Known fertility issues: Officially we are unexplained infertiltity
BFP Plan (BD Timing, supplements, charting, prenatals, etc.): We are going to try to BD EOD until ovulation is confirmed, and then a few days after. I just want to make sure that we aren’t missing the window and thats the issue. I am taking CoQ10, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Omegas, prenatals, going to fertility acupuncture. I made my husband start taking CoQ10 and all the vitamins too, haha! Charting and using OPK strips. We have cut out all caffiene and are working towards a whole foods diet with organic meat, mostly plant based protein, whole grains, and a majority of fruit and vegetables. Also – this is probably kind of woo-woo but I’ve started doing positive thinking and repeating positive mantras and positive visualization about being pregnant and how its okay to be pregnant. It can’t hurt right? Certainly helps with the negative feelings I have.
Trying anything new this month?: We are going to have our first appointment with our IVF doctor. My acupuncturist thinks I have a luteal deficiency based on my 10 + days of spotting per month and short cycles, so I have started taking B6 to try to lengthen my cycles. I am considering taking melatonin too since I’ve heard that helps.
Link to your chart if charting: I don’t know how to do that, haha!
For fun: Favorite TV series (bonus if it is on Hulu or Netflix) right now?: We are watching Designated Survivor right now and its sooo cheesy but still entertaining!
