October Chit Chat Thread for Blue Swayers. All welcome!!

[Flava]

what other sites are there besides this and ig and ff? not that im looking to leave at all!!

There is plumlilly I think she is talking about that. I did not sign up there but read a little. For me is very IGish...

[Flava]

I took ginseng with this sway and the others. Raises testosterone in both.

cool thanks!

[3Pink1Blue]

Tink- normal doesn't make it less scary, things ok today?

Tink and wp- come check in on the blue crew grads thread!

Well ladies we called my dad and uncle to get their feelings on the baby's name and the calls couldn't have gone better. My ex reverend and current college professor uncle was struck silent (this never happens lol) and my dad thanked us over and over and told us how honored he was. So it's decided he'll be Charles Robert aka Charlie. Today we are going to bil house for sil's birthday (we were invited yesterday, jerks) so we'll tell dh's fam, they won't be happy but dh doesn't care. We are happy and that's all at matters :)

[Alexis2007]

Hey ladies! I've been gone a while seems like I've missed a lot!!! Tried to scan through all the pages but there's too many!

Congrats Tink on your BFP!

I am torn with this ntnp thing. I haven't been temping this cycle. And I just caved today and got an almost +opk. My CP is SHOW right now. Had planned on dtd every other day this cycle. We just dtd yesterday morning. What do you ladies think? Keep with that or dtd everyday? lol DH is in favor of every other day. I planned to dtd on odd cycle days. I usually O on CD 13 or CD15. I'm CD 12 today.

I've been trying to keep my mind off of TTC, but I think that's trying to fight a losing battle :( If no BFP this month, then we are taking a break for November as it would be too close to DD2's bday. I can't handle 2 bdays in the same month I don't think. Will pick it back up in December I guess.

[3Pink1Blue]

Hey Alexis! I'd go for it tonight!

I hear ya on two birthdays in a month, this new one is due 3wks before dd's b-day and I'm not going to lie I'm a little stressed about it lol

[TTC5]

So at work today i wiped and there was light pink blood. I swear i.was so scared of this and it happened. I immidately went to my.doc and she ays its very normal for early preg. Even know i know this im still naturally freaked out.


Sounds like it is from implantation :)

[TTC5]

Ladies, which supp's are safe in 2ww?

What ones are you taking? x

[TTC5]

Okay, I took my temp this morning and it was still wayyy up, so I tested with a FRER and $ tree test.........very faint + on the FRER (just like last month's) and neg on the $ store test. I am trying not to get my hopes up because of what happened last month. The test looks pretty good, nice pink faint line, but you know how it could go. I just had to cave and test, I have been eating just veges and protein and I have been starving, so I didn't want to punish my body if there is a little bean in there.

Sounds like a congrats is in order!

[Tink18]

Ya things are good today. No spotting since yesterday 3 pm ish. Fucking scary man! I was so upset i cried. I never had that with DD. Still nervous. My number were 177 at 13 DPO. SO that is good. I have to go back again tomorrow, praying they double!!

[TTC5]

I'm sure they will Tink :)

[Tink18]

omg my cousin just text me a pic of a positive preg test!! We are due the same day!!! This is soo exciting!!

[Alexis2007]

Hey Alexis! I'd go for it tonight!

I hear ya on two birthdays in a month, this new one is due 3wks before dd's b-day and I'm not going to lie I'm a little stressed about it lol

Yeah I think I will try to entice DH tonight. I know he will be tired though. I think I might pick up with temping tomorrow to see if I can see O or not. lol

If we tried next month me EDD would be July 30. DDs bday is July 6th (I was due July 20 with her-I always go early). Too close!!

[3Pink1Blue]

Tink- woohoo! Glad everything is looking good. How fun to be due with your cousin, I've been due near someone with each pregnancy!

Alexis- he's due 3 weeks before dd1 and I have a tendency to run a week late lol. We were going to skip that month but decided at the last minute to go for it.

[Alexis2007]

3Pink-maybe he'll come early for you! You never know! I'm sure it'll work out either way. My DH and his oldest sister share a bday. His younger sister's is 7 days before theirs. His mom seemed to like getting pregnant while on vacation lol.

[Hobbermittens]

Hey Alexis! I'd go for it tonight!

I hear ya on two birthdays in a month, this new one is due 3wks before dd's b-day and I'm not going to lie I'm a little stressed about it lol

Yeah, I have 2 kids with birthdays a week (and six years) apart. Sucks!

[My Fabulous Children]

why whats the difference now?

Many new members! The oldies are gone. I really miss my old friends. That's why I see it different.

[My Fabulous Children]

what other sites are there besides this and ig and ff? not that im looking to leave at all!!

Plumlily.

[My Fabulous Children]

what are you taking? I will stop the DHEA fertile cm (out of this anyway) and the RJ .I think the rest I can take.

Hey Flava,

I am taking RJ/BP, Fish Oil, Vit E, Potassium Pill , CoQ-10, Grape Seed, Zinc, Folic Acid, B12, Prenatal Vitamins , On/Off Flaxseed Oil.

Now I stopped everything except Prenatal Vitamins, Folic Acid, B12, Zinc.

[My Fabulous Children]

There is plumlilly I think she is talking about that. I did not sign up there but read a little. For me is very IGish...

Yes I am talking about Plumlily. I don't go there much.

That's really nice!

[skrimpy]

Congrats WP, sending you thoughts for a sticky bean!

Tink, prayers for your bean to stick, too. How exciting to be PG at the same time as your cousin! I was PG with my cousin for DC2 and it was a lot of fun.

[melon]

B- see I love in Utah aka Mormonland and I swear we are still one of those families. When I say this is my 4th people go "oh wow ok" lol
That's crazy they made you prove so much to get your u/s, all I had to do was name my midwife lol

Lola - kudos on your pee restraint, after all this time not wasting anymore tests is a silver lining :)

Dreamblue- vit d- studies were done with cows where supplemented cows produced more male off spring then the unsupplemented ones. Here's the theory, more boys are conceived in the fall after the bountiful harvests and sun soaking behavior of the summer. Increasing your vit is another way to trick your body into thinking conditions are favorable to produce the frailer male fetus. On a personal note after dd3 was born I found out I have a severe vit D deficiency and have been taking supplements ever since. My mother, who also only had girls, carries a massive deficiency as well. You may want to get yourself checked, I'm a big believer in this one.

Kris- It'll probably be way cheaper in Reno as everything is more expensive in California lol What hotels, I'll find ya a close place and scope the prices :) Can you tell I used to work in travel lol

ooh WP!

Thank you so much Begiona and 3P1B. It makes perfect sense to me. I hardly ever go in the sun. The only sun I get is when walking 2 and fro from parking lot.

[Hobbermittens]

Hey, I have a vitamin D question! I get 100% in my Prenatal. Is that enough? 3P1B, how much were you taking?

[3Pink1Blue]

dreamblue- You are so welcome :)

Hobber- Normal levels of vit d should be 25, mine came back at like 8 so extremely low. I had gone through high dose therapy a couple of years ago but was taking 5000iu per day while ttc. I currently take a 1000iu per day on top of my prenatal, ok'd by my midwife.

Holy crap! Is it too late to up mine? My attempt is in a few weeks...

[hope.ful]

WP, very excited for you and Tink! We are going to ttc again in a few days here. What are everyone's thoughts on the O-2 BD? I can't decide if it's something I want to do or not. DH is clueless. I love the discussion about loads of D3 helping conceive boys. We will definitely be trying that!! Love and blue dust to all!

Personally I am not going to do o-2 (unless I mess up pinpointing my O) and try to BD once as close to O as possible. If we believe in X and Y characteristics as to speed and life, X will survive longer than Y and I am afraid that we might be increasing X's by doing O-2. Love to hear other thoughts

[melon]

MFC - What is RJ/BJ? what is that for? What does grape seed do? I have seen grape seed cooking oil while shopping groceries this weekend and wondered if that's a good switch... I am just afraid of taking so many supplements so I am trying to get as much as possible through food..

[3Pink1Blue]

hobber- I'd say up yourself to no more then 1000iu. It's safe during pregnancy and you don't know if you actually have a deficiency.

Hope.ful- I did O-2 and O to get my guy :)

Dreamblue- I hear ya on the fear of tons of sups fwiw all I took was a prenatal, vit d and fish oil.

[Hobbermittens]

MFC - What is RJ/BJ? what is that for? What does grape seed do? I have seen grape seed cooking oil while shopping groceries this weekend and wondered if that's a good switch... I am just afraid of taking so many supplements so I am trying to get as much as possible through food..

Royal Jelly/Bee Pollen. I have been taking them, and the Royal Jelly is EXPENSIVE! But I heard it was awesome so I take it. I think it is what the queen bee eats. Tastes funky.

Why are you afraid of taking too many supps?

Royal Jelly/Bee Pollen – Helps with fertility, balances hormones, increases pH and helps produce EWCM. I 2nd what Hobber said, this stuff is awesome.

Grapeseed extract- a source of phytochemicals and antioxidants that your body may use to help nourish healthy eggs, but be carful it migh dry you up that's what happened to me I had a very little CM.

Hey Hopeful, I think O-2 and again on O, it's great timing for ttc a boy and a good chance to get pregnant. I was going to make two attempts, 48 hours between, but my surge was fast so, I ended up just with one attempt on O.

It's very hard for me to make O-2 anyways ..My cycle is so messy!

[My Fabulous Children]

Ladies, Whats Vit D do? I get 400iU- 100% in my Prenatal.

Did you have ewcm when you conceived? I can't remember if I've asked you before.

I've been using Instead Softcups this cycle. I tried one for practice and actually found ewcm in it! It wasn't much and was white, but it stretched about 3in. I was sooo excited lol! Hoping it's a good sign for me this cycle.

[3Pink1Blue]

I had tons, I credit the fish oil. Yay for stretchy stuff, I definitely think it's a good sign.

[Alexis2007]

Hmmm...right now the fish oil hasn't been doing it for me. Now when I first started taking it in May (along with EPO) I had a good bit and it was clear. Maybe I'll take a break from it while NTNPing in November and pick it back up in December.

hmmm...i had no idea about all these benefits of bee pollen. I am not used to taking pills and popping so many pills down the throat everyday scares me...I just like to be nourished naturally than through supplements.....but i understand the theory behind tricking the body....

[melon]

Does calcium in prenatal OK? Should we start taking prenatal during swaying? I feel just strange to be asking someone in the store for prenatal without calcium.....

[ELP]

Ladies, Whats Vit D do? I get 400iU- 100% in my Prenatal.I had 200 in my prenatal plus took an extra 400 just incase of defficiancy:agree: I think its quite common for people to take 1000+.

[ELP]

I had great overall results off of bee pollen but its a supplement you have to be careful of because you may develop bee allergies, its worth a google, so if anyone in the family has existing bee allergies probably worth steering clear of.

But I have to admit that I found that it gave me a surge of energy after taking, apparantly its on of natures amphetimines due to the B vitamins in it, no wonder I was bright as a button lol! I also noticed that all the time taking it I never had one case of cold sores/herpes (just of the lip luckily) which I do get when I am shattered, there were a few occasions of being exhausted from LO wanted bottles every 2 hrs for nights on end which would have guaranteed a nice big lump on the middle of the lip lol, but it never happened! So I am sure the pollen gave me a great immune system boost:agree: I will take it again for any future sways but am skipping it during pregnancy and early b/f.

The royal jelly I took in capsule form 500mg? for the month before bfp, again its good for egg quality as it contains a natural DHEA.

Grapeseed extract I've read good things about and will add it in next time, I expect the oil is good for cooking but and I can understand wanting to get it from food but the supps guarantee your getting the full effect, worth it for a few months:agree:

If we believe in X and Y characteristics as to speed and life, X will survive longer than Y and I am afraid that we might be increasing X's by doing O-2. Love to hear other thoughtsI went for just the o-2 x2(unconfirmed but hopeful blue) I wanted to have all sperms sat waiting in the right place and hoped that my body would favor the boys at the right time. I wanted it this way because once I get a +opk, within a few hours my cm goes creamy, so girl area! In the past whenever I have attempted with +opk as my signal I have had girlsx3, but in the old days before internet and opk's I used to go for bd on day 14 giving me 3/5 boys, no swaying, same diet, the 2 girls were 1st month off of long term b/c and 1st cycle after mmc, so I wonder if this affected the outcome? So I avoided the bd on O due to my own superstition lol.

[TTC5]

Does calcium in prenatal OK? Should we start taking prenatal during swaying? I feel just strange to be asking someone in the store for prenatal without calcium.....

You would be lucky to find one that doesn't have it either, because calcium IS important when TTC blue or pink :)

[TTC5]

I had 200 in my prenatal plus took an extra 400 just incase of defficiancy:agree: I think its quite common for people to take 1000+.

I started this too and the bottle I got says to take one pill, daily. The amount is 1,000iu.

This may be TMI so sorry...... but with your EWCM was it like, hanging out of you LOL or did you notice it some other way.. sorry gawd that is so gross LOL

[TTC5]

Holy crap! Is it too late to up mine? My attempt is in a few weeks...

Never to late if you have a few weeks up your sleeve I say!

I am going for a one shot on ovulation too.

omg my cousin just text me a pic of a positive preg test!! We are due the same day!!! This is soo exciting!!

Oh wow how exciting!!!!

How is the spotting going now Tink?

[ELP]

What is royal jelly made from??Royal jelly is the food given ONLY to the Queen bee and her offspring which she has chosen to go onto be queen bees, it is what makes the queen and her chosen the only fertile ones, infact super fertile. I think it is actually excreted by a different, force fed! member of the colony, its quite gross really lol, but just don't think about it:bigsmile: But it is thought highly of on some of the infertility sites:agree:

Actually X and Y swim at the same speed and and live for the same time. So no worry about that.
Here is a great study to read http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?1562-What-are-the-REAL-differences-between-X-sperm-and-Y-sperm

[Flava]

We are sick again ...Im so tired of this. Last month was the same ...good that I did not skipped it or I would be even more angry now. I don't know what to do I hate this. I keep up with the diet , exercise and all but Im so angry !:mad:
ahh whatever

[3Pink1Blue]

ELP- too funny :)

Ttc5- I think, as a group, we passed tmi and gross long ago lol I had a little slime in the panties but gobs when I wiped.

Flava- ugh sorry you're all sick again. This is truly the worst thing about lots of kids, it takes forever for crap to go away and then sometimes just when you think you're clear it starts all over. So frustrating.

I forget who asked but ignore the IG calcium theory, talk to the boy moms they ate milk, cheese, dairy galore. It's so not worth stressing about.

[Tink18]

no spotting ttc. not since fri. im so relieved! my numbers almost tripled in a little less then 48 hours! hopefully that means a sticky little nugget in there!

[Flava]

I also took vit D 400IU first the 800 the after bfp just 400 again. Now I take the 400 in the prenatal but I guess I add 2 more so it will be 1200 for this week .Im sick anyway so hope it helps me.

[cemas]

Do you girls belive in the male/female moon sign on the day of conception? this was somewhere on IG.Was it right with your kids?

[LolaInLove]

Lola, sorry about flamin af again:( Would you consider the ivf/pgd route? Could you afford it? That would be fantastic for you wouldn't it! Sorry if this is a rude question:worry:

Nah, hunni, not rude at all! No, I don't think we can. I had a phone consultation with a clinic here, and we'd need to essentially pay $700 a month for 7 years...that is, if it works. I just can't see that being a good idea for us. If we didn't have any kids at all, I think I would consider it. We may change our minds in a couple of years and say, hey, this is important enough to us to make huge sacrifices to afford this, but not now. I want to continue to try naturally for a while longer. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to do IVF and throw a boy in there while I'm at it, but not for a while if ever. Honestly, the longer this goes on, the more I think I would be just fine if we never had one and I'm done....I really am ready to get out of this fat ttc suit I have on permanently now, lol. Thanks for asking though, ELP!

[LolaInLove]

Personally I am not going to do o-2 (unless I mess up pinpointing my O) and try to BD once as close to O as possible. If we believe in X and Y characteristics as to speed and life, X will survive longer than Y and I am afraid that we might be increasing X's by doing O-2. Love to hear other thoughts

This has been proven to not be true after all....Shettles came up with this theory, which swaying has been based on for ever, but it turns out he was looking at capacitated and uncapacitated sperm, so that was the difference, not the X or Y. This is why we don't care about the timing as much....and why you see boys come from all sorts of timing, really. So, one less thing to worry about! But if you want to try the once and done approach, I say go for it, just try to dtd about 12-18 hours after your first positive opk, and take at least 2 opks a day so you really pinpoint when you think you get your surge.

[LolaInLove]

Did you have ewcm when you conceived? I can't remember if I've asked you before.

I've been using Instead Softcups this cycle. I tried one for practice and actually found ewcm in it! It wasn't much and was white, but it stretched about 3in. I was sooo excited lol! Hoping it's a good sign for me this cycle.

That is awesome, Alexis! I am using the cups again also. Gotta give my ghost town sperm a boost however I can! I think ewcm can be white, I don't think that's a big deal. You might have already gone for it.....must read on!

[LolaInLove]

Does calcium in prenatal OK? Should we start taking prenatal during swaying? I feel just strange to be asking someone in the store for prenatal without calcium.....

I would MOST DEFINITELY take a regular prenatal with calcium. The no calcium is old IG stuff.....this site is kind of, um, evolved, and we believe more nutrients, including calcium, are best for ttc a boy. There were a lot of failed pink sways on IG back in the day, I remember, and a lot of them took tons of calcium, which is very curious. There are a bunch of threads about the "calcium conundrum" as we call it here, because that theory has also been pretty debunked. There is really no proof that the potassium/sodium thing really matters for boy/girl swaying, it was just hypothesized, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong here, though!

[LolaInLove]

no spotting ttc. not since fri. im so relieved! my numbers almost tripled in a little less then 48 hours! hopefully that means a sticky little nugget in there!

Oh yay, I'm so glad to read this!!!! I didn't want to post anything if there was something wrong. That is totally a good sign, Tink!!!!

Sorry you are sick, that does suck! Just take good care of yourself and try to get some rest. How is DD4 doing? Giving you some uninterrupted nights, I hope!

I don't personally believe in any of that stuff because all was wrong for at least one of mine.

Hi Flava,
last time i went to whole food store i saw am immunity booster for kids and picked up one for dd. Am going to see if it works. DD too falls sick easily- the cold cought stuff :(
will let u know if it works.
i have seen that whenever i am on the prenatal i fall sick less.

Yea, I have also noticed that in the past year with giving my girls a good children's multi as well as a kid's DHA/fish oil, they have not gotten sick at all! I give them acai juice every morning to wash it down, too. I am all about some immunity boosters for kids. I hope your dds and you feel better soon!

[Flava]

Sorry you are sick, that does suck! Just take good care of yourself and try to get some rest. How is DD4 doing? Giving you some uninterrupted nights, I hope!

Thanks Lola she was doing good but now she is back to sick again and wakes up...well so far it was only 1 bottle because she was hungry. I really hope she sleeps soon again.
I was so down this morning thinking better stop all this or I need a sign or something of hope...well I just looked out the kitchen window and the bluebirds are back !
When I started ttc in April this bluebird couple moved in our oak tree and made a nest and has some baby birds. So I took it as a sign that I can try ttc for a boy.And now they are back again! I even have a bird feeder on that tree lol. Ok I know it's silly but whatever...

[Flava]

Hi Flava,
last time i went to whole food store i saw am immunity booster for kids and picked up one for dd. Am going to see if it works. DD too falls sick easily- the cold cought stuff :(
will let u know if it works.
i have seen that whenever i am on the prenatal i fall sick less.

Oh thanks so much ! Tell me if it works! Im on prenatal and wheatgrass and grape seed and what not and I still get sick in no time!:mad:
The kids takes vitamins and extra vit C too! I don't know what else to get!

[Flava]

Lola where do you buy that kids fish oil?

[LolaInLove]

Lola where do you buy that kids fish oil? I got mine either at Vitamin Shoppe or at a health food store, there are a few brands. This is the one mine take: http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=GU-1112. I hate that your baby is sick, that does take the process with night waking back to the beginning! It's hard to not catch what you kids do, they are in a germ cesspool for half of their waking hours each day at school. My girls are funny, they watch me and DH take our loads of supps and said they wanted some too, and now they are all about their vitamins, which I can't argue with at all!

[WashingtonPromise]

I retested on Sunday morning @ 12dpo with a FRER and $ store.....and BFP!!!! got great lines on the FRER (as dark as the control) and faint on the $. So, I grabbed a digi and surprised DH with the wonderful "PREGNANT" words. He is so excited that he did his "job".

symptoms before testing

- Exhausted (I thought maybe it was just my busy life)
- sore boobs
- nausea
- thirsty
- dizzy

And of course since 10dpo they have gotten worse. I am so tired today my eyes are about to cross, but I keep telling myself....this is a good thing. I did have aches and cramps, but no worse than AF. And if this doesn't top it off....I started a new excercise program, that is intense cradio and weights, at about 4-5 dpo and I thought....if I am preggo this bean better hold on and if not then maybe I can stop gaining weight. I just got so tired of putting it off and I wanted a routine I could take into pregnancy. So, you just never know.

Lola: I thought of you poor DH when mine was so proud of himself. I will keep his sperm in my prayers...I know weird, but God will understand.

Tink: So glad the spotting stopped.

[LolaInLove]

Thanks Lola she was doing good but now she is back to sick again and wakes up...well so far it was only 1 bottle because she was hungry. I really hope she sleeps soon again.
I was so down this morning thinking better stop all this or I need a sign or something of hope...well I just looked out the kitchen window and the bluebirds are back !
When I started ttc in April this bluebird couple moved in our oak tree and made a nest and has some baby birds. So I took it as a sign that I can try ttc for a boy.And now they are back again! I even have a bird feeder on that tree lol. Ok I know it's silly but whatever...

I like that sign, too, Flava. Let's go with it!

[LolaInLove]

YAY! CONGRATS, officially!!! This one has got to be here to stay if you are having such symptoms right away!



Lola: I thought of you poor DH when mine was so proud of himself. I will keep his sperm in my prayers...I know weird, but God will understand.



:kissy: You are so sweet! I know, it is hard on him. This kind of thing makes men feel like less of a man for sure. I think God is totally ok with sperm prayers, wouldn't be the first one, that's for sure.

[LolaInLove]

On a sperm note.....I had this thought yesterday.....when I had the chemical in January, I decided that Dh and I would take DHEA and see how that affected us for the next try, which was March. He took a men's formula that has tribulus terrestus or whatever that stuff is in it....and we conceived again in March! Got me thinking, maybe the DHEA and the TT helped his testosterone level enough to make some more sperm those months. I am really thinking that he has a low T level because his sex drive has vanished and he is tired all the time. Which may have to do with A) me being fat now, and B) his job is pretty exhausting. So anyway, he's at the vitamin store now, LOL.

[Tink18]

wahoooooo wp. our due dates must be close!

where has iluv been!?

[Flava]

WP- wow such a dark line at 12 dpo! I don't know about intense cardio while pregnant. I guess I would not do it.
Im sure I will keep up the diet for a wile too just in case and not doing hard workouts for sure.

[melon]

Actually X and Y swim at the same speed and and live for the same time. So no worry about that.
Here is a great study to read http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?1562-What-are-the-REAL-differences-between-X-sperm-and-Y-sperm

Flava - Thank you so much for your responses. You are so nice in all your posts and enjoy reading them...

I am now really confused about swaying...If X & Y are same, timing is not important, high potassium/sodium diet is just a theory.....I just don't know what to use as base for my sway....

[3Pink1Blue]

Cemas- not sure about my girls but this one was conceived in a male sign. I haven't found anything that's right for all of mine though.

Flava- I like your sign too, run with it :)

Wp- woohoo!

Lola- tell him to scarf those sups, worked before right so it's totally worth a shot!

Dreamblue- base your sway on the high everything diet, more important then anything else.

I second that Tink, where the hell is Iluv?

[melon]

[QUOTE=Dreamblue- base your sway on the high everything diet, more important then anything else.

[/QUOTE]

Thanks 3P1B....seriously I am now way more relaxed with the sway on this site than IG. But I also wonder how can swaying be so easy.....no microscope, syringe, test tubes....haha....i used to think of these when i think about swaying on IG...now I am thinking about eating healthy......that's pretty much it....gender means more to me than DH so that takes lot of pressure off of me....I just have to make myself happy about whatever I do with this sway....

Well the cardio is intense, but only 20 minutes total workout, so I don't get too hot and not working out too long. It's fun and something I will be able to do almost until the end.....modifying a little.

I know it gets a bit confusing, but the HE is just letting your body think it is in a feast time with lots of healthy, fetility friendly food.

[3Pink1Blue]

Dreamblue- you are welcome I relaxed a lot after moving over here. I think IG says stress sways boy cause they give you so much lol Have you read up on swaying for a girl? I discovered what I normally do that, in theory, sways girl and focused on those. Basically my vit d levels, excessive cardio, restricted low nutrient calories and use of sperm hostile lube all needed to be changed.

Oh and ITA with WP, HE is about feast time so LOTS of healthy foods.

[TTC5]

Flava - Thank you so much for your responses. You are so nice in all your posts and enjoy reading them...

I am now really confused about swaying...If X & Y are same, timing is not important, high potassium/sodium diet is just a theory.....I just don't know what to use as base for my sway....

Focus on diet first, you want to change your internal environment (your pH and good EWCM) to favour that of the boy sperm. Secondly, apply the timing technique, but this comes second to the diet. Your body overall needs to be "well nourished" to accomodate a boy, more girls are born to mothers who tend to eat less/diet/lose large amounts of weight and less muscle tone.

[TTC5]

Well the cardio is intense, but only 20 minutes total workout, so I don't get too hot and not working out too long. It's fun and something I will be able to do almost until the end.....modifying a little.

You do need to watch your heartrate whilst pregnant, so I would get yourself a heartrate monitor to strap to your forearm :) I will see if I can find the info for what the rates should be within :)

It would have nothing to do with your weight gain, don't ever think that Lola xxx

[TTC5]

Do you girls belive in the male/female moon sign on the day of conception? this was somewhere on IG.Was it right with your kids?

I'm on the line with this one.

[TTC5]

ELP- too funny :)

Ttc5- I think, as a group, we passed tmi and gross long ago lol I had a little slime in the panties but gobs when I wiped.

Flava- ugh sorry you're all sick again. This is truly the worst thing about lots of kids, it takes forever for crap to go away and then sometimes just when you think you're clear it starts all over. So frustrating.

I forget who asked but ignore the IG calcium theory, talk to the boy moms they ate milk, cheese, dairy galore. It's so not worth stressing about.

Thankyou! I often hear of others having it hanging out lol and was worried this is what we had to have too!

ELP - thanks for that info!!!!

I seem to be getting some heartburn, I am not having any baking soda drinks or URALS though? Would it be from the salt or maybe the lemon water??

[LolaInLove]

I seem to be getting some heartburn, I am not having any baking soda drinks or URALS though? Would it be from the salt or maybe the lemon water??

Hmmm, are you having greasy food or lots of red meat lately? Maybe have a bsd to calm it, that helps!

[3Pink1Blue]

Ttc5- the lemon water can definitely do it, lay off it for a week or so and see if it goes away.

[Flava]

Thanks , I try to help when I can. Just do the HE diet good I do the same and eat nuts and dry fruit every day too.
IG was very comlicated I did msu for #4 and did not worked.

[Flava]

You don't sound silly at all!!

Hope your DD is better soon xx

Thanks! They just got antibiotics today so i really hope they feel better soon! Im a little better today so also hope Im all fine by O time.

On IG, there were 7 sway factors, and even if you did all of them, which was a ton of work, sways did not work all of the time, of course. Since then, a lot of the moderators have found more studies and come to some brilliant conclusions that much of it IS theory, but some has some science behind it. You really have to decide what you feel comfortable with and what you put stock in as far as helping you....and some trial and error with supplements and such. Basically, there are three things that we think helps: increasing your DH's sperm count and the sperm count inside you when you ttc, increasing your ewcm and getting the best and most fertile cervical mucus you can, and lastly, and maybe most importantly, having a good, high nutrient diet and not letting your blood sugar drop. (The diet and blood sugar thing is based on the Trivers-Willard Hypothesis, where males are conceived more often from the "top" women who have a plentiful diet and hence, are more likely to survive because male babies need more nutrients and such in the womb and after....whereas females are more likely to be conceived by women who have poor diets because they can survive with less....that is it in a nutshell.) Hope this helps you plan what you want to do....of course, there are a ton of excellent sticky posts under TTC Boy, and I would spend some time reading ALL of them before you make a plan. We are here for your questions, though!

[Flava]

DH 's pH is lower this month...last month was 8.8 and now is 7.7
Im thinking the vit. C lowered it .He was drinking grapefruit and orange juice and also eat some gummy vit. C lol.
Im waiting for another sample today to check it he on on bsd now. LOL
Anyway atomic said 7.7 is pretty good because they like to hang out in that pH so they may live longer in it I guess, but I hope we can go to 8...I would be happy for that.


Well it's 7.9 today. I guess we can get to 8 by O he just have to stop the vit. C stuff .
(but it's not like we don't try with this pH lol)

Yes I am talking about Plumlily. I don't go there much.

May be from lemon... I just started using lemons....1/2 or 1 lemon a day mostly...is that too much or too little? I already feel like I might be getting heart burn from it...

Well I check it 1 more time today because O is nowhere yet...I guess it's coming late this month too. Im not sure about BSF because if his pH is lower then the BS or EW I have no clue if that's ok to use it?:think: I wanted to use EW...

[Flava]

Nuts - About nuts.. Are there any exceptions in boy diet or all the nuts are allowed?

Im eating nuts every single day. Mixed nuts with sea salt and also walnuts.

Hiya Flava, good luck for this month:) Hopefully that egg will turn up soon for you:agree:

[Flava]

Most likely the Vit C ...7.9 pretty much an 8, I agree with TTC5, LOL.

Yeah no more vit. C wth is he thinking? lol and he was whining for the grapefruit juice..:sigh: I give him the ice pack it's time to start using it...:p

[Flava]

Hiya Flava, good luck for this month:) Hopefully that egg will turn up soon for you:agree:

Thanks! Im super scared because of last month...I guess O is late from the damn fertile cm again...I only took 2 this time but stop taking it today.

[Flava]

DH just came home drinking a freaking diet pepsi!:nono: omg wth is wrong with this dude?? :hair: I made him a nice acv drink...told him no more soda!!

[Alexis2007]

LOL Flava....I only let DH have a Pepsi 1hr before dtd (which we mostly dtd in the morning so he didn't have one then). Anyway, Good Luck on your attempt! FX

I am 1dpo today. Major temp spike this morning, so I know for sure I O'ed yesterday. We did O-2, O-1, and O. Same bd schedule as when I had my BFP (chemical). Hoping it works again for a sticky BFP! No sway or anything. Actually have been trying to lose weight, but having trouble (as I knew I would :(). Been working out more though and drinking my lemon water still since I've grown to like it lol. Had a tiny bit of ewcm this cycle on CD 12 and CD 15. Better than nothing I guess. I also used softcups and Preseed. Hope it worked! FX

Flava I REALLY hope you're right!!! I am waiting to test again ....

[My Fabulous Children]

DH just came home drinking a freaking diet pepsi!:nono: omg wth is wrong with this dude?? :hair: I made him a nice acv drink...told him no more soda!!

LOL Flava, Mine does the same thing 'Sometimes'.

[My Fabulous Children]

LOL Flava....I only let DH have a Pepsi 1hr before dtd (which we mostly dtd in the morning so he didn't have one then). Anyway, Good Luck on your attempt! FX

I am 1dpo today. Major temp spike this morning, so I know for sure I O'ed yesterday. We did O-2, O-1, and O. Same bd schedule as when I had my BFP (chemical). Hoping it works again for a sticky BFP! No sway or anything. Actually have been trying to lose weight, but having trouble (as I knew I would :(). Been working out more though and drinking my lemon water still since I've grown to like it lol. Had a tiny bit of ewcm this cycle on CD 12 and CD 15. Better than nothing I guess. I also used softcups and Preseed. Hope it worked! FX

FX for you hun, GL.

[TTC5]

Oooo! Lucky, lucky :bigsmile: xxxxx

Can't wait!!

[TTC5]

Well I check it 1 more time today because O is nowhere yet...I guess it's coming late this month too. Im not sure about BSF because if his pH is lower then the BS or EW I have no clue if that's ok to use it?:think: I wanted to use EW...

I reckon it would be fine :)

9 DPO- bfn this morning I know Iam testing too early but want to anyway .. I feel a bit disappointed I should have waited a little bit longer ..Will test again in 2 days.

I really hope I get to say OMG soon, LOL ..When did you get your BFP ELP?

Still early days!

[Flava]

[3Pink1Blue]

So many about to or just attempted!! So exciting!

[Hobbermittens]

Jumping back in ladies! Sorry I haven't been around much--been busy, busy, busy. My 18 month old is a terror and is keeping me on my toes!

WP, did you get a BFP? I don't have time to comb through all the older posts I missed. Anyone else?

We are set to try pretty soon... I should see AF in a few days, and then it won't be long after that!! I am so nervous...

[Tink18]

HI ladies, just coming over here to give some baby dust to those who are attempting and have made the attempt! I really hope this is it for you!!! Sending my love and support! xoxo

Iluv had her gender u/s, right?

[ELP]

Iluv had her gender u/s, right?Did she!!! I hope she had some H&H news, and a little man for her would be a bonus!! Come on iluv, check in soon just so we know you are ok xxx

[Foxy]

MFC - Are you going to test or wait for AF? I have everything crossed for you!!!

[Tink18]

i have been wondering about iluv for a while. hope all is well with everything

[TTC5]

I sent her a private message, I'm a little concerned...

[Foxy]

I hope all is well with iluv and she had good news at her u/s.

[begonia]

I sent her a private message, I'm a little concerned...

I did too a couple of days ago but haven't heard from her :( I really do hope she's OK.

[TTC5]

I did too a couple of days ago but haven't heard from her :( I really do hope she's OK.

Oh really? MMMMMMMM ...

[Hobbermittens]

Oh, now I am worried about her too! :(

[My Fabulous Children]

MFC - Are you going to test or wait for AF? I have everything crossed for you!!!

I tested this morning and it was a BFN :sad: I know AF is on her way!!!

I'm already planning my next attempt.

[My Fabulous Children]

I'm really worried about iluv, I really hope she's okay. Hope she checks in soon.

[My Fabulous Children]

Question ladies, What brand of prenatal vitamins do you take?

[begonia]

I'm sorry MFC :( When I was TTC I took a gummy prenatal that had DHA in it. Vitafusion was the brand. Now I take something else called Rainbow Light ... it's what I took when pg with DD2 and she seemed to turn out OK ;)

[Tink18]

Found this Cool article on early gender detection, what do you guys think!? It was right for DD's U/S at 7 weeks.

http://hcp.obgyn.net/fetal-monitoring/content/article/1760982/1878451

[begonia]

Hey chickadee! I replied in your post in the other forum. Ramzi was wrong for me; mine was def right sided according to my OB in this pg, and here I am knocked up with DD3 :) Doesn't necessarily mean Ramzi was wrong though ... I could just be one of those weird, random right-sided girl-makers.

[Tink18]

I love that you called me Chickadee...maybe the u/s tech was wrong! What about your other daughters?

[My Fabulous Children]

I'm sorry MFC :( When I was TTC I took a gummy prenatal that had DHA in it. Vitafusion was the brand. Now I take something else called Rainbow Light ... it's what I took when pg with DD2 and she seemed to turn out OK ;)

Thanks B, How are you feeling dear? I really miss you girl xxxx

[skrimpy]

Question ladies, What brand of prenatal vitamins do you take?

I take New Chapter's Perfect Prenatal :)

[begonia]

I love that you called me Chickadee...maybe the u/s tech was wrong! What about your other daughters?

You know I do think the study itself is really impressive! It's just so strange to me that it wasn't picked up on if it's so accurate. Ramzi replied on a thread in IG once and said some strange stuff about other scientists were jealous, etc... and I'm like ... would a legit research scientist really invest his time in a swaying board? And really? It's not more well known (outside of us gender crazy ladies) because of jealousy?!? At the same time there's a gal on IG who was pretty good at predicting, Alsestis ... I think she was somewhere around 70% on people's scans. I remember she guessed girl on Babydes's early scan and she did end up with a girl. So maybe there is something to it? Not as good as nub theory IMO but still something to obsess over, and we all need that :)

I tried to find the early scans from my other DDs but they're in storage still. We move in 2 weeks so I'll probably dig them out at some point; maybe I carry all my DD's with a right sided placenta! Who knows?

I would love the u/s to be wrong but I don't know ... I didn't get any shots of the gender bc I didn't want to have DH find them and be like, what?!?! You found out?!?! So since my scan was on the DL I only had her tell me gender, not give me a pic ... she showed me though and I definitely didn't see a penis! I really had my hopes up though .. the Ramzi thing, how much my body changed from swaying, and lots of other OWT had me thinking boy was a real possibility for us this time. Oh well ... I'm getting past it and really doing SO much better lately. I have a scan on 10/24 and will be totally checking out the goods even though we aren't going to "find out" then. I figure there's maaaaaaaybe a 2% chance that girl was wrong at the elective scan, and wouldn't that be the greatest birth surprise ever if she was :)

MFC I'm on here every day but mostly post on other threads; coming back to this one isn't the easiest for me bc it takes me back to when I still had a shot, KWIM? This thread makes it hard for me to move on... but when I see a post pop up it does make me want to wander over and see what y'all are up to! And I stalk looking BFPs :) Hoping Clomid gets things going for you next cycle! And FWIW I have a good friend who had 2 boys on Clomid! Anyhow, I was really happy to see you come back so will definitely be sticking around and cheering you on. I hope your DS gets his baby brother!

[TTC5]

I tested this morning and it was a BFN :sad: I know AF is on her way!!!

I'm already planning my next attempt.

Bummer :( xx

[TTC5]

I love you popping im Begonia, don't feel alone, cos you already have a few other mummas getting pink after wanting blue and I have a feeling there is more to come!!

[TTC5]

Question ladies, What brand of prenatal vitamins do you take?

When I am utd I will switch to Elevit :)

[Foxy]

MFC - It's not over till the fat lady sings. xxxx

[Flava]

Ok I have a crazy cycle! All this time I had a low window on my monitor.Checked the stick just to see the lines and there was only 1! Only the last 2 days I saw a second line but so faint I could barely see it.(this never happened before)
Anyway I have SO much EWCM it's not funny...wanted to do a smiley test last night but forget it but I think it would be a +.
Ok now this morning bumm I got a peak window and a smiley!
This damn monitor went to low to peak again with no high day. And the line on the stick what I did not have even yesterday it's darker then the control! WTH? This also never happened to me before.
Cool...now I can't wait 2 days just 1 because we did dtd tonight. (did 1 last night)
Im sure O is tonight or very early morning so we can't wait. Hope this works out anyway.
This is our last try no matter what!

[Flava]

I just checked my things and Im in full moon phase (O is 4 days after full moon) and the moon is in Gemini (boy sign)
and my bio chart is in all boy on the peak day . The blue line is up the top from the 15th to 17th and I O on the 16th!
So according to this I suppose to have a boy for sure.:rofl: And if not I have a proof that none of this works. LOL

Of course first I need a bfp...I did the diet and all real good so now I wait...one last time...

[Foxy]

FX Flava for a blue BFP!!

[TTC5]

FX for you Flava :)

[ams]

Hi all, some of u may remember me but I was Round a few months back but lost bub. So I am starting diet and supps again planning to try in dec. But hubby had a hot spa last night do u think this matters? We are still about 10 weeks out of dtd and I will get him to ice from now on! What do u think???? Oh and congrats to all with their bfPs since my last visit : )

[Hobbermittens]

Hope you get a BFP flava!! I have my fingers crossed for you!

MFC, sorry about the BFN...

Does anyone know if gizmo is trying right now, or did her attempt already?

Good luck flava. We both miscarried together a few weeks back and both at five weeks. What day did you m/c? I havent done any opks but we dtd for fun so who knows. must admit it was nice to not have it be a job! lol.

How many days are you since the m/c?
Did you do o-2 and then o?

good luck!

[skrimpy]

Flava you don't read the Clearblue sticks like an OPK - there is no control line. One line is estrogen. The other is LH. One dark line is low estrogen (not fertile) ... That line FADES as Estrogen Peaks... The LH gets DARK as the LH surge begins... So your one dark line will get lighter and your LH line gets darker. That's a peak, when he LH line appears. Usually you get a high when the estrogen line fades but the LH surge hasn't started yet.

Maybe your LH surge began right as your estrogen peaked...

I hope this makes sense, trying to type it all out on my phone!

[skrimpy]

Also wanted to note that you do read the smiley monitor sticks like a regular OPK :)

[hope.ful]

Hey Ladies, I haven't had much time lately with DD2's 3rd Birthday but wanted to pop in and post quick. DH had a business trip AGAIN now, which is right when we should have been ttc. We decided to bd a little early. I know it's girl zone according to Shettles but we have had such problems getting pregnant, I wonder if we are waiting too long and missing the egg. So we went for it. We'll see if anything happens, but we're looking forward to next month! Prayers for all those ttc!

good luck!

I had a m/c 17 dpo. And now Im on CD 17. We did well not sure what we did..I think O was last night but look at my chart my temp did not go up today.So if O was last night then we did O -1 and on O . If it's today then O -2 and O -1.(or -half lol)

We all know no to read the CB sticks like that don't worry lol but when we take it out we all check it anyway.
But interesting because my one dark line don't get lighter I just get another line too.

What avout cervix position? Because mine was so high this month I could barely reach it. Normally I don't have it so high only this month.
I read something atomic said that if it's very high you have a strong O that cycle....well I hope.
O pain vas very bad too BD was not fan at all.I had to push my tummy with my hand because it hurt so much. Even walking hurt yesterday.
Today is all better so I think I O'd already.? not sure...

[Flava]

Hope you get a BFP flava!! I have my fingers crossed for you!

So you dtd twice ..only 24hours between?

[My Fabulous Children]

iluv emailed me to say congrats! i wrote back asking wher she has been! hthb from her!


Tink18, did you dtd once or more? can you please share your timing?

[My Fabulous Children]

Hey, where's Lola?

I know, haven't seen her around.. I hope she's fine.

[TTC5]

No sorry I hope she is ok...did she had a gender scan yet?

I got a reply from her, she didn't say about the scan but has a bit going on right now.

[Tink18]

Yes we DTD 3 times. ALL 3 times were around 9 pm ( after DD went to bed) I got my positive opk on the 23rd of sept around 9 am. We dtd the 19th, 22nd and 23rd about 13 hours after positive opk. I did the BSF all three times about 45 mins before. DH drank a rockstar about and hour before...poor guy barely slept all week! And we did it Doggystyle all 3 times. I laid with my legs up for at least 30 mins after each time too. I think that is it for what I did In the DTD department. I do have to say I felt like doing it 3 days before was a bit risky for a boy attempt, but for some reason that month I got my positive opk on cd15 rather then cd14 like I normally did. In any case...I am thrilled to be pregnant as we will have one more after this regardless on gender.

Let me know If I can answer anything else.

I did have stuff under the bed for luck but we never ended up doing it on our bed! It is all still there though I am leaving it!

[TTC5]

That will come around so quickly! We're trying next month (this cycle). I remember months ago thinking I had so much time to wait before ttc and now it's almost time!

Whats your plan? xx

[TTC5]

Good luck on your attempt Flava!!! FX!

I'm 6 dpo and waiting......been very tired. Had some sharp cramps last night. FX!!

Thanks Flava! I've been kinda worried about my temps. Trying not to stress about it.

I must have missed it, but why did you guys decide this is your last attempt? If you don't mind my asking.

[Plum3]

Good luck on your attempt Flava!!! FX!

I'm 6 dpo and waiting......been very tired. Had some sharp cramps last night. FX!!

Fingers crossed! When are you going to test?

[Alexis2007]

Fingers crossed! When are you going to test?

I'm only testing if AF doesn't show. It's due on the 24th. Too far away! I don't know if I can hold out lol!

[Plum3]

I got a reply from her, she didn't say about the scan but has a bit going on right now.


Hope she is ok!

[Plum3]

I'm only testing if AF doesn't show. It's due on the 24th. Too far away! I don't know if I can hold out lol!

That's a long wait! I'm hoping when we try that I will be able to wait til AF is due too. I'm doubtful though!

[Plum3]

Whats your plan? xx

We've been on the HE diet and supps for 7 weeks so far. DH was pretty much on it anyway. Ural AF-O. Going to order some preseed too. And I think we are going to BD every 2nd/3rd day leading up to O. I'm Oing without Clomid at the moment but irregularly. So if this cycle doesn't work I will be going on Clomid and will be able to predict O. In that case will try O-2 and O. How bout you?

I'm only testing if AF doesn't show. It's due on the 24th. Too far away! I don't know if I can hold out lol!

Good idea really lol but oh the patience that must take!

We've been on the HE diet and supps for 7 weeks so far. DH was pretty much on it anyway. Ural AF-O. Going to order some preseed too. And I think we are going to BD every 2nd/3rd day leading up to O.

So do you mean bd'ing as in trying or releasing, sorry to be nosey lol.

Well I am doing a HE style too and still unsure wether to try an 0-2 and O or just O....

Gosh, good point, I hadn't actually thought about that. I thought I had everything planned down pat too! I'm not too sure now. The earliest I O is CD27 so I suppose we will BD from at least CD25 every 2 days until O. What do you think? Or I just don't know whether to start actually BDing now every 2 to 3 days? I know this is what Lola did when she was on Clomid.

Question ladies... my pH is 6 and was 6 when I first checked it about 8 weeks ago. It stays at 6 when I O as well. Shouldn't it be higher when I O? DH's pH is 8.5 (the dipstick doesn't read any higher so it actually might be higher than this) so I'm pretty happy with that.

Thanks Skrimpy, looks GREAT!!! So you're are taking 3 pills a day?

Yes, I take the three a day. I get it via Amazon Subscribe and Save which makes them less expensive :)

[Flava]

I guess I was
further along then you were. I am not swaying anymore so not sure what day I am on or even when my first af will come.
Are u done trying after this month?

Yes we are done DH said no more.Im also tired of it...

[Flava]

So you dtd twice ..only 24hours between?

Yes I did ! Need high count right? 2 bd will not lower sperm count so no worries.

[Flava]

Thanks Flava! I've been kinda worried about my temps. Trying not to stress about it.

I must have missed it, but why did you guys decide this is your last attempt? If you don't mind my asking.
It's because we already have 4 kids...Im 37 and money is not a lot ...and really DH says we have enough kids and ttc is so hard and expensive and so on...we are just tired.I don't think HD ever wanted to start ttc anyway.I guess he just don't believe we can get a boy. Maybe I think the same...

pH is hard to chance .At least for me but it goes higher around O. I only saw that after I got a digi tester. paper strip is not good.

[Flava]

Some one help me out here?? Maybe I did not O this month? But then what was that big O pain I had??
Im sure I O'd late cd 16 or very early cd 17 but look at my chart what is going on with my temps???
it's not going up it is going down! And if FF wait only for a temp rise to look for O it will put it on a wrong day for sure.
Oh and there was no more smiley last night when I did another test.(only on the morning)

Flava - That is weird? Could you be ovulating today perhaps?

No I don't think so it way to late for that.
Also I already have creamy cm and i always have some ewcm after O and creamy come only after that!
