Thanks Atomic! That makes a lot of sense . I'm just worried that relaxing the diet will make me gain some weight and sway blue. Should I do a stricter LE diet once the period returns?

Just quoting myself here -
No, I don't want you to get strict on diet after your period comes back because what will happen is that your period will stop again LOL.
We are trying to hit that sweet spot between "fertile enough to get pregnant" and "so fertile you get a boy".
You aren't doing that by relaxing enough on diet for you to resume ovulating. No egg, no baby.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

I have no idea how in the world I missed this!!!
I swayed for a girl while breastfeeding and am having a baby girl. I completely agree with Atomic on this one! I was too strict too soon and ended up having crazy long cycles with delayed ovulation! Stick to the upper limits of the diet, and you should be fine. Once I did that, things improved. I ended up needing Clomid because I had really high levels of prolactin (I'm an overproducer) and it needed to be normal for me to conceive. There is another medication but it would cause my milk to dry up, and I was still breastfeeding my son 6-8 (more like 6) times a day. I believe that had I not dieted and exercised so much early on, my body wouldn't have overcompensated by producing too much prolactin. I wasn't willing to increase my calories beyond the LE upper limits, so I had to have Clomid to help me.
🤞🏻for you!!

Xxforhubby, thanks for sharing! So, did you have around 1800 calories per day? I'm thinking that I might also be producing a lot of prolactin because of being on a pretty strict diet...
Atomic, my doctor prescribed iron and vitamin D supplements, because both were low. I know that they sway blue. But, quitting my vegetarian diet and having red meat for iron and fatty fish for vitamin D would sway blue even more than the supplements, right?

Take the supplements at the recommended amount for 4-6 weeks and then reduce to 3x a week (but if you start feeling poorly again, restart them, iron in particular can really make you feel bad when you're deficient) This is something I use with lots of swayers with nutrient deficiencies!

Xxforhubby, so great to hear that vitamin D doesn't necessarily hurt the sway. Can I ask for more details about your sway? For example, did you have breakfast, did you exercise? I'm feeling so tired most of the days that I crash without breakfast and have no energy to exercise... I guess it's because of the breastfeeding plus a lack of sleep.
Atomic, thanks for the tip about the timing of supplements - I will definitely do that!

Ask away! I had to have 3 meals a day, because I started swaying when my DS3 was about 3mo old. I just delayed when I had my first meal. When I got my BFP a year later, I was having my first meal between 10:30-1:00pm. Keep in mind my son was 14.5mo at that time. I started with the diet for 12 weeks and then added in the cardio. The weather warmed up allowing me to wear my DS3 and push my DS2 in a stroller.
Here is the link to my sway where I go into things in much more detail. Don't hesitate to ask me any more questions! You can also send me a private message (PM) if you prefer!

Xxforhubby, thanks for the link to your sway. Wow, it's really great. My diet isn't nearly as strict. Am using food to compensate for a lack of sleep... What did you eat for protein? I'm having tons of beans and egg white to get around 50g protein. I hope the egg whites don't sway blue.

Hello everyone. I am new here but not new to swaying. I have 3 boys who are 7, 5 and 18 months old. I did not sway with my first two as I knew nothing about swaying and I wanted them to be boys...
