Best of luck girls

[minimatron]

Good luck everyone... Still waiting on Blueplease and are you testing today luv?

[luvalittleman]

Morning all. No Mini I'm going to wait a couple of days. I never get a BFP before 11DPO so decided not to waste my money.

[Adoptapom]

Hi! Over here in tww land, trying to not get my hopes up....but ff says to test on Christmas, which could either be awesome or horrible.

[afy]

adpotapom Hope it all goes well for you and you get your perfect little surprise!!
and Luvalittleman.. were all waiting for you guys .

.. I think this diet has got me ready to explode.. !!!!!! im not eating Crazy amounts but its keeping up with consistency which is a killer for me because im SOOO lazy at times when it comes to eating at certain times lol

[Cinss]

afy i know the feeling, but it does get easier, as you fuel your body more regularly your metabolism speeds up, so instead of having to force food down at ??o'clock you will get hungry naturally then, hang in there :)

[afy]

Its absolutely true.. My metabolism has sped up SOO much its unbelievable.. I LOVE eating dont get me wrong its just my timing and keeping up with snacking but I makesure I have sufficient snacks when im outside I have a Larabar at hand, my V8 juice, My almonds.. but sometimes i just think wait.. Your going through so much effort and it might not be what a desire but then i think hey nothing to lose so onward I go..

[afy]

Oh and cinns I forgot to mention I'm even getting oily skin in this dry winter weather it's not even a joke!! Lol I don't know what to make of this skin it's not overly oily but a difference from before

[Cinss]

That may be from fish oil or epo, are you taking supps already?

[afy]

yes im taking Epo once a day and fish oil too im takin multivitmamins (womens 1 aday), Coq10, and folic acid.. I wil be starting my gelatin today or tomorrow.. is there anything else you would recommend?

[serah]

Hello everyone
I HOPE I can join this thread. I was hoping for a BFP last Friday but it didnt happen so i'm on CD3/28 instead!
I'm swaying blue for a little brother for my DS.
First time trying swaying!

[The Anchor]

I'm in the 2ww starting today. I'm a TERRIBLE 2wwer, I can't even head over to that thread, it just stresses me out!

[spring2007]

Hi all,

I am quite new to the forum and just trying to read posts and gather information as much as possible for my blue sway. However, I am 6 days past ovulation and this month we just had sex around ovulation time so not sure if i will get pregnant this month. If I get preggo this month then may be i don't need any sway preparation. But i have two questions at this point and would appreciate any answers.

1) Does cold sway? Because this month we both had cold and little sick when we had sex.

2) We were on vacation n just got high n had sex twice within 12 hrs of each other. One in the night and one early morning. Now, I am worried seeing the posts that frequent sex lowers sperm and sways girl.

I understand that there are lot of other factors for a sway however, speaking specifically about attempt/sex....Did anyone have boy with sex within 12 hrs. of each other? Please give me honest answers or may be a link to someone's attempt. Thanks in advance n good luck to everyone.

[The Anchor]

I think a little sick doesn't really sway, maybe slightly pink. As for BD, I DTD 3 times in 24 hours for my boy sway. Good luck!

[spring2007]

Thanks a lot Anchor for your reply. It took me some time to figure out BD and DTD :) So, I see that DTD 3 times in 24 hrs is part of your plan...did you decide based on someone's successful sway? Is there any study backing this? I feel like i will get pregnant this month as I am already having some symptoms. I wish we had waitd and researched some more:worry:

[The Anchor]

I swayed in 2009 for a boy...and was successful. We were doing a lot of BDing when we conceived him. What cycle day are you on? Do you know when you O'd?

[serah]

I'm on CD3 and normally O on CD 17/28.
I've started Soy today so CD3-7. This may well adjust my O day but shall be using OPKs to keep an eye on that.
I feel like I've got the diet side of things sorted but its the BDing do's / dont's I'm not certain of if swaying blue..

[The Anchor]

Here are a couple of really useful essays on frequency:

http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-discussion-ttc-boy-girl-home-swaying-info/5636-frequency-bd-pink-blue.html
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-discussion-ttc-boy-girl-home-swaying-info/10156-jellybean-factory-%96-understanding-sperm-count-frequency.html

I did the soy iso this cycle as well, I'm on CD14, and I o'd yesterday.

[serah]

Oh wow thats really exciting that you started the soy too
have u used it before ?
What quantities did you decide one ?
I've gone for
CD3 - 50mg (just to see how I respond)
CD4 - 100mg
CD5 - 150mg
CD6 - 200
CD7 - 200

[The Anchor]

I took 180mg on CD 3-6, then 240mg on CD 7. This is my second month trying to conceive, I'd never tried it before then. My quantities were a little higher this cycle than last cycle. Only because I didn't have a negative response to it. I am actually doing what I've been calling a "healthy egg" sway, which ends up looking like a boy sway. I'm getting up there in years, and I want one more baby :)

[serah]

Fair enough. I'm 36 next year so I see what you mean..
This is my ttc cycle #4
was hoping for a bfp last week but didnt happen,..

[Cinss]

yes im taking Epo once a day and fish oil too im takin multivitmamins (womens 1 aday), Coq10, and folic acid.. I wil be starting my gelatin today or tomorrow.. is there anything else you would recommend?

maybe just wheatgrass and/or brewers yeast, they are just good to get the nutrients up :)

[dloui128]

maybe just wheatgrass and/or brewers yeast, they are just good to get the nutrients up :)

I definitely recommend the wheatgrass as well

[serah]

i'm not familiar with the wheatgrass. is it in tablet form ?Is this specific to swaying blue ?

[dloui128]

i'm not familiar with the wheatgrass. is it in tablet form ?Is this specific to swaying blue ?

I think they do sell it in tablet form, but I took it in powder form, I drank it everyday and yes it is good for swaying blue

[Cinss]

Hi serah, welcome :) Wheat grass can be made fresh or you can take it in tablet form (thats probably easiest) and yes it is recommended while swaying blue, because of its high nutrient value.

[spring2007]

I swayed in 2009 for a boy...and was successful. We were doing a lot of BDing when we conceived him. What cycle day are you on? Do you know when you O'd?

Hoping this question was for me...I am on 6 day past ovulation. I ovulated on Dec 12 afternoon. We DTD on dec 11th night around 10 PM and then early morning 6 AM (within 12 hrs of first BD). I am really worried that the two attempts were very close n might sway pink.

That sounds more like a blue bd schedule...the frequency of bd isn't as important as the other factors, like diet.

[serah]

if this is my BD plan for blue sway is it ok?

from AF-O shall BD every other day. But shall try and ensure to BD on O-1, 0 and O+1

[The Anchor]

Looks good...you probably don't need to do the O+1. Unless it's just for fun :)

[serah]

Thanks! I feel loads more focussed now and cant wait to get the ball rolling!
We normally wait till AF left then BD starts earnestly..

Does anyone use Robitussin / Guafenisen as well?

[Cinss]

if this is my BD plan for blue sway is it ok?

from AF-O shall BD every other day. But shall try and ensure to BD on O-1, 0 and O+1
The recommendation is every 2-3 days from start of your cycle (or when AF finishes) then when you get a +opk go for it 3 times in 24 hours. The reason is to get maximum amounts of sperm during the fertile window, as more sperm = more boys.

[Cinss]

Does anyone use Robitussin / Guafenisen as well?

This is good for getting more ewcm which is great for blue, you can definatly take it if you want, or you can use pre seed also great for blue.

[sugar1117]

Hello I am thinking of dropping some of my supps if I don't get a bfp this month, just want to get some opinions of which supps I should drop currently I am taking,

2500mg wheat grass
womens one a day vitamin
d3
folic acid
brewers yeast
fish oil

[Cinss]

I would keep all of them, nothing there would be preventing you from a BFP or mucking with your cycle. Its the L-arg and epo that cause problems.

[afy]

Oh yes I should try getting the tablets I don't think I could neck it! Do you know ladies know how much wheatgrass we should take??

[Cinss]

Oh yes I should try getting the tablets I don't think I could neck it! Do you know ladies know how much wheatgrass we should take??

I got them from a health food store, Amazon have them online.

1 per day is fine, i think its got 500mg in it

[afy]

Yes I just checked online the vitamin shoppe they have wheatgrass capsules. I will take a trip tomorrow hopefully get me some and get started.. I feel like I don't have much time even though my attempt is 4and a half months away!

[luvalittleman]

Hi everyone.
Only been away a night and what a flurry of activity...
Welcome to sera, spring and sugar.
Afy, I'm taking wheatgrass sups I got from the health food shop as I can't stomach anymore vileness in my v8 boy swill concoction. They are 500mg per capsule and it says to take 4 a day which I do.
On top of what you are planning to take and Cinss' additions I am taking Royal Jelly, Maca powder and also Bulgarian Tribulus from CD5 - O. The Tribulus is not recommended by Atomic however so make sure you look into that your self before making any decisions. I have a naturopath at my health food shop and after talking with her felt fine taking it. Good luck Anchor! If I get a BFP this month I'll have baby before my 40th...if I conceive next month or after it will be either on or after my 40th.
Just got back from visiting my mum and had a super full bladder held for 3 hours in the car!!! Decided to test but it was negative...will test again in the morning but CD11 is usually earliest for me (tomorrow). BB's are slightly tender which is not normal but have had once or twice before when not PG so who knows???
Am ok if I don't get a BFP this month..I want a little boy so much am happy to wait another cycle and more diet time can only help.
Cinss and Dloui, did you guys drink any alcohol when you were swaying? I have had a glass of red on fri and sat since starting my sway (vastly reduced form normal - usually 2 or 3 glasses of white wine 4 nights a week). I am about to go on holidays and was wondering if a glass of red here and there is good for boy or not?

[Princess of Pink]

Hello Ladies!! Well I think I am gonna start posting again now leading up to my 1st attempt, Round 2 of TTC our little man. I have decided to shoot for June now rather than July which means I have just 6 months to get ready now. I have made some great changes since I stopped TTC in June this year, I haven't had a single diet coke (or any form of soft drink) since July 1st which is massive for me as I have been drinking it daily since I was 18. I have lost heaps of weight and really sorted out my diet and cut out as much crap as I can, I am eating protein at every meal which I wasn't before have started drinking V8. Over the next 6 months I am working on exercise and weight training.

Just trying to decide if I should buy my plan now and start being really strict on the diet, sups etc.. for 6 months prior to my attempt as a lot of successful sways come from people being on the diet longer term (usually due to TTC taking so long). Part of me can't wait to start again and the other part of me is dreading it after 6 month of BFN's that I got at the start of this year. I am just praying that I didn't get pregnant then because I was meant to get pregnant next year with our long awaited son!

It is great to be back!!

[Cinss]

luv alcohol is not forbid on the boy diet, and red wine is your best choice due to the nutrients that you get in there. Personally i was only drinking 1 night per week (cut down also from every night) and my drink of choice was vodka lime and soda.

[Cinss]

YAY welcome back POP!!! I think you will have an awesome sway by June, surely it couldn't take you long to get a BFP next time, being healthier is only going to help you with that. Maybe shoot Atomic a PM and ask her when you should get the plan happening.

[sugar1117]

I would keep all of them, nothing there would be preventing you from a BFP or mucking with your cycle. Its the L-arg and epo that cause problems.

Thanks Cinss. I forgot to add I just started royal Jelly about 3 weeks a go, should I drop that?

[afy]

Welcome princess of pink! Trust me the 6months will fly I have planned to do 6months of the HE diet but I have prepared myself deep inside it may not guarantee me anything but aslong as its a healthy bubba I'm just glad I can eat better and healthier deff will carry this on after pregnancy too minus these concoctions and supps ill be glad to get rid of! I'm hoping to TTC April/may ..

Luvalitteman I can't wait to hear your results and don't stress about the BFN more time on your diet.. What is royal jelly like ?? And maca? I' feel like I'm taking so much already my DH (who doesn't know I'm swaying lol) is already suspicious and thinks I've lost it with the supps haha.. ! He's gonna start taking men 1 ADay but I'm not sure what he will say about it being 50+ lol. Apart from that he doesn't smoke or drink and has fairly boy friendly diet but Im not concerned so much about his as much as mine!

And by the way I FINALLY mixed in some beef gelatin to my V8 and it didn't taste any diff!! I was slightly surprised as the girls have said how its like living death Lol I don't know if I added in enough it said "1 level tablespoon" or do we add more??

[Cinss]

Thanks Cinss. I forgot to add I just started royal Jelly about 3 weeks a go, should I drop that?
How long have you been ttc so far? Royal jelly is more like a food than a supp so its safe to keep that one too, its great for egg quality and swaying blue.

[Adoptapom]

Afy- maybe the tomato taste helps? I hate v8, so I just put it in a smudge of juice.

I'm fully aware that is sounds like I hate all beverages! RIP diet coke- I guess I'm bitter! ;)

Sooooooo.... What's the earliest you can bust out the hpt?? I bought 3 today that I will try to hoard as long as possible.

Fine... I took 1, but that's it. 5 dpo- not sure what my crazy pants self was thinking....

[Cinss]

lol pom, you know peeing on a stick can become addictive! Grab yourself a bunch of cheapies off ebay :)

[luvalittleman]

Hmm.. just realised I don't have any tests at home.
Can I collect first urine and test later after I've been at the gym and shops or should I just wait until the next day?
Jeez...listening to you all talk about how long you are doing the diet for makes my attempt seem ridiculously short at 2 months!!

[Princess of Pink]

Thanks afy...what date are you starting TTC and what has made you choose that particular time? I expect the next 6 months to fly by....it feels like just yesterday I was on here telling everyone of my 6th BFN and my decision to take a 12 month break from TTC...I can't believe it was 6 months ago!!!

[SaraLou]

Hi Everyone - thought I'd join in the thread :) Can anyone suggest when to stop dtd after getting a positive OPK? I had a smiley face yesterday at midday yesterday, dtd last night and aiming to do so again this evening (and possibly before but unlikely as oh is so busy!). Should I keep going for a couple of days?! Thanks and good luck to all the other December sway team! x

[Cinss]

luv i dont see a problem with keeping your sample until you have a test. I actually read on here the other day of someone doing just that, but she put it in the fridge, haha i dont think that is necessary though.

SaraLou i would say 48 hours after your +opk would be safe to stop.

[luvalittleman]

Thanks Cinss and congratulations, I see you're halfway through the pregnancy already.
POM, I'm feeling your pain with the V8.
Where's Blueplease gone?

[minimatron]

Yes... where ish blueplease? I've been waiting for her post. I think she went away on Saturday to visit family....
hi to all the newbies.... you lot talk so much I can't keep up!
Think I'll need to change my signature....

[afy]

Pom I had the weirdest belly after I had that protein crap eurgh.. But I have conditioned myself to like v8 especially since we need to be buddies for a while lol I do a V8 everyday and now hve to add that gelatine lol I soooo see this gonna be the opposite of what Im trying for lol ahh don't worry we all have that lil obsession with prego testing I did too with DD I tested 5 times even though I had received a "pregnant" with clearblue lol.

Princess of pink I think mainly because I wanted to try round about the time when my DD turns 2 which is may. And because Im planning on going away in summer back to the UK and want to be free of all these concoctions and extra supps and just enjoy myself without having to worry about certain things . however if I don't get a BFP then I will have to continue till September and TTC then.. Which I hope I don't need to though I wouldn't mind more time on the diet! Oh yes and another reason I wanted a winter baby lol I had DD almost falling into summer well actually in spring !

Luvalitteman don't be silly it doesn't always guarantee the desire gender your sway is is just as mine if not more better there's no real telling .. Of course everything works diff for us all.. How long till you test???

[sugar1117]

How long have you been ttc so far? Royal jelly is more like a food than a supp so its safe to keep that one too, its great for egg quality and swaying blue.

I started the diet in Jan. I have added and taken away sups since then I ttc then but took a break for a couple of months, I started back with diet and ttc hard core 3 months ago now I am at the point that I really want to be pregnant by Feb so I only have 2 more months, I am still in my 2ww this time but I am just trying to prepare.

[Ismene75]

Hi, I am new here and would like to join the thread. (I have been lurking forever). I have two girls and am swaying for a boy. Started diet and sups in Nov ready for my first attempt end of Jan. I already starting to worry as I am not taking as much as you all seem to be. I can't stomach even a sip of the V8, yeast or gelatin. I am hoping my nut intake and weight training will tip the balance.

[dloui128]

Welcome :) I never did the yeast or gelatin, I did do the V8 though I didn't care for it much so I just chugged it :) Diet and weight training I believe are pretty important in a sway so as long as you are doing that I think you have a great chance. Best of luck

did any one try maca powder ?? i was thinkin to add some to my smoothie but i already add raw egg to it ..

Oh boy (lol) you're going to test tomorrow...how exciting! The one thing I have heard about drinking is if you MUST stick to red wine which has loads of resveratrol (anti oxidant). I'll probably be having a glass or two over the holidays...

[The Anchor]

did any one try maca powder ?? i was thinkin to add some to my smoothie but i already add raw egg to it ..
I am taking the maca root in capsule form. I do believe I noticed a difference, a little more "into" getting the deed done :wink:

[afy]

Lol anchor I did Read its suppose to help with reproductive system and libido so does that mean increased testosterone ??

[The Anchor]

Hmmmm...good question. I had read it was great for fertility and smoothing about hormones. Could be?

[afy]

I just bought some wheatgrass it's 1000mg .. Can we just take 2 of them? How much do we need to take??
And the maca I went to vitamin shoppe only to find it in the men's health section and couldn't buy it lol!

[4Giffins]

Hello gals!
Hope everyone is doing well! As for me..Im on CD1 of my TTC cycle! Ive never been so excited for AF in my life! LOL...and quite nervous of course. The last three cycles I O'ed on CD19 or CD20 so just a couple weeks tell my atempt. Gosh I hope I dont chicken out by then!

[luvalittleman]

So much for declining fertility after 35... my 39 year old egg has been fertilized first go. Hubby slightly disappointed as he loved all the multiple attempts.
Here's hoping, praying, chanting or whatever is necessary it goes the journey and is my very much desired little man.

Well best of luck for a bfp soon. If i was you i would just make a decision of what supps to keep then stick to that, maybe starting and stopping them may confuse your body and i was guilty of that at the beginning of my sway too. Sometimes it has nothing to do with what we are doing and it can just take a while to get pregnant. It was 10 months for me.

[Cinss]

Welcome, in the end i wasnt drinking v8 it got too expensive for me along with everything else. So for the 3 months before my bfp i only drank water and some alcohol on friday nights. I ate lots of nuts and did lots of weights the only supps i kept were fish oil and pre natal. You dont have to do all the things just enough to be able to say its quite diffetent to how i used to be.

[Cinss]

Afy yep you can take 2 of them. You cant overdose on wheatgrass your body will just expell any extra.

4griffins best of luck for yor attempt. Im sure we all went through that nervous time, you will be fine i hope you catch that egg first time.

[Adoptapom]

Ahhh luv! Congrats!!!

[afy]

Congrats luv!!!!
Pom were waiting on you now! I get so excited coming on her to check on all my Blue swaying buddies..
Wow that beef gelatin crap gave me the shivers today In can't help but think of you pom when i chug it down lol,its not the taste that bothers me its the texture!

[luvalittleman]

Hey thanks guys!! I am trying not to get too excited until I get to 12 weeks. I have too many friends who have had late MC and my age puts me at higher risk so am half excited and half cautious.
I don't want anyone to know until I am thru the first trimester (except for swaying buddies of course).
My test was so pale this morning DH told me I was seeing things but I could see the shadow and my BB's are sore and am sore and crampy above pubic bone. Also felt slightly nauseous a few times today and got up at 2am for a bowl of cereal (WTF?).
So still waiting on Blueplease, then Pom is next, then Anchor (good shagging by the way Anchor).
Where has Becca gone? And Blue?
We have lost some swayers lately.:sad:

[Adoptapom]

The texture is awful, but the smell is what kills me!!! My tiny diva ALWAYS says " is that the yucky medicine mommy?" Poor thing, she hasn't mentioned "her baby" in months,but the last few weeks everything is " can we get that for my baby?" "What does my baby want for Christmas?" And the worst "is my baby coming back from heaven to be with me?"

I'm praying this is our rainbow. My heart breaks for her.

Poor little Diva.
Your rainbow baby will come Pom.
Also, love that you have 4 rescue dogs. I have 1 that was a death row puppy and will turn 11 on her next birthday. She sits in the front seat everywhere I go (which looks strange as she's a big german shepherd cross) with the kids in the back. Ha ha.

Thank you Cinss! I certainly hope so too! Its funny how all the swaying stuff is so exciting in the beginning and then seems like such a pain towards the end! Lol

[Princess of Pink]

Well I joined the gym yesterday afternoon and I'm going to start incorporating 30mins+ of weight training and some cardio per day into my life! Am actually a bit excited! Going to mean going at 4.30-5am but I am awake then anyway so may as well be productive and get fit and help my sway. I actually think starting so early for me is a good idea as my body will have 6 whole months to get used to the diet, exercise, weight training and supps before I start TTC. Last time I was TTC during the changes and I think thats when you get scared and start dropping things weakening your sway.

Changing my life this much has got to do something surely!!

[Ismene75]

Well best of luck for a bfp soon. If i was you i would just make a decision of what supps to keep then stick to that, maybe starting and stopping them may confuse your body and i was guilty of that at the beginning of my sway too. Sometimes it has nothing to do with what we are doing and it can just take a while to get pregnant. It was 10 months for me.

Thanks Cinss, that makes me more hopeful. The fish oil is making me break out so I have to limit my intake of that too, but I am doing everything opposite to when I conceived my two girls, including eating breakfast as soon as I am up, instead of a few hours later.

[Adoptapom]

So FF keeps jumping my crosshairs!!! Now I'm panicking I missed my chance :(

I had a +digital opk on cd 12- we bd that afternoon and cd13. We didn't do a third attempt because of fixing the pipe that broke in our kitchen. Originally FF put o on cd12.

Today it has moved it to cd14- and we are left with bd cd12,13,15.

What do you guys think?
Panic panic panic panic panic panic panic panic panic panic

Mine did the same Pom. My temp dipped on CD14 and O pains were CD15 so we did attempt on CD14 and CD15.
Was feeling happy with my timing and then FF moved my O to CD18 and I thought I'd stuffed it up. I got my faint BFP on CD24 which would have meant I had a faint BFP at 6DPO which is not possible.
FF can be wrong if it finds a pattern it prefers it seems.
Nevertheless, even if it was CD14 you have 3 good attempts in there!

[Cinss]

All good pom, your definatly in with a good chance.

[becca]

HI all!

I was gone for almost a whole week! We had a big party for my little one turning one and now everyone's been sick! So, AF arrived this past Saturday :( after only a 10 LP. I had crazy crazy pregnancy symptoms - sooo much nausea. I'm keeping up the B6 and LO is barely nursing at all anymore so I'm hoping that will help next cycle.

CONGRATS LUV!!!!!! That is awesome news! I know you were hoping for it this month bc of how next month coincided with your girls bdays.

Ok, I've missed a lot so I need to go back and read the rest of the thread that I just barely skimmed while I'm chugging V8!

[The Anchor]

Just remember...FF is a software program! NOTHING can beat a womans intuition. I got a little freaked too, FF first called O on CD14, then CD10, then CD16. I'm pretty sure I O'd on CD12. Do not panic! I am (from my own count) 7dpo and I'm gonna stick with it!

[becca]

Cinss -- my bottle of wheatgrass says to take 5! 5 of them! each is 1000 mg. The pills are HUGE so I hate taking them. Think I could cut back?!

Yeah now that i think about it my bottle said to take it quite often too but seeing as i was taking so much of everything else as well i decided that 1 each day would be enough for me. So yes i think you can cut back if that suits you better.

[Adoptapom]

My wheatgrass is 5 tablets a day.

Thanks for making me feel better guys, I am over analyzing every detail. Anchor, I am 7 dpo too according to the first ff date. When are you going to test?

[afy]

My wheatgrass is 5 times too I couldn't stop staring at the label thinking WTF?!?!?
I'm just taking 2-3 that's it simply because of how many there asking me to take .. But 5 it's way too much for me there huge and stink! Omg had such a bad experience with the gelatine and v8 I think I didn't mix it in the juice enough, as I was necking it down huge lumps were appearing I nearly almost puked! Sorry TMI !!

Pom they are such good attempts I would be happy with those if they were mine.

Anchor I'm with you on that one FF is all computerised we can't just go by that and ignore our body's signs.. They are more important too

[The Anchor]

My wheatgrass is 5 tablets a day.

Thanks for making me feel better guys, I am over analyzing every detail. Anchor, I am 7 dpo too according to the first ff date. When are you going to test?

I think next Wednesday, which will be 13dpo. I could probably get away with 12dpo, but since it's christmas I don't want to stress myself out over it:) What about you?

Hi Becca! We missed you.
Sorry about the AF. Another month can only help so go hard on that diet (easier being christmas - just enjoy all the food).
Anchor and Pom I am :bluecheer: for your BFP's.

[True Blue]

Can I join you guys? I feel I do not belong here tbh I have been busy and despite a great start failed miserably with my diet.
I am on the higher side of a healthy bmi and have been salting everything and "trying" to eat what I should for a boy sway but certainly not eating enough. My sway is set for next month so hoping Christmas period will up food intake. Taking multi vits, fish oil, folic acid and vit d. Was taking more supps but they were throwing my cycles off totally. Cutting supps has brought me back to regular cycles.
I wonder are we fooling ourselves to attempt next month without having enough swaying foundations laid down.

[Adoptapom]

Took a test today- bfn :(

It's either 8dpo or 10 dpo according to FF.

:(

[The Anchor]

:(

LOL...I took one too! BFN for me as well. I am 9 dpo...don't worry pom it's still early...

[True Blue]

I tested totally negative 9dpo and very faint positive 10 dpo with my last DD
Still early girls :)

[minimatron]

Welcome true blue. I got pg after being on the diet for only 4 weeks! I don't know if it was good enough but here I am. I'm also on the heavier side and couldn't really affordto pop on more kgs...although I did with all that food. Good luck though.
I dreamtlast night I found out we are having another little girl. There was no u/s, I just knew for some reason and I was angry and also I was embarrassed to write up failed sway on here.... I woke a few minutes before dhs alarm! After I toldhim about my dream he asked me if u was upset... I couldn't answer...

[Cinss]

Welcome TrueBlue

[True Blue]

GL minimatron & congrats on the pregnancy :)

Thanks for the welcomes :)
I don't want to wish Christmas away but at the same time am extremely excited to get to our attempt.

[True Blue]

Minimatron I have had the same fears re: feeling embarrassed if this sway doesn't work. Yet I know we will be happy regardless so the feelings are irrelevant.
Funny what pressure we put on ourselves ;)

[afy]

Hey ladies.. just been following up.. Pom and Anchor you guys seriously have more time and IF its still BFN dont worry you get little more time on your diet.. (i know exciting)

And welcome to the True Blue hope we can be of some help..

finally Im coming down with a cold.. my eyes are stinging, nose is blocked ears are hurting.. Im scared to take any medication.. does anybody know which medication is Ok to take or any other ways to help the sniffles without taking meds???

xx

[Alyssasmom789]

Hi ladies new to this chat :bighug: I have been working with Atomiv since late October for my sway. God bless this women!!!!! She's amazing.

I have 2 beautiful little girls (ages 2 and 3) and would do Anything for a boy :bluesperm: we will ttc mid January

Any advice or what you would call make or break it for a sway....just curious...getting nervous :nails:

[Cinss]

Ladies i have been monitoring the successful blue sways and there have been a lot recently, i know its natural to have doubts but really there is a great chance you will all get your little blue bundles with all your swaying effort. :)

afy lots of garlic and vitimin C, hope you feel better soon!

Welcome Alyssasmom, i credit my sway to long time on HE diet, Fish Oil, and weight training, best of luck to you! (oh and i quit smoking which must have helped me too)

[Adoptapom]

Thanks guys. I'm conciously not testing tomorrow- I don't want to ruin the day. I did have the (tmi) tiniest smudge of brown spotting yesterday. I'm cautiously optimistic....

Afy- you could take mucinex.

[afy]

Only I wouldn't think of something like that!! I will deff try them thank you both..

Yep I deff think fish oil and my intake of water made my abundant EWCM ..I feel so much more energetic than before and I really believe it's my diet I don't know if this makes sense to anybody but I don't feel so sluggish anymore. Also breakfast i believe Is really important what you eat like now i almosy always have oat cereals ( Quaker granola oats,honey, almonds and raisins is really tatsty!) or oatmeal ( with peanut butter its yummmm) its given me a good Kick start to my day..but you don't HAVE to stick to cereals eggs are great ! I just find it easier to eat this morning time..

Pom that sounds promising! I hope it goes well and deff wait till you test again I know how tempting and addicting it can be pissing on a stick Lol!

Cinns Which successful sways did check out? i seen a few too.. i seen the stats for those who swayed blue there quite high compared to girl swayers arent they? I'm resisting to get my hopes too high and staying as much neutral as possible!!
I still get all broody seeing little baby girls the thought of my DD having little sister still sounds so nice!

[Cinss]

When i started editing this thread (the front page) - http://genderdreaming.com/forum/add-your-boy-sway/5584-swayed-boy-2011-2012-we-having.html i have added sbmommy, waffles and Mae (they all are expecting girls) BUT proudmommyx2, Mykiwibaby, HaleyR, 3girlsinarow, Me, Life in pink and Gaastra are ALL having BOYS, that has been just in the last 5 months.

[becca]

Welcom new swayers!

I'm having a hard time eating consistently bc I'm so busy with Christmas. Ahhhh! Snack snack snack.

Question for you all- did soy Iso this time, only 80 cd3-8. Cd 10 today, nauseous, diarrhea and burning nipples. Does the soy iso cause this before ovulation??? Weird. I keep thinking I'm pregnant so I'm doing IC preg test along with opks. Ahhhh! Both negative.

[Adoptapom]

Successfully avoided testing all day!

Merry Christmas everyone!!! It started at 79 degrees in Houston this morning and is currently 38 now!!!! It's finally winter for us!!

[ELP]

Belated happy xmas everybody:) Thank goodness its over!! now I can concentrate on getting a good sway under way!!! best of luck to all xxxxx

Good luck with testing Pom and anchor!!!:luck::luck:

[The Anchor]

BFN at 12dpo :( I guess I'm out. Good luck to the rest of you ladies!

[Cinss]

Sorry for the bfn Anchor, never know it may turn around.

[Alyssasmom789]

[Alyssasmom789]

[Cinss]

[Adoptapom]

Anchor, don't count yourself out yet!

I got super sick yesterday, so that is distracting me from testing. Horrible cough and fever. :(

[Cinss]

I would go for the Mucinex from Amazon (not both)

[becca]

Sorry Anchor! I hate seeing those bfns. Hopefully its just too early still.

Pom, I got sick too. :(

Cd12 . . . waiting on a positive opk. Starting to get anxious!

[ELP]

Hopefully that +opk is on its way becca, good lucl:)
Sorry about the bfn Anchor, did you test again today??? Pom did you test yet!!??

[True Blue]

Sorry you got a bfn anchor :(

[True Blue]

Are you girls doing any sort of timing?
We're not we're bd'ing every 2 days through attempt cycle. Ovulation almost always occurs on peak day 2 with my CBFM so will likely do both peak 1 and peak 2 day for luck :)
We'll stop then I think.
Getting super nervous/excited. AF expected New Year day.

[ELP]

I will be going for 2+ attempts as soon as I see my cm change to wetter, this is the timing that got Davey so I'll be sticking with it:)

[4Giffins]

Anyone ttc boy in January ?
My attempt is in January! Hopefully will O around the 5th..a week away! Eekkk!!

Anyone planning on drinking New Years? Since my attempt is so close, Im not sure if I should or not?

[Alyssasmom789]

My attempt is in January! Hopefully will O around the 5th..a week away! Eekkk!!

Anyone planning on drinking New Years? Since my attempt is so close, Im not sure if I should or not?

I'm hoping to ttc our first boy lord willing by the 12th of January!! So excited....I pray you get your boy....we also have 2 girls ages 3 and 2

[True Blue]

I'm hoping for the 14th and no I wont be drinking :)

[True Blue]

My girls were one or two attempts around ovulation. Ds I don't remember.
We've never dtd right through :oops:

[Alyssasmom789]

My attempt is in January! Hopefully will O around the 5th..a week away! Eekkk!!

Anyone planning on drinking New Years? Since my attempt is so close, Im not sure if I should or not?

So hoping January will be for the boys month :fx:

[4Giffins]

Well girls I hope January is a lucky month for us! I just pray DH and I have done enough to sway our odds..no sense worrying about it now though!!

[Cinss]

Good luck for Jan ladies! Drinking is ok while swaying blue, just dont forget to eat too :) Timing is not that important... having 2 - 3 attempts in your fertile window is the way to go.

[4Giffins]

As for timing we are currently Dtd every other day. I usually O on CD 19 so we are planning to BD the evening of CD 17 and then the morning and evening of CD 18 so we will have 3 attempt in the furtile window! Hopefully that does the trick! :)

[SaraLou]

Hi everyone. Well I had AF today :( gutted. It's only my first month ttc but I'm still questioning everything and worrying! I dtd every other day and then 3 times in fertile window. AF has arrived only 10 dpo which is earlier than I expected. Perhaps my cycles are a little messed up now I've just come off the pill last month. Anyway, joining all you January swayers now for attempt number 2! Good luck everyone :)

[True Blue]

SaraLou sorry AF has arrived :( Mine is due any day too so we will be ttc together in January :)
Praying for lots of Jan BFPs in here.

[SaraLou]

Thanks True Blue :) silly me thought I'd get lucky on the first month of trying! Bring on the January attempts lol :) good luck to you!

[True Blue]

Well Im just as silly as January is our first attempt too :) feeling nervously positive while trying to be prepared for it not to happen :worry:

[Alyssasmom789]

So I am getting mucinex 1200 mg guaifenesin.....how many should I take a day? I will be taking from my AF on is that ok????

[Cinss]

So I am getting mucinex 1200 mg guaifenesin.....how many should I take a day? I will be taking from my AF on is that ok????

Yep get that one, read the recommended dose on the bottle and take that per day. I would start 5 days from O, you are taking it to thin out your CM so there is no need to take it while you have AF.

[The Anchor]

Here we go again! lol. That witch showed up and now I'm on CD3. Started the soy iso's today. I'm going to try the robitussin this time, and drop the fertile cm, which I think is drying me up (has l-arginine in it). And it looks like I must have o'd on CD10, which means that weekend of chasing DH around was all for naught. FX that January is our lucky month ladies! Did we hear from pom yet?

[minimatron]

Sorry to those who got af. Adoptapom. How'd you go* any news from blue please? I'm away camping down the coast so happy New year to all.

[True Blue]

AF hurry up please :) never waited so anxiously in hope of AF before :D

Anchor sorry your AF arrived :( here's to Jan :fx:

[afy]

hope all goes well for all the ladies trying in Jan... aw gosh sometimes i wish my attempt was closeby well im glad to say i will be attempting THIS year now lol..

POMMMMMM where are youu????

[Adoptapom]

Hey guys!!! I have been so sick. I have been basically in bed since the day after Christmas- I actually pulled a muscle from all the coughing. It sucks!


But.... I did have the teeny tiniest faint line on a test!! I'm freaking out a little since I've had a fever, but I'm trying to keep it down with Tylenol. I am so afraid to let myself get excited, in case my sickness causes an issue. :/ I still haven't told the hubbs, but he couldn't understand me anyway- I've lost my voice and make sad squeaking noises.

I haven't taken another test since this- so I'll have to see if it gets any darker.....
7602

[True Blue]

Oh there is a line!!! Our first Jan line YAY :bluecheer:

[becca]

Yay! Congrats Adoptapom!!!!! Soooo exciting!!! Sorry you're sick :( Me too still! Mine is just a sinus infection but everyone in the fam just got over a bad cough/cold. I finally broke down and got antibiotics.

I'm still waiting to ovulate! I'm on CD 17 today. :/

Happy new year to all!

[Cinss]

Congrats Pom the 1st one for the year!

[Cinss]

Moving us over to the Jan thread gals :) - http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-boy/23699-january-chit-chat-thread-blue-swayers.html
