As long as you have SOME carbs you don't need to increase carbs per se.
You can have bread twice if you like or change it up, totally at your discretion.
Normally I say to hold to 2x a week on fish, but as long as one of them is salmon (tends to be lower in mercury) then I'll let you go up to 3x since you like it so well, but no more than that

Okay thank you! Wondered did you see the link I posted regards the multivitamin I drink at breakfast time? I also see on one of your other forums u mention unprotected sex throughout the month or sex with a non spermicide condom, can I ask why non spermicide?

Oh sorry duh I can't believe I did not comment on that!
Why not just have regular juice and take a multivitamin? My concern is that when you start drinking heavily fortified things you end up possibly getting too much, and that juice does not have many of the major nutrients in it so you can't use it in lieu of a vitamin. Just have juice and take a vitamin.
Spermicide residue may sway somewhat pink.

No worries atomic, I imagine it can't be too easy replying to everything whilst working and raising your own family so this is all very much appreciated. I will just stick with regular orange juice and I checked the condoms don't have spermicide thankfully. I find it hard to pinpoint O so mid cycle prefer to use protection, we have started doing un protected around day 7 on, this month even up to day 10 (do you think this is ok? As we are a few months still off trying.)

Hi Atomic, so I just wanted to check in with you again as we are hoping to start our first attempts mid June (if my periods keep up this regular). So we are both taken all our supplements religiously but was wondering should we increase vit d as were only on centrum multivitamin. I probably have a good 6-8 weeks before trying so want to make sure I have every box ticked. My husband has completely changed his diet and has lost over a stone in weight atm he is doing cardio to bring it down but will slow that down in the coming weeks he just wants to get to his goal weight first. He has quit coffee and smoking he cut out wheat in his diet as he is somewhat intolerant and he is making a conscious effort to not drink alcohol so much. I have increase my protein in all meals along with hubby and I do feel with the last 2 cycles I am able to pinpoint O better, I also use the clearblue OPKs as they give a high fertility sign and then a peak, so am I right in saying starting bd when I get high fertility smiley face or wait til peak? Is there anything else I should do in the lead up

No not as such, I feel with my 3 daughters we only had 1 or 2 attempts right when I got my first positive opk which looking back on that now it's very obvious how we got all girls. I feel I don't O for a good 4 days after my first opk and before I only ever used those cheap sticks, this time I'm using the clearblue where I get a flashing smiley face for high fertility and then a solid smiley for peak. I got my peak wednesday this week and had cramps, today (friday) I'm getting a nerve popping sensation in my left side and I got this last month too around ovulation?? So I feel I O more on the 48hr side after my peak. I really dont mind about timing but my biggest thing is being able to keep up with all attempts as I don't get a lot of sleep so I just dont wana fall short. Hubby also has bad back atm he is going to physio but some nights he is just so sore also.

If you don't care about timing I'd have attempt starting the day of the second "flashy" smiley. Then have one that day, one the day of first solid, one the day of second solid (this gets you to the three attempts without having to exhaust you or hubby) and if you CAN, one the following day too.

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...
