Ramadan and swaying girl

[onebigwish]

The year we are going to sway is 18 june 2015. As DH & i are muslims we are not going to eat
until the sun goes under. Thats from 3.00 night from 22:00 o clock between that time we dont eat anything. I know that that is very good for the low bloodsugar Levels wich sway Girl.
But my question is does hunger and hungry Feelings raise T-Levels? i think i read that somewhere but is this really true ?
really want to know this

I will also be fasting, but my attempt is before Ramadan, so maybe in 2WW I will start fasting.
Curious about this too so bumping!

Are u muslim ? Where are you from?

I'm really stressing and thinking about it now, dont know what is better, ttc in ramadan before or after.

I would think fasting would make it harder to conceive at all, which in theory should sway girl.

Prayer is a great way (for me at least) to reduce stress and relax. Maybe when you are feeling stressed you can work some extra prayer into your day?

I would think you have a good chance at a successful pink sway while fasting for Ramadan. Trust your instinct though. If you think swaying/TTC during Ramadan will be stressful for you, perhaps it's better to wait. Good luck!

read this article particularly the last paragraph, more girls conceived during Ramadan

Re the T levels, I believe that when you go from suddenly eating normally to starvation (as some people do) that there is a temporary increase in T levels because your body may perceive going from high food intake to starvation as a crisis that you may need to fight to survive.

But in Ramadan, you are still eating your normal amount of food, it's just that you are eating it at different times of day and going a nice long time with no food coming in. I think Ramadan is a fine time to TTC a baby girl.

Then PLEASE drop the FR. I think it barely even sways and if you've already got Ramadan working for you then I'd just go with that.

Don't worry about when you ate and what your blood sugar is. When I say "low blood sugar" I don't mean blood sugar levels per se, I mean that you have less food coming in (you aren't eating every 15-30 min.) and so your body has to burn your stores of fat and muscle in order to keep your blood sugar in normal range.

YOur body has mechanisms that keep yoru blood sugar in a very narrow range. It's not about what your blood sugar level is at any given moment (not even when you are about to BD.) It's that rather than having easy-to-burn fuel on hand all the time (eating big meals, snacking, protein+ carbs), you are eating less often and that makes your body have to work and burn off stores of fat/muscle in order to function.
