Help please for boy sway!

I actually thought, if anything, it was the opposite? But that both are fine and particularly are very good for vegetarians swaying blue. I am a huge Brewer's Yeast fan (yes, seriously -- I sprinkle that stuff in and on everything haha) so was hoping I'm not incorrect!

And B6 is fine Bromedha. Atomic thinks it says blue very strongly.

yes exactly I am fine with BY and NYF whichever you prefer.

Re capsules vs. powder - if you're squeamish you may want to try the capsules but honestly one of the things I like about the BY and NYF is that they're like food and I just feel like your body "knows" what to do with food you're eating (like, if you get a huge amount of nutrients via yeasts) rather than in capsule form. So even though that's all very mystical/gut instinct sounding, I just have a vibe it's better to get things from eating them instead of swallowing them in capsule form.

Ah thanks for all your help guys - that’s why I love this forum

I’m gonna but some brewers yeast powder tonight. What do I sprinkle it on?

Do you chuck it on one meal, two meals or all food? How much do you use?

Thanks x

I had it on cereal and in juice when I was eating it (I was anemic during one of my pregnancies)

You don't need to take it to extremes. 1x a day is plenty, even 2-3 times a week is ok. I would not have it 3 times a day or anything like that.

I think you are right, brewers yeast is even more nutritious but the NYF are very good already and IMO better tasting ...lol

Oops didn’t see your answer Atomic thanks for clarifying
Might keep my BY in baking as I find it too bitter to sprinkle on stuff :P and use my NYF on food

You don't even notice it in baked goods! I add a serving or two to stuff I'm baking all the time. Otherwise I love adding it to soups or mixed into pastas!

So slight issue...fertile week is upon me. Apparently it’s from Friday and possibly ovulating next week. I’ve waited 6 weeks from my last BFN as I skipped last cycle so I’m keen to try again as it feels like forever...

I’ve stuck to my sway pretty strongly but I feel like I may be battling a cold - I can feel it’s on the cusp but not quite there! We are in the BD every other day and have had 2 unprotected attempts. Hopefully if I am poorly I can get it out of my system in a couple of days before fertile week even starts, but my question is this....how much does being ill when conceiving sway pink??

Will it trump everything I’ve done so far? Will it not matter as much if I’m ill before actually ovulating (rather than at ovulation)?

Arghhh...Sod’s law isn’t it?!?

I’m avoiding pills, potions and even paracetamol wherever possible. I have popped a couple of berocca tho - is that ok in terms of sway or should I avoid that too? X

Oh gosh sorry I only just now saw this.

We can't give a % on how much being sick sways because different illnesses would affect things more or less. Just no way to know how severe an illness is. I would say since the seasons likely just getting started, waiting may not gain us anythign as you could easily be sick off and on the rest of the winter. Follow your gut instinct!

The Berocca is fine for the short term but I'd not stay on it too long, the high dose B's may mess up ovulation.

Hi atomic

So the sickness for me didn’t last long - I think all the supplements and the berocca headed it off before it developed which was all good and I was feeling much better with a week to spare before ovulation.

With regards to attempts - we DTD every other day from AF until getting the positive OPK. On positive OPK we did 3 attempts on 3 consecutive days (tues, weds and thurs - positive OPKs on tues and weds). Friday was break day The plan was to then do an attempt tonight (Saturday) in case of delayed ovulation as per your suggestion. So we’ve had pretty text book SMEP/blue sway attempts.

However - the attempt one day after the 3 in a row (which is the Saturday attempt tonight) may be a problem as my partner has developed a terrible ear infection. I’m just not sure it’ll happen.

How crucial is this to a blue sway? Would it help if we did it after a 2 break instead (so Sunday) providing his antibiotics kick in or is there no point in this?

The first positive OPK was Wednesday. So we’ve probably had about 2 or 3 in the week before (in addition to the 3 at positive OPK)

Would appreciate the help xx
