In general I have been on iron tablets for more than 5 months due to low iron levels was taking pregnacare for 1 month in september then pregnacare conception until ovulation and fish oil capsules aswell. Tried to source all other nutrients naturally as I didn't really didn't want to tinker about my system too much with other supps I never tried before.

Dietary Changes? Lots of protein carbs and salt, meat, eggs, potatoes, nuts, salty, foods. Lots of coconut water bananas. Nuts included pumpkin seeds, almonds, cashew nuts, walnuts hazelnuts macademia and pistachio. Was really easy to eat nuts daily and snack on them. Had a lot of take outs in December and tried to eat heartily for christmas, Stayed away from sugary things most of time but if did eat something, I ate some nuts after it. Ate proper breakfast mostly egg and toast nearly everyday or cereal. I did put on some weight I think but not really much, my weighing scales broke and never got round to buying a new one, I really need to get one.

DH consume caffeine 1/2 hour or an hour before BD? He had red bull.

Drinks? Started off with a wide variety ended up drinking mostly juices in December but my main drink was Vita coconut water and drank this until after ovulation. Skipped green tea because of the folic acid thing

can someone help tell me if my sway was ok? Atomic what do you think?

[girlmom]

i think it sounds like a loose sway. but i wanted to say i hope you get a boy. we did the egg whites and all the suppliments and got twin girls. fx yours turns out better then mine.

I don't know loads about boy swaying but to doing so great on the diet (especially the nuts!) and DTD more than once and getting more sperm in there! I hope you get a BFP and I hope it's blue

thanks for the reply zanacal got a few more days to wait until I can test, got a UTI at the moment so I think I failed my sway and showing no symptoms of pregnancy but who knows

I think your sway was great and I would not worry one iota about what DH would do or not do. Men!

Hey, I am assuming you were taking that high a level of iron under advice of a doctor because your levels were so low, right?? That amount of iron is extremely dangerous and I wouldn't want anyone taking that much unless advised to by a doctor.

We do a different style of swaying on here than on other sites and have evidence that indicates some of the things they do on the other sites are actually not boy friendly at all. Bumblebee, I think that's a fine sway and not loose whatsoever.

Hi atomic great to hear from you, yes my tabs are 300mg and I take them twice a day so a total of 600mg per day, unfortunately my iron storage levels are really low so my hospital consultant has put me on them, he and my doctor know I am taking TTC and its for the next 3 months so after that hopefully I can stop them taking them
