Should I wait?

[Mommasita]

I will probably ovulate in 2 weeks or so. I have been taking the supplements for months now (cranberry, vitex, cal/mag, folic acid, acidophilus) and baby asprin for only a week. I was taking Vit C and B6 up until two days ago, but stopped because they can possibly have other negative effects. I typically eat a LE diet around 1500-1800 calories a day (I breastfeed a toddler, so I still need a little extra), and I eat low sodium and low potassium. I haven't really lost weight lately, but I don't have a lot to lose. I could probably drop 4 pounds in the next two weeks. I try to use a lot of Aspertame, and I am only starting to drink the peppermint tea. I only now have the time to get 60 minutes of cardio 6 days per week.

So, given that a few things have changed lately, but many things I have been doing for months, should DH give things a try this month, or should we hold off? We don't get pregnant easily. It took us 5 months with DS and 3 months with DD so it is unlikely things would work out for us this month anyway. Plus, I did get pregnant with DD with a much less aggressive sway (I used cranberry and cal/mag supplements with a low-sodium/low-potassium diet).

What would you do?

Please never stop taking any vitamin supplements cold turkey. You need to gradually wean yourself off over 2-3 weeks and for that reason alone, I would have you either wait this month while you wean off the C and B6. Or, you could do a very strict sway that will prob. not result in pg (can be almost like a practice month for you.)

3 and 5 months is NOT not getting pregnant easily. That is perfectly normal amount of time to conceive in and it may very well be the case you'll get pregnant first month out this time.
