    Is that a cause for concern when TTC? Is there something I should (or shouldn't) be doing to make sure my levels of estrogen are ideal for ovulating and conception?


    Also, what are the thoughts on collagen powder, coffee, and maca powder in one's diet for a girl sway?

    We WANT your estrogen to be a bit lower as that is likely part and parcel of how swaying pink works. We aim at estrogen being lower but still being high enough to conceive. A delayed O is super common when swaying pink and is not a big deal as long as it doesn't keep getting longer and longer.

    Go ahead and drop fiber if you were taking it, add in a serving of full fat dairy daily, 4-6 eggs a week, and salmon if you like it, red meat if you don't 1x a week. That works for most people to ensure you continue ovulating and in the majority of cases will bring your ovulation back to closer to normal range.

    No collagen powder, that has components in it that may grow muscle and possibly sway blue.

    No Maca, we do not know how it sways, and it has delayed and even stopped ovulation for several people - not in the good way that helps our pink sway, but by possibly raising male sex hormones which would sway blue. Additionally we've had some really weird side effects on Maca.

    Coffee is good for pink, I highly recommend it. I got my girl with coffee after 4 boys with tea.

    Okay. That makes sense. My acne flares up SO BAD with dairy. Is there anything I could replace dairy with to supply enough calories/fat?

    Can I also get your insights on liver support when TTC a girl? Things like lemon water, dandelion tea, sauna use, milk thistle tea, chlorella, etc?

    Lemon water sways blue. Dandelion tea and milk thistle, we do not know if they sway in either direction. Chlorella I cannot recommend in anything but the most occasional use because the blue green algaes have been linked to the development of motor neuron disease like ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).

    Sauna is fine for pink if you want to do that.

    Okay, all good to know.

    Is there anything I can substitute for full fat dairy? I do struggle to hit my calorie/fat intake, especially while breastfeeding, but dairy flares up my acne (especially hormonal chin and cheek acne) SO BAD.

    Continue that amount of folate all thru the entire first trimester of pregnancy, then gradually wean off by spacing doses further and further out till down to just the amount in the prenatal. Don't drop folate levels suddenly, don't suddenly switch from folate to folic acid, and don't continue the higher dose much beyond the first trimester (just enough time to wean off it) as the higher amount may be harmful in the third trimester

    I've always had breast/nipple soreness for the first several weeks after getting a bfp. I had it two days this pregnancy, the couple days prior to bfp. None since, today I'm 4 weeks 2 days. I have a lot of bloating, morning nausea, abdominal cramping, some backaches, leg cramps, and fatigue. Do you ever find the lack of nipple soreness a concern this early, or am I just imagining the worst?

    Symptoms vary with each pregnancy. I have been pregnant seven times and had different symptoms (and no symptoms) with each one. (in fact, the two pregnancies that I lost both had massive symptoms and two of the pregnancies that worked out I had very few symptoms early on). I would not read anything into that.
