Anyone planning a Sept/Oct/Nov 2015 sway? Chat here!

[Ttc2015]

Hi sweetthing, your sway sounds good! I will be trying next month. Like you I have twin boys and another son. I also tried HT this year with no luck. I'm nervous but excited too. Sounds like you have done really well with the diet. I struggle but have been getting stricter, all in all don't think I'm doing too badly np but I also feel I need to lose some more weight. Good luck!

[has2gentlemen]

My goodness ladies- it has been a busy few weeks. We went out of town for a birthday trip for DS1 this weekend and apparently, this is my first try month! I had my iud out back on the first and had a bit of bleeding on the 4th but I assumed it was just removal bleeding. Well, we went away and DTD for the first time in over a month, and when I got home today- I had a positive OPK! My cervix is high and open too, but no EWCM, so hopefully that's a good sign. I'm counting the days now til I can test, but not getting my hopes up too high since DH had been abstaining for 2-3 weeks, if not longer. Still trying very hard to stick to LE and I've gone nearly veg for the past week (Eating fish only) and plan to stay that way through til bfp. I'm stuck around 116lbs, which is low for me but not my lowest weight, and I don't feel super confident about our sway if this ends up being my month. Oh well though, can't change it now!

Nan- I've read some of your posts, and I feel like you have a very strong blue sway. I got pg with both my boys while being fit but not exercising at all, so it's definitely not an all or nothing thing. I ate like a pig with them both and as soon as I delivered, the weight fell right off. Once you're pg I don't think you'll have any trouble! Enjoy that cruise!! I'll be on one in December.
2xblue- I hate those dreams. I have had dreams all this week that I'm finally pregnant with our girl, but that our house burns down and because I'm too huge- I can't save the boys without risking my DD. It's so hard to not feel like we'll only get our DG through major sacrifice.

Ttc and has2, those dreams are just horrible. Especially yours has2. Hopefully those dreams will go away...

Hi sweetthing! Good luck with TTC a girl! We are going to have our first attempt also in this month.

Has2, that's exciting you already had your posOPK and you DTD before that! Good luck to you!! Can I ask why you don't feel confident about your sway?

Nann, I'm sorry you feel like struggling with the HE diet but I'm sure you're doing ok! And I totally understand your weight worries but just try to think it's good for a boy sway. Have a great time on cruise!

My AF started yesterday so this is cd2 and this is our first attempt cycle! I'm just so excited but I've been having second thoughts on having a third child even though I know I really want this and would regret it my whole life if we didn't try. Maybe cos first attempt is so close know it feels a bit overwhelming. But I'm ok and we will TTC. I'm probably going to O in the end of next week or early the week after that.

[2xblue]

Ladies, does people know you are TTC? If so what comments have you had?

It's funny everyone has been asking lately are we going to have a third child. We haven't told anyone that we are going to TTC so I just tell them I don't know. Many people know I would like to have a third but DH is happy with two. DH doesn't want anyone to know about TTC so I just need to stay quiet about this and hopefully we can surprise everyone soon :)

[Ttc2015]

Has2gentlemen, I know that feeling. Somehow it's like I don't think I deserve to be getting what I want if that makes sense. I will be so shocked if I do have a daughter and if everything is ok. Silly I know. I, also worried I won't have out enough weight. It sounds like you have done really well though. But like you I have it stuck in my head I would be giving myself a better chance if I could get down to my lightest adult weight. I am trying really hard but snacking is my downfall.

2x I keep feeling like that too! I worry about upsetting the dynamics of the family, as for the first time it really feels like we are sailing along (most of the time), things are getting easier, the boys get on well and we are really able to have fun as a family. But then like you I think I would regret not trying for ever. It is natural to feel worried about change, anything new is scary but only for a short while. It will be worth it in the long run. I have started telling everyone we are ttc. Only a Coles few friends and family know about swaying and they are supportive and quite interested but I think deep down probably don't believe in it! If I do get pregnant I think most people will think I'm mad, it's just not the norm to have more than 2 or 3 where I live. I'm just crossing everything that if we fall pregnant it is with just one baby. Twins are fantastic but I'm more than happy with one set!

[has2gentlemen]

I don't feel confident about my sway for a few reasons. I didn't start on the diet until the beginning of July and we've had to do a lot of tweaking to the limits and raised my calories in August because atomic didn't want me to lose any more weight. I'm also not exercising for the same reason (I do walk a lot, but no formal exercise). DH just started ole on the 4th and I'm really, really bad at remembering to take my fiber. I also know ph isn't as important, but (tmi here) I find it pretty much impossible to avoid O during BD and had multiple strong ones this time.

I did j&d pretty much immediately though, since we were in a hotel and didn't want to mess the bed.

The only people who know we are TTC are my parents. My in laws never wanted us to have one baby, let alone 2, or 3. When my DS2 was born premature, we told most people then that we were probably done, so people will be surprised if/when we announce another baby.

I think you have been on the diet long enough to give you a good chance. It sounds like you have lost a good amount of weight and that can only help. I haven't heard of ole, DH just on cranberry and licorice root, what is ole for? I do worry about my PH levels too, hoping that rephresh will help and the diet/alcohol/antihistamine.

[Quinn31]

Wow I've missed a lot lately! And I must say

Ttc2015 don't listen to people.. What they think and how they live their life has no bearing on yours or how you should feel. I struggle with that daily. /: I constantly have to listen to my mother in law say the same things. And I also constantly feel negatively towards my sister in law. She had a girl first. Then got pregnant again why I was pregnant with DD and of course they're having the boy I hope for some day. Not only did they get the first grand baby, but they also got the first boy too. And I constantly get jealous and angry and bitter over how unfair it is.. But I do EXACTLY what you do! I wouldn't trade my daughter for 5 boys!!! And I scare myself thinking if something every happened to her how horrible I would feel for ever wanting a boy as badly as I do.. :( chin up though! You have great support here cuz we all understand you completely! GD is so hard to grasp for those that have never experienced it.. So we can't expect them to.. But we will always be here for you! :) virtually :p

As far as my diet I'm still struggling.. I went to meet my OTHER new nephew (yes I have two now.. Salt in the wound) but it was so fun but I binged all weekend.. Which is okay for a boy sway.. But I gained 7 lbs!!!! NOT OKAY!!!! So I've been running every day this week.. I know it sways pink, I just cannot handle being this over weight:( and I've been watching my calorie intake. I know there's a sweet spot for swaying blue with calories and exercise.. But I'm so used to LE.. So this is so much harder than I thought it would be!! I constantly battle every day: focus on my weight and body? Or focus on swyaing boy??? What's more important???? I go back and forth daily I swear.. /: anyways, vacation coming soon though!! Cruise for a week end of this month then right into our ttc month!!! :) 5 weeks till we do THEE deed!! :p or deeds.. Haha:) hope you all are doing better than myself with your sways!!

Nann, I'm in your shoes!! I was still 8 pounds heavier from my second dd and since I've been doing HE, I've gained 7 more! I feel so gross. Plus I have no idea how long it's going to take to conceive this time. My firs two times were a few months and my last dd took forever!

I've been eating really high nutrient foods and good fats but it's making me fat! My belly especially, my husband actually called me soft the other day! [emoji34] I still need to eat more fruits and vegetables though.

I also want to tell people that I'm purposely eating like this but I don't want anyone to know I'm swaying so they just think I'm getting fat.

What are you doing to workout? I'm doing weights for 30-40 minutes four times a week and starting "fertility yoga". The other days I run or walk depending on my energy level. I'm working out more than we're supposed to but I haven't lost weight so I figure it's okay.

I've lost about 8lbs. Which I guess when compared to the size I started at, isn't bad, but then I see girls on here losing 30+lbs and still getting opposites so I worry. I was about this size-maybe smaller- when I got pg with DS2, and then I also had breastfeeding and close spacing (got pg 8mos pp) on my side. I've been really good with the diet other than making changes to it, I had maybe 5-6 cheat days total since July and even with those factored in- my averages were still well within the limits. The alcohol has been hit or miss for me. I try to remember, but some nights the last thing I want to do is have a drink.

DH takes olive leaf extract (ole) every fall for immune system boosting and to help with his blood pressure and according to what I've read on here, it also helps sway pink. It's not something atomic is recommending yet but it's a fringe benefit since he was already taking it. He can't do licorice because he has high blood pressure and kidney problems and he didn't like the risks of cran so we chose to skip it. He is doing soy and lots of diet drinks though.

I think the biggest part of my worry is that I feel like I didn't do enough to get a girl. I know the laid back sways are seeming to work great, but I just have this sinking feeling that if I do get my bfp this cycle- it'll be a boy.

I think it will be hard for all of us not to feel like that! After having a couple/few of the same gender and wanting one of the other so badly.......well I for one can't help feeling I'm only good at making boys! It's hard at times to stay positive. I have seen a few times people who seem to have given up, relax a bit and then unexpedly fall pregnant with their DG. To me your weight seems low, I'm sure other things you have done will help too. how long until you test?

[has2gentlemen]

I'll probably start testing in a week. I'm not sure based on my opks and secondary signs if I O'd on Tuesday or yesterday, but as of today my opk is negative again so I figure I can safely assume I have by now. Tuesday was super dark but I've been high, soft, open and wet since Monday. Usually right after I O my cervix closes up and gets firm and it hasn't yet so I'm not sure what's up.

[Ttc2015]

Good luck with the test! I'm still trying to work out when I O. Started testing a couple days ago to be safe with strip and digital. Day 12 today so hopefully get a positive soon. Then it's only a month until we try. Have had a bad day for diet, skipped lunch because we were busy so have snacked a lot on bad foods, def gone over the limits.

I am naturally an LE girl but I had PLENTY of cheats when I was ttc and had two girls. I was actually gaining weight when I got pregnant with my first DD because I had just gotten married and stopped watching what I was eating. I would just eat a lot of low fat food and not highly nutritious food. I was also a runner so I wasn't really building muscle. I do have to say that I cheated a lot, like every weekend and went over my calories I was trying to eat. I was five pounds over my desired weight when I got pregnant with both girls.

[2xblue]

Thank you ttc. I know it's natural to feel this way about adding a new family member, can be a scary thought at times. Usually I'm ok and excited about the idea but some days I think about it too much I guess. I'm kind of worried about the newborn stage. All the sleepless nights and having two very active boys around. Maybe I will manage it somehow :D But today I felt really at peace with having either gender. I really really want to have a girl but a third boy would be lovely two. No matter what gender it's still our baby, maybe looking like his/her brothers. Having said that I know I will be very disappointed if I don't get my DD this time but I'm sure I will love a boy aswell. Haha, I can believe how you just want a one child this time! Even though twins are certainly great!

Has2, even though you feel your sway wasn't good enough it's always a good thing you have changed your lifestyle to more pink friendly. And like you said you have been really good with the diet, that's great. Good luck with testing!!

Quinn, are you already TTC?

This is cd5 for me, well almost cd6 as it's almost midnight here. I think my period is finished by tomorrow so I will start using OPKs. I'm going to start using RepHresh too. Is anyone else using it?

Nice to hear who you have told TTC and swaying. Sometimes I feel so tempted to tell someone about swaying but I don't feel comfortable doing that. But it would be so much easier. Especially my mom sometimes wonders why I'm eating this way cos I used to eat so much differently before. Also many people have started commenting how much weight I have lost and have been asking what's my diet like.

[Quinn31]

I want to tell people that I'm swaying but will be embarrassed if it's another girl. I just want to explain why I'm gaining weight. I feel like a fatty!!

I'm on cd7 of our third month trying. I have a dr appointment to possibly get on clomid if I'm not pregnant this month. I've been pregnant twice in 2-3 months but with my last dd, it took a 11 cycles and IUI/clomid. My hope is that was a fluke and I'll get pregnant quickly with a boy!!

[Nann3r]

I'm just like you quinn I'm choosing not to tell people I'm swaying cuz I'll feel silly if it's a girl again.. A few people know of course.. But it's not public knowledge. I have 5/6 weeks till our first attempt. So scary how fast it's coming up.. With DD we just decided to stop protecting instead of "trying" and it took us 6 months. But again we were actually trying.. We just "pulled the goalie" so to speak :) so this time will be interesting with actually planning and tracking ovulation and TRYING to get pregnant this time how fast it will happen. Hopefully it's a one hit wonder :)

[Nann3r]

And better yet a one hit wonder boy!

[Am3a]

Hi girls,
I'm 2 months into the LE diet; skipping breakfast, gone vegetarian, having more fibre than I've ever had in my life, and exercising 4-5 x 60 mins per week.

But... I'm 2.5 weeks past when my period was due. I'm usually a strict 24 day cycle girl! And I'm 100% not pregnant.

Anyone else had this?

[emoji254]

[emoji254]

Hi there

This literally just happened to me last week!!

I am usually pretty regular (since I've had my boys especially!) then I was 12 days late.

I stepped up my diet limits and had some full fat dairy and eggs. I started getting spotting for a few days then finally AF arrived!

I was looking online at other reasons for it happening and a lot said about major diet changes such as becoming vegetarian. Hopefully it was just that!

[Boyzmommy]

I m on my cd13. No O as of yet. I m trying this month too girls. Bern on le diet for 6 weeks now. But i delay breakfast cant skip it totally. I m using mfp for my calorie intake. Im esting 1200 cal a day skipping red meat. Eating chicken as protein
Am i doing it right

[Ttc2015]

2x I'm exactly like you, I am dreading the newborn stage again! First time round I had a difficult labour, was so not expecting a boy and I think I was in shock/a bit scared about it for a while, and he had really bad colic and screamed for 12 weeks and breast feeding was very difficult, then 2nd time I had twins plus a one year old, so although I was more relaxed it still felt very new and the lack of sleep was torture! I feel very out of practice now but I love the idea of having a singleton and being more relaxed/confident about it. I'm excited to see how the boys will be with a baby sibling!

Did anyone see that video of the lady who after 6 boys found out the gender of her 7th (a girl) when she cut open a pink cake?!! Her baby has been born and she has uploaded a film of each of her boys holding the new baby and talking about what it means to them to have a baby sister. It's absolutely wonderful, they are all such kind lovely boys and all adore their sister.

Am3a I had one of my shortest cycles ever last month, I tank it's very common for swaying to affect this.

Boyzmommy tht sounds good. I think the aim is for 1500-1800 cals a day, low fat low protein, and avoiding high nutrient foods. It's better for the protein to be coming from plant based sources but lean meats like chicken must be better than red meat? I'm trying to cut out meat completely but still have occasional bit of fish.

How often are people taking Fiber?

And are you thinking of asking DH to abstain or are you planning on frequent release?

[Ttc2015]

Oh and I also am hoping for a one hit wonder, don't think I can keep this diet and exercise up for much longer!!! Both times I fell pregnant it was in the first month of trying, and ended up with 3 babies! I really shouldn't expect it to be as easy this time, kind of feel like we are pushing our luck a bit.

[kk1304]

Hi. I was swaying a couple of months ago, only to find out that I wasn't ovulating after depo, so lacked on diet. Was bleeding twice a month, so got on nuvaring this month to control that, and will sway in October. I have 2 girls. I will be taking prescribed Clomid 50mg to help me ovulate. *Note: I just had 2 molars pulled 2 days ago and am on Amoxicillin for 10 days, hope it doesn't interfere with my BC this month!

Since timing doesn't sway with Clomid (I read), my plan is to DTD every other day after AF is over, Diet (lots of salty, red meat, bananas, tomatos, potatos, dairy, eat cereal/oatmeal every morning and keep BS up), Robitussin, Prenatals, extra Folic acid, Lipton Green Tea, DTD Doggy with Pre-seed. For DH, Men's One a Day 50+, Diet with me, and caffeine before we DTD.

Good Luck ladies!

[2xblue]

Quinn, really hope you get BFP this cycle! Good luck!

Am, yes the LE can cause that. Hopefully you get your AF back soon! My last cycle was few days longer than normally. Now lets see how this cycle goes. This cycle is our first one TTC so I hope I don't ovulate very late.

Jennypenny, glad you got your AF, seems like full fat dairy and eggs might have helped!

Boyzmommy, I think you are ok. How many hours do you fast? I think too that you are eating little less cals as recommended but do you have a lot of weight to lose? As long as you stay in the limits of LE you are fine.

Ttc, how old are your boys? Can't remember. Yes the lack of sleep is torture! I can imagine having a colic baby... My boys sleep very well now, usually through the night not waking (except DS2 has started to come to our bed at the night like every other night) so I get a good sleep even though they wake up really early so I'm really worried having a new born and I have to wake many times a night now that I'm used to having a good sleep. Luckily the hormones help alot during the first weeks when having the newborn!

I've been trying to hold steady with my weight as I've lost enough now but now I've lost about 0,5kg. I've increased my cals to 1700 a day (was eating 1600) so maybe I should increase it to 1800?

[2xblue]

Kk good luck! Hope you get your bfp soon!

[Ttc2015]

They are 6 and 4 now, also sleep through the night but up early. I keep telling myself it will only be for a short while and this time all my boys will be at school so I will have most of the day by myself with the baby. I really want to enjoy things a bit more this time. I also had the added stress of my mum being diagnosed with breast cancer both times I was pregnant. She died almost 3 years ago and this has made me even more desperate for a daughter x

[sweetthing]

TTC2015 That is one of the many reasons I want a daughter too. My mom passed away from cancer about 10 years ago. I had such a great relationship with her and I would love to have something like that with my own daughter. I also have 2 sisters, who are wonderful. Some days I would love it if I could get another set of twins, especially if they were girls, because I think having a sister would be great too.
Do you mind me asking, were any of your abnormal embryos girls? That is the one thing that kind of gives me hope is that we did produce one girl, it was just abnormal, but at least I know now that there are girl swimmers up there. :pinksperm:

[kk1304]

Kk good luck! Hope you get your bfp soon!

Thanks!

And girls i dont exercise at all. Took clomid this cycle but havent O yet
Fingers crossed.

[Boyzmommy]

Should i add something. Replen or anything else

[bertiebear]

Hi all! We have 2 boys: 4.5yrs and 2.5yrs old. Now trying to sway pink. We did 1 cycle of IVF in July hoping to be able to do PGD, but our 2 embryos didn't make it to the day 5 stage, so now we are trying it the "natural" way. But my cycle is off now, which I didn't know could happen after IVF. My August period was WAY late, which is not my norm. My REI doctor put me on progesterone to trigger my period, but then I didn't get a period only to realize that the bleeding that I did have during the progesterone period was likely my period. So we missed the window this month, too. I'm trying to keep the stress/anxiety at bay by telling myself that this just gives me more time to the sway. I'm not good with the diet. I'm trying to be more conscious about what I'm eating, less snacking, less breakfast. Good part is that I'm doing the exercise. I was just starting a running program (Couch to 5K program) in June, but this month I'm doing the 60 minutes of cardio 5 days a week. For me who has also been more of a couch potato than exerciser, that's basically a miracle. I haven't lost any weight, though, but I feel slimmer. :) Hoping TTC ASAP.

[Ttc2015]

Sweet thing seems like we have a bit in common! I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, it's so tough. Although I'm terrified of multiples again, like you if it were girls it would seem less daunting and as I also have a sister I'm very close to I know what you mean about giving a daughter a sister. She is so important to me now my mum has gone, that've a close female relation who totally understands my craziness! Although saying that I'm sure lots of ladies are also very close to brothers. I also have a brother, there is a big age gap and we are close but not like with my sister. He looks at me like I'm bonkers sometimes lol! I'm very much a mothering big sister with him and think I annoy him quite a bit! Yes we produced girls, all abnormals. It was a pretty equal split, think we got one more girl than boy actually, 8 girls in total. My biggest worry was we just couldn't make girls, it didn't occur to me they would be 'abnormal'.

Hi Bertiebear! I also find the diet hard, goes to show if there is something in all of this I have been completely leading a 'boy' lifestyle!

Boyzmommy I'm going to use rephresh, apparently it doesn't make a huge difference in the sway but I'm trying everything I can to be sure! Use about 12-24 hours before BD as it can kill off the sperm.

[Ttc2015]

I feel really bad but need to rant and here is the only place I can do it! I'm so mean. I love my SIL she is one of life's genuine lovely people. I know she is ttc at the moment, she has a boy already. Both her and her husband are a bit overweight, exercise moderately, and have a diet high in red meat. I can't see they are doing anything that would help sway pink, but for years I've had an irrational fear of falling pregnant at the same time as her and me having another boy while she has a girl. A huge part of me would LOVE for her to have a girl, but I just would be so upset, especially after trying HT and now putting everything into a sway, if she ended up with a girl without really trying and I didn't. I'm already mentally preparing myself for it, to try and not show how upset I would be. I feel like such a horrible person :(

[Am3a]

Ttc2015 - if you're mean, I'm just as bad. My sister has 2 sons and before she conceived her ds2 I should have and could have told her about this site and swaying but I chose not to. I still should tell her but selfishly I'd be devastated if she got a dd and I didn't. [emoji22]Eek! Just read that back! Buuut... If my sway works, I'll definitely tell her!

Oh it sounds bad when you read it back doesn't it?!! It's not that I don't want her to have a daughter, she hasn't mentioned that she has a preference, I would love a niece! It's just the fear that I have so much vested in this and I really never wanted to be pregnant at the same time as her. Both my pregnancies everyone I knew had girls and it really felt like someone was rubbing salt in the wound.

Anyway.....now on day 14 of my cycle and still no positive from the opk. Last cycle I didn't get one at all and had my shortest recorded cycle of 30 days. I'm worrying I'm not ovulating now! Or if I miss or mis time my fertile window when we try next month!

[Nann3r]

I feel really bad but need to rant and here is the only place I can do it! I'm so mean. I love my SIL she is one of life's genuine lovely people. I know she is ttc at the moment, she has a boy already. Both her and her husband are a bit overweight, exercise moderately, and have a diet high in red meat. I can't see they are doing anything that would help sway pink, but for years I've had an irrational fear of falling pregnant at the same time as her and me having another boy while she has a girl. A huge part of me would LOVE for her to have a girl, but I just would be so upset, especially after trying HT and now putting everything into a sway, if she ended up with a girl without really trying and I didn't. I'm already mentally preparing myself for it, to try and not show how upset I would be. I feel like such a horrible person :(

Omg I'm the same way. I'm horrible... My sister in law got pregnant a few months after me... I told everyone I knew she was having a boy.. Cuz I had a girl and I knew she would get what I wanted.. Sure enough they invited us over for a "grill out" ....I knew better... I'm not stupid.. They never have family over.. I told my husband he could go, but I wasn't going to go. Cuz I knew it was a gender reveal.. They just didn't wanna tell anyone.. I saw right through it. Surprise! It's a boy..... And I was still pregnant with my girl.. I was so upset. As if GD wasn't bad enough on its own.. He's now over a month old and I haven't even met him. They live 30 mins away.. They are so disconnected from our family on their own terms.. But they already have a girl.. It's SO not fair.. They would end up with the perfect family.. Ugh! Why and I so mean and bitter!!! I'm just planning on having a girl again even with all of my swaying :/ the odds of me getting a boy too just seem even further away since she already got the boy..

And I know I'm mean with it too cuz they had a miscarriage the very first time they got pregnant before their girl.. But they didn't care what gender they had then. since they were so afraid to lose another. So they had a girl and I was relieved. So then I fell pregnant and was so hopeful if get the boy.. Nope.. Girl.. Oh hey they're pregnant again and guess what? They got ur boy... :( stupid crap.. Lol!

[Ttc2015]

Oh Nann it makes it so much harder when everyone around you appears to have what you want the most.....but quite often it isn't as simple as that. I wish I had at least one close friend who also had all boys too. I like to think my jealousy or whatever it is is the GD speaking, the irrational me, as I would never normally vibe so uncharitable. Maybe I don't deserve to get what I want!!!!

[BoySiege]

Hi all, just wanted to jump on this thread as we are in the midst of our TTC a girl attempt. We have 3 boys (13, 8, 4). Just wrapped up one attempt with no success this round. Been on the LE for about 1.5 months, with no exercise (but willing to change that), I'm already fairly small, but could still afford to lose a few extra pounds. Also doing FR release, thighty whities, hot bath before attempt, aspartame everyday, Zyrtex and Rephresh about 12 hours before attempt, and then one attempt @ +OPK, with immediate J&D. I'm thinking I better drop one of our methods or it might take forever to conceive. I do this every time though. I really really want a girl, and then once the failed attempts start adding up I get impatient, and voila...3 boys later. I really want to give it my best go this time around so only want to do what really works. This will definitely be out last baby. Any recommendations on what I should drop (or add)? I have spent days, not hours on this site pouring over the info, but it seems to have changed so much over the years and sometimes I feel like my head is spinning. Thanks in advance! Love this site so much!

Hi boyseige! I would try lying fir at least 5 mins after BD not jump and dump straight away x

[2xblue]

Ttc, I'm sorry about your mom :( That must be so hard. I lost my dad when I was 10 yrs old and I still miss him so much. Those feelings are normal what you told about your SIL. I can totally understand.

Sweetthing, sorry about your mom too.

Hi beartiebear! Sorry your IVF cycle didn't work out. Good luck with swaying!

Hi boysiege! Like ttc said maybe you should try to lay down for 5min before J&D. Hopefully you will get your BFP soon!

I'm waiting for posOPK. I probably O on Sunday or early next week. It's going to be full moon lol. Can't wait to have our first attempt. I started to use Rephresh but will drop that if I don't get pregnant this cycle.

[Ttc2015]

Ooooh good luck 2xblue, not long now! Xx

[2xblue]

Thank you! When I started the LE diet I thought it would be forever until Sept/Oct but actually it went pretty quickly!

Just did my exercise, went running for 60min. Can't remember who is doing the exercise? What kind of exercise are you doing?

I've been so tired this week. DS2 was sick and he was awake almost the entire night for couple nights. Just trying to think it's probably good for my sway that I'm tired but omg I was tired, and still am. Have to go early to bed this evening.

Have a great weekend everybody!

[Ttc2015]

I'm doing exercise! I'm doing 5 mornings a week, one long run, 3 gym sessions (treadmill and elliptical trainer) and one long walk at a very fast pace. Weekends are too busy with family stuff. I have def put in a wee bit of muscle as weight loss tailed off then I put on a lb. scales now broken and I'm glad of it! Can feel my clothes are getting looser and I'm doing much better in the diet. Also got my positive opk on day 16 the other day, so all set for our first try next month. It has come around quickly, I'm nervous but excited too! X

[psophia]

Ugh I'm doing terrible at this LE diet I can't seem to figure things out, I've gained weight lately! Although I've had company. I thought I ovulated a week ago but just got another surge today so I mustn't have ovulated last week and am now. Plus last two days I've been eating like crazy. I feel like I've for sure messed things up and will have a boy if I get pregnant this month... LE sigh.... I seem to do worse if I feel pressured. 😣

[Ttc2015]

LE diet is hard! Don't be too tough on yourself, apparently best results are coming from people who aren't super strict. I'm sure if you are just managing to lower everything a bit from what you normally eat then that will help. Are you testing for ovulation?

[psophia]

Yes ov tests and fertile signs. I had two lh surges so I'm guessing it was the second that was real

Sent from my SM-T330NU using Tapatalk

[psophia]

Plus had ewcm the second time I surged which I'm also worried about as I'm usually dry. Almost hoping I'm not pregnant this month. Although we're only a couple weeks post vasectomy reversal so I think it's unlikely!

[jennypenny]

Hiya,

This probably is a stupid question, but can anybody reassure me that with every 4 days that means every 4 days unprotected?

Read a post on a different thread, and somebody said they have done very 4 days protected, but unprotected on the day that's falls within their fertile window.

I had always thought the every 4 days was to save you doing opks, where you have one definate attempt within your fertile days.

[has2gentlemen]

Yes, it's unprotected every 4 days. The idea is to take the stress of opks out of the equation but still maintain the single attempt in the fertile period. So for example you'd start at cd4, dtd cd 4-8-12-16-20-24-28 etc. If you also wanted to dtd on cd 5, 6, 11, or 18- that's when you'd need it to be protected.

Thanks for that! That's what I thought, but just got a bit confused !

Is anybody else feeling a bit nervous about how they will feel if this doesn't work? Have read about three peoples failed sways (hate saying failed as all babies are miracles!) In the last day. I then read their sways everything looks absolutely perfect! Way better than I am doing. It just makes me worry how I will get over the disappointment if this doesn't work.

I suppose it is a kick up the butt to remind me that this is just to sway he odds slightly and if I am very lucky it will go my way but there is a still a strong chance it won't.

Remember as people go on not getting a BFP, they drop things that sway heavily, like exercise. Most of them recently dropped that. Hang onto what works no matter what- diet (always stay within limits, especially fat, and plan cheats), keep one attempt either at positive opks OR BDing every 4 days, and keep doing exercise if you start it (it does not have to be intense- light walking for a hour counts!!!). Everything else is back ground noise. Those that were successful did these and kept them up! You hear about people loosening on the diet, those got got a DD may have added "forbidden foods" (there really are none- you can eat meat but still stay in the limits) or upped calories a bit. This is fine as long as you stay in the limits (40-60g protein, 40-60g fat, and 1500-1800 calories) which those that got a DD did. As time has gone on, I'm a firm believer that sticking with Omega 6 fats (canola, vegetable oil, palm oil, etc) and avoiding saturated fats is key.

Another aspect that intrigues me is alcohol. Most that got a DD drank spirits (vodka, rum, gin, etc), low alcohol per volume white wines, or light beer from AF-O.

FX and GL to you!!!

[psophia]

I can't do the exercise so I do nothing lol. And I sick big time at the diet. But I have cut out alot of protein, stopped weight training, trying not to snack and sticking with one attempt. Hoping my hubby's lower post vas reversal will help sway too. I'm nervous about the couple pounds I've gained from not working out. Eeeeek!

Sent from my SM-T330NU using Tapatalk

[2xblue]

Jennypenny, usually I'm trying to avoid thinking about it much as I want to be positive about my sway but of course there are times when I think what if it's going to be a boy... I've been reading those failed sways too and it always makes me sad for those people not getting their DG and it makes me very nervous about my sway. I have decided that during my sway I'm trying to be positive and when I get pregnant I start preparing myself for a third boy. DH is worried that what if our sway fails and how I will cope. I have two boys name
that I like but haven't thought about girls names, too scared to do that.

XX thanks for that! I needed that to stay positive! It's good to remember to keep up with the diet, exercise and one attempt until bfp :)

My friend had her first baby yesterday. Before she got pregnant she told she only wants girls. They were team green but she was sure the baby was a girl. I was convinced it was a girl. But it's a boy. I hope she is ok. She sent me a message that the baby is so tiny and lovely and she seemed very happy. I'm just so used to that everybody gets a girl around me so I was very surprised this friend had a boy.

I'm waiting for my +opk so we can have our first attempt. I'm going to o later than normally. I'm on cd17. Today I had some color on the opk test line as it was almost white before. So I guess I will have +opk soon, atleast I really hope so!

[XXforhubby]

Don't worry if you can't hack the exercise psophia! Just work your way up to being strict with the limits of the LE diet (remember there are NO forbidden foods! [emoji3]).

Oh and just a gentle reminder- don't feel like you have to add supplements to your sway beyond fiber and folic acid/folate. I made that mistake with myoinositol (Pregnitude) and it had dire consequences on my fertility and sway. Just read my sway and you won't be tempted! If you don't have a specific health condition, or if Atomic/your doctor hasn't recommended it- stay away from it!

Also, if you are the kind of boy mom that has a competitive nature or tried to control your environment, please don't treat your sway as ,"if I do X,Y, and Z just right then I'll get my DD", or don't view it as a competition with yourself to keep doing better. I fell into this trap last time and I completely missed the whole point!!

Basically don't do what I did and you'll have a better chance! I learned the hard way! Even my poor DH tried to tell me to let things go, he didn't mean the diet, exercise, or one attempt, he meant all the other stuff and my attitude towards TTCing. I also think the opks and temping fueled the competitive nature/obsessing over trying to do things just right.

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading!!! I just want to help anyway I can [emoji6]!

No it doesn't at all! You'll see in some of the threads that I was always on the hunt to do better and to try and fix what never needed fixing to begin with. I was a hot mess!!

I would say that I DID stick to the limits of the diet, exercise, and one attempt. I talked about BDing every three days or everyday through fertile window, but my DH didn't want to. He wanted to stick to what works. Basically, I should've listened to my DH!!

I'm always here to help anyway I can! I've been on the boards for a while and am an old hat at this!! Plus, if I can help someone avoid the traps and mistakes I fell into and made then it was worth it!!

[Ttc2015]

I'm not tracking my limits, found it too much work/stressful and quite hard when making home made meals. I've just reduced everything and cut out snacking and am almost totally vegetarian now. Think I'm doing ok, lost an Ok amount of weight and still able to function! Fitting into pre children clothes for th first time! It took a good month or two to get used to the reduced amounts and fasting but finding it ok now.

Good luck 2xblue. The only thiNg I'm a bit stressy about is missing positive opk. Hope you get yours v soon! I'm asking DH to abstain but unpredictability of when I will ovulate might make this difficult to time?

So many little girls being born at the moment. im like you 2xblue, for the first time ever I'm being positive about my chances but know I will be preparing myself for hearing "it's a boy" once I get BFP!

Does anyone know why fiber helps sway pink?

Does anyone know why fiber helps sway pink?

It helps to prevent absorption of excess fat and fat soluble vitamins, A, D, K, etc.

Ah, thank you! I'm only taking it once a day after evening meal which is my biggest. Often skipping breakfast and lunch is light. You think this is ok or should I take it more?

[XXforhubby]

That is your call. It is probably fine if you're not having a fatty meal at lunch.

[2xblue]

Ttc, I take fiber twice a day. Like XX said it's probably fine if you're not having fat at lunch. I have 3 meals a day and have fat at lunch and dinner so I take fiber before those. In the evening I don't eat much fat so I don't take fiber then. And it's recommended to take it twice a day the fiber I'm taking.

I had +opk yesterday so we had our attempt last night! I'm excited and nervous.

Oh wow good luck!!!! xxx

This feeling will last until boys are a little older. Then it doesnt matter what gender ur kids are.

It's ok to feel a preference for gender. We have feelings and trying to suppress them before we have dealt with our feelings only hurts our relationships more. It took my DH until DS2 was 6mo before he began to bond with him and now that he is 2yr 4mo they are super close!! He just had to deal with his feelings on his own time, yk?

Be kind to yourself and know it's ok to be disappointed if it doesn't go the way you hope. When we sway, gender is up front and center making it challenging even for those of us that truly don't care about gender! That's how I was when I found out about DS3. I was shocked my sway didn't work and felt shell shocked after hearing the news. I've only wanted all boys but swaying made me feel ok about the possibility of having a DD. I'm over the moon about our DS3, but I would really like for my DH to have the DD he longs for.

Best of luck to you!

Aww glad I'm not alone!! I must admit I cried after I found out DS2 was a boy.. Despite always saying I wanted two boys and a girl! I feel so awful about that now because he is an absolute beaut and complete pleasure to look after!! Plus the fact the boys have each other is lovely as I didn't have a sister til I was 15 and always wanted one! I just want a girl for me.. For the wedding and the grandkids it's a bit different with boys? And I can't imagine boys/men wanting to go for lunch and shopping they would sooner go for a pint with dad and watch football! I may be completely wrong obviously but I can't help how I feel.

I do feel as though I'm being spoiled and ungrateful sometimes as all children are a blessing and for them to be healthy too is all I should want [emoji20] it's really not nice feeling jealous when you find out people are having girls but I do and im really not that sort of person!!

[Ttc2015]

Don't feel bad poptart, there are lots of people who feel like this and I don't think we can help it. I certainly wouldn't choose to feel this way. Having a daughter is just so ingrained in our visions of ourselves, it almost becomes part of our identity and it's very hard when it doesn't happen. But none of us would change our sons for anything. I must say I'm so fed up of the lazy stereotyping that everyone, including myself, does. I'm a firm believer that you can have whatever kind of relationship you choose to have with your child. Ok, so it's unlikely my boys will want to come shopping with me or out for lunch and a gossip, BUT we can find other ways to be close and spend time over common interests. It might not come as easy as it would have with a daughter, but anything you have to work at is worth it ten fold over. I know plenty of mummy's boys who are super protective of their mums. I even have a friend whose father helped look after his elderly mother when she was very unwell with Alzheimer's - and he had a sister, but she was just not as close. X

[XXforhubby]

My oldest son is so the type who would grab lunch with me and go for a stroll at some park afterward to talk about this, that, and everything in between! Just the other day he told me that he loves our walks we take to the park (I walk with the boys in the stroller for an hour and we end up at the park for them to play before heading back home.). He said he loves talking with me about stuff!

We create the type of relationships that we want with our children. We can have and do anything we want with them- the time is now while they are young!

[bertiebear]

This is the first month we are TTC a girl with the sway. I've been doing a "modified" sway, with mostly exercise and supplements, hard for me to adhere to the diets. I"m on d11 of my cycle and doing the OPK. This past week, we just moved to a new place and I got a bad head cold so I didn't do as much exercise as before and forgetting my supps so I hope it might still work for me. I've been preparing for the sway since beginning of september.

We have 2 boys, too, and DH and I have already come to terms with having a 3rd boy. I really just want another baby, but when I think of the mom-daughter relationship that I have with my mom, it makes me yearn for a girl. Also, all the stuff about seeing your daughter become a mother. That's what hits me right in the gut.

What if you have sex every other day or everyday.

I know weight training sways boy but I get depressed without it. If I weight trained everyday intensely with eating low protein low cals wouldn't I be in theory making myself more Acidic and not gaining much muscle because of the calorie restriction and low protein? Would that still sway boy?

I weight trained everyday and ate only chicken and Greek yogurt for proteins. Low calories, low sodium, low carbs. Pretty much low in everything. I was training for women's physique competition so I was lifting daily but I would do double the cardio. So if I lifted for an hour, I ran for 2 hours. Etc. and I got a girl! So honestly I think you are totally fine weight training as long as you're calories are low and you stay eating more acidic low calories meals! Stick to white meats! I cut out ALL red meat. Oh I was also doing protein powder in yogurt/strawberry smoothies. :) wasn't trying to sway girl, but unknowingly did! Keep lifting! Keep those calories low and up your cardio!

Thanks Nann3r I have some hope now 😊

How are you getting on Nann? I think we will be making our first attempt in a week or so. Feeling so nervous and scared! Think may have left the age gap between the kids a bit big, so worried about coping with a baby again! Good luck everyone X

[Nann3r]

Ttc2015 same here! I'm on my last day of AF so we'll see! I'm nervous too.. Cuz mine are so close in age! DD1 just started teething and is slowly becoming hyper and mobile.. It's got me thinking of how hard this will be while pregnant! Haven't changed my mind yet though! But scares me a bit!

[Ttc2015]

I had a close-ish age gap between my first and twins (had 3 under 2) and it was daunting but it was all still fresh in my mind and I felt much better prepared 2nd time round. Yes it's a bit chaotic but you aren't really getting much sleep with the first anyway so I thought it was a good idea to just go for it again and the chaos only lasts a short while. My boys now get on really well(most of the time!) and are like a little gang. It's going to be such a shock to go back to sleepless nights and breastfeeding!! I'm mostly scared about the horrible GD feelings, and how everyone will be gossiping about me getting pregnant again! It's very unusual to have more an 2 or 3 here.

[goodmom]

Hi ...

I m planning to make an attempt in nov . I m swaying for boy ... actually i did conceive in june but unfortunately had a silent mc in sep at 12 weeks ... so i m all geared up now and getting ready to make an attempt in nov ....

I hope all the ladies trying ....get their bfp soon with their dream gender babies ....xx

[Nann3r]

Ttc2015 Ahhh I'm so worried about GD happening again.. And I KNOW people are already talking about me having a boy or not.. And once I get pregnant it'll just keep coming /: and the questions ugh.. I wish I wouldn't have set myself up for failure the first time with my outward want for a boy! That's exactly why I'm not going to find out gender till D-Day! :) so I can't hopefully try to convince people hat I don't care anymore!

[Nann3r]

And welcome goodmom! So sorry for your loss :( praying all goes great for you this time around!! Healthy baby first and then lord willing- your boy!! I want to boy too! So it's nice getting to meet other boy swayers out there! What all have you done so far for your sway??

Pretty much everything you're doing!

Prenatal
Folic
Fish oil
Vit d
And a few others like cassava, tribulus, l-arginine, coq10.

Been eating more red meat too! Working out daily but not like I used to. Less cardio more weights. And I'll be taking robetussin from AF - O!

Our first attempt is actually in a week or two! About to finish up AF now. I'm hoping it'll take the first time cuz I have a really regular cycle. Nothing out of the ordinary. Pretty much like clockwork! So we'll see what happens!

[goodmom]

I will also use robitussin 5 days before O ... Are u going to use preseed as well ?

[Nann3r]

I know it's not recommended by most Gender Dreaming admins, but I'll probably use egg whites! Just cheaper and I can use a lot rather than have to go buy more preseed. And then lots of big O's for me! :) what's your plan for DTD and frequency and timing and such?

We are doing every other day from AF to O, and then at least 1-2 attempts on day of O!

[goodmom]

I am not sure but this month i got a lot of ewcm sorry tmi but tht was my first ovualtion after mc ... so m just 50-50 on preseed ...

My ideal plan would be O-1, O and O+1 ... but lets see how things will be when i will ovulate ... but i hav no plans of unprotected dtd before ovulation ... dont know m just scared ...female sperms of my dh is too strong i guess lol ...

[Nann3r]

Haha yeah I'm not taking chances either before! So we are doing protected from AF - O and then 1-2 tries 12 hours or so after first pos opk!

Do you know why it isn't recommended???

I hate to butt in to these threads, I really do, but I have to for the benefit of the people who may not read other threads and are only going off what one person chooses to do.

DO NOT use egg whites. It's not because I work for Preseed and like making people spend money (because I don't and I don't). It is because it a) doesn't work and we get equal if not better results than the other site without them, b) cuts odds of conception by a lot and most people who used it did not even get pregnant til they dropped it c) because it can raise your pH so high right around ovulation when your cervix is wide open that you give any microorganisms in your VJ or on hubby's bizness a straight path right into your uterus where it can cause infections and miscarriages and d) egg whites THEMSELVES can have microorganisms that grow in high pH (like salmonella among others) so then that's doubly bad.

If you can't afford Preseed, no worries. Don't use it. Your own natural EWCM is much better than Preseed anyway. But please DO NOT use egg whites. Our miscarriage rate among blue swayers is so so so much less than on the "other site" and our times to conception is so much faster!

[Nann3r]

I do know the cautions with it. And I've battled with it for a long time.. I just can't afford preseed and I have no CM.. Like none.. It's not even that it's acidic or not (which the little I have is acidic) but even that aside, I'm as dry as a bone down there /: I don't know what other options I have! :(

[Nann3r]

Really I'm open to suggestions! Is there anything cheaper and safer?? So I can avoid egg whites?

[Nann3r]

Atomic while you're here-

I bought folate a while ago (not cheap) so I've been doing folic acid up till now cuz I only have enough folate to last 10 days.. Will the folate give me a a leg up than folic acid?? That was kind of my intentions with waiting to take them between AF and O.. :) for that finally boost of folate instead of folic acid!

[atomic sagebrush]

Nann, it's entirely up to you if you want to use it. I do know many who have and didn't die or anything. I don't personally get why you'd use something that doesn't even work as a replacement for having no EWCM (I got a boy with no EWCM so it is possible), but that is up to you. The thing is, for every person who reads this thread and posts, there are 100 others who don't and this may be the only thread they read and then they decide based on your post that egg whites are a good idea when they are a terrible idea and never hear the other side. I'm not trying to b--you out, I'm really not. I have to think about the others who are reading this thread who may never ask me a single question.

If you are capable of multiple orgasms I would just have one, before hubby makes the deposit. You release more alkaline fluids with orgasm and they are a fine replacement for actual eWCM.

[atomic sagebrush]

Really I'm open to suggestions! Is there anything cheaper and safer?? So I can avoid egg whites?

Nothing. Nothing is as cheap as it gets and a heck of a lot safer than egg whites. :)

Another suggestion above.

Nann there is an October 2ww in trying to conceive forum, was going to wait until was actually in 2ww to join in. I keep getting cold feet too, think it's natural, have put so much thought into this can't believe it's actually happening!

[2xblue]

Ttc and Nann, you are so close now having your first attempt! Good luck! I'm now cd11 and I think I will have +opk tomorrow or day after. I've been having little cm and very mild cramps whole week. Also opk is getting little stronger so I really hope I will O sooner than last cycle when I had +opk at cd19.

My friend is pregnant with their third. They have two boys and yesterday she announced they are having a girl! I'm really happy for them but can't help feeling jeaulous. It feels like if someone else is lucky to have a girl after two boys then I can't be that lucky as someone needs to get a third boy. But like I've said many times I also know many families with two or three boys. I can just imagine how happy my friend is right now. I want to experience that too...

[Nann3r]

2xblue I totally understand what you mean.. My sil had a boy for their second. They already already had a girl so they have one of each now.. /: so I'm like ok the odds of us both getting what we wanted are getting smaller.. I won't be that lucky.. There's a girl I'm friends with that just found out she's having a girl after 3 boys! And I totally get what you mean that you wanna feel what they're feeling! I want to experience that total relief and excitement that u don't have to worry anymore and that everything worked out and that it will all be okay! I want that feeling so bad.. :(

So are you making you're attempt then today or tomorrow??

[Poptart32]

2xblue I posted about this not long ago! A good friend of mine and my SIL both found out they were having girls after 2 boys and I cried! What a selfish b*tch!!! But I couldn't help it obviously im happy for them but I can't help but feel envious which is sad! X

Yes I feel horrible having such gender disappointment cuz I personally know people that can't have kids. I also feel horrible being bitter at people who get their way and get both genders.. So it's nice to have others who feel the same so I know I won't offend anyone or catch anyone off guard with my selfish bitterness! :) my husband is so tired of it I know that much!

How do all of you feel about your sways?? I keep going over everything in my head hoping it's enough!

[Ttc2015]

Just got my positive opk a day earlier than expected. Feeling ok about my sway, probably could have been stricter on diet for longer, started 3months ago but only really tightened it up 2 months ago. Ate like a pig yesterday. Exercise been good, at least 5 one hour plus cardio sessions a week for 2months. We have both been good at remembering our supplements. DH will have abstained for 7 days. Any more tips greatly appreciated! Feeling nervous!

[Nann3r]

Sounds like a great sway! Super happy for you and praying for you! :D

Funny you mention it- I'm trying to sway blue twins! Obviously I'd be happy with one, so the blue sway is my focus first and foremost, but I'm trying a couple extra things to sway twins! Most of which are just theories, but I figure it couldn't hurt!

I've been doing the HE diet and supplements but for twins I've been taking EXTRA folic acid (said to cause multiple ovulation) and cassava root supplements (also said to cause multiple ovulation)! I've also been adding cassava chips to my diet. They're just air popped cassava chips with a little bit of flavor on them. Pretty tasty actually! So I suppose we will see if it all works!!! :)

I searched high and low to see if anyone anywhere on any site successfully sway twins in general. Found just a handful (most of which were testimonials on the cassava supplement website and Amazon who bought cassava for fertility) so who knows! Like I said- couldn't hurt! :D

[Nann3r]

SOS swaying buddies!!! I got a +OPK sooner than I was expecting!!! Got that smiley tonight at 8:00pm!

When is the ideal time to try?! Not even for gender I just mean in general! 12-36 hours after +OPK is such a huge gap.. I've been charting bbt.. So that in mind, when should our attempts start??? We probably won't be able to get our first attempt in till tomorrow evening! /: is that a problem?

[goodmom]

Nann3r the ideal way to go would be 3-5 attempts in fertile window ...after u get +opk... this is what i know ...may be others might help u more ... all the best of luck ... for ur attempt

I don't think you can sway for both sexes? I wouldn't imagine so anyway. For girl twins Id follow the comments above.. LE, folic acid and clomid would also increase your chances of multiples and sways girl x

Going back... I'm not confident with my sway as I cheat most weekends [emoji85] we both take our supps and one big change is frequency. We used to BD daily with my boys and now we have one attempt! I have also stopped taking all the vitamins I used to take and eat a lot of simple carbohydrates no whole grain. X

[Nann3r]

I'm in the same boat. I'm not thrilled with my sway. But then I tell myself the people in the "outcomes" data on GD probably had cheat days too. Probably missed days of supplements and probably forgot things here and there. So that helps a little. For me anyways! I did the HE diet, but I wanted to lose weight.. So I was lifting and walking with restricted calories.. But the calories I was eating were HE calories at least. So tht stresses me out..

The goal though is that we try our best! And I have to remind myself of that all the time too! :) I'm sure your sway was great!

[psophia]

Thanks alot nann3r. ... I've been doing bad with the diet too and even gained abit. Sigh. Plus I don't drive so I walk alot which i know is more a moderate activity thing. So pretty much all I'm relying on is abit less protein and low sperm count haha. Oh well even strict ppl get opposites. I'm hopeful my no muscle mass and meek personality plus previous baby girl will also factor in somehow

Well I'll just post what I messaged you since it's not sending for some reason!

Basically I'm doing two things to sway for twins. Taking extra folic acid and taking cassava. Both are theories of course. Studies have more to prove folic helps than studies do on cassava, but I figure I'll try anything if it's not harmful.

So for folic I'm taking 4000mcg a day! Seems like a lot, but anything extra will be expelled through urine. But studies show it can cause hyperovulation- releasing more than one egg.

And cassava is a wild yam that's specific to a South African region. The people there eat it regularly and are said to have more than normal ratios of twin pregnancies. They say it's like a natural clomid so to speak. But again- it's just a theory. You can buy the cassava root and cool it yourself- but I've heard it's very bitter and you HAVE to know how to cook it properly. I resorted to cassava supplement pills. To get the full affect, it's recommended you take them regularly for 30 days prior to conception. I've done my best to do that so we'll see! I also bought cassava pops! They're individual bags of little popped cassava chips with a little bit of salt on them! I've been eating those as much as possible and then daily from CD1 - O!!

Again- all are theories and don't have a TON of evidence to support them. But many swear by them.. So I figure why not :) I'll keep you posted!!

I've never thought about her wedding hmm that is a good point that'll be fun. I'm such a girly girly girl too. I think there's something to the maternal dominance thing. I'm a skinny but soft no muscle mild tempered mom and so are most of the other girl mom's I know. Some of the boy mom's are abit more dominant personality wise and more naturally well muscled. Hmm interesting. I hate being so soft and as much as I love it I'm trying hard not lift weights lol

Makes sense I am quite a dominant person! My Dad is a firm believer in the maternal dominance thing and has said I will have all boys! My mum reckons if I have a girl she would be my 5th [emoji15] which DH will not do! So im sort of holding out for all boys. I have a great big list of boys names and 3 for a girl [emoji85]

Will do!!! And clomid for sure sways twins so if your doctor recommends it for whatever reason I would def take it! Soy also is said to sway twins. I just don't do soy just it sways pink too. And I don't wanna take too many chances! I really just want a boy


And it's funny you all mention maternal dominance. I'm over here total tomboy.. I always picture being the mother of the groom. I love motocross, skateboarding, snowboarding, sports, etc.. I lift weights when I can and have decent muscle tone! (Aside from my left over baby weight..) and somehow I got a girl.. When I heard girl I'm like wait... Wtf.. I have no idea what to do with a girl.. I can barely dress myself... Let alone a baby girl.. Lol! So she wears hoodies and jeans every day like her mom ;) I feel bad more people assume she's a little boy.. I'm letting her hair grow out super long of course so that will help.. But for now it's like "aw such a cute little boy!!"

Doesn't help her name is Rowan.. So when people ask "what's his name!?" I have to go "well HER name is Rowan!" Some people catch on and others don't haha. I seriously have no clue what to do with one girl let alone two, if this next one is a girl too.. Ugh..

[melisha78]

Oh I did clomid. I had a boy.

Psophia before I had kids I thought I was a girl mum, could not imagine having boys, and then I had 3 in less than 2 years! Just about over the shock of it! You are right about stereotypes being bogus. I think it's a lesson I needed to learn, boys are just as awesome as girls. Now I'm so used to raising boys.

So has anyone seen that super moon?!!!! If you believe in all the old wibpves tales I've chosen a bad time to try and conceive a girl!

I don't know that there is any way to sway for both girl and boy, since the swaying methods are so different, you couldn't do both.. It'd have to be one or the other. I would say just make sure to are up to health and well nourished daily. Take the supplements to sway twins.. But if you want a girl more than a boy, maybe sway girl while taking the twin supps.. That way if you don't get twins, at least you know you tried for a girl and may still get her! And I couldn't tell you if bfing sways twins.. I've heard it sways pink. But that's all I know. I stopped breast feeding when DD was only 6 weeks old. Couldn't handle it anymore. Wasn't working for us. So I've had normal cycles now for 6 months!

It is, just make sure you buy from a reputable company. Somewhere you know it's not fake like a placebo and where you know they've prepared it properly in their capsules. But yes it's safe to take. Many women have had great success with it in regards to getting pregnant with healthy babies, and a handful have resulted in twins.

[Ttc2015]

Here in the uk it's the 3rd super moon in a row, today it's full moon. It's massive and orange. Full moon supposedly sways blue, new moon pink. And this is a supercharged full moon!!!

I have ID twins, Drs told me they don't really know what causes ID twins. Am horrified at the thought of having twins again, part of the reason we have put off trying again. Really hoping extra folic acid doesn't affect ovulation...... One thing they said is your chances of having twins increases the older you get (bit like your biological clock panicking as time is running out and releasing more than one egg) and I was also told that taller women tend to have more twins as we are naturally built to accommodate more! Not sure about the truth in that but I am almost 6ft tall. I know another tall lady who had triplets naturally.

[melisha78]

Which one do you recommend nann3r. How do you take it also. I just got my period and I am breastfeeding. My period was only for 2 days though.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Nann3r]

Yeah I'll find the site I used for you. And it's just like any other supplement. Just calls for 1 a day for 90days. It will be harder to track when exactly you ovulate since you're irregular already due to breast feeding. Are you tracking O??

[melisha78]

So lucky ttc2015. I really want a girl and 3 kids. I have boy right now.

I've heard the age and height thing too! Which I have neither going for me that's why I was like bring on the folic and cassava! I'm 5'2" and 23 years old haha :) not good for twins! So will see if these silly theories worked! :)

[Ttc2015]

Melisha I would get a plan from atomic. You could try and message her directly or ask about the twin thing on the right part of the forum, think she will struggle to read this. The only thing I have heard about increasing your odds of multiples are fertility drugs like clomid probably because they are helping to boost your ovulation????? Even then probably more women have singletons than multiples using these.

[melisha78]

Sort of. I am ttc in May. I bought this thing called bellabeat that helps track your ovulation. I am going to buy the sticks soon. Also my question if I see high fertility then I have sex for a girl then after o no more.

Alright so now I'm stressing out..

CM is completely dry.. I was supposed to ovulate today.. But my OPKs all weekend were negative.. Now I'm worried I missed it.. I was testing opks starting on CD 11 though.. All negative.. Am I going crazy here?? :( ugh..

Help!

[hopper]

Nan I wouldn't stress, just keep BDing. I wouldn't think you have Oed yet. If you are basing your O prediction on past cycles that counts for very little, each cycle is different. One thing I will say is your attempts seem quite pink friendly, have you thought about trying SMEP? That's how our second boy was conceived. Basically dtd every second day after AF finished and once you get your +opk dtd every day for three days in a row. Worth looking into. There's a free Kindle ebook that explains it better than I did x

Personally I never O until at least CD17 ( well that was this cycle!) And usually it's CD20 or later - and I have two boys. Actually quite a few pink swayers on the TWW thread will probably tell you they conceived their sons with late O. I personally think it's blue friendly. Sending tonnes of blue dust hun and best of luck with your attempt this cycle.

Sent from my KFTHWI using Tapatalk

[Nann3r]

That's great to know thank you! I'm much more calm now:) I'll keep charting everything. Yeah unfortunately me and DH rarely have time to DTD.. So I was trying to get us at the bare minimum on an every 3 day routine while trying to conceive. And then when O comes, bd every day and multiple times a day when possible. But yes I agree I need to DTD more often!! What is SMEP???

[hopper]

Ah that's good hun! I know what you mean, we are swaying girl and so every three or four days is our aim and even at that we were finding it difficult to make the time!
SMEP is the Sperm Meets Egg Plan. When we were ttc #2 I heard of it before we started so when AF finished on CD6 we DTD every other day. I didn't get my +opk until CD21 so we had an attempt on CD21, 22 and 23. It's similar to what you are doing except we were doing every second day throughout our cycle. DH said I better be pg at the end of it cause he was beat!

Sent from my KFTHWI using Tapatalk

[Nann3r]

Yeah I'm going to have to try to do that since O is being stupid..

I'm also frustrated cuz the line was faint on CD 15 then a little darker CD 16, then I test again CD 16 at night and it was fainter again.. It went back and forth ugh.. Hoping it was just because it wasn't a morning test..

[hopper]

If you get a chance to catch up on the Nov testing thread hun I started testing with opks this cycle on CD6. Right from the start it was a fairly solid line, just a little lighter than the control line. Every day it was the same and then around CD12 or so it started to lighten off. Then CD16 AM I tested and it was a little darker, tested again that avo and it was really dark and again that night and it was +opk. Got my solid smiley digi opk the next morning but my surge started the night before. We only caught it cause I was testing 3 times per day - POAS addict here lol. One of the girls on the TWW thread said that you will get a better more accurate reading on your opk if you test closer to the afternoon so I started testing with SMU (second morning urine) and it was way easier to see a progression then. My SMU tests were always darker than FMU ones!

[Nann3r]

So I tested again this morning.. It's even fainter.. Should DH and I bd every day through CD 21??? In hopes I ovulate and just didn't catch it on OPK??? Temps haven't changed.

[hopper]

Personally I would, just in case you O late. My new motto is: If in doubt hump it out ;) Best of luck Nan :)

[Nann3r]

Hahah you just made me bust out laughing :) thanks for all the help. I'll keep you posted and head over to the Nov Testig page too! :)

[Poptart32]

I used to test 3 sometimes 4 times a day!!!!! Oh the shame! Now I test once between 12-1 and ive picked up my positives no problems whereas when I morning tested I never did as the LH doesn't peak until late morning/midday so you don't get an accurate reading xx

As often as possible! I always start with a large breakfast though. Protein shake and two eggs. So I get about 35-40 grams of protein in before 9:00am. And then a snack between there, little more protein. And then meat for lunch.. Usually white meat though. My macros are usually around 40%carbs 35%protein and 25%fat

Oh and my shakes always have 1-2 bananas in them. Just 1-2 frozen bananas, protein powder, green superfood powder and a little bit of cacao powder. So basically protein, potassium, antioxidants and greens! :)

I def like both cardio and weights.. But when I got pregnant with DD I was running 3-6 miles daily give or take. And I was lifting too. But it was low weight high reps. So outside of running throughout the day, my gym routine consisted of running a mile as fast as possible, lifting weights fast- high reps lower weight, then ending on a 30 minute HIIT circuit. And sometimes if DH wasn't done lifting I'd go run another mile or sit on a bike. So I was brining fat like it was my job! And my calories were way too low for the amount of calorie burn. So I always had low blood sugar. Ate a very light girl friendly diet. And vuala- I have a baby girl. Haha even though I thought for sure I would get all boys.

My routine is def cut way back from that. Only run a mile a day, moderate pace. And lift for 30 minutes- slow and heavy. Then end on a circuit still, but it's usually only 10-15 minutes.

[Nann3r]

I'm a personal trainer so I can't bring myself to cut things out completely. I'll just modify them and reign them in a little!

[psophia]

Girls who lift have the sexiest bodies tho. Boy sway is my dream cause I love to eat healthy and weight train. And I love to snack. But I wanna girl so bad. I'm jelly of you nann3r lol. My muffin tops get out of hand even tho I'm thin if I live a girl friendly lifestyle. I just can't give up weights and eating healthy or I get so depressed about my rectangle shapeless skinny flabby body. So I'm compromising... lower protein. Low ish calories but the rest is normal. I have to stay happy too I think. ... have u noticed any good body changes from lifting heavy yet?

Yes! I have actually. I start lifting heavy a month ago, and today I bet I've increased my weight 10lbs minimum with every exercise. So I'm doing angle flys at 20lbs each hand now when I started at 10lbs! And my cable pull downs started at 20lbs and I'm up to 50lbs! My curl I started at 10lbs and I'm up to 20lbs too. I haven't tested my squat yet or my bench.. I never go with a spotter so those are hard to find a max when I just lift alone. For now tho I'm benching about 90lbs and squatting 100lbs comfortably! hacksquat I'm up to 200lbs! :) so I'm not seeing a whole lot of physical change over these 4 weeks.. But I am totally getting stronger! I haven't weighed myself in a month so I'd be interested to see if I've lost any weight or maintained. I started at a flabby 145.. So I'm hoping with the protein increase and the strength training I've maintained bare minimum.

[Nann3r]

Clothes fit better though. They still fit, but they just hang nice. I just feel firmer ya know?

[Nann3r]

I walk better too since I've been lifting so much more! My back is tighter and firming

[psophia]

Whoa those are good increases good for you! Ya I know when I'm consistent I gain inches on my bum and lose inches on my waist it's the best thing ever. My clothes always look better when I'm training. It's worth it to me.

I think O is definitely on the horizon! Post a pic of todays one when you do it hun x

Ladies I will be signing off for awhile. Received word my fsh is 12 and my oestradiol and lh are low. It is pretty shocking considering I'm 33. We have a free consultation with the RE we saw before but my numbers were normal then so I don't know if anything can be done. Dh has said he won't spend money this time around so who knows. Good luck to you all.

Ooooh exciting Nann! Don't know about swaying blue, but I think we made several attempts with our boys, I was a bit control freaky - remember thinking 'this will work, I will get pregnant!' But we never tested for ovulation so got lucky with timing. I know so much more now, ha ha!
I haven't been on this thread for a while. I got my smiley face yesterday afternoon so had our 2nd month of trying yesterday. In the 2ww again now.......

I would continue to BD at least once a day for the next 3 days to be safe and eat sh*t loads of good food!!! Good luck [emoji8]

Yes, eats lots of good food! I'm putting off eating today! Have skipped breakfast but would love to be stuffing my face!!, out for Sunday dinner tonight which isn't great timing but will try to keep portion small! I'm naturally such a blue eater!
