Hi there,

I have been diagnosed with endometriosis (I live Australia).
I have 2 boys conceived within 2 months and 6 months TTC (took 6 months for my mirena to leave my system, first normal cycle I got pregnant)
My last pregnancy was a confirmed boy through Harmony test but then miscarried 1.5 weeks later. - this was LE DIET sway.

Should I try LE DIET PCOS because my sway didnt work or stick to just LE DIET?
Which has better results?

Same here pinkbow.
So sorry for your loss...it's so hard.
2 boys conceived in 2nd month and 6th month ttcing and third boy conceived on LE Diet and MMC early in pg, very sadly...
I am not sure about what to do atm, will you try again? I am looking into LE Diet for PCOS now as I was never diagnosed PCOS (my ovaries look fine probably), but I show some sign of it. I was never asked to do bloods, so Idk for sure...
Best wishes and baby dust to you!

Thank you @ForeverRestless and sorry for your loss too!

Did you go hard on your sway? I felt like I did everything right and did the diet and cardio daily for 5 months before conceiving and 1 attempt on pos OPK.

Yes we would like to try again just want to make sure hubby and I have completely healed.
I'm wondering as that was our 3rd boy that it affects our odds too?

Thinking of you and pink dust all over you! x

You can go through my sway somewhere at the attempts section. Yes I did a pretty strict sway and I feel I did everything I could. Maybe too much??
Or maybe I just had bad luck, but It would be my 2nd failed sway, so I really feel there’s no way for us to have a girl.
No matter what, it’s the male spermie that wins the race every time :) maybe I am just destined to boys!

I am still on the mend too, last year has been very hard on me as I not only lost the baby but also my mom. So I am gathering some info and trying to figuring out how the pcos diet works but I did not decide anything at the moment.

About our odds, I think I read somewhere that after the 3rd of the same gender you are more likely to conceive an opposite.
Worth a trial?? hmmmm………
Pink dust to you, hon!!

@ForeverRestless, Yes I'm thinking I'm destined for boys too.
I'm 1 of 5 girls and all my siblings have multiple girls.

Oh my heart breaks for you!! You did have an awful year! I'm so sorry [emoji17]

Best of luck for whatever direction you choose x

ANYONE who feels they can stick with the LE PCOS type diet should be on it. We have gotten much better results and now I'm using it for as many people as I can. There are some people who can't stick with it, or will lose way too much weight on it, but yes anyone with endometriosis I always put on the PCOS-type diet, and anyone who got a sway opposite on the standard diet, should also be on the PCOS-type diet.

Even when you do everything right there is an upper ceiling on success that seems to be about 75%. That appears to be as good as we can get with swaying, even when people do everything right, even when people go really hard and have everything seemingly perfect. The good news is you can have a completely different outcome the next time!

Thank you again @atomic sagebrush!

Please don't think I was bashing GD or anything it stands for.
I know how much effort you put in to achieve girls dreams.
I believe in it so much I am back again...I just didn't think I would be that 25%.

I would definitely be doing PCOS I took the other diet very seriously for 5 months, I believe I can do this to get my girl.

I'd like to look into a PCOS plan so I am doing it 100% right. Can you tell me what's involved in the plan?

Also to my other post RE: should I throw in my one attempt and try e4d or stick to one attempt (that you responded to) if you were me, with the diet change would you try e4d or stick to one attempt?

Also, I'm looking at myo inositol and coq10 to get a more regular ovulation and improve my odds. Is this a good idea @atomic sagebrush?
And in Aus it's hard To get Pregnitude can you recommend another?

Thanks so much!

No, not at all, I just like to explain that! :)

The plans come with everything BUT diet (they have some personalized diet tips) and then I help you via the coaching forum, where I help you personally day by day, to work out a diet that will work for you using the foods you like and are accustomed to. You can also get the 21 day diet book which some people find helpful but it's not necessary.

I still like everyone to start off with one attempt. Although e4d has gotten good results, I feel the one attempt is more proven and so I like to be sure everyone has given it a shot with one attempt. (I"m happy to tell you the whole story of how we learned one attempt swayed, and why I have faith in it, if you would like me to). But e4d has been very pleasingly successful too.

Coq10 is fine for anyone to take, but I need more info before I can say if myoinositol is right for you. What is your BMI? Do you have trouble losing weight or does it fly off very easily? Is your irregular cycle seemingly linked to times when your weight was low and you were exercising a lot, or not?

oh and all Pregnitude is, is myoinositol mixed with folic acid. So you can sub in any myoinositol instead of Pregnitude.

Thank you @atomic sagebrush

I am definitely interested in the plan! Sorry to be a pain but can you please provide a link for the plan so I am getting the correct one?
Also the 21 diet book I am very interested in that too.

Okay great! I will stick to the one attempt! I believe in it and think there is science to it. I honestly would love to know the story behind one attempt if you have the time to?

My BMI is 21.5
No my weight has always kind of stayed steady even on diets or excercise it takes a while to lose.

No I have not really noticed a change to my irregular cycle with weight loss or exercise...I should have paid more attention, my periods are always just all over the place.

My periods have never stopped on me though.

I have researched myo and it seems to come with a lot of benefits I could use now even if I was not TTC I would have got some.
I can get very moody I know from hormones and I have a lot of chin and jaw acne (gynecological/hormonal acne) and for regulating period and ovualtion.

I am looking at Zazzee myo-inositol on amazon tgat has great reviews (especially the veggie caps) they do have a powder form which is just myo-inositol.
The veggie caps obviously have more ingredients should I get the powder to be safe for sway?

Capsules contain: cellulose (vegetarian capsule), cellulose powder, and magnesium stearate (vegetable source)

What you would probably want is the TTC a girl bundle and you can find that here (sorry there is not a specific link to every plan) https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum/payments.php The TTC a Girl Bundle comes with the 21 day diet plan. Once you buy it you'll get access to the questionnaires and it's there you'll fill me in about the PCOS and any other needs you have and I'll tailor your plan accordingly.

Since your BMI is pretty low I'm inclined to skip the myo and just see what the diet does, but if you really want to take it we can. Just keep a VERY close eye on your weight as once you guys hit BMI 21, I like you to stop losing deliberatey and try to hold steady where you're at. BMI 18.5 is my absolute minimum cutoff (and there are really not that many pounds between 21 and 18.5, believe it or not) so by cutting off weight loss at BMI 21 that ensures you have a margin for error if the weight keeps coming off at first.

To use the myoinositol I would have you take 500 mg daily from AF - O, and then every other day from O-AF. Don't take those very high doses some people take, I think you run the risk of messing up ovulation if we take too much. At BFP, gradually wean off by spacing doses further and further out till down to one per week, then you can drop them.

That other stuff in the Zazee is fine, that's no big deal, it's just how pills are, but I am wondering the dose?? I don't want you to take a very high dose because I think it could backfire on you, so I'll go double check.

Yeah that's 2000 mg per capsule, too much for you IMO. I would rather you did the powder so you could reduce the dose.

@atomic sagebrush should I worry about taking CoQ10 as it can raise Testosterone and be more a boy sway?

I've been using it for pink sways because it lowers blood sugar and improves egg quality for several years. I'll see when I make your plan if I think it's indicated for you or not.

Testosterone has never been definitively proven to sway blue, and furthermore 90% of everything said to "raise testosterone" online actually does nothing for testosterone unless you're on a program designed to raise testosterone via diet and exercise and lifestyle changes. There are very few supplements that really raise testosteorne on their own.
