@ maidentomother
Thanks so much for all the info.

For the antihistamine and aspirin how often/ how much and how long before your sway attempt?

I was excited about using my cranberry extract that I just bought.
I didn't know cranberry extract swayed blue.

I did the same thing, bought a huge bottle of cranberry extract only to discover a few days later that it was no longer recommended! In addition to possibly swaying blue, it can be dangerous especially at higher doses as it has a blood thinning effect. Several swayers have had issues with bruising as a result.

The aspirin would be as dr recommended, I wouldn't and don't personally take it as part of my sway. Older recommendation is 1 baby aspirin (81mg dose) 3x a week.

The antihistamine you just take 1 tablet 30 min to an hour before BD, if you notice lots of EWCM at the time. So it's a one time thing. Unless you are doing a 2nd attempt due to a long surge, in which case again, you could take a tablet if you had excess EWCM. Same with BD every 4 days; take a tablet pre BD if you have EWCM. But if you don't have much, don't take an antihistamine. You NEED some EWCM in order for the sperm to survive inside your cervix etc while awaiting the egg. You never want to completely eradicate your fertile CM, just reduce it temporarily when necessary. Many pink swayers, including myself, find the diet and/or other supps (V, SP, pep tea) dries up their CM so much that they have mostly only creamy CM at best and need to use a little sperm friendly lube to actually conceive! So you may find that you don't need any antihistamines.

Oh, btw, I re-ordered the Supps tactics under section 4 as my initial listing wasn't in proper decreasing order of efficacy. So maybe take a peek again in case I edited it after you read that post.

I forgot to mention one last crucial aspect to a strong pink sway - the diet, exercise, and any supps except clomid & antihistamines, you should be on for a full 12w before you begin TTC. If your cycles are regular, estimate when you will O the cycle you want to make your first attempt, and start your sway 3 months before. If you need or want to ease into the diet/exercise, do that before so that have 12w of strict swaying under your belt when you first attempt.

If you are older and in a hurry to get pregnant, you can start TTC sooner, but the GD statistics show that swaying for 12w in advance is optimal. Swaying for longer is fine, perhaps even better, provided you can stay strict with your sway, but the shorter your sway under 12w, the less effective it will be. TTC after only 4 or even 8 weeks on the diet/exercise (with diet being the most important aspect as always) pre-conception is a much weaker sway and much more frequently results in boys than longer strict sways.

We don't really have anyone posting about it anymore. It's never been studied by anyone outside of Ericsson to see if it really helps at all.

IVF is a big step so I certainly understand wanting an alternative! Ask how many attempts it might take to get pregnant!

It actually has been studied by a few different researchers but they were not able to get it to work. The ratio of X and Y sperm were the same before and after spinning (about 50-50) Dr. Ericsson admits this but claims that these sperm go on to create more girl or boy babies for some reason other than the sperm ratio.

I think it's a lot of money for something that is about the same odds of success as gender swaying - we are getting a good 75% for boys (if not even higher) and for girls, using Clomid + 1 attempt (which Ericsson method does use Clomid to induce ovulation) we are getting in the 70% range. Please note that the numbers quoted on many of the Ericsson labs' websites are NOT accurate in terms of real world results.

This page has a nice array of studies about Ericcson Ericsson Albumin Method: Sperm Spinning for Gender Selection at Ingender.com

I think the main reason why more people don't use it, is that those who can afford it, can afford to do IVF/PGD and get both a hiher rate of pregnancy and a 100% guarantee of gender. To my way of thinking it is pouring money away to do sperm spinning when the results are about the same as gender swaying. :/ Just my two cents. Good luck making your decision.

bump this for me to talk about other questions

[HealthyGirl]

Atomic thanks for the link with the studies.
If you were in my position would you do it?
I'm incapable of doing the sway diet and don't want to pay IVF/PGD cost.

Why are you incapable of doing the diet? It is not a starvation diet and actually much easier than most diets. Atomic even sells a 21 day meal plan if you can't deal with counting calories etc.

[HealthyGirl]

Maidentomother , it's not the counting calories that I'm worried about but it's what or what I can't have. I currently weigh 108 lb and am 5' 3" tall . The reason I think that I don't have the discipline to do it is that I work full time and a lot of times at lunch I find myself getting something quick that's not that healthy . I don't have time to pack lunches and stress over what to have at lunch when I'm busy at work. Also we are planning on starting TTC early march so not sure if 8 weeks on the diet would have that much of an impact.
I don't mind getting Atomics 21 day plan. Maybe that will take the stress off and give me something to follow. Can you tell me how I would go about buying that?

Thanks

I would never do Ericsson. I think it's money tossed away for something with poor odds of conception and crap odds of gender.

Can you get Clomid?

[HealthyGirl]

I haven't had my consult yet. It's scheduled for feb 9th. I think clomid might be part of their method if TTC pink.
What's your opinion on clomid?
I will let you know what I think of my consult and if $280 was a waste of money or not.

Does anyone know why there isn't a lot of sway results for the later part of 2014?
It would be nice to see more current sway results.
