TTC BLUE in October?

[jmomof3girls]

I'm a mom of 3 beautiful girls and I have talked to a few moms already that are TTC BLUE in October and I was hoping this thread can be for us and any others that are TTC BLUE in the near future that already have a few daughters. I just purchased a plan from atomic and I'm looking forward to getting it. This will be a good way to support each other and remain in contact!

[Auzair]

Hey Jana! Good idea starting a forum. Blue dust for us all!

[jmomof3girls]

Thanks for responding!! Have either of you started the diet yet?

[Auzair]

Hi jana & everyone! Im also preparing to ttc beginning in september. I have a 15 month old girl. What are you doing to prepare? Have you started swaying tactics? Ive started taking supplements but im slacking on the diet. Lol

[jmomof3girls]

Hi ruby. So far all I have done is read through Atomic's essays and learned as much about swaying as possible! I just purchased a plan and I will be following that as soon as I get it. I just got an example of the HE diet and I think that will be by far the most challenging part of my sway. It's completely opposite of how I normally eat. I'm also trying to visualize myself with a healthy baby boy. I feel that that is important.

[jmomof3girls]

Auzair, I'm thinking of starting my diet in August too but I will see when atomic says to. I have this feeling I'm going to gain some weight! LOL!

[rubygem]

Good luck! I think ill start really working on the diet in august too. Hope I can stick with it, its not how I eat at all.

[Auzair]

Janamomof3girls good luck to u and all other ladies may v have baby boy :)i personally think 2 and a half month are enough for diet i have also read somewhere that french gender diet book also says to do diet 2.5 month xxxx

I'm preparing for a change! Have any of you started your supplements yet? If so, which ones?

[Auzair]

Janamomof3girls i started taking folic acid vitamin b12since may and also taking vitamin d 1000iu i ll start fish oil from august hopefully
I personally think taking alot of vitamins for long time can also harm

[jmomof3girls]

I'm thinking that may be true. I haven't taken any yet. Are you following the HE diet?

[Auzair]

I m following HE diet n french gender diet fingers crossed let c what how it work i have read alot about high calorie intake at conception results in boy pregnancy :) so i think we shud eat more more n more ;)

Jana i m taking folic acid coz i had a miscarriage last year that time i was on folate supplements coz i was deficent now i want to keep my folic acid levels up to avoid any miscarriage or birth defects as vitamin b12 helps in absorbtion of folic acid so i m taking it with FA. N vitamin d is prescribed by doc.folic acid n vitamin b12 are water soluble vitamins thats y they cant harm

[jmomof3girls]

That sounds like a good plan. I'm not used to eating high calories on a daily basis so that's why I'm thinking of doing the diet six weeks ahead. I should go and get the folic acid. I might do that in the morning. Also, I read that October is a great month to conceive a boy. I didn't know that until today. Although, I was conceived in October and so was my mom and her 2 sisters LOL!

[Auzair]

Yes thats a good idea to have folic scid from now n yes i have also read oct is boy month as far as we are taking high calorie diet.after researching a bit in my eyes diet is basic factor.lolxxx just want to tell my husband n his 4 male cousins were concieved in oct ;) all we can do is to try our best to raise odds of our desired gender n all that happens is God's willing :)
How about you ?? Is this ur first sway?? Or u tried shettles method or something before ??

This is my first sway. I didn't plan my other children. My DD1 was conceived when I was 19 and my other girls were conceived when I didn't go pick up my birth Control. This will be my only planned baby. I never thought I would have 4 children. I only wanted one. I was always more of a career oriented person. They have changed my mind! I was never surprised that they were girls. I instinctively knew. I didn't have gender disappointment with any of them. I know my husband was a little disappointed with the DD3 but he got over it very quickly. We just adore our girls. All 3 girls look just like their daddy and he is very proud of that. We actually make great girl parents. My younger brother found out that his first baby was a boy when my DD3 was 8 months old. I was very envious. I couldn't believe I felt that way. I secretly cried! It showed me that I did long for a son. My husband recently got a promotion at his job and we moved into a big 4 bedroom house. I decided to give it one more try. I started researching and I found this sight. If I have another girl after this sway, than I know that I was only meant to be a girl mom. Which is fine because our girls are AMAZING! I would be thrilled to have a son of my own and have the opportunity to raise both genders. What about you? How many children do you have? Is this your first sway?

[Auzair]

Jana u gave me confidence by telling ur story i m in my mid 20's n have a little 2yr old girl i just simply love her i want to have one or two sons to complete my family earlier when my daughter was born after that i started researching about boy conception then i came to know about shettles method on many sites like babycentre my last mc was not a planned baby.this year my daughter became 2 then i started researching keenly n came to know it is no longer reliable,after that i found researches about diet n gender n started following it i have read diff sites but atomic essays made a great sense to me n i decided to follow her :)
I also read alot on babycentre about conception supplement Pregnacare conception (its a UK brand)mostly leads to boy pregnancy n i ll also take it the month i ll ttc :)
Me n my husband heartly want to have sons but uf we get daughter we ll also welcome her.but i do pray alot to have boy may b twin boys ;)

Hey ladies,
I started my supplements about 16 days ago and I feel great. I'm taking folic acid, multivitamin, fish oil, vitamin D, wheat grass tablets and green tea. I never drank green tea before and I'm totally addicted to it. My husband and I plan on ttc a boy this October and we have a spoiled soon to be four year old princess. I want to start my diet hardcore 8 weeks prior to our attempt but I've been exercising a lot more and eating better now. I am nervous to sway, I feel confident most of the time but I have a fear of disappointment. How are you ladies feeling?

[Auzair]

Beckmom89 sometimes when i read successful sways my hopes increase n i get confidence that my sway ll defintely work but as soon as i read just a single failed sway i start thinking what ll happen if sway failed,this is human nature :) so b positive n positive things ll happen God ll give us what we deserve :)do ur best to increase odds of boy

Hi ladies - I jut signed up for a plan and am going to TTC October I think. I'm really not looking forward to the HE diet - I'm very controlled about my weight and it sounds really fattening. I know this is just not important at all - but it is going to affect my mood a lot to gain weight. Obviously the sway matters more, but I don't look forward to piling on pounds I just lost after having my daughter. I'm hoping there might be some way round it... Probably not. High cal does sound pretty essential. Ugh.
Are you all taking pregnacare (prenatal) vitamins now? I think one of you said they sway blue. I have some, but I won't take anything without Atomic's advice.

Very best of luck to you all.

Your supplements sound great. I feel the same way as Auzair! I wish there was a "magic bullet" but there isn't. I hope all of us are successful sways. My grandmother and great grandmother both had 3 girls and a boy last so I know it can happen. But I don't want to get my hopes up too much.

This is a great feeling to have all of us moms supporting each other. Most moms I know have mixed gender children so it's nice to have others understanding me.

[BeckMom89]

I know a high calorie high nutrient diet may sway blue and that might affect my weight however with smart calories like fruits and vegetables and exercise maybe the weight gain doesn't have to be so bad. Just think in some of these fruit juices there are like 110 calories in a 8 oz cup. I'm losing some weight now before our attempt and my hardcore diet begins. I have a friend that is diabetic and just had a son. She eats every 1-2 hours, very nutrient dense, protein and complex carb diet, fruits and veggies, nuts, yogurt, lots of water, exercises and weighed 110 pounds, classic he diet. Her post pregnancy weight is 118! I think it's crucial to have the nutrients and know how to acquire them.

[jmomof3girls]

That is very true beckmom89! I usually eat a high calorie meal with small portions! Except for dinner when I eat pig portions. I think I might lose about 10 pounds if possible before I start my HE diet. That way it'll be easier.

[tm29]

Have you all bought personalized swaying plans? I've managed to access the 21 day sample blue diet and the 5 day diet, but I think there are other sources of information I'm not finding. Could any of you help me? I'd be so grateful.

It's good to hear this 'nutrient rich' / 'smart calorie' food talk - makes it sound less like you have to stuff yourself. I feel really confused about the role of exercise, too. I do high intensity interval running with some resistance circuits x3 per week and I feel fit and bouncy and more muscular than usual. I deliberately started the resistance circuits to increase testosterone and I've stopped doing long runs in exchange for intervals for just 25 mins. But now I have a feeling exercise can sway pink, even if it's intervals and weights... Can't wait to get my plan and resolve some of these questions. Any insights from you other blue swayers would be appreciated.

Would losing 10lbs make you underweight before you start the HE diet? Is that ok? I'm interested in your thinking here. One way I could handle all the HE weight gain is by getting underweight first, but I suspect that would increase acidity a lot and you wouldn't necessarily even it out to an optimal point with the HE. Or am I wrong? Hope so!

[jmomof3girls]

There is a HE shopping list for supplements also. It's in the same section as the 5 day sample plan. Also, there is a guide to understanding how to use the opks if you bought the bundle. Have you went through some of the essays that atomic wrote? They are in the free sections. 10lbs would not make me underweight. I would still be within average weight. I am about 5'4 and 137 lbs. I have a big boned frame so at this weight right now, I look smaller than someone else at my height and weight. I have read that Atomic says it's ok to lose weight before a blue sway but I'm not sure that she would want anyone to go underweight. You could ask atomic what she thinks but I have seen some successful sways where they have lost weight before starting the HE diet.

thanks so much - I'm hopeless at navigating this site. I now cant find the 5 day plan either!!!

Giving up. It would be amazing if this package was all just emailed. I wonder if it can be...

[jmomof3girls]

There is a green box that says custom sway resources. There is a sub forum that says TTC blue resources. It's one of those threads

[atomic sagebrush]

there is a new, green forum that appears to you and you can access it that way. WHen you get your plan there will be a link in it to the swaying resources as well.

[tm29]

Hi - are you all out there still? I'm getting my head round the HE diet and I'm ready to start my supplements. How long are you all planning to be on the diet before ttc? I'm thinking of doing the HE perfectly for 6 weeks but that may not be long enough...

[jmomof3girls]

Hello!! I have just bought my supps and began taking them today. Atomic says 6 weeks is great for the diet so that's when I will begin my diet too!! I guess we will all start around the same time!!

[Auzair]

I ll start from august strick boy friendly diet

Hello All, I am new to this.. Just to introduce myself. I have a beautiful 3 year old daughter and now me and my husband decided to go for another one. It would be nice to have one boy...So i am here to understand whether swaying will work....I finally lost my pregnancy weight and am back to my ideal weight. I am 5.4ft with 130 lbs..I have been reading so much that now i am confused as to which one to follow. Just in a nutshel I think- High Potassium, Sodium diet sways boy. I went to my OBGYN and after blood work she mentioned that my Viamin D levels are really low. She prescribed Vitamin D3 (1000). Does it sway blue?? I am not sure...Also which diet all are following. Can some one please share the boy diet...

[jmomof3girls]

Hi and welcome!!! Boy sways work about 75% of the time if you follow the advice from this site. Not sure about the other sites. Vitamin D does sway boy. There is also other supplements you can take for a boy sway. Are you a dream member? If so, you can have access to the HE (high everything) diet. That's the diet we use on this site. Good luck!!

[Auzair]

Yes according to atomic vitamin Dsways blue i m also prescribed vitamin D because of deficency

Thank you so much. I will start on vitamin d today.a
Also I heard about having Evening primrose tablets after periods till ovulation to increase cm. anyone used that with positive results??? Pottasium is suppose to sway boy too..

Hi Jana - are you planning on starting the HE diet 6 weeks before ttc? I'm trying to work out when I'll do it from. I'll be starting all the supps asap. I really wish you the best of luck. Are you excited? I am!

[tm29]

sorry - I think I missed your replies to this question further down the page. You already answered me. Yes I guess we will all be starting around the same time. I'm starting to get my head round it all now. I still find the idea of eating that much pretty hard, but I'm going to do lots of weights and intervals to increase my appetite.

I'm feel the same way as you!!! I never eat that way or those types of food so it will be a big adjustment for me too! I am going to add exercise as part of my sway so I hope that helps!! We can do it!!

Yes newbee Evening primrose oil gets good results for boy. Have you looked through the old sways? I would look through this site for as much info as possible. It is time consuming but you will learn a lot!! Potassium is best through diet. Eating foods with potassium. Taking too much potassium supplements is bad for health!

[newbee]

Thank you do much for information!! I am planning to start the primrose tabs and vitamin D today.
Any tabs for DH???

[jmomof3girls]

Both of you should be taking fish oil and a multivitamin.

[Boysway]

And folic acid tablets.

[jmomof3girls]

Yes! Folic acid too. Thanks boysway!

[newbee]

Thanks for info about dh . So I started my boy diet today .
Supplements- evening primrose oil tablets, vitamin d3. 5000UI ( I am deficient on vitamin d, do prescribed by doc) , potassium 99 mg.
eat lot of small meals today. Potatoes and tomatoes.
Did done cardio and 30 min weights. I hope I can maintain my routine!!!

[jmomof3girls]

Sounds great! Don't forget to both take the multivitamins and the fish oil. You take folic acid!! We are all wishing you the best of luck on a healthy baby boy!!

[newbee]

Thank you and wish you the same... I will buy the multivitamins and fish oil today.
When are you planning to start..

Hi newbee - are you going to follow the Ingender diet/supps advice? Your link leads to very different advice from the thinking on this site. I believe - correct me anyone if I'm wrong - that atomic suggests it's not necessary to eat very little calcium, nor is it necessary to drink cream of tartar and she doesn't advise raising sodium. that link takes you to some advice which does sound a bit unhealthy to me. But I'm certainly no expert! Just learning.

[newbee]

Hi Tm29, I am sorry for the link going in different IP location. I am not following it 100% , but just thought to share here so that i can get some more ideas from you all.
Currently I am on Multivitamin, Vitamin D3 5000UI, Evening Primrose oil tabs, pottassium 99mg and Folic acid... I also started Weights and little of muscle building..
Can you please tell me where will get the IG diet details. Trying to maintain high calorie diet..but its hard...also i lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks in May'14. B.coz of that my period is irregular...hopefully..i get back on time and am able to determine the Ovulation time ...any suggestions on that???

[tm29]

Hi Newbee - I'm only a beginner at this too. Your supplements sound good, but I think there are others you could consider. I don't feel like I could suggest, but some of the more experienced women definitely could. Are you able to buy a plan?

[sunflower_20@hotmail.com]

Hi there,

I am also trying to TTC boy in October. Hoping everyone can help each other to succeed and answer questions you might have. I have so many questions. Someone please help?

[jmomof3girls]

Newbee- here is a link to the supplements that I found! GenderDreaming Boy Sway Products - Mom Suggested Products (http://astore.amazon.com/genderdreamingboydiet-20) I think these supps should help you with your cycle but you have to ask atomic just to be sure. The HE diet is mostly high nutrition. The HE diet and the IG Diet info are in the dream member section only. If you were to get the $12 membership I would definitely recommend it!! That's where I found most of my important info!!

[jmomof3girls]

Yes, sunflower I can help. What's your questions?

[sunflower_20@hotmail.com]

I have a beautiful daughter already and I have 2 step daughters and I guess it is safe to say my husbands reproduces girls. We would like to try and conceive a boy and starting in october. Is there supplements or vitamins my husband or myself should be taking to increase sperm count and ph levels? I read douching is harmful? Inserting baking soda to increase PH how often do you need to do this and is it right before ovulation?

This is just a start if you have the time to help I would love it

[sunflower_20@hotmail.com]

Is there I can write you private messages so I have them in my in box?

[jmomof3girls]

This is the link GenderDreaming Boy Sway Products - Mom Suggested Products (http://astore.amazon.com/genderdreamingboydiet-20) I'll PM you the link also. I believe you do the baking soda finger 3x a day the week of ovulation and 1 hour before each attempt. Atomic does not recommend using the baking soda finger because it can cause infections. She recommends using preseed which is safe!!

[Midwest_Complex]

I am ttc in September! BSF isn't recommended? :(

[Boysway]

New ladies, you might find this link very useful. There is a lot of information on this website and it can be rather daunting but, sooo worth the read. I have been on other gender websites and this is by far the best and most supportive. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/3305-complete-index.html

[jmomof3girls]

Thank you boysway!!

[jmomof3girls]

I am ttc in September! BSF isn't recommended? (
No, it's not recommended on this site because of risk of infection and people not getting pregnant!

[Midwest_Complex]

No, it's not recommended on this site because of risk of infection and people not getting pregnant!

Alrighty! Thanks! I'll be sticking to just preseed then!

How many times do you ladies plan to DTD? I want to try to do it every 2 days after AF stops.

[jmomof3girls]

I'm going to do every 3 days and 3 times within the 36 hours after a positive opk. :happy:

[newbee]

Anybody checking their Ph levels? I read that we need Ph of CM to be 9 -9.5 to sway blue.
Which is the best way to check it. I bought some strips from Amazon, but I am not sure whether it even works good...please help...

[Midwest_Complex]

I'm not going to check my ph. i feel i am already stressed and obsessed with the diet part..

[jmomof3girls]

I'm not going to check my ph either. I've heard the internet ones work ok though :happy:

[newbee]

hmm..thats good to know...I will opt out as welll..to much to think about..I guess we all are doing enough anyways....

[Midwest_Complex]

I am lifting weight and doing cardio 3 days a week at the gym. I feel sooo sucked in, I couldn't imagine worrying about ph too!


Anyone drinking V8? The sodium content is ridiculous. It makes me almost scared to drink it lol

[jmomof3girls]

Newbee, us boy swayers have a lot to do!! I agree with you!

[jmomof3girls]

I am lifting weight and doing cardio 3 days a week at the gym. I feel sooo sucked in, I couldn't imagine worrying about ph too!


Anyone drinking V8? The sodium content is ridiculous. It makes me almost scared to drink it lol
I am going to be drinking V8. It is recommended for our diet!! I'm going to wait until 6 weeks before and do the best HE diet I can do. It's so much more than I eat now and I don't want to gain too much weight!

[newbee]

i am on V8 too....I like it though...also just a quick thing..is it utmost necessary to keep a track of BBT every morning..I miss it most of the times..also I have the Nexcare...and it takes so long to measure the temperature in it...any thoughts on that??

[Midwest_Complex]

I'm not doing BBT either... lol

does anyone else have doubts? I get so scared... just imagining gender disappointment. it makes me very hesitate to do this. is anyone else swaying in september?

[jmomof3girls]

newbee-I'm not going to check bbt either. I think opks will do just fine. Opks are kinda expensive though so if you don't want buy them bbt will be the way to go!

[jmomof3girls]

I'm not doing BBT either... lol

does anyone else have doubts? I get so scared... just imagining gender disappointment. it makes me very hesitate to do this. is anyone else swaying in september?

Yes!! Boy sways on here get pretty good results but even the perfect sways get opposites. I already have 3 girls and this will be my last child. I do get a bit nervous. I have to say though, I didn't seem to have any gender preference until now. I love love love having 3 girls. I couldn't imagine life without them. They are so close and so precious to us. Having 3 girls is awesome!!!!! I wouldn't have it any other way. If I have 4 girls than that was just my plan in life. And if you have 3 girls you will grow to love it. I promise ��

[jmomof3girls]

I think most of us on this thread are trying around October! September sways are pretty much doing the same things as us.

[newbee]

I agree....its all about just planning...and then just leave on your destiny...we will love a healthy kid...no matter what gender...but till no harm trying...
Well..anyone...checking on Chinese Gender calendar...there are mixed reviews about that....may be just for fun sake....anyone seeing that too??

[jmomof3girls]

I agree. The Chinese calender was right for all of my girls. I know tons of people it was wrong for though. I looked just for fun and October is one of the boy months for me but I would have tired anyway because I want a July baby. What about you?

[Midwest_Complex]

i know, a healthy baby is all we can all hope for!!

chinese gender chart said my last daughter was a boy, so noooo haha

[Midwest_Complex]

i bought preseed and opk's today! i am tempted to start trying this month... lol ahh.

[jmomof3girls]

LOL! Let us know if you decide to!!

[Midwest_Complex]

I kinda want too! Haha I mean, ah idk. I am nervous. 4 weeks enough of a diet you think for a decent sway?

[jmomof3girls]

6 weeks is recommended. How long ago did you start taking the supps?

[Midwest_Complex]

I'll probably def wait. I took folic acid off and on throughout the last month. I take it daily now so I want to keep with it.

[jmomof3girls]

I would wait

[newbee]

Nice....Midwest_ Complex...do let us know..if u start trying early...

[jmomof3girls]

Yes! What was your age when you conceived and your month of conception?

[newbee]

My date of birth is May 10th 1980. So based on this, what should be my Chinese conception month or months for boy in 2014?

[jmomof3girls]

October is the only month left for this year

[newbee]

Hey ladies, :cool:
Anyone else having crazy baby dreams? I dream about having another baby girl and being upset to having twins and being terrified to seeing other family members pregnant! I guess I better blow off steam here than in my sleep. :sleeping:

[jmomof3girls]

Yes, actually I do keep having dreams that I'm pregnant and the ultrasound tech tells me it's a boy and I don't believe her!! LOL I wake up thinking it's real!! So weird. I bet it's all the obsessing we're doing!!!

[tm29]

October is the only month left for this year

Hi Jana - I'm still waiting for my cycle to return after breastfeeding so if it doesn't come this month I might have to wait beyond October. Dec seems to be pink. When I looked up Jan and Feb the result said the two charts disagreed and it could go either way. Wondered if you make anything of that and which chart you're using. I have a feeling I'm going to need to forget all about charts...Annoying, because this is stressful enough without niggles like that in the back of your mind.
Hope you're all doing well. I'm transitioning into the HE diet and feeling great so far. Much better than expected.

[Auzair]

I was using bbt but quit because I was on vacation lol! OPK it is!

I started temping months back but cant get right as i m light sleeper so bbt i don think much matters coz timing doesnt sway high sperm count do

[jmomof3girls]

Tm29- I wouldn't look too far into because a lot of them are different and I was wrong for so many people on this site. I'm also waiting for a normal cycle after the removal of my IUD. I have had an irregular one. I'm hoping that it's normal next month. That's great that you have started the HE diet. The only thing I have started is drinking the lemon water. I stopped drinking diet soda and I'm surprised that I am adjusting so well. I'm going to start eating breakfast next week. I've never been a breakfast eater. I'm glad that we have support here on this site... :happy:

[BeckMom89]

Ladies,
I started drinking coconut water today that I finally found at Walmart. It is called Grace which is second best to Vita. It was great but what's even better is that it ha 500mg of Potassium per 8oz. What is everyone else drinking as far as fruit juices?

[Midwest_Complex]

We're out for now girls. We decided to wait until my youngest turns 3 (in Feb) before we start trying again. Good luck ladies! Hope you all get your boys!

[jmomof3girls]

I will be drinking coconut water daily also!! I will only drinking lemon water besides that due to my bladder problems!! What about everyone else?

[jmomof3girls]

We're out for now girls. We decided to wait until my youngest turns 3 (in Feb) before we start trying again. Good luck ladies! Hope you all get your boys!
We will miss you!! Please find us on here when you come back!!

[BeckMom89]

We're out for now girls. We decided to wait until my youngest turns 3 (in Feb) before we start trying again. Good luck ladies! Hope you all get your boys!

We will miss you! Hopefully when you come back we will have boys and can share our stories of success with you!��

Jana, I've been drinking green tea, orange juice, coconut water, V8 fusion although I find it too sweet, and water. I need to add the lemon!

[jmomof3girls]

Perfect Beck!!

[newbee]

I have been drinking coconut water and lemon water...V8 sometimes....But my problem is that I lost abt 15 lbs in past 3 months and due to this, my periods are skewed up...
Last period was after 45 days...(my normal cycle is 30-31 days). I am kind of not sure what to do...May be just wait it out...also I started with supplements- Pottassium99mg, Prenatal, Multi Viatmin and Evening Primrose oil tabs.

[jmomof3girls]

Newbee-maybe wait another month to see if it clears up. Don't forget to take the fish oil :happy:

[newbee]

Fish oil it is....Will get it..Also I have all supplements at one time before sleeping...is that ok...or i need to eat it at different times??
This week is my time to ovulate...am crossing my fingers for that...

[jmomof3girls]

I take the fish oil and evening primrose oil together twice per day. If you don't ovulate normally, ask atomic what she thinks :happy:

[Midwest_Complex]

Erhhh guys..we are back in! After a few indecisive moments, hubby and I agreed to just do it now. We've been eating steak a few nights a week..what are everyone else's dinner ideas? I hate cooking meat (big factor in why we never eat it! Lol )

[bluebonnet22]

I'm not a girl mom on the HE diet, but I think my DH and I naturally eat a "HE" style diet (and definitely were when we conceived DS). If you don't like manipulating or touching meat very much, maybe try your crock pot? I make chicken or beef or pork in there once a week and eat it tons of different ways (over rice, in quesadillas, in chili, in soups, etc) and it's so so easy! Also, one of our favorite easy meals (that I think is HE?) is spaghetti and meat sauce. We are also big casserole eaters - veggies, rice or pasta and meat all in one. I'm so jealous of your steak!!!! I haven't eaten it since April and we normally eat steak 2x a week.

[jmomof3girls]

Erhhh guys..we are back in! After a few indecisive moments, hubby and I agreed to just do it now. We've been eating steak a few nights a week..what are everyone else's dinner ideas? I hate cooking meat (big factor in why we never eat it! Lol )

Welcome back. I'm actually having steak, baked potatoes, and carrots for dinner.

[jmomof3girls]

Thank you bluebonnet! I value all info from boy moms!!

[jmomof3girls]

I'm used to making a 3 course dinner every night. I always cook meat with dinner. I usually season the meat and put in the oven and bake it. It's so much easier for me that way. Raw meat grosses me out big time but I barely have to handle it that way. We have always eaten a boy friendly dinner but it's usually only my second meal of the day so that sways pink lol. Like blue bonnet says, crock pots are great!! I make spaghetti with ground beef and red sauce often, and it only takes about 20 mins to make.

[newbee]

I am vegetarian, but I cook legumes and lentils every day with veggies....we eat lot of veggies and carb in food...Potato is usually once a week..but now I am eating baked potato every day...any more ideas on the veggeterian diet..I make sure I eat 3-4 hardboiled eggs in breakfast...Please let me know more suggestions...

[Midwest_Complex]

Thanks ladies for the suggestions! I have been using my crock pot a lot... it makes the cooking meat thing a lot easier. And ya, I def try to eat a colorful diet and get as many fruits and veggies in. After reading a few of atomic's essays i started now eating high fat organic cheeses and yogurt daily. I eat handfuls of seeds/nuts throughout the day to keep my protein intake up. I wasnt a huge snacker so this is hard for me. And I miss coffee..I cut down to one cup but I'm used to having 3 a day...but I figured I should do this regardless of gender because that much coffee during pregnancy cannot be good.

[Midwest_Complex]

I started eating eggs daily too..is hardboiled the best? I usually scramble them with veggies

[jmomof3girls]

Newbee- check out this thread http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-boy/4495-vegetarians-swaying-blue.html

[jmomof3girls]

Not sure. I have hated eggs ever since I was a baby :happy:

[BeckMom89]

I had beef tacos with Pico de gallo! How about meatballs and you can add spinach and carrots inside? Or lasagna? Barbeque ribs? Pork chops? I'm hungry again time to chow down. How about we share more meal ideas? I like this! And welcome back Midwest!

[newbee]

Thanks for the vegetarian diet link.

[newbee]

ohh..I got the clear blue ovulation predictor kit. Based on the date i am suppose to ovulate today and I realized that I have lot of watery CM. I did the test and got a BIG O.
Also I checked the CM PH ball on PH Strip.. Got a 8.5 there.. thats alkaline...Am happy I can track down the days.. which i could not before. I am going to test it again next month before the actual DTD... Am happy today..a Big O on the ovulation test made my day...

[ELP]

Best of luck ladies with your bluesways!!!!

[newbee]

Please help- So I am having watery CM since yesterday. And the PH is also around 8..I want to check this again next month to see the pattern so that i can predict the days and time for October. So having watery CM means that this is the time when I should DTD for Boy sway...along with the Coffee for DH and Robottussin for me....Also do I need to check anything else as well..please help...Does ions matter a lot too?? and moon phase...or they are just an old wives tales....

[jmomof3girls]

Congrats newbee!!! Beck- I love your idea about sharing food ideas!

[jmomof3girls]

Thank you ELP!!!!!

I think those are old wives tales. I would start a new thread on the watery cm so that more experienced boy swayers can help :happy:

[Auzair]

Is there any post about how atomic recommends use of opks many thanks???

[Midwest_Complex]

Yeah, I am wondering about opks too!

[Boysway]

Hey ladies.

Newbee, ph isn't really considered in swaying any longer. Having watery cm is perfect. Watery cm and eggwhite cm are just as good as each other.

Make sure you take the Robitussuin at the correct dosage as that makes a difference. Ions don't matter and I'm not so sure moon phases do either.

Are you charting? If not, I find Fertility friend to be very valuable for charting. I also use OPK'S.

When you are unsure of ovulation date it's good to begin taking OPK'S I think about CD 10 of your cycle. Afternoon is best as most LH surges happen in the afternoon. I tend to start using my OPK'S about a week before I suspect ovulation. When possible I try to test around 10am then 2-3pm. Best to hold off from going to the toilet for a couple of hours as well.

[jmomof3girls]

Thank you boysway! How is everything going with your sway? Have you been able to make an attempt yet?

[Midwest_Complex]

Anyone swaying in September?

[Boysway]

I have fallen off the wagon lately. I even almost forgot to start using OPK's this month. Not sure what's going on with my OPK's this month though. I usually get a fade in pattern which started CD 16 (currently CD 18). The OPK's get darker till ovulations occurs. Unless I have simply had too much fluid this morning, fade in pattern has disappeared. I will do another OPK around 3 pm see if anything else has changed.

Dh and I are off to the Dr tonight. Fingers crossed the Dr is happy to go with both options. I would love to actually be in with a chance next month.

[jmomof3girls]

That's wonderful. I'm glad that things are progressing for you. Wouldn't it be great to have a son after all these precious daughters? LOL! Keep me posted!

[newbee]

Boysway.. seems like you are going to try in September..I am getting more tempted too..but will see....how it goes...Plz keep us posted..and we all will pray for ur successful sway...

Thanks Boysway..for all that information. My temp goes all over the place. I use the Nexcare BBT, but I am unable to track the pattern in it. Need to be more patient with it. Will start again...Well..I do use OPK and find it very useful...

[Midwest_Complex]

How do you guys use the opk's? After my period ends, should I do a daily opk? Is there a certain time that is best?

[Boysway]

Midwest and Newbee, yes I will be swaying in August :)

Midwest, When you are unsure of ovulation date it's good to begin taking OPK'S I think about CD 10 of your cycle. Afternoon is best as most LH surges happen in the afternoon.

Well, dh can't have the TRT till he turns 40. So, for now it's special blue pills aka, Viagra. Hopefully they do the trick. In the meantime, I'll see what I can find to reduce Dh's estrogen and increase his testosterone.

[Midwest_Complex]

I have gained 6 lbs while on this diet for the last 4 weeks. Is that a lot? I am trying to eat protein every 2-3 hrs. I feel stuffed and full 24/7. :/

[Boysway]

Auzair, the problem with my cycles is they vary. My cycles go from 31-34 days. I've even had cycles when I ovulated when af was due. I have gained weight since January. About 10 kgs, I don't know what that is in pounds though. It's actually recommended that we do exercise as well. It helps turn fat into muscle and boosts testosterone.

[jmomof3girls]

Maybe you should test everyday of the of the month you're TTC?

[Boysway]

Jana, I am usually good to begin testing from CD 15 (otherwise I go through too many OPK's). I have been known to ovulate around CD 21 as well. Given what my OPK's look like at the moment. I still think I ovulated extra early. It's very frustrating though. This is the first month since January that I haven't obsessed over the OPK's. Argh! That will teach me :( I have also come down sick with a bad cold. Combine that with a heap of night shifts with few breaks in between and it's also a charting nightmare :(

[jmomof3girls]

With my DD3 I was trying to avoid my normal ovulation days to try to NOT get pregnant and I ovulated on cd8. I have always had a normal cycle so it does happen!!

[rubygem]

What is everyone doing so far now that its august? Hope you all are well. I am just itching to start trying this month. I should get af anyday now. I havent been eating too well though but i am taking supplements. My cousin came to visit this weekend and hinted that she was going to start ttc. I really dont want to be pregnant at the same time and I am just picturing her ending up with a boy and myself having a girl. Of course id be happy but id also be disappointed for a while. Any advice? I am driving myself crazy lol

[Midwest_Complex]

For the last 4 weeks I have done a fish oil supp, folic acid supp, & a raw vitamin drink. I also drink lemon water, eat meat daily, upped my protein intake dramatically (gained 6 lbs so far) eat a huge breakfast, and a night time snack, I also lift weights 3-4 times a week. We started BD every 3 days now to increase sperm. I plan to use preseed when we TTC which will be in the first week of September :)

[Midwest_Complex]

I also drink coconut water, orange juice, green tea, & V8 daily. I HATE the v8 lol

[Midwest_Complex]

Rubygem, if you plan to try this month, try to increase calories a lot. I read somewhere that the day you conceive you should have a LOT of calories consumed..helps sway boy. I plan to eat like it's thanksgiving the week we TTC lol with healthy foods obviously!

Thanks for the advice. The HE diet is a lot more food than im used to so im having trouble keeping up with it. If I do try this month ill just have to be sure to eat a lot like you said week of ovulation and use preseed. Ill try to hold off till september though lol. Best of luck to you midwest!

[Boysway]

Grrrrr stupid charting!!! FF has put ovulation at CD 15 due to my temps. I guess we will see around the 17th. That's when Af will be due if O occurred on the 15th. I guess I will have to start taking my OPK's from CD12 now. Argh, that will use up the OPK's quickly :(

I am on a multitude of vitamins :( Fish oil, Co Q10, Elevit, Folic acid, Calcium with vitamin D, Brewers Yeast and Probiotics and chia seeds (omega 3) every time I have cereal/porridge. Around O time I take Robitussin and Wheatgrass tablets and use Preseed.

I drink Coconut water, V8 vegetable juice, V8 fusion juice, Grape juice and pineapple juice. I also drink lemon green tea (hot) and a squirt of lemon juice in water. I am trying to have a few eggs every couple of days. It's best not to ever feel hungry. I try to have protein and carbs at every meal. I really need to knuckle down now though. If I did ovulate early, I have less time to prepare my body for our attempt.

Now that I have to get stuck into the diet, this is what I will try to stick to.

Porridge or cereal for breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, Dinner and a bowl of cereal before bed.
I will try to have more eggs, almonds and fruit and vege. 1-2 cans of coconut water around the week of ovulation.

That's all I can think of right now.

[Midwest_Complex]

It is hard eating this much! I agree. I am so ready to just get pregnant & go back to eating my normal foods & amounts. I try to eat eggs every few days too, but I do plan to bump it up & eat them daily.. I just never feel hungry. DH is all about the diet though & encourages me to eat so that helps.

Jeez, I will feel so devastated having another girl after doing this diet!

Wow, you're doing a lot! I am slacking and I need to start doing the diet properly. I am also afraid though that I if I take too many supplements and change my diet too much it will mess my body up and possibly sway pink! So im trying to do a light he diet with only the most important supps lol.. ugh its so frustrating I just cant wait until im pregnant. Then I will hopefully just accept whatever gender he/she is! Good luck to you!!

[jmomof3girls]

It seems that we are all doing around the same thing. I have to say, I feel quite chubby!! LOL! Boysway, did you buy a plan?

[Boysway]

Jana, Yes, I bought a plan :)
I'm the heaviest I've ever been :( I should also be exercising but it's so difficult when I do nightshift all the time. I added the brewers yeast a few months ago and it did mess things up for me for one cycle. With the exception of this cycle it's been good.

A little tip with the V8 juice. I struggle with it as well. I found it easier to drink if I put ice ****s in it.

[jmomof3girls]

Rubygem- I'm also having a hard time eating this much but I'm sure we'll get used to it.

[jmomof3girls]

I can tell you bought a plan too. We have lots of things to keep up with. I'm trying to follow the diet as best as possible.

[jmomof3girls]

Boysway, do you know if hot sauce or spicy food sways?

[Boysway]

I asked Dr Google, lol. It doesn't look like there is any evidence suggesting it sways. Here is the link from when another member posted the question http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/12377-mums-girls-chili-eaters.html

[jmomof3girls]

LOL!! Thank you boysway, you're a great help!

[BeckMom89]

Hey ladies I haven't bought a plan but I've been eating anything I want as long as it is healthy. I have an app on my phone that says I'm getting around 3500 MG of potassium a day and around 90 to 120 grams of protein. I'm eating a variety of fruits and veggies, drinking full fat milk and eating about every 2 hours. I didn't want to stress it too much. Do you think that's enough? Today I am stressed about it maybe because nursing school is around the corner!

[jmomof3girls]

Yes!!! That is perfect. Eat carbs and protein together at every meal.

[BeckMom89]

It's hard sometimes thinking oh wait is this protein and carbs in one snack or should I grab something else? Normally I'll eat like an apple and peanut butter or cheese and almonds. Right now I'm having ice cream and pumpkin seeds. What snacks do you eat Jana?

[rubygem]

Im cd 31 today.. where is af?? Im going to hold off testing till next week because my cycles do get long some months. Lets just hope its negative because i wasnt ready! Lol. Tried preseed for the first time today just for fun and I love it!!

[jmomof3girls]

I eat what you eat and I have full fat yogurt and nuts.

[jmomof3girls]

What do you ladies think my odds would be if I started trying this month??? Im cd1 today, just starting the he diet but I have been taking supps since june (vit. D, fish oil, prenatal, probiotic, coq10) and I will be using preseed/ drinking robutissin this month. What do you guys think? I just cant wait any longer the suspense is killing me lol... im thinking about going to buy some coconut water for week of o

[Mamato3?]

Ruby- If it was me I would wait to have at least one month of diet since to TTC a boy you don't need that long as if for TTC a girl.
The reason is that if I ended up having a third girl (and since it's my last go) I would of course love her, but I would blame myself for not going 100% with the TTC plan.
That being said, a lot of ladies have conceived boys without the extra effort...

You are so right. If it ended up being a girl I would probably blame my diet length. Sooo tempting though lol

[Midwest_Complex]

Ruby- I was going to TTC this month, but chickened out because i wanted to he on the HE diet for atleaste 6 weeks. So SSeptember it is for me!

[Boysway]

I can't put a link up as I'm on my phone. If you go to the page this thread is on, go to the HE faq and it should help in regards to diet etc :)

[Midwest_Complex]

Are there any coffee drinkers in here? I know coffee isnt a huge factor on either sway sife..but every boy mom I meet says they didnt drink coffee... coffee has been sooo hard to give up

[jmomof3girls]

Just drink one cup per day. All of my friends and family with boys drink coffee. Also, there are tons of successful sways on this site with 1 cup of coffee per day. Or, you can drink green tea instead if you feel that you must give it up.

[tm29]

I'm also having x1 cup of coffee and x2-4 of green tea. I think you're encouraged to drink green tea and coffee x1 is allowed. Have I misunderstood?

How are you all feeling? I'm really getting into the HE diet. The first thing I've noticed is NO MORE LOW BLOOD SUGAR. I love it! I had no idea how much of a diff it could make to have protein with every snack.

I feel stuffed - but full of energy. I'm not eating any carbs other than oatmeal in the morning and juices/fruit with my meals and I've found that makes you feel less heavy. anyone else got any tips?

[Midwest_Complex]

Tm29- that's what I do..1x coffee in morning & a green tea with lemon slices in evening.

One of my fav snacks is cottage cheese with cherry tomatoes. 1/2 cup of cottage cheese has 12 g of protein!

The diet is going ok..I really hope I get a BFP next month because i don't like this constant full feeling. I get heartburn a LOT now.

[Midwest_Complex]

I seriously obsess over boy clothes lately lol

[yogi&booboo]

Hello Ladies,
Can I join you all. I am starting the whole ttc process again after taking a two month break. I was also wondering if any of you gals new what sweetners are safe to use during our ttc attempts. I was told about sweetners that can be safely used with a boy sway. I was told stevia is one. I know there is another natural sweetner called Organic blue agave nectar made by C&H which contains Organic Agave Nectar and is a natural sweetner and I was wondering if this is also safe to use. Fx to you all and our blue sways! 😊💜

[tm29]

Hi yogi&booboo - I asked atomic about this and she told me that stevia is thought to be ok, but there isn't enough research yet, so she advises not using it. I've been a big user of sweetener all my life and it's tough not having it, but I'm finding that eating higher fat ingredients gives food so much more flavour that it can be enough to sweeten things with 1/2 cup of blueberries. I use a tiny bit of maple syrup too, which is more nutritious and lower GI (better for blood sugar) than sugar. When I use full fat milk I find the lactose in milk is pretty sweet too.

Are you on the diet yet?

One of my fav snacks is cottage cheese with cherry tomatoes. 1/2 cup of cottage cheese has 12 g of protein!


Thanks! And that's so good to know re cottage cheese.

Hi yogi&booboo - I asked atomic about this and she told me that stevia is thought to be ok, but there isn't enough research yet, so she advises not using it. I've been a big user of sweetener all my life and it's tough not having it, but I'm finding that eating higher fat ingredients gives food so much more flavour that it can be enough to sweeten things with 1/2 cup of blueberries. I use a tiny bit of maple syrup too, which is more nutritious and lower GI (better for blood sugar) than sugar. When I use full fat milk I find the lactose in milk is pretty sweet too.

Are you on the diet yet?
Thank-you tm29!
I really appreciate your response. I am going to try the maple syrup for sure. I incorporate blueberries in my oatmeal every morning so I think I am slightly on track :) I know what you mean, its tough as well for me not to be able and add a little sweetness to everything

Thank-you again!:p

How do you ladies eat so much without spending a fortune on food?? I find myself eating everything so fast and then having to go shopping again. We can afford to have another child but ive never eaten this much in my life, its really putting a dent in the budget. Any tips?

[Boysway]

It puts a dent in my grocery budget as well, especially the cost of juices. I won't even go into the price of my supps.

[Midwest_Complex]

Rubygem- oh I know!! We never ate meat much and we are almond milk drinkers so switching to buying whole fat milk and meat is hard. We also only eat organic...well ee try too when it's an option, so I spend a fortune. I really HOPE I get pregnant fast...

I attached a picture...I found this juice at Wal-Mart surprisingly. Organic & non GMO..in the boxed juices section. Only $3-4. Check your local Wal-Marts. I went to 2 different ones and found them at both.

Ill have to look for this. Thanks!!

[jmomof3girls]

Yes, us boy swayers have lots of stuff to do and it can get costly. I looked into Stevia and it's very alkalizing as where the other sweeteners are very acidic. Thank you for sharing Midwest!

[Midwest_Complex]

I would much rather ve doing the boy diet then the girl one... I feel so bad when I peak over to their threads. They def have a harder diet to change too imo!

[jmomof3girls]

You're right. I eat the LE diet normally and I can see that it would be harder to switch from eating HE to LE, especially if you're a big eater by nature.

[rubygem]

Hey ladies, can you give me some red meat dinner ideas?? Id like to know what you cook for beef dinners at your house. My boyfriend LOVES beef but Im not used to cooking it at all, and he works during dinnertime at the moment so I have to do all the cooking. Any tips would be appreciated

[Midwest_Complex]

I do lots of hamburger meat recipes, like chili, spaghetti, sloppy joes, meatballs, etc. I also did beef stew in the crock pot with steak strips. Sooo good.

[jmomof3girls]

Yes, I do lots of what Midwest does. I make hamburgers, spaghetti with ground beef, meatloaf, steaks, and beef roasts in the crockpot.

[Midwest_Complex]

I made a really good and easy boy friendly side salad...kidney beans, chopped cucumbers, & diced tomatoes. ..sprinkle it with fresh lemon and add a splash of Italian dressing and salt it...sooo good. I made a huge container and grab a small bowl throughout the day.

[jmomof3girls]

Thank you for the tips Midwest.

Hey ladies just letting you know I will likely back off from this forum for a while. I may stalk a little bit but, who knows *shrugs*. I am having a very hard time with all things ttc and life in general and my depression is back. I will be seeing a psychologist as of this Wednesday. I won't be telling dh as he doesn't need to know. That will only make things worse for him as my moods and his problem are causing his depression to resurface and he gets it worse then I do. Thank you for all your support, I really value it xx :bighugs:

Boysway, good for you to focus on yourself. Dont let life get the best of you. Everyone needs a break once in a while to get their mind back in gear. I wish you all the best!!

Hi Ladies,

I had a wisdom tooth removed and I haven't been able to eat well at all, I have drank V8 and all my other juices and teas. I feel terrible but my sway is in October so hopefully this event won't affect the sway too much. I wanted to see if I add Royal jelly and bee pollen to help out, has it changed anyone's cycle? My cycle changed as it is anyway I was every 25 days and since the HE diet and supps it changed to every 28. What do you guys think? Thanks in advanced!

Hey I have no idea about the royal jelly and bee pollen but if youre ttc in oct. I wouldnt worry about your diet as of now. You have plenty of time. Good luck!

Royal jelly bee pollen is good for fertility, not sure if it'll change your cycle back to normal. Atomic doesn't recommend it because of potential allergies. It does have good results for boy sways though!

[ELP]

I used both RJ and bee pollen in my 2 blue sways and I agree that it is because of the allergy risk that AS doesn't recommend them, you can develop allergies at any age, I recently discovered I was allergic to sunflower seeds, and a few years ago kiwi fruit! both things had never affected me before the age of 35, so who knows what out bodies could change their minds about :) So RJ and BP are definitely a personal choice for everybody.

I was just wondering of you ladies are doing any strength training? I haven't seen it mentioned but I know it was a vital factor in alot of the earlier blue swaying ladies, has opinion changed on it? I will do a bit of digging around and see if anythings changed:) but it should still be a good idea to store all the extra nutrition your bodies are getting as muscle rather than fat, boosts the testosterone levels! Again sorry if this is mentioned a few pages back, just don't want anyone missing any extra blue threads in their bows lol :bigsmile:

[yogi&booboo]

Hi Ladies,
Just wanted to drop by for some opinions.I would like to in advance apologize dropping in more often.

I am a little worried because during my two month break I took birth control. I stopped them on sunday August 3rd. AF started Tuesday following my last bcp which was only 3 days after. I started my Fertility Blend Supplements and Fish oil on Friday August 1st which to date is only about two weeks. I also reset my Clear Blue Fertility Monitor because I never took the batteries out and so I had no choice but to reset and erase the memory. According to the CBFM today is CD 9 and I on day 6 it asked for the 1st test which gave me a high reading and I am sure its standard on a first time use, however this morning I got a Peak and I was totally not expecting it. I feel so emotial right now and feel like crying because we have been bd'ing unprotected since CD5. We bd CD 5, 7,8. I honestly did not expect to ovulate because I did not ovulate when i first had the intention to sway last year. I think I ovulated on my 3rd month. I don't know what to do ladies. I have only taken since I started this round the Fertility Blend Supps, Fish Oil and have been drinking two cups of green tea, lots of water, oatmeal with bluberries and nuts every morning. I haven't done any exercise or weights and that just makes me feel like a complete looser and I feel like if I do get pregnant I just lost my only small chances of having a boy. If today CD9 I got a peak and I just came off BCP is there anything I can do at this time to help me a bit???? Or (I know this is cruel) should I take a morning after pill??? :(( I am so sad and dissapointed and confused and don't know what I should do. Sorry for my rant and allowing me to vent. I will take any advice and your opinions are greatly appreciated. I honestly was going for my first sway in august and i was in the process of loosing some weight and buying all of the goodies for my upcoming sway.

Thank-you again ladies and fx to you all!

[jmomof3girls]

Yogi- I'm not sure how the fertility monitor works. Can you go and buy an opk just to be sure?

[ELP]

I agree with Jana, can you double check with an opk? CD9 seems pretty early, not impossible, but early, how long are your cycles usually? If I remember correctly then you usually get your period roughly 10 days after ovulation, so that would make your cycle roughly 19 days long, have you ever had a 19 day cycle before??
And how does the morning after pill work? sorry for my ignorance:oops:

[yogi&booboo]

Thank-you Janamomof3girls,
It never crossed my mind. I think ill go buy some today.

ELP,
When I first was off BCP last month I was ovulating on cd 17-18 and my cycles were 33 days long. 😢 yes this is really early. I have ewcm and to make things worse my husband (sorry tmi) has been using lotion as lube 😢 I managed to put some pre seed last night but he had first put lotion. We bd'd a little then our kids were knocking on the door so we had to put it on pause lol and so i took the opportunity to put some pre seed in but im sure the little lotion he put will over power the pre see. I am almost 100% positive I am ovulating because I am super tender from my uterus and I always have this feeling when I am about to ovulate 😔 Omy and im devastated. I am also using diet pills so I can't stop drinking water because it gives severe dry mouth and I know I am sure my pee is going to be very diluted. I wish this was all a dream.

Thank-you for your replies ladies!

[ELP]

yogi, I think I am also right in thinking that the body 'tries' to ovulate every seven days (atomic knows more about this:)) so this could just be a keen try from your body, and in fact the real ov will be in a weeks time, so closer to the 16 day mark. I know I would get an almost full line early in my cycle with the cheapie opk's and I would tilt it and turn it and think what if, but the rules are if its not darker its not positive so I would just be getting myself at it lol :)

[jmomof3girls]

I'm wondering if the hormones from the bc pills may have messed up your cycle this month. Why don't you go and get an opk just to be sure and then go from there :happy:

True!

[rubygem]

Im kind of freaking out over here too lol... Im cd7 over here and had unprotected sex this morning without thinking... I am not testing using opk until cd9 or so but swimmers can live in you for up to 7 days right??? Yikes. What do you ladies think are my chances of getting pregnant from that? My cycles are regular 30 day cycles

[jmomof3girls]

I don't think you have to worry too much. I would start using condoms. That's what we do! I get pregnant very easily and I'm not taking any chances. :happy:

[rubygem]

Good idea lol if this time around is anything like with my daughter then I get pregnant easily too

[jmomof3girls]

Yogi- depending on what happens, you should use condoms from now on too :happy:

[newbee]

Hello All, I am back after a long break..I was reading up some earlier posts and someone mentioned about the Weight exercise..I think it really helps to raise the testosterone.
I try to do weights at least 4-5 times weeks. It makes you feel good after all the HE diet...Its hard to east so much potassium..and sodium...the whole day I feel so full...
Also I am not sure, if anyone follows Biorhythms and moon position...it says that Oct 8 is a full moon and its a favorable when you sway for a boy. I know this is not full proof...but all us October swayers want to do all we can do...to sway blue...

I couldn't help but to drink water so I took a test anyway just to see if i sort of came out positive and this is what the result was with a cheapy 99cent opk.

I'm wondering if the hormones from the bc pills may have messed up your cycle this month. Why don't you go and get an opk just to be sure and then go from there :happy:

[yogi&booboo]

Sorry here is a clearer one http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/15/juvyda4e.jpg

[jmomof3girls]

That is positive! The one good thing that you have on your side is that you have several attempts in the fertile window.

[jmomof3girls]

Lmao.. reminds me of learning sex ed in school... use condoms kids!

LMAO!!! Hilarious!!!!

[yogi&booboo]

Booo for me. I guess its team green for me with this attempt. I just poas opk after holding it for more than an hour and there is no dang doubt its a + 😢 Now that I made this boo boo should I squeeze any more attempts? My consciense is kicking in and telling me how horrible I am for thinking about the morning after pill. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/15/5ugehaba.jpg

[Boysway]

yogi&booboo, I'm with Jana. Definitely a good thing you had plenty of attempts in the lead up to your +OPK. Cycles can throw you off. I have spotting and AF will be arriving tomorrow no doubt. This means I did indeed ovulate on CD 15 when I usually ovulate around CD 19-21. Hopefully this will be your gorgeous blue bundle.


I am back, lol. Such a long stay away, rofl. I am in a much better mindset now. Dh tried half a viagra tablet and it worked. There is now a light at the end of the tunnel and I have new found hope. I think everything in life, including TTC and Af coming really messed around with my hormones. I'm still going to see the psychologist though.

[Midwest_Complex]

Good luck yogi!!

And welcome back boysway!! Glad you're in a better place

[Midwest_Complex]

Back to the weight lifting question... I workout 3-4 days a week. I do cardio and weights... i might cut down the cardio now that it's getting closer to my TTC month. My period starts Monday! So excited to finally start this BDing lol

Question, should I start preseed right after my period? Or wait until O week? I've never used any type of lube before... do I put it in right before BD or an hr before?

[yogi&booboo]

Thank-you Boysway and I pray you have your baby boy on the way very soon.

Thank you Midwest 😊

[rubygem]

Do you ladies think its ok for me to add a little bit of brown sugar to my oats? They are so bland but I dont think were supposed to take in much sugar? Its about the only sugar I get in a day.

[3GMomPraying4Boy]

I'm using 1/2 tsp of organic maple syrup to sweeten mine because I think maple sugar sways boy.

[3GMomPraying4Boy]

I was having the same problem and was told that natural organic maple syrup sways boy but within limits as it does have ca in it. So I use 1/2 tsp or less in my oatmeal.

[3GMomPraying4Boy]

Somebody else said to sprinkle just a little cinnamon but I heard although it is alkaline it lowers blood sugar levels and testosterone and causes miscarriage in large amounts so I'm staying away from cinnamon right now.

You can use a fingertip daily, the week of O and on your attempt or you can just use it on your attempt.

[jmomof3girls]

Yogi- I think it'll all work out the way it's supposed to. Maybe it was meant to be this way.

[yogi&booboo]

Thank you Janamomof3girls,
Im nervous and keep role playing in my head what I would tell the dh. Or should I even tell the dh? Would it be horrible of me to keep a secret like this? I don't want to say anything until af or bfp but even if a bfp i am worried he will be upset and I can just hear him telling me its abother girl. I think I would want to keep this fron the dh until i foubd out the gender in a situation like this so he wouldn't be putting me down and reminding me of the mistake I did. I am a hot mess right now 😢

[jmomof3girls]

That is a hard choice. I would just wait until a BFP to tell him for sure.

[jmomof3girls]

I've been lifting small weights here at home and walking my daughter to school and back with my heavy double stroller in this disgusting Sacramento heat!!! I hope that's good enough. LOL!
