sway advice

[mandyp85]

Hi everyone. I have been lurking on this site for a while now but I feel ready to start my diet and would just like a little feedback on my planned sway. Firstly I will mention that I have 3 boys and 1 girl, I feel this will be our last chance to give our daughter her much wanted sister so want to do what I can to help that happen. For my sway I plan to use my daily limits spread over just 2 meals with no snacks.(will mostly be eating lettuce, veg, pasta, rice, yoghurt, raspberries and strawberries, wraps and bread), I will skip breakfast, which I was already doing and I plan to take baby aspirin, Cal and mag supps, fiber capsules, cranberry, folic acid, peppermint tea, antihistamines. I was looking at maybe getting progesterone cream? Also for timing I was going to bd one attempt at +opk. Is there anything that I have missed off that I should be doing or something on my list that I shouldn't be doing? Any advice would be much appreciated :-) thank you. Xxx

I think, and Atomic will probably weigh in here, but I think that you should drop the cal/mag and cranberry. I think everything else looks really good! I hope you get another little girl!

[mandyp85]

Thank you very much for your reply :-) I haven't actually started the supps yet as I had seen that some people take the cal/mag and cranberry and others don't. Do they sway blue/not at all? Thank you, it's so nice to be able to come on here and talk to like minded people. I see you're hoping for another little lady so good luck to you also :-)

Make sure you're getting enough protein and fat on that diet!

Don't do both baby aspirin and cranberry - one or the other and I personally am moving away from using either one of them. I believe baby aspirin to be safer but is still not getting the results that woudl justify the risks. If you use it, no more than 3-5 per week and NOT with the cranberry.

cal-mag is at your discretion, I believe them to sway pink but it's your sway so do what your gut tells you on that.

make sure you only do pep tea AF- 1-2 days before you expect to ovulate.

PLEASE do not mess around with prog cream. It doesn't work, doesn't sway, and really messes up yoru cycle.

IS DH going to be taking anything???

We have gotten neutral results with cranberry and it is not safe, so I just want everyone to stay away from it. I personally do think it can sway blue for some people. DH can take it though If you've already purchased it.

Re calmag, I don't think the science supports it for swaying but some people have felt it worked for them. Didn't work for me at all and I got my 4th boy taking tons of the stuff, then got my girl without it (and no dairy either) But it's your call on that - you need to do what you feel comfy with. Essay here, it's three parts, read all three esp. the third one has a good case against the FGD for swaying http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-girl/610-calcium-conundrum-controversial.html

Thank you for taking the time to look at my swap atomic, I am tracking my fat / protein / calories with the my fitness app so that I make sure I get enough :-) are raisins OK on this diet? My dh isn't going to be taking anything but if I could convince him to what should I suggest? He works as a bus driver, which I'm aware can be detrimental to sperm count so not sure I would want him to take anything that may further decrease it. I will leave the cranberry and also baby aspirin if you feel it's not worth taking :-)

How important is 60 min of cardio/excercise?

I'm not doing any type of excercise.

There are no magic foods, it'a all ok as long as you stick in the overall totals for the day. Some foods are better than others thougha nd as a general rule, some people do believe raisins are slightly more boy friendly.

I would give DH Olive leaf extract in that case and nothing else 500-1000 mg daily, wean off at BFP

It is def. a strong sway tactic, among the best, but not right for everyone and many of us haven't done it (I got a girl without exercise)

[mandyp85]

Thank you. What does olive leaf extract do to help? I will avoid raisins then, just want to give myself the best possible chance so will avoid anything remotely boy friendly. With the exercise does it have to be intense?

[mandyp85]

Also are there any other things you would recommend I take? I wasn't doing anything special when I conceived my daughter, although my food intake was lower as was having a difficult time and I was losing weight so I do agree diet and losing weight are most important.

We honestly don't know how the OLE works. THere was a doctor on here for a bit who claimed to have used it successfully with IVF to get better gender splits (more XX than XY) and our HT gals started using it, and while it was no magic bullet, it certainly didn't sway blue. So we started using it for swaying for people who couldn't use cranberry and the results were good for us. OLE is supposed to be beneficial for sperm health but still sways pink, and it is the only male supp I know that has seemed to be ok with guys who have real low sperm count/quality.

:agree: with the raisins, that's what most people decide to do - no magic foods, but unless you really LOVE something, may as well avoid it. :)

Hard for me to give specific recommendations without a sway plan. :) Some peopel take things like vitex, Saw palmetto, peppermint, but I don't know enough to be able to say if those are right for you or not.

exercise does not need to be intense (can just be walking, but do try to push yourself bit) but it DOES need to go for 60 straight minutes.

My dh hasn't been diagnosed with low sperm count or anything but having been a bus driver for 8 years I'm sure it must have had some detrimental effect, he is also a smoker, eats and drinks very unhealthily, no booze but a lot of Pepsi and lucozade and he is only 29. Would an exercise bike suffice? As it would be difficult to get out and do the exercise as I would need to take my youngest children and it would be too much for my nearly 3 year old. Also regarding testosterone levels what sort of stress would cause them to rise?

[mandyp85]

Do I need to count iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, green peppers, broccoli, mushrooms and apples in my totals for the day? Or are they all classed as low carbs, which you don't need to count do you?

[maidentomother]

You don't need to count those veggies.

Exercise bike is great for pink, just make sure it's AT LEAST 60 min daily.

[mandyp85]

Can I ask why exercise sways pink?

[atomic sagebrush]

I would def. give OLE In that cae.

exercise bike will be fine for pink.

Don't think about stress and swaying, just avoid starting detail oriented projects, competitive stuff when you can, and obsessing over swaying. Do NOT worry about day to day normal life stress, all that is out of your control.

most of those are the low carb vegetables that are free for everything and you have as much as you want, no need to count. Apples are fruit and you count calories for those, but not protein or fat.

[atomic sagebrush]

Can I ask why exercise sways pink?

We don't know for sure but we think it's because it slightly lowers your overall fertility (when done at the recommended level) and also reduces blood sugar.

[mandyp85]

Does it have to be everyday for it to be effective? Thank you for your help. I know dh diet isn't as important but what sort of things would help? He has a high salt and sugar intake, doesn't eat fruit and veg as a rule and generally has a very unhealthy diet, will it harm our pink sway?

[atomic sagebrush]

You can get a girl with all levels of exercise but I believe the 60 6-7 recomendation is the most effective (60 min or more a day, 6-7 days a week)

If he were to just cut bac k on meat overall that may help. Some people give DH soy milk.

One of the biggies hes already doing - smoking. I wouldn't go overboard with other stuff because that has really seemed to sway overwhelmingly pink.

[mandyp85]

I was trying to get him to quit but I think I will stop nagging him for a bit now :-) with regards to potassium, how do you know that you're getting enough when it is not put on the label? I worry a little about that.

[atomic sagebrush]

SElf.com has reliable potassium info but I think the most reliable way is to be sure you're getting at least 1000 mg from SOMEWHERE (which is why I advocate coconut water), even foods that are considered "no-no's" on other sway sites. Then you can pretty much rest assured that you're getting 1500 a day from the rest of your diet, as long as it's sensible. GEtting 1500 for people has just seemed to happen, but getting up to 2500-3500 mg is something that needs to be worked at. If you start off with 1000 a day, then you know you're prob. gonna be ok.
