Do these hormonal supplements make you put on weight???

[wantason]

I took EPO for 2 months from AF- O and did this diet and i gained 6 kgs ... Can these hormonal supplements make me put on lots of weight. I had left gymming for getting pregnant.. I started spotting also during ovulation after taking EPO. This month I didnt take EPO so I didnt spot also ... Now I dont want to use EPO as its messing with my body. But I want to raise my testosterone . I have started strength training , I also want to take the supplements for testosterone but I am scared of them messing with my body.. Please advice which supplements are the safest in all respects....

I think the boy diet itself does make you gain weight. That's not a bad thing. If you are lifting weights, that weight will be in the form of muscle (you don't want to gain many pounds of fat although a few pounds of fat will also help you sway blue).

If you don't like the EPO, you don't have to take it. It's fine not to. I don't think it sways that much anyway. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to take it!!

The best and safest way to raise your testosterone is to eat a healthy diet with plenty of calories and gain a few pounds of muscle from lifting weights. The supplements are all second to that.

Gelatin water is a very safe way to raise testosterone http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?1515-Boy-friendly-beverages&highlight=gelatin+water and even just getting a lot of sunshine can help!!

But I read on IG vit D sways girl ... Does it??

[atomic sagebrush]

That is something that I disagree with. I do not believe that Vit. D sways pink and in fact I think it sways blue.

Vit. D raises testosterone and this is widely agreed upon.

I found out I had a sever vit D deficiency after DD#3 and have been taking a maintenance dose of 5000iu per day to keep me in healthy ranges so by my experience low Vit D sways girl lol

Vit D aids in calcium absorption, this is why IG says it sway girl. When I posted my planned attempt I was advised to cut the Vit D for that reason.

I have read somewhere that vit D raises testosterone in men only .. in women it strengthens the uterus lining .. please guide.. I am deficient in Vit D and getting shots for that...

I have gained too, have not weighed but can feel and see it...

I think there were a LOT of failed sways on IG....just my opinion, and I think that one of the biggest reasons is this whole calcium/Vit D thing and the differences in the IG diet and the TW diet. All of the pink swayers were eating lots of dairy and getting a lot of nutrients from that, and the full fat dairy ups your fertility, which sways blue. I just find the TW hypothesis and diet to make way more sense.

And I have gained a good 15 lbs since I started diet and swaying in August last year. I also have bad skin now from higher testosterone, but you know what....IT'S ALL GOOD if I have a son someday!

Vit. D is a precursor to testosterone and it raises testosterone no matter who takes it.

If you are deficient in Vit. D, PLEASE continue taking your Vit. D shots. I think it will really help you conceive a son.

This is exactly how I feel, zits and extra flab are a temporary bummer I'm happy to trade for a son, or just the peace of mind knowing I did my best to get one.

so far my skin seems to be doing the opposite and clearing right up - although I never had bad skin to start with but it seems to be more supple now!?

Probably more vitamins and nutrients you are eating, plus the oil supps and whatnot, TTC5. Lucky you!!!!

So lucky TTC5!
