Sorry a couple more things I wanted to check, should I be drinking a lot of water also are there any foods I ahould avoid and also dh has a protein shake every day should he stop this?

Thanks again Atomic for the great advice, how strict is it that I should exercise is it better to do it everyday or not at all
Thanks

We've had good luck with 4 or more days a week. I would try for 60 minutes.

NO you should not be drinking any extra water than you normally do. Please just drink to your thirst. People have made themselves ill changing their diet and then adding tons of water intake on top of that.

What's in the protein shake.

Hi......its called overnight recovery blend......whey, calcium egg white powder

[sassy86]

Cocoa powder, sweetener, l-glutamine

That's not terrible, it isn't heavily fortified with vitamins although it does have extra zinc. I probably wouldn't bother making a fuss over it if he's happy with it.

Thank you, I just feel nervous as we will be trying the end of November and I just feel like I'm nit doing enough

Everyone always feels that way!! Surprisingly, I find that the people who are doing 9 zillion things to sway and nailing them all perfectly actually have the most opposites, probably because they are or have to become mega control freaks to pull it all off. Try to keep in mind that all the people walking around out there on Planet Earth, the vast majority of them have at least one girl without doing any of this stuff deliberately, without thinking they're even doing anything any different than they did any other day. It is not necessary (and in fact may undermine your sway hugely by keeping swaying in the forefront of your mind every day) to go on for months miserable eating nothing but rice cakes and craisins, with limes clutched in your fists doing vaginal perimeter checks every 15 minutes to get a girl! It can't be because no one else is doing that stuff. It's just little changes over the course of time that works!!

You are right, great advice thank you.....do you still reccomend 1 attempt on o day, I fell pregnant with both my boys on ovulation day so do you think it's worth mayve a couple of days before or do you think that it doesnt make much difference?
Thank you

Timing doesn't sway. Most of us on here (myself included) have timing opposites. But it's fine if you want to do O-1 or O-2 instead...because trying on O Day is actually lower odds of conception than O-1 and O-2!!! So feel free to DTD on the day before you expect to O or 2 days before. Or better yet use OPK and have an attempt at the first positive OPK which will be an average of 36 hours before ovulation.
