Blue Sway Review / Weeks Away

[Katie.Z]

Here I am weeks away from my Blue sway, I am incredibly anxious, consumed with thoughts of failure mostly with a few sparkling thoughts of hope. I think about this 24/7 nowadays and i sure hope this stress doesn’t get the best of me, when it comes to my sway. Where are all the blue sweaters, anyway? Anyone?


My sway. It’s certainly not perfect but here is the truth

I love my breakfast. Always have. Breakfast everyday is a bowl of berries, two protein waffles, heaps of spoons of peanut butter and decaf tea.

Snack usually chocolate almonds

Lunch is a loaded wrap most days / chicken/ turkey/ tuna. Sometimes I have a really loaded salad with chickpeas, sweet potatoes, beets, kale, and lots of chicken.

Snacking between lunch and dinner is plentiful. I workout a lot (all lifting) and I am always hungry. Snacks are bananas, full fat cheese, oatmeal cookies, any kind of cookies, apples, sometime aprotein bars, dark chocolate.

Dinner is usually red meat, chicken or turkey with a carb like rice/ sweet Potato/ buckwheat ( I do not eat potatoes or pasta ever although I do realize it doesn’t go well with a blue sway I feel like I do choose plenty of healthy carbs to counter) Ah I hope that’s ok

After dinner snacks/ full fat yogurt/ lots of dry fortified cereal ( I love Cheerios) / full fat cottage cheese. Another thing that worries me is I do not drink milk, I just can’t bring myself to do it. But I do eat full fat yogurt and cottage cheese and do have cheese in my wraps.

Drinks/ water/ coconut water/ full sodium veggie juice with brewers yeast powder. Lots of tea (green every day/ I also like tulsi tea its caffeine free) Coffee about every other day sometimes 4 times a week. I cut the coffee at one point didnÂ’t drink for several months, but lately it’s saving me some days.

Fitness/ I have worked out all of my life. The last year I have really stepped it up a notch mostly because my workouts bring me peace, stress relief, hope, and mental clarity. I lift weights about 4 days a week sometimes 5. Heavy weights, like more than most men that work out next to me. At the same time I am very petite. I am 5.3 and 125lbs so I look skinny but I am very strong.

Although I haven’t gained weight as a result of the sway I am heavier now than I was before conceiving DD1 and DD2. I am much healthier I feel, and definetely have more muscle which is probably why the scale shows more even though I am the same size in clothes.

My husband has quit smoking. He has been taking Men’s 1 a Day and Fish oil for about a year.

I religiously take my women’s 1 a day (every day for two years) and I also take fish oil and probiotics

I do drink red wine. Maybe 2- 3 days a week at the very very most. Husband has never been much of a drinker but he occasionally has a very modest amount of whiskey to take the edge off. This can be maybe once a week or once a month. Hes not a big drinker

Not that I amso close to my sway nothing feels good enough. Maybe I didn’t eat enough, maybe I should have gained weight, maybe I work out too much, so many thoughts so many worries. Praying that the odds will be in my favor. And that I can calm my nerves a little in the next few weeks.

With DD1 and 2 we had only 1 attempt. Husband smoked, and took heavy medications which he is no longer taking it will be two years this year. I also was an occasional smoker, was skinny, but always had a pretty decent diet.

That is it I think.

I think your sway looks great! I have two boys and never had any dairy (apart from some milk in my cereal) so don’t worry about that. I had freshly squeezed juice pretty much every day, and lots of tea, never coffee. I’m TTC pink though so wanted to ask - did you exercise before conceiving your daughters? What was your BMI? Was your one attempt close to ovulation? Both my boys were one attempt on a high fertility day. Good luck, sending you all my blue dust! :) x

Hi, unfortunately I'm not a blue swayer, but wanted to say, I think your sway looks great.
I wasn't eating that often, and still got 2 boys. I think it's awesome your husband quit smoking! I see a lot of girls are conceived to smoking dads (or moms) although of course it's not a magic bullet. 😉
Just wanted to wish you luck and again, I think that's a great sway!

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Thirdtimelucky01. I have always loved my workouts, and yes I did exercise before conceiving both my girls, with girl number one it was more light lifting with girl number two it was a little heavier lifting but still lighter than what’s in doing now. I don’t know what my BMI was but i can say i was skinny, maybe very skinny before conceiving both girls. My weight then was like 110-115 lbs Max. I’ve never had the typical girl diet I was always a conscious healthy eater, always ate breakfast. But I was young and did have other bad habits, like occasional smoking and heavier drinking as we were young and going out a lot. My first daughter was planned. I didn’t know about swaying back then so I can’t recall exactly when my attempt was, how close it was to ovulation, I can just say with certainly it was one attempt. I’m sorry not much help I am.

Daughter two was a surprise so I unfortunately can’t say how close to ovulation I was there either but it was for sure one attempt. I can say that my husband and I seem to be content with DTD once a week. Sometimes it was even every other week. This is another change we have made this time. More frequency DTD although still not every 3 days, but every 4 he releases. I know that sperm health may also sway Blue or Pink, so worth mentioning. DH is overall in much better shape this time than with the girls.

Thirdtimelucky01, can I ask what were your DTD patterns when you conceived your boys? Was it more frequent? Did you use a ovulation year to determine when to attempt? I’m so so nervous. I have a girlfriend who just got pregnant with her third child, her first two are girls, this one is a boy. Husband is a heavy smoker, she’s skinny mini, and they said third was a surprise. I’m so happy for them truly, but it makes me so nervous too that all of this thinking and swaying and who knows ultimately what will be.

It’s so nice to have this forum at least to compare these intimate notes and at the least give ourselves the best chance possible at our boys and girls.

[Katie.Z]

Lailanela thank you so much ❤️

[atomic sagebrush]

Katie, I wanted to clarify what you wrote in this other thread because you're mixed up on when to have attempts: https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum/swaying-studies-and-scientific-research/291-beauty-mucus-3.html#post1041145 It's PEAK not high

Other than that I think you guys are on target for a phenominal attempt!!! I can't even find a thing to change! Tons of blue dust headed your way!

Thanks for the info, Katie Z, with both we DTD once, DS1 was conceived on a flashy smile day (high fertility) and DS2 on a solid smile day (peak fertility). I was a bit heavier with first and super skinny with second (lost 17 kilos) but it made no difference. So my only guess that the diet makes a difference. I’m not skipping breakfast- I like my breakfast- but try to eat in moderation with no snacking, which I did with the boys (I always snacked on healthy things though, fruits, carrot sticks etc). I was always a healthy eater, always did intermittent fasting 12-14 hours overnight, had juices, egg and bacon wrap or porridge in the morning, then red meat and steam vegetables for lunch and a salad for dinner. Avoided carbs like a plague! My normal diet was very red meat heavy. Walked a lot, did Pilates, light weights, but never had much muscle weight though! Hated coffee and always had tea, a few times a day. Never ate late. Was a massive control freak and a very dominant personality. Was quite stressed at work so sex was not frequent, used Clearbue ovulation sticks both times. Hope that helps!

Good luck Katie!

I am a soon to be blue swayer (again - tried swaying for #3 but got my gorgeous DD3 ^^)... I think it all ookks fab! The fact that your hubby has quit smoking is likely to be one of the biggest factors to help you sway blue - you already were gearing towards blue with diet and exercise..so add a bit more BDs and you should be leaning the balance in the right direction :)
Good luck!

[Katie.Z]

Atomic, hi, yes thank you so very much for that crucial clarification. I attempt only when ovulation test results in “Peak” (not high). I test in the morning, if I get a “peak” result I attempt that same night, again the morning after and again that night (2 in one day). Got it.

Please another question. I can’t access my old coaching notes with you for some reason. What is the dosage per day of guaifenesin, and any particular time best to take it? Thank you endlessly ❤️

[Katie.Z]

Thirdtimelucky01 yes it helps a lot. Thank you so much. All the pink dust to you!

[Katie.Z]

LMSM, so exited to have another blue swayer. May I ask about your past sway, and if you’re doing anything differently this time around?

May the odds of all things blue be in our favor.

[LMSM]

Here's my sway ;)
https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum/add-your-boy-sway-/60226-lmsm-sway-attempt-its-girl.html

This time I will adjust the supps (will get a personalised plan closer to the time) - and get more exercise in, i.e build muscle, be more careful with the carbs I do eat etc, up the competitive spirit...and way more BD :P we are not TTC'ing for another 10 months, but we have a pretty solid EOD pattern already so hope that when TTC time comes, it'll be easy to keep it up! :D

[Katie.Z]

What a great sway attempt you had! Wow. Thanks so much for sharing LMSM

[LMSM]

Pleasure :)
If you have a sway, be curious to read it too! :)

[Katie.Z]

Thai thread is my sway. I haven’t swayed the first two times with my girls. This would be my first sway.

Cool - it's just that I thought you might have a separate thread possibly to outline everything ;)

[Olivia Rose next]

Ive read about being cold sways boy. Ive researched lots. As am a boy mum of 4) i know lafies personal who have put there husband in cold baths and showers for weeks. Even ice on there testicles. Ladies who have cooled sperm in there fridge. All i must say worked. As did the heating up sperm for a girl. Am hoping to sway this winter. Am desprate for a little girl. Good luck. Also sending blue dust your way xxx

[Katie.Z]

Hi Olivia this is fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing. All my pink dust to you!

[Katie.Z]

Atomic what do you think about cool shower before DTD ?

DO NOT DO THIS. While I always appreciate anyone chiming in to share information they've heard, I beg you guys, please, please, please, any blue swayer reading this, it is not something I recommend and have seen many women back on IG torturing their poor hubbies in this fashion only to end up with girls.

Let me explain about "icing testicles" and cold showers and such and why it doesn't work the way people say.

Sperm are harmed by heat. We know this. So for some men (particularly those who have to wear tight underwear, who exercise a lot, or who have varicocele) their sperm can be harmed by being too hot for too long.

But just because sperm have been killed by heat, this does not mean they are magically resurrected by cold!!! Sperm are not Wolverine, they don't get damaged by heat and then cured by cold temperatures. I have a full explanation about all that here: https://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/62485-family-jewels-faq-blue-pink.html#post960106 but suffice it to say that while heat does harm sperm, putting ice on your husband's testicles does not fix that and only makes your husband really irritated and LESS likely to do the things that actually sway.

Taking a man's semen and putting it in the refrigerator is a terrible idea that will dramatically cut odds of conception and certainly would not sway blue. The more you mess around with sperm, the worse it is for your chances of blue. Just get it in there and leave it alone, no manipulating it, the more you mess with sperm, the more of them die, and the more of them that die, the more pink friendly that batch of semen likely is. We have seen overwhelmingly XX conceived with the turkey baster approach (where people use syringes to inject semen into their VJ) even with blue sways because the more you mess with sperm, the more of them die.

Now, I know some of you are saying "but they say not to wear tight underwear! They say to wear those cooling pants!" But when you look at those things, they are doing that stuff for like 8-10-12 hours. Having a guy sleep in the nude overnight is NOT the same as a cold bath for 20 minutes, or a sack of frozen peas on his balls 15 minutes before sex. Having a guy wear the cooling underwear (which are NOT FREEZING BTW, just cooling) for 8-10 hours works differently. Doing stuff like that gives his balls time to work under optimal circumstances for longer and make more sperm over the course of many hours. It is not the same thing as icing balls before sex, which does nothing whatsoever. Don't do it.

[Katie.Z]

Ice bath is being called off stat, lol, copy! I had a good laugh at “sperm are not wolverine” ��

Atomic speaking of damaging sperm, I recently read in an older thread here about how preseed may damage sperm and cause some opposites. Are you still pro pressed for Blue?

I need a link to that thread so I can clarify what I was saying in it. Preseed is designed to HELP imitate as closely as possible the body's natural CM.

Preseed has been shown in one study to be slightly less good than EWCM for sperm. If you have lots of EWCM, personally, I'd try with just EWCM. (hey, it got me 4 boys) But it is still by far and away better for sperm than anything else and so for those who need a lube, Preseed or Conceive Plus all the way baby! :)

Additionally, there is a fairly large group of people who just cannot live without sticking something up their VJ for swaying. If I don't let them use Preseed, they'll use baking soda (bad) or egg white (so so so very much worse). So the Preseed is the best option of many very bad options and while it may not be ~quite~ as good as the body's natural CM, I completely understand that for people who got girls with their body's natural CM, there is really a strong urge to do SOMEthing different and they really are not confident without the Preseed, so Preseed it is.

[Katie.Z]

I see. I’ll try to find the link, I think it’s back from 2016 where there is a discussion about why so many blue sways are failing (although there were not many blue sways at all). I’ll try to find link.

I have never used lube or stuck anything up there lol. I would say my CM is decent, I’m never dry but it’s not like heroic CM either

[atomic sagebrush]

Ah yes I am very familiar with that thread, LOL.

I was just speculating on potential causes for opposites. I always keep my eyes open and ears peeled for any possible causes of opposites. I personally (very strongly) feel that there was nothing amiss in the sways at all, we had good results before and had good results after using Preseed and all the rest of it, but I was forced to speculate in that thread rather than get personal and rake people over the coals and dismantle their sways publicly. I personally seriously doubt anyone's sways failed because of Preseed.

We did cut way back on almond milk and wheatgrass supps at that time. Again, I personally doubt any sways failed because of that, but it may be something to consider - skip wheatgrass supps, keep almond milk to a dull roar.

[Katie.Z]

Atomic I purchased mucinex 600 guaifenesin only tablets today. Do you recommend 1 tablet a day 5 days before? Ok to take in the am?

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes! You can also take them for 1-2 days after too to be sure you have enough fluid in the tubes for the fertilized egg to move down into the uterus. :)

[Katie.Z]

Thank you thank you. ❤️
