ok and allowed, though.
There seems to be a small bump of male conceptions in the fall months (Sept.-Nov) and small bumps in girl conceptions in spring (Mar-May.) In the Southern Hemisphere these peaks are reversed and there are more boys conceived (we believe, though there isn't the body of science) Mar-May.
But it's not that important - I have a girl conceived in boy months and two boys in girl months!

Ok thank you atomic. Also I ordered more coq10 and realised when they arrived that I ordered 120mg capsules instead of 100mg. Are these ok to take or is that dose too high?

Yes that's fine, not much more than the standard dose at all.

Great 🤗 I only got a months supply of the 120mg for me and hubby so when they're out I'll go back to the 100mg. Also can you look at these probiotic's, what do you think of them please and thank you so so much.

Also have been meaning to ask about peppermint tea? Is it okay to have the occasional cup, I find it helps me with digestive discomfort and bloating and only ever have a cup maybe once every 10 days or so or when really needed.

Yes, that probiotic is fine!
Peppermint tea in rare use like once every 10 days is fine. I would not use it any more than 1x a week.

Thank you!! So for breakfast I will alternate between oats with full fat milk or 2 boiled eggs with wholegrain toast (maybe avocado also sometimes) my question the morning I eat eggs and toast should I avoid bread again for lunch time and maybe go with rice instead of a turkey bagel etc? I usually try only eat bread in one meal but am conscious of needing to increase my carb intake. Also if I'm eating salmon once a week can I eat tuna for lunch twice in the week too, its just normal pots of tuna. And I need help on a bedtime snack if you have any suggestions please. Thank you atomic.
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
