Hi Ladies New Member Here :)

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Hi ladies! New member here! A little about myself? I have three boys :) 6, 2 and 1 and JUST found out im pregnant! And now im terrified!
I cant even say that we swayed because technically we didnt :/
I od on the 20th of december, tested positive for pregnancy on the 28th so 8dpo earliest ever for me, (holding hope maybe a girl haha)
Me and DH were both taking Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin c, folic acid and cranberry, additionally i was taking saw palmetto and hubby was taking licorice root, 450mg 3× per day
I ovulated cd 16, we baby danced on the morning of cd 15, about 3am on cd 16 and 3.45 am cd 17 but my cm was changing to creamy by then,
I know i dont have the best timing for a girl but do i have hope?
I couldn't of ovulated cd 15 as my temps were still low cd16 and i felt o pain all of cd 16 which finally subsided at about 8.30 pm when i went to bed so i assumed i had then ovulated, cd 17 there was a rise in my temps but i didnt expect a massive one as i had not long ovulated and i would probably see a bigger rise the next day (in which i did) :)
Please help do i have a chance for :babyf: pink pink pink

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I also was burning lavender all month had the fan blowing on us constantly so incorporated alot of negative ions before hand :)

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Anyone please? �� im a bag of nerves and feel sick :( i still have a long wait till march 9th for my 13 week scan (il be 13 weeks 4 days) iv even uninvited my husband making up silly excuses like "easier i just go in the morning instead of late afternoon when my mum would have to watch the kids and close to dinner time ect ect" "il make sure he records it all and il get it on usb " god i feel like an idiot but i just dont want to come across as desperate or annoying to the ultrasound tech INFRONT of my hubby haha

[Sb3sons]

I'm sorry to post here but I can not find how to start my own post! Pls help

Welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy!!

There is always a chance of pink but no one can give you a % of what your chances are. I know someone recently who just had a girl after 3 boys and I don't believe she swayed so it can happen!!

Hopefully you get a nice clear nub shot at your first scan :)

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Thank you purple
I guess im just super anxious
I tested positive at 3 weeks 2 days pregnant and i didnt care what we have i went into this knowing quite well we could have a boy but now im just sick :think:

I never tested posiitive with my boys this early so im like oh must be a girl then i think nope dont be stupid its a boy and i just feel sad ahhhh

[ahorn586]

There's always hope even if you don't sway. I have my fingers crossed that you will get your baby girl!:fx:

[Dreamsister]

Congrats with your baby no matter which gender. Have my fingres crossed that it is a girl. You can have a bloodtest to confirm gender at 8 week. You can buy online or go to a clinic that offer it. If you are in Europe I think you can go to Spain - if you cannot wait till week 13

Iv only told three of my closest friends and they all have said what they obviously think i want to hear and it makes it so hard "Its a girl no doubt" "i bet this is your girl" "its a girl i just know it" i love them all so dearly but it just hurts :( my gut instinct is telling me its a girl but my head is telling me boy so i dont know if its just me tricking my gut instinct to hearing what i want to hear, i dont want to believe anything atm
Im in such a bad place with it but when i tested positive i didnt care at all! This is going to be a big roller coaster ride with massive ups and downs i reckon :/
Iv decided im going to push it and have my scan at 13 weeks 6 days
Do you reckon a potty shot at 13 weeks 6 days could accurately determine gender? Or atleast give an idea? Thanks ladies for all your kind words
Blood test is not an option for me in australia unless medically needed or you want to pay big money for it so il just have to wait :(

[prettypinkprincessplease]

And now iv just read on a post on here that taking too much calcium and magnesium can sway boy :( great :( i was taking 1250mg of calcium a day as a apart of my half arss sway :(
I was also drinking lots of diet coke because i became addicted
I just know this baby will be boy number 4

[maidentomother]

Yep at almost 14w you could get a very good idea of gender. I hope you have a girl cooking, I think you have a decent shot!

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Thankyou maidentomother
I had a little jumpsuit arrive today little pink one i collect clothes for both genders incase we decide to not find out
Anyway after opening it i just burst into tears at the thought that i wont get a daughter to put it on
My dad passed away last year a few months back and i ask him to send me a beautiful daughter and the grand daughter he longed for, i hope hes heard my prayers �� im just soooo scared its consuming me :( xx

[atomic sagebrush]

Hi and welcome!!

Anyone who tells you, you didn't sway, is a nitpicker! You DEFINITELY swayed! :agree:

I personally don't like to go over sways that are already a done deal so I will just say huge congrats! You ALWAYS have a chance for a girl, after all people get girls even with BLUE SWAYS!

Good luck and pink dust!

SB3sons you need to go into one of the forums (not into a thread, but into one of the forums itself) and then at the top of that you'll see a big orange button that says "start new thread" and then just click that. You don't see it because you clicked open a thread, not a forum. Just go back to the main page and you'll see the various forums to open and then you'll see the "start new thread" button. :)

Early pregnancy tests don't predict gender either way so please don't torment yourself over this. :)

Many of us got boys doing the "old school" sway tactics and thus it is very hard for us to believe in them. That having been said, people have gotten girls with it too so it is no means a dealbreaker.

please don't beat yourself up over sway tactics, trust me there are people who do everything "wrong" and get girls, and people with "perfect" sways who get opposites.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Thank you atomic sage bush very comforting xx
Yeah i know early tests dont mean gender just holding hope its early because its a different gender hehehe i googled it though and dont think much anymore lol then i thought left ovary maybe il get a girl haha all my boys were right i guess im just using the little tales mums come up with to give me Someeeee hope lol im really hoping hubbys liquorice root lower ed d his testosterone alot ��

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I guess im going to have a really hard time untill march 11th at the 13 week 6 day scan xx

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Anyone ever conceived a girl on O day :( i feel so stupid i should of swayed harder and put all my effort into it! Timing and all :(

[maidentomother]

Timing doesn't sway! Many ladies on here got girls from O day BD. I've been swaying pink on and off for over 2 years and I BDed on O day this cycle.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Makes it hard when everyone i know whose pregnant is having girls, even my two closest friends :( i just picture them havinv girls and me having my fourth boy
Little joke on me thanks universe
Im considering guessing off nub theory and if i think its going to be a girl il find out if i think its going to be a boy il wait till birth because i know i wont be dissapointed when hes in my arms :)

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I took 2 × 15000mg cranberry high strength tablets on o day so hopefully that helped a bit maybe lol

[Sb3sons]

Can that be done on tapatalk or website only ?

[prettypinkprincessplease]

No idea sorry new member myself maybe it can only be done on website

5 weeks tomorrow 8 weeks to go hahaha

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Does my dh being drunk sway at all? Lol by lowering testosterone he strugged a bit �� and lowering sperm count?

[atomic sagebrush]

Left ovary actually does have some science backing it up.

Timing DOES NOT SWAY and yes I got my girl late at night the day before O Day (Shettles boy timing) after getting 3 of 4 boys with Shettles cutoffs.

As far as I know you can absolutely start new threads on Tapatalk?? The only thing I am aware of that cannot be done in Tapatalk is downloading sway plans from the site.

[atomic sagebrush]

I took 2 × 15000mg cranberry high strength tablets on o day so hopefully that helped a bit maybe lol

Just for anyone else reading this, this is way too much cranberry and I do not recomemnd anyone taking this dose (I never recommend cran anyway but that is A HUGE dose) She only took it for one day and thus got away with it but taking that much cranberry for many days/weeks/months could be very dangerous and so I just want to be sure no one reads this thread and does this.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Omg i need a new doctor!!!! He said that was fine!!!! (It always seemed way to much so i didnt take it only once) but wow might reschedule my appointment at a new clinic what the fudge!! �� how can he say thats fine �� if its way to much :(

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Although he said that last month when i went in with a horrible uti and he said to take 1 in the morning and 1 at night atleast 12 hours apart? Is that still bad

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Does me drinking alcohol sway boy or girl? :)

[maidentomother]

Girl!

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Fingers crossed for me! Iv never been so nervous in my life and im not even 6 weeks yet! I just want a daughter so much :babyf::pinksperm::fx:

[ahorn586]

I have my fingers and my toes crossed for you!!!:fx:

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Thank you ahorn586 i hope you get your little girl to! My god pregnancy has never gone so slow for me in my life!!! ��

[prettypinkprincessplease]

After reading everything about gender swaying on this website i feel like iv just wasted my time with IG and my sway will just result in my 4th boy now
Very discouraged
I wish i found this website instead of ingender :( there goes my last attempt as a 5th child is NOT an option
I feel my daughter slipping away the more i read the more i see that ingender wasted my time :(

[My2Sons]

Iv only told three of my closest friends and they all have said what they obviously think i want to hear and it makes it so hard "Its a girl no doubt" "i bet this is your girl" "its a girl i just know it" i love them all so dearly but it just hurts :( my gut instinct is telling me its a girl but my head is telling me boy so i dont know if its just me tricking my gut instinct to hearing what i want to hear, i dont want to believe anything atm

Blood test is not an option for me in australia unless medically needed or you want to pay big money for it so il just have to wait :(

You can get the nipt test done at 10 weeks here is Aus. It's $465 and will give you a definitive answer. You only need to ask your GP to write out the referral, you can give some lame excuse that there has been gene abnormalities in the family etc. Best of luck

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Thank you :) i cant justify spending that though atm �� it said 2-3 weeks for results at most and just my luck it would take the longest time frame and i could of just had a nt scan at 13 weeks anyway haha
Hubby is the sort of guy that never contributes with baby names and if he does its mainly forced haha and its maybes and i dont knows never a yes and always a No so when i asked him the other day he blurted out a Girl name, i didnt know what to say �� he said he just thought of it the other day out of nowhere and now he thinks its a girl because of that
God i hope hes right and he has a daddy intuition going on right now ��

[atomic sagebrush]

Although he said that last month when i went in with a horrible uti and he said to take 1 in the morning and 1 at night atleast 12 hours apart? Is that still bad

you took it ONE time, one day only. For swaying, people might read that and miss the part you only took it for one day, and take that level of cranberry for weeks or months at a time. That's not safe. I have to worry about everyone on the site including people who may only read a thread or two and then never come back again.

Treating a UTI is totally different thing than swaying. This isn't a "how to treat a UTI" site, it's a gender swaying site, meaning most of the people here are reading posts to find out how to do that, and they may read your post and start taking that amount day after day for many months and that is just not safe in my book. Your body can put up with just about anything for a day, it's when people do it months and months that it becomes an issue. :)

Ingender got me my 4th boy too - but remember you always have a chance of a girl. Sending you all my pink dust!!!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Does me drinking alcohol sway boy or girl? :)

PInk!! We've gotten good results with it too. :agree:

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Drinking is a big difference for me and ESPECIALLY hubby this was the only time hubby has ever actually drank when we were ttc! He was rotten �� free alcohol at his christmas break up didnt mix well with him!!! Haha and yes mumma enjoyed a fair few vodka lemon and limes hahahaa! We finsihed drinking at 1 in the morning did the deed about 2am (no idea how hubby even managed that��) and then i ovulated that night roughly 16 hours plus later so fingers crossed
I was very very very hung over the day i ovulated lol thank you atomic bush you always brighten my hope heaps!!!
:fx::babyf:
Any difference betwen your boys and your girl? (Forgive me if im wrong i thought i read somewhere on this site you have a girl or pregnant with one)

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes I have a girl who's 3 1/2 now. I def had different stuff going on in my life and lifestyle and I was on my LE Diet. You can read about it here. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-confirmed-girl-sway-results/9388-atomics-stealth-sway-updated-july-20-a.html

If you're asking me if my symptoms were any different - they weren't. My daughter and DS 2 pregancies were nearly identical and then my other three boys were all completely different from each other and the other two as well.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Stealth sway!! Hahaha Love it!!!
Yes im feeling quite normal!
Same with my boys
But its still early il be 6 weeks saturday its crazy that in a few days itll be 3 weeks since i found out! That amazes me! First 12 weeks is the slowest for me :( im at my first doctors appointment now (waiting ofcourse) so pretty nervous hahaha

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Update: iv decided against a dating scan as im fairly sure of my dates, and i do not want to get all worked up over the ramzi theory. So my first scan still stands at 11th of march :)

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Where does this site stand with moon signs? Quite frankly im sick if hearing about it on the other site😞

[atomic sagebrush]

It's utter nonsense.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I am so highly emotional this pregnancy
And still no morning sickness
When does the y chromoson start producing testostrone? I want to see if theres a link between that starting and possiblg morning sickness starting like it did with my boysb

[atomic sagebrush]

not unti 10 weeks at the barest minimum and more realistically 12 weeks.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Ah ok yeah iv usually had my morning sickness episode by then so maybe theres no link for me dam so far last sickness was in the 3rd week lol maybe im not sick because its a girl and my bodys holding itself together better lol probably not but i can dream ��

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Everyone is freaking me out over these moon signs iv decided to stop visiting the other site for now, basically saying its a boy. For sure. ��

[maidentomother]

I'm a pretty serious amateur astrologer (I do detailed, unique natal charts, not sun sign newspaper crap) and I can assure you the sign of the moon at the time of conception has no bearing on gender at all (and also, is likely to often be incorrectly guessed). No serious astrologer or hobbyist would credit it. I want to kill the idiot who made up such stupidity, bc not only does it make real astrology look bad, it also gets lots of people worked up.

There are other crazy supposed astrological theories to help you select the gender of your child and they're all nonsense too.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Thank you so much!!! Really puts me at ease
Its hard to stay positive when others are so big in believing in it! I have a question for you all though id love if you could have a look at my ff chart and see when you think i od? Cd 16 or cd 17
I think i oed late night cd 16 given my usual O 24 hours after first positive track record, also all cd 16 i was havinv o pains which stopped out of the blue that night i think thats also Why my temp only slightly rised maybe because there wasnt much time between O and my 5am temp time. Or did i possible O cd 17 that just means i tested positive at 7dpo and not 8dpo thanks ladies all input welcolm :)29424

[maidentomother]

I think you're probably right about late CD16 but early CD17 is always possible. Doesn't make much of a difference really. :)

[atomic sagebrush]

Thank you so much!!! Really puts me at ease

If you were in a room full of psychotics who all thought they were Marge Simpson, would you believe it?? :)

The day you ovulated, without having an ultrasound, no one can really tell. Could be either day.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Dam and i opted out of a dating scan because i was certain of my dates hahaha should of got one to check when i ovulated lol oh well all is well 7 weeks tomorrow ultrasound booked march 10th, 2pm! Hair appointment that morning at 9.30 am just to make the day go quicker ��

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Iv lost the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks 1 day
Just confirmed by ultrasound
There saying maybe myndates are out
But there not.
Suddenly as soon as i seen blood this morning i knew
Suddenly gender didnt matter.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I want to start ttc straight away as soon as this miscarriage is done and i can but i dont know where to start :( im finding it hard to navigate on the website to information i need
I cant afford to purchase a plan right now because a d and c is still a possible option but i wont know till monday if il need it so i need to save my money
Am i horrible that i want to try again :( straight away :( i feel guilty but i feel empty and i want my rainbow baby :(

[Pbn3]

So sorry for your loss prettypink. Do not feel guilty for wanting to ttc again straight away - just be sure you're mentally and emotionally ready. My ob advised me to wait 3 cycles to ttc but I've read and heard of docs saying its ok to try straight away. I think it depends on the individuals situation. I don't have any answers for you sorry :( I can only suggest to go by your docs recommendations. I'm sure you'll receive some more guidance and helpful info from others very soon. Just wanted to say I'm so sorry you are going through this and I wish you all the very best and that you conceive you rainbow baby really soon. Also there is a subforum called 'ttc after a loss' there may be more info that could be helpful there?

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Thank you for your kind words hun i am going threw the motions i never thought this would happen to me �� i am now just planning my future sway and stayinh positive
I have a few questions but dont know where to go to ask im having trouble knowing where to get info or ask questions :(

[maidentomother]

prettypink, I am so so sorry. Feel free to ask any questions here and I'll answer if I can. Starting a thread in TTC after a loss forum is a good idea too.

Losses do sway pink so catching the very next egg is a great idea, fx for you.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Thank you maidentomother, we are in total shock but these things happen i guess. We definitely plan to try and catch the next egg we will do an abstinence with 1 attempt the morning after positive opk, my hubby is 26 is there any length he should abstain for or the longer the better? Is there any "too long" so to speak for his age?
Iv ordered more opks to start testing as soon as the bleeding stops

[prettypinkprincessplease]

My biggest question is the olive leaf extract, When should hubby start taking olive leaf extract and how long before for attempt? Does he need a break from it or can he take 1 aday for an extended period of time,

[maidentomother]

I would NOT abstain, it really doesn't sway pink much if at all and is terrible for sperm health. I'd recommend you BD every 4 days so you catch the egg for sure and maintain healthy sperm.

You should be doing the diet and cardio (or couch potato if you can't do cardio) starting immediately, if DH does those with you all the better. He should start OLE right away and take it continuously until you get a BFP. No more than 1500mg daily.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Ok no abstain it is thank you :) my diet is naturally terrible when im not pregnant i live off very little calories aday and like a bajillion coffees funny that when iv conceived the boys its always been a festive month like december for my middle and was easter with my youngest so i had a very high calorie intake because i love festive food and left overs �� cardio is definitely my thing i do alot during the day and 40 minutes to an hours walk at night

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Should dh start liquorice root now or wait a week then start considering i dont see myself ovulating in the next 14 days i may still be bleeding xx

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Im thinking about adding vitex to my sway. Can i take vitex and sal palmetto together or is it one or the other?
Also will taking any of these prolong my miscarriage or should i start once bleeding stops?
I promise that is the last questions 🙈🙉🙊


Im so anxious to catch this egg im just scared to start this stuff too early and mess stuff up!

[maidentomother]

I would not use LR, vitex, or SP.bc they hardly sway if at all and can mess with your cycle, which may already be messed up from your loss. I wouldn't do anything to inhibit catching that very first egg.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I did read somewhere the olive leaf extract was getting more resukts then LR so i might drop it then :)

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Is there any reason why the first egg after a miscarriage sways pink? Is it because of the high level of hormones already in the body? :)

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Im really tossing up weather to drop the calcium and magnesium or continue with it. I take 1250mg cal a day and i cant remember what my manesium is. Do more women get girls without taking it? Or is it another thing that there not sure it even sways?

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I got the comment today at an aussie day bbq
"Maybe you just cant carry girls" it was fantastic...not :( now im ho estly worried what if i cant :( my mum has Girl,Boy,Girl,
Now all i have is Boy Boy Boy and Miscarriage which obviously i cant help but feel that sas my girl :( felt it from the start deep down but didnt want to believe it

[sweetdream]

Drop everything. Mag and Cal.
Just go with low everything and cardio An hour daily.
My DH did do LR.

I think you got a great shot at this.
You can also Carry girls!

[maidentomother]

We don't know why losses sway pink, just that they often do. I'd definitely drop the Cal & Mag completely, they actually sway blue. Focus on diet, cardio, one attempt.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

What about calcium for dh should he drop that? He cant drop the magnesium unless i want him throwing fits over foot cramps late at night in bed hahahahahaha!

[maidentomother]

Def keep DH on the Mag, Cal is your call. I don't think it sways in men but probably doesn't hurt a pink sway much.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Ok so if we bd every 4 days what happens if for arguments sake we bd and then i get my positive say 1 or 2 days later do i bd again at my positive opk with the 1 to 2 day abstain or do i leave it at that 1 bd i orginally did (i really hope you are more fertile because i never fal preg with dam cut off!) Hahahaa

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Thank you so much for your time again Maidentomother xx

[prettypinkprincessplease]

What am i doing wrong i havent even hit 1200 calories yet which is my daily target :( im finding it hard to understand when to eat and how many times
Snacking not allowed so how do i get 1200 in calories without snacking and skipping breakfast :(

You can do night of positive if it's easier for you. Kids make it hard to have morning attempts.

I prefer no more than 7-10 days, up to 14 max

[atomic sagebrush]

My biggest question is the olive leaf extract, When should hubby start taking olive leaf extract and how long before for attempt? Does he need a break from it or can he take 1 aday for an extended period of time,

OLE - right away. 500-1000 mg daily but no more than that for extended periods. At BFP he should wean off.

[atomic sagebrush]

Should dh start liquorice root now or wait a week then start considering i dont see myself ovulating in the next 14 days i may still be bleeding xx

I wouldn't bother with it because it's not getting great results anyway and it's going to be too hard to know where you are in cycle.

If you really want to just do 14 days on, 14 days off. He doesn't ahve to be on it at time of attempt, it has a cumulative effect

[atomic sagebrush]

Im thinking about adding vitex to my sway. Can i take vitex and sal palmetto together or is it one or the other?
Also will taking any of these prolong my miscarriage or should i start once bleeding stops?
I promise that is the last questions 🙈🙉🙊

Without a side by side study we cannot know. All the studies done so far, except one, have been no good because they are not studying cal-mag supplements alone, and the one study that was valid actully showed higher cal-mag intake in moms that went on to conceive boys. I think it is something everyone needs to decide for themselves. I got 4 boys with tons of dairy and 2 of them I was taking cal-mag supps so I droped it and got my girl without dairy or cal-mag supps, but you need to do waht you feel comfy with.

I got the comment today at an aussie day bbq
"Maybe you just cant carry girls" it was fantastic...not :( now im ho estly worried what if i cant :( my mum has Girl,Boy,Girl,
Now all i have is Boy Boy Boy and Miscarriage which obviously i cant help but feel that sas my girl :( felt it from the start deep down but didnt want to believe it

There is no scientific basis for this and it's just one of those things people say. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/swaying-studies-and-scientific-research/824-you-cant-carry-baby-gender.html

Feelings don't predict gender and I wouldn't torture yourself with what ifs because we'l never know.

Ok so if we bd every 4 days what happens if for arguments sake we bd and then i get my positive say 1 or 2 days later do i bd again at my positive opk with the 1 to 2 day abstain or do i leave it at that 1 bd i orginally did (i really hope you are more fertile because i never fal preg with dam cut off!) Hahahaa

It is up to you, sticking with one attempt is better odds of pink, adding attempts may be bluer but better for conception.

What am i doing wrong i havent even hit 1200 calories yet which is my daily target :( im finding it hard to understand when to eat and how many times
Snacking not allowed so how do i get 1200 in calories without snacking and skipping breakfast :(

You can still have 3 meals or even 4 if you have to, you just push breakfast back. I always had 3, 11am or so, 4-5 pm, then again before bed. Got a girl with that. Both 2 and 3 meals are equally allowed, do what works for you. If you can't stick with 3, then up to 4, it's still really different than snacking all day every day

[atomic sagebrush]

I cannot read the nutrient data well enough. The one thing that is sticking out to me in what I can see is that you can and should have fat - it looks like to me you are having all fat free products and you need 30 g minimum and can go all the way up to 60, so right there is a way to get a lot of cals without really changing much of anything.

Spongecake is allowed!

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Thank you for all this awesome information ladies i really appreciate the time and effort!
Basically i was really enjoying iced cold peppermint tea lol sad to see it go now �� at first i was hating it lol i was having 600ml a day!
Anyway iv drop cal and mag and peppermint tea
Im on folic acid 1500
Cranberry 7500mg (half what i was taking)
Vitamin c 500mg a day
Anddddd thats it :/

Hubby is on LR still only because he is basically a weight lifter when it comes to his job day in day out also gets alot of cardio in, so i guess i can only hope it decreases testostrone A tiny bit, it keeps my thoughts calm.
Cal and mag
Olive leaf 3000mg (lowest we could get here but he takes it every 3rd day now)
Folic acid
Vitamin c

We will do one attempt at positive opk and say a prayer
Im usually a 24 hour later O person.
1200 calories aday my height and weight im classed as over weight

Is it ok that i drink two coffees before i eat breakfast/lunch in the afternoon or does that defeat the purpose of fasting in the morning?

Hubby wont and cant cut calories he becomes drained with anything less with his usuall Bajillion calories a day thanks to his energy output hahaha

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Oh and cardio! I start tonight again now because im getting all crampy and i think it may help with the bleeding aswell xx

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I will buy some more fat fulfilling products :) too easy! This is really just stuff i had left over in the cupboard todays shopping day yeee haaa hahahha

[maidentomother]

That looks great! The coffee is fine as long as it's very low in cals, I.e. not with cream and/or sugar, calorie free sweeteners and/or a little bit of lowcal creamer is fine. Black is ideal if you can tolerate it,

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Im really struggling with this diet! God i feel like sich an idiot i cant get it right.
Today iv eaten 1169 calories
I hit protein 53g
Cards 169g
Sugar 68g
Fat 39g
Sodium 1870
Potassium 500 ??? No idea how to eat more i dont want to drop dead 😕
Calcium 189

On my macro
CARBS made up for 58% of today
PROTEIN made up for 18%
FAT made up for 23%

220 of those calories were from three coffees threwout the day 😩

[atomic sagebrush]

I still like most of you guys to be at 1500-1800 even if you're overweight. There is only a tiny minority of people who should be at 1200 and that is only AFTER trying 1500-1800 first.

Coffee in the morning is fine and practically all of us do.

Hubby doens't need to cut calories. He doesnt have to do diet with you. If he wanted to go vegetarian or even just cut back, great, but he does not need to do anything beyond that.

[atomic sagebrush]

Something is mathematically awry here. The online calculators are not always right or accurate.

When I plug the numbers in, this is what I get.

351 cals of fat (39x9)
212 cals from protein (53x4)
676 cals from carbs (169x4)

Total of 1239 cals and that does not count if the sugars are separate from the carbs, I wasn't sure on that because some sites count them differently and others sugars are considered carbs. I suspect they are separate and that would add an additional 272 cals from sugar for grand total of 1511 calories.

IF the cals are correct (which again I think something is screwy here) then you'd need to eat more carbs, fat, and sugar to increas cals. Please check out this thread as it has lots of ideas on how to get calories without protein. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/le-diet-info-general-posting-forum/6976-quick-fixes-diet-disasters.html

Don't worry about the sodium, that isn't working and most of us totally gave up on it cause it makes it way easier to stick to diet.

Re potassium, it's in a lot more foods than you think, and many of the online calculators have it totally wrong. Please see this thread which is the Guide to Potassium for more food choices. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/le-diet-info-general-posting-forum/47773-guide-potassium-le-diet.html

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Ahhh man i totally struggled to eat what i did yesterday! Am i on the right track though? Lol i suppose il try the 3 meals of 500 calories each!

[atomic sagebrush]

Just to clarify, I think MFP had your cal count LOWER than what you actually ate. I am not saying you NEED to eat more, but just that is what you'd have to eat more of if it IS correct (which I do not think it is.) It looks to me like you got at least 1200 and probably more like 1500.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I think so to. I just punch all that data into my fitbit tracker and it was way more calories but still in the girl le diet range :)

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Abstaining is ok with my partners age isnt it hes 26? No medical issues and of a Fit build. Only asking because he is going away for 6 days for work traibing and will be back smack bang when im expected to ovulate (not relying on these prediction dates i never do but just covering my basis incase) just wanted to DTD straight off the mark instead of having him release then waiting a few hours and then dtd haha

I think mfp is really out iv nearly reached all my goals for the day with 800 calories to go �� think il switch trackers!

[Princess Mom]

Are you doing vegetarian? I had an early miscarriage end of October and since thanksgiving I went veggie, much more easier for me not to go over protein.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I am going vegetarian fully as of tomorrow. Tonight im cheating with wine and some chcolate will most probably be 1800 calories by the end of today ill get the hang of it im sure
I just always have a hard time learning diet stuff its never been my speciality �� i dont get alot of time to sit down and focus so i sometimes miss important things.

[atomic sagebrush]

26 year olds can do abstain.

Wine and chocolate are not cheats.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

I meant cheating as in i went over in my calories a bit but technically not cheating because i was still within my limits
Iv nearly hit my fat and protein goal for today already so tonight il be eating chocolate to get my calories in hahahaha �� and i should still be within my limits �� i actually like this lifestyle very much �� i eat at 11 oclock 2-3 oclock then 6-7 oclock. And then nothing till lunch the next day :)

[atomic sagebrush]

:agree: that is all fine. :)

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Well i might possible already be in my tww or my temps are really funny atm :) guess il just wait untill af shows or a positive pregnancy test ☺ bf was perfectly timed anyway even if i did o and im bding every 4 days from now to cover my bases :) 29740

Can this cycle just end already its such a mess! I had TONs and Tons of egg white cervical mucous today and when i check my cm there were a few bright red blood streaks in it
Af must be on her way

Done an opk to rule out ovulation i didnt even get a second line thatsnhow negative it was
Positive pregnancy test VERYYYYY faint so most probably lingering hcg i didnt test my hcg out with pregnancy tests so im not getting excited ofcourse. Il wait till af come now :)

[maidentomother]

Hard to say without seeing your full chart and past charts, but I think you might still be gearing up to O despite the negative OPK. I'd keep testing at least once daily.

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Yerp ff took my cross hairs this morning but i have lots of sm some cream some eggwhite today yesterday was full egg white i think im gearing up now very crampy today!

[atomic sagebrush]

Yeah, i'm not sold on those crosshairs yet
