Hi atomicsage and everyone
I am new here and really wish to have yours and everyone else guidance. I have a lovely 16 month year old girl and really praying hard for a boy this time.
I am new to all this so any piece of advice will b very helpful. Want to start trying next month.
My cycle is fairly regular. My period date is on 24 July which would make my ovul on 6th Aug. What else information can I give so you can guide me. This site is very helpful however because I have been researching so much I'm quite overwhelmed with the amount of information and don't know what to follow and what to leave.
There is stuff like moon phases then bedding on ovul peak

Hi and welcome!!

I would recommend you do some kind of sway diet and exercise program before trying - are you set on starting this month??

Bluearav
July 26th, 2020, 10:36 PM
Thankyou so much for replying. I am ready to do anything for a boy sway. We plan to have our kids not far apart. I can miss the month of August and probably start trying in September. Ovulation is first week of September. And I don't know about this TTC but last time we conceived on the second try.

How often should we Bd when trying? On ovulation day and next day? Does that help in getting boy. Also what can I do in this one month that will help me in terms of diet. With a toddler I hardly get time to exercise but I go on walks daily and I am a vegetarian but can have egg.
Your reply made me so relieved as I have been feeling really anxious. Kindly guide me. So many blessings your way to you and your family

Also I am taking pre natals ELEVIT. (Australia)Is that enough? Shall I start with vit D?

My Diet is mostly Indian
Early morning tea with biscuits
Toast with jam or toast with egg

Lunch rice and lentils or rice and kidney beans/veggies
Evening tea with biscuits

Dinner
Rice or homemade pizza pasta lentils some form of veggies with Roti

Occasional snacking of chips Ice cream. I do have a sweet tooth.

What else can I do in the month before trying.

How close is close spacing between your kids??

We are finding that having kids very close together may sway pink, so I am hoping that your little toddler is at least one year old.

6 weeks on diet is enough for blue so if you were to try in Sept. that would be just dandy!

I posted a diet link in your other thread for you. You can absolutely do the HE Diet as a vegetarian, just focus on eggs, nuts, legumes, and dairy if you eat it. Keep soy foods to 2-3 times per week.

:agree: keep drinking tea, that got me 4 boys!

In terms of the pattern of sex, do you want to use the Shettles timing method or are you ok with not including that??

Bluearav
July 27th, 2020, 06:43 PM
Hi Atomic
Yes yes my toddler is 16 months so hope that won't be a factor.
I will start the diet to as best I can. And in terms of timing ..yes I do want to include shettles method just to b on safe side.
Would that mean having sex on O then 0+1 and 01 night meaning 3 times in a span of 2 days.
Does position make a difference.
What supplement shall I tell DH to have? Centrum men's multivitamin
I am taking prenatals and vit d

atomic sagebrush
July 28th, 2020, 02:14 PM
Ok great that's excellent spacing.

You would need to have sex on O-1 (at night), then in the morning of O Day and again in the night of O Day if that is at all possible. Then if possible you can have an attempt the day after you think you've ovulated then every other day to guard against delayed ovulation.

DO NOT have 3 attempts O-1, night of O Day, and then following day. That is extremely risky for a boy as in some cases that can end up as the O-1 attempt the only viable attempt, and one attempt sways strongly pink. And absolutely positively DO NOT have attempts only on O Day and after O Day because that for sure would only be one attempt.

Yes men's Centrum (and the over 50 one is even better than the normal Centrum, if he'd be willing to take that.)

Bluearav
July 29th, 2020, 10:09 PM
Thanks Atomic...in regards to pattern of sex I've understood and will follow as listed.
Just in terms of diet I want to ask if I'm following everything right.

In morning I'm having
Tea with 2 biscuits
Eggs I'm having 3 to 4 times in a week for breakfast
And sometimes cereal
And my lunch dinner mostly consists of rice lentils chickpeas kidney beans( all protein rich) and sometimes cottage cheese

For snacking I've started having nuts coconut water fruits like banana apple
And in vitamins I'm having prenatal and vit D .

Do you think all this good enough. You have been so helpful..really appreciate it.
Really can't wait to begin our journey in September. Had it not been for you would have started in August but I'm glad I came across this website. Kuddos to you for putting sucha brilliant effort.

atomic sagebrush
July 30th, 2020, 03:04 PM
I think I posted more for you in the other thread you asked questions in about diet.

But tea with biscuits alone may not have enough protein. You want some protein and fat at every meal and snack if possible. So I would add in some nuts or nut butter or have eggs/cheese every morning with the biscuits if possible.

What kind of milk are you having on the cereal??

I'm so happy to help!!!

Bluearav
July 30th, 2020, 08:58 PM
I am having full fat milk in cereal and I put milk in tea as well.
Will incorporate more nuts etc too

yes, any prenatal or multivitamin that has about 100% of the recommended value of the nutrients (you can go up to 250% on Vitamin D) is great. Avoid the multivitamins that have very high doses of any nutrients and any with added herbs in them

Hi atomic
From when AF ends to ovulation how many times can we Bd? And will do that protected.
And then O-1 night o day and night and O will bd unprotected. However my question is how will I know the exact day before ovulation. I do use strips to track and also app and have fairly regular cycle. But will I just be going through what app says

atomic sagebrush
August 12th, 2020, 05:51 PM
It is up to you. There are some of us who believe in timing and some do not.

If you believe in timing you would want your husband to release on his own or with you with a non-spermicide condom or some other non-spermicide, non hormone birth control, every 2-4 days starting right away and going on all month long (even after your attempt.) Then in the fertile window you would go for your three attempts of O-1 and O Day.

If you don't believe in timing, some scientific data indicates that having unprotected sex and being exposed to the hormones in his semen make you more fertile and probably sway blue because of that. This is actually how many of us got our boys - regular unprotected sex when not fertile, then we used protection when not trying to conceive. When we were trying, we had sex in the fertile window. But some people don't feel comfortable with that if they believe in timing. I got all my boys doing that - we never used protection out of the fertile window, had unprotected sex nearly all month long, and then did pullout or condoms when we didn't want to get pregnant, and kept going thru ovulation when we were trying.

Your call to make, whatever you prefer.

The best way to go is using the OPK. YOu can't predict reliably what will be 1 day before O based on the apps. They're ok for what they are but not as reliable as we would like.

Bluearav
August 15th, 2020, 12:49 AM
Hi atomic
Thankyou for your detailed message. I do use OpK to detect ovulation. I just have one question...so when we say have attempt at O -1 ...how do we detect that on OpK...would that mean when we see the darkest line? Will that b considered O-1 or O day?

atomic sagebrush
August 16th, 2020, 12:03 PM
The first positive OPK, NOT the darkest. Do not wait for the darkest positive as that can come much later on (or not at all in some months.)

Start attempts at the first positive of any brand.

Bluearav
August 22nd, 2020, 11:22 PM
Hi Atomic
So I'm near my fertile window. And I'm getting excited and nervous at the same time. Will be our first try this month. Baby 1 was conceived on the second try. So my fingers are crossed for this month. Need lots of blue dust.
In my fertile window i will do 3 to 4 attempts near ovulation.. before that can we have unprotected or does it sway pink like bd on 2 SEP then gap of 2 days then 3 To 4 attempts on ovulation days.
Thanks atomic

atomic sagebrush
August 23rd, 2020, 03:31 PM
I believe it sways BLUE to have unprotected sex out of the fertile window and for most of us with all boys we got our boys that way.

But I understand that is against Shettles timing, and even though that has been debunked, I know it's very hard for many to give up on that.

It is your choice to make!

emmir4356
August 27th, 2020, 04:08 PM
Is it okay to do the pull out method outside of fertile window?? DH hates condoms lol.

atomic sagebrush
August 28th, 2020, 05:09 PM
Yes! That's what we did.

Bluearav
August 30th, 2020, 01:31 AM
Hi Atomic
In the fertile window 3 days before O can we do unprotected then gap of 2 days and O-1 night O day night etc? Doing 3 days before O unprotected won't sway pink right?

atomic sagebrush
August 30th, 2020, 02:52 PM
Timing has been completely debunked (and most of us on here myself included have several timing opposites). 50-50 boys and girls conceived every cycle day and this has been shown by several different researchers using modern technology that Shettles did not have access to. But that's your call to make. If you find it worrying you can avoid doing that as long as your husband is "cleaning the pipes" regularly.

If I were swaying blue I'd have sex O-2, O-1, O Day. I'd probably give hub a break on O-3 so he won't be depleted, since sperm are less likely to survive that day.

Bluearav
September 5th, 2020, 11:49 PM
Hi Atomic
Hope U are well...I'm in my fertile window and dtd 3 times and plan to do it 2 times more however my opk has been playing with me. I saw a faint line one day and thought dark one will come and I didn't think I was ovulating that day as was dry down there. But today and yesterday have egg white consistency down there(tmi) but on opk no line is coming. My app also says it's between today and yesterday ovulation however I'm confused on the opk.
Do I keep going with bding. Can you please shed some light. Really confused and anxious

atomic sagebrush
September 6th, 2020, 11:40 AM
I would have an attempt every day for the next several days until you have your positive and are sure you've ovulated.

Bluearav
September 17th, 2020, 06:51 PM
Hi Atomic
So I'm out for this month AF arrived :( a bit sad but it's only the first try hoping next month will be our month.
I do have a few questions if I don't go by timing method (shettles) then how to do about in my fertile window?
My window starts from 30 Sept to 3 Oct... Do I do every other day? Boy sway

And also with ovulation strips if I see a faint line does that mean it's bd time or I wait for it to get darker. I haven't used the clear blue test but coming O I'm planing to use it to cover my base so a blinking smiley is ok or wait for the stable one
.. this month I just saw faint once so I'm assuming I missed bding on right time

When is the best time to take ovulation test. Early morning or afternoon.

Really appreciate all your help.

Bluearav
September 18th, 2020, 01:08 AM
Hi Atomic
Sorry writing another message as I live in Australia and by the time you read it the timing doesn't really match so thought I'll Clear my doubts ...

I have a regular cycle of 28 days. I keep reading here that bd the day before peak peak day and next day... however I get confused that how to determine the peak day...in the opk will it b the darkest line or the stable smiley is that the peak day ?
Then how will I know how to do one day before peak...sorry I might be sounding silly so please help me as I want to cover all my base in the coming ovulation.


Lots of good wishes to you for helping so many of us

Hi Atomic just posting again so that you can reply when you read this.... thanks

atomic sagebrush
September 19th, 2020, 08:05 PM
Thanks for your patience!

The peak is NOT the darkest but the first positive OR first solid smiley.

You don't have sex the day before peak because you can't predict that. Have sex the day OF peak (one or two times) then sex the next day in the morning if at all possible AND again that same night (so twice on that day) and then one time the following day in case of delayed ovulation. Then go to every other day for a couple rounds in case of delayed O.

DO NOT have sex every other day. This doesn't work well for a boy because every other day ends up being either O-6, O-4, O-2, and O Day (2 attempts max as O-4 and 6 are too far from O) or O-5, O-3, and O-1 which is like 1 1/2 attempts since O-3 is generally too far from O too and O-5 for sure is.

Faint lines are not positive. Only when the line is as dark or darker than control is the test positive. We use that hormone for lots of things so it can be present in small amounts other times of the month, only when it's REALLY coming in does it pinpoint ovulation for us.

Is your cycle regular otherwise?? if OPK aren't working we may need to figure out some other strategies. Can you tell me what time of day you are testing with the OPK?

Bluearav
September 19th, 2020, 08:47 PM
Thanks for your reply atomic..my cycle is regular...28 days...I usually start testing on 11 or 12th day but haven't really done that for 2 3 months just did last month and I guess I missed the ovulation...
So this month I'll start testing early perhaps? When I see the solid smiley ( hope I get it in time as will use ckearblue first time? Will bd as you told.
From experience which tests do U prefer the cheap opk or ckearblue smiley ones?

atomic sagebrush
September 19th, 2020, 09:27 PM

Bluearav
September 19th, 2020, 09:41 PM
I am testing just once around 1 O clock...should I change that

atomic sagebrush
September 20th, 2020, 01:29 PM
no that's a great time to test, let's also, whenever you think you're getting close to ovulation, add in a second test just before dinner. That way if your urine is too diluted you will have a second chance at the positive.

atomic sagebrush
September 20th, 2020, 01:30 PM
Starting CD 10 should be getting you in with a positive.

I have no preference on cheapies vs. Clearblues. whichever you like better.

Or, if you don't care that much about timing you can just plan to have an attempt CD 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and then leave it at that.

Bluearav
September 21st, 2020, 10:22 PM
Thanks atomic will start testing at day 10. I just bought the ckearblue ovulation test and on the manual it says test First morning Urine....shall I follow that or still test in afternoon around 1?

atomic sagebrush
September 22nd, 2020, 12:15 PM
The Clearblues are supposedly calibrated differently to work in the morning, but I still think we see better results with testing in the early afternoon. If you feel you're not getting good results in the morning we can try the afternoon, or both.

Following...
question on supplements Atomic..
So i am reading through all those topics, narrow it down for me..
for me :
Once a day multivit
Fish oil with DHA 500 mg
COw10 200 mg

For him:
Centrum 50+ multivit
Fish oil DHA 500 mg
COq10 200 mg
Vit D 2000IU ( prescribed by doctor so will switch it to every other day as centrum will have it)
Would like your opinion on l- arginine and l- cartinine for him?
Do you think i should add or decrease any supplements ?
Please advice..
i will add another one when i will
Have my diet plan ..

Updated add on - forgot to add that i am planing to use preeseed. Also Mucinex or Guaffenasin for fertile window would like to know dosage and direction for it and which brand ? Also would like to know your opinion on gelatin shot ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for lot of question, dont want to mess up anything want to try my best for blue..

atomic sagebrush
September 25th, 2020, 02:29 PM
I'd do 100 mg coq10 for both of you unless we had some reason to go to 200.

If the Vit. D prescribed by a doc, go ahead and take it in addition to the Centrum. He must be deficient and we want to correct that.

I like 500 mg arginine and 1000 mg carnitine if he's willing to take them.

Gelatin juice is fine, not necessary tho

I don't recommend brands, but any kind that has just guaifenesin without any other active ingredients in it. I would use the dose on the box as it varies. Max. dose from 5 days before you expect to O to 3 days after.

I would take 2000 mcg (that is micrograms, not milligrams) when you use green tea. Take this thru the entire first trimester then gradually wean off by spacing doses further and further out till down to one per week, then drop.

Hi Atomic
So I'm back again. Did a pregnancy test and it's negative. Still have 2 days to go for period but I'm so bummed it's again not our month.
I got a ckearblue solid smiley on day 14 at around 3 pm. We did the night before,the night of solid smiley,the next morning and the day after once.
I thought I had covered all base. Really feeling sad.
Our first baby was conceived on the second month of trying.
Can you please share some insights as to what I should do next time around?

Another thing is I'm feeling maybe dh sperms get depleted because of the back to back attempts. What other pattern can I follow for bding like doing it everyday once type?

Really looking for some insights Atomic. Next month we will b in process of shifting houses and I'm just thinking that might interfere again with bding. Super stressed.

Hi Atomic
Just posting again incase you missed my last post.

atomic sagebrush
October 16th, 2020, 01:16 PM
Please give me a few days before bumping. With the exception of the custom coaching forums where I answer every day, it sometimes takes me a few days when I get busy. Since I answer from oldest to newest, if you bump too soon your post goes back to my "new" posts and it actually makes me take longer to get your answer to you.

Did your period arrive, then? When did it arrive in correlation to when you got the positive OPK??

The sperm was not depleted. Because you were in the fertile window, every sperm had a chance to stay alive to find the egg. So even if the later batches were slightly fewer, they were being ADDED to the sperm that were already waiting for the egg. It just wasn't THE month, if that makes sense. I am absolutely fine with you having only one attempt a day, but you have to be able to predict the day before you will get positive OPK. Does that feel possible to you?? (you can use a fertility monitor to do this if you have one)

In that case you can have one attempt the day before the positive OPK (O-2) the day OF the positive OPK (O-1) the day after the positive OPK (O Day), the following day (probably too late on O+1 but it will help if ovulation is delayed) and maybe even one more just in case. But what you guys did was great, and had absolutely no bearing in why you didn't get pregnant.

So I just had my blood work done and Dr said borderline hypothoderism detected and she said start with 25mg of thyroxine.
I'm now more stressed...how will this affect blue sway or pregnancy overall. Can you please please shed some light?

Are there people who still continue trying even if taking thyroxine or do I wait for it to b normal.
Tsh level came 5.2
She did say it's borderline so it's not a lot.

Hi Atomic...
Thankyou for the assurance. Fertility window is just around the corner so that gives me relief to know we can continue trying.

Having thyroid medicine does that sway either boy or girl? Or is there no such evidence

Also as you know atomic last 2 months I have been doing the back to back attempts of bd.
If this time we try cd 12 13 14 15 one attempt a day.. how is that for blue sway? Or shall I put in 2 attempts on 14 day the day I see positive?

atomic sagebrush
October 25th, 2020, 02:38 PM
We don't know if thyroid medicine sways and we also don't know if the underlying causes of thyroid issues sway, either.. I do feel like we see more blue moms with thyroid issues, but there are def. some pink moms with thyroid issues too (and since we have so many more pink swayers it may just be a numbers game)

As long as you ovulate when you expect to I am fine with you attempting CD 12-15 (or even 16 in case of delayed O). If possible to have 2 attempts CD 14 that's great, but if not that's ok too.

Just take more than one of the folic acid and fish oil. It doesn't need to be exact, it can just be a close amount so you could take 1600 mcg folic (so two of those 800) and that is fine. You can even space it out over the day for better absorption. Or two 1000 like you say.

Those fish oils are fine!!

Hi Atomic
So AF just arrived. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My first baby was conceived just after the first attempt.
Been trying since 3 4 months....
This attempt I got a solid smiley on 29 Oct and we did that night...
The next night one attempt but really late at around 2 am.
Then again the next day in afternoon...
Can you please shed some light....I'm feeling so so sad after every cycle. Can thyroid be an issue or maybe the spacing of attempts?
The next cycle what can I do differently for BOY.. perhaps do every day from 0-2 to 0+1. My cycle is bang on time

atomic sagebrush
November 12th, 2020, 01:52 PM
Yes absolutely have sex every day from O-2 through O+1 and be sure you are having hubby "clean the pipes" every 2-4 days anyway. Above we had talked about having more attempts and I'm still on board with that.

The thyroid stuff can really mess with conceiving. I think that getting this corrected will absolutely help.

It's not that common to get pregnant on the first try. Sometimes it happens and that is great, but we can't expect it to always happen.

Are you using Preseed or any other jelly/douche? What about a Diva Cup?

I personally took the One a Day all thru my last three pregnancies. It makes a good prenatal, has all the same stuff in it, and it's affordable. It's your call to make, but it worked for me! If you do decide to switch, be sure you do that gradually - don't just go from one to the other especially if there are different amounts of nutrients in them.

Why are you avoiding attempts? For your sway or for your family's convenience?

For sway actually i am Afraid of not keeping up with food calories .. working from home with three year old and packing boxes.. snacking all the times with healthy snacks like hummus cracker, banana chips, juices,eggs, dry nuts,fruits and mainly big meal is dinner with chicken or veg curries with chapati or rice pasta or Mexican.. cant keep tract of calories. Any suggestions? I am any way not big eater so always have to struggle to eat. Searching for smart way to eat more protein and carb with small amount of food..

Oh I got it, because it's difficult to keep up with the diet. That makes some sense though I do think you're eating well right now.

You're probably doing better than you think. all you really need to be doing is eating more than you were when you got your girl(s). It's ok if you never get up to the full amounts some eat on the HE Diet - we all have different metabolisms and it's ok if some people eat a little less than others!

Yup.. thats what i was thinking too.. when i got my girl i was literally on LE kind of diet may be less than that and were not on any supplements.. prenatal i started after 8 weeks after my 1st appointment.. my weight was like 90lb when i conceive her.. so i guess so far so i am better than last time . i am above 115 now and eating better. Thanks for your reply Atomic .. appreciate all your help ..

Huge congrats!!!

I got my boys with just two attempts. Three is nice but you can absolutely still get a boy with two attempts.

Now supplements wise stop COq10 complete right ?

Wean off coq10 by spacing doses further and further out till down to one per day, then you can drop them.

Continue prenatal (or multivitamin), probiotics, fish oil as long as it's less than 500 mg (otherwise wean back to that), and extra Vit. D if you were taking it!
