NAME - Butterfly
Gender Resulted -

Swaying Attempt - Natural
AGE: 30
WEIGHT:195 Heaviest starting out TTC (Previous pregnancies I was 189)

***Still Breastfeeding***

This sway is VERY similar to my first because I didn't change too much.

Sway start May 3, The day after my April loss.

*Made Sure To sway the hardest During MY Chinese Gender Chart Months For GIRL* (I know, I know.. I can't help it!) If you do this.. make SURE you look up your chinese lunar year first, not your actual age. That has been known to cause confusion!**

*During this sway I painted my nails and toe nails a couple of times.

MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MY SWAY...VITEX
I just wanted to point out how I took my Vitex for new ladies trying it..
I did 2, 400mg Nature's Way capsules together in the morning because I read somewhere that it absorbs best then.
And I was taking it alone until I got migraines so I combined it with my other supplements and magnesium and the headaches stopped.


PH -Unsure, I never tested my PH once.
DH PH -Unknown.
Douche type and when- None
Replens- No
RepHresh- YES, May 21 at 12:30 am and BD in the morning around 10 am.
Big O: NO!
Lube- SYLK!


DIET: Most of you won't agree with it! LOL

I love food WAY too much to be able to do the girl diets. I tried to eat less though (ha ha ha riight!), and more healthy.
I ate a variety of meat: Beef, Turkey, Ham etc. I ate Raw fruits and Veggies and sometimes canned sweet peas -LOVE THEM (don't eat them often) but the sodium content is killer ha ha.
My mom makes family dinner once a week and she makes A LOT. Meaning I eat the leftunders most of the week! Things like roast and mashed potatoes, mexican cassarole, tator tot cassarole, ham and funeral potatoes, lasagna.

I drank A LOT of vit d whole milk, some CL (in times of desperation), V8 Fruitfusion, and ate a Activia strawberry & cereal yogurt every day, at least 4 per week!

I drank A LOT less CL this time since I found out what Aspertame is!

Basically ladies, I didn't hold back and I ate everything in variety, I just jumped in with both feet, prayer and FAITH!

Caffeine- Stopped drinking REGULAR Coke in February because I drank WAY too much when I conceived my boys. I replaced it with Sprite but not for a couple weeks and didn't drink it every day.
DH caffeine - He started out drinking less coke, but in the end he was drinking it normally.
I also TRY to avoid chocolate around Ovulation. BUT I did forget and had 2 choc chip cookies on May 19th.

SUPPLEMENTS - Vitex, Folic Acid (when I remembered because I had to space it out from my levothyroxine thyroid medicine -I have Hypothyroidism)

1200 mg Calcium w/800 IU Vit D
400 mg Magnesium w/15 mg Zinc
B-50 Complex (from Walmart) which contains a lot:
B1- 50 mg
B2- 50 mg
B3- 50 mg
B6- 50 mg
Folate (as folic acid) 400 mcg
B12 50-mcg
Biotin 50 mcg
Pantothenic Acid 50 mg

In my opinion, B50 complex it's a GREAT vitamin! I got the idea off another girl swaying place on the web, and they took additional B6!

After my M/C the morning afterwards (May 3) I took 2 Nature's Way Raspberry Leave Capsules with 2 Vitex capsules with my other supplements

Nature's Way Vitex Capsules (Amazon.com)- (2) 400 mg in the morning with the other supps. I learned that the magnesium got rid of the Vitex headaches


DH SUPPLEMENTS: He took the Calcium, Magnesium, and extra strength
8,400 mg Cranberry (2 capsules) (It says take it 3 times a day, but he only did it once a day) It also contained Vitamin C 40 mg and 6iu Vitamin E when I left it out for him. But he didn't take his at the same time as I did so it was hard. ( In my second sway he didn't take them as much as a first)


TIMING HOW MANY TIMES WE BD:

I stopped taking Vitex on Sunday May 13th because my OPKs were nuts!

I started to wean off of the Raspberry Leave Capsules and take one every other day about 2 weeks after my loss.

We used SYLK every time we BD, it's our fave lube now!

May 19 we BD at night and I laid there about 40 mins, then got up to slip on my negative ion bracelet and then I laid down to visualize my DD. Once an hour had passed since BD I got up. No jump and dump.
I felt BIG time O pressure but when I woke up it was gone. Forgot to use RepHresh beforehand!

May 20: ***+OPK!*** Decided to get some sun and fresh air in the mountains with my family and go hiking. (More - ions)

May 21: Inserted full tube of RepHresh around 12:30 am and BD in the morning around 10am
Spent the day with family in the sun and in the fresh air enjoying more outdoor fun! (- ions)
Felt some extremely painful left O pain that stopped me dead in my tracks.

May 22-23 +OPKs

June 2, BFP Not sure how many DPO since I am not sure when I Oed. if I Oed on Mon the 21st it would make it 12 DPO!



Charting O with Temp -No, Too Stressful!
Charting with OPK: I took internet cheapies from ebay (link in my thread) like daily even 3 times a day!
Suspected O date - MAY 21!?

IONS
Have a beautiful salt rock lamp in the living room going 24/7 but sometimes DH would turn it clear down at night.
When I took a bath I used lavender soap and rigged the shower head to fill my bath with HOT water! I also wore a quantum science scalar negative ion bracelet (from Amazon.com) 24/7

OTHER
How many kids do you have? -2
What sex? -Boys
Both VERY easily conceived.
DH age- 31
BD position - I took what I could.. Most the time we did missionary position. If he wanted to do it from behind, I didn't say no. I can't remember the positions he went off in.
Jump and dump- DH forced me to wash off afterwards so I did get up sometimes I got away with laying for 5 mins and when I did get up to "rinse off".. I just made it look like it.. muhaha ( This part is from my first sway I didn't have that many attempts around O..and I didn't Jump and Dump on the 19 or 21st
EWCM present/how much? - It was on and off as my body went back to normal to conceive after my loss but you can go to My VITEX Journey to read more into it.
CM: sometimes it seems like a lot but then I go to BD, I'm DRY and have to use lube. It's just been something that happened after I had DS#2.
DH hot bath - Sometimes
DH did FR A LOT to avoid having sex.. he was not a cooperative DH! lmao

***Moon Phase: NEW MOON ****


Anything under the bed- I didn't want to scare DH so I decided not to do it and perhaps jinx it!

COMMENTS?
I did the best I could do with my ~PINK Sway~, I know it's old school but it felt right to me so that's what I did..and I combined it with prayer!

And lastly... My M/C from April was an automatic Sway for PINK

What you meant to say was not strict at all! It's okay, lol I'm proud of it!
What I did do was abstain from Coke for months and that was a miracle for me.
Yes, I don't really believe in the diet personally..I'm more a believer in the eat, and try to eat healthy, - ions, supplements and the lubes and such. Things that directly impact my vaginal ph and my dhs sperm environment too
Thank you!

Now that I think of it, I used to drink lots of Coke when I conceived my son!

I drank one a day, sometimes two! I could not live without it, so I knew it had to go!

[CherryBlossom]

Another coke addict! ( the drink of course haha) when I conceived my two boys. I would have prob 2 glasses a night. Sometimes more give or take.
