Don't worry about skipping breakfast, it's just one little thing. Many people don't skip it. And even if you just pushed your first meal back an hour, that still may help. There is no magic to breakfast, you're just trying to extend that time overnight with no food coming in.
Yes, we are aiming at being slightly lower in condition and fertility but please don't take that too seriously. It is a MINOR thing and you very well may already BE in that zone. Remember, most people get boys and girls not realizing they are even doing anything any different than they did before!
No, every 2 days is really really blue friendly. It doesn't work. Please do only every 4 days or even further apart. Even if you put a cutoff onto that (and trust me, from one who knows firsthand, timing does not work, most of us on here have timing opposites, plural) you are doing a frequency pattern that may sway blue.
While technically yes, lowering sperm count is ~supposed~ to sway pink, I feel that it is best to do what actually has gotten results instead of counting on dusty old theories that most of us got opposites with. And what has worked by far and away best, is one attempt. And if you don't want to do one attempt, do e4d instead. But do NOT go any closer than that at least not until you've given it at least 3 months.
BD 2 and 3 days before O got me at least 2 of my 4 boys. I cannot sign off on that plan for anyone who has not already been TTC for a while. Everyone assumes they cannot possibly get pregnant with one attempt but people on this site and elsewhere do it every day. Every ejaculation has enough sperm to get millions of women pregnant.
If your husband has been taking LR for "a few weeks" he needs to stop it immediately and stay off of it for at least a month. It can raise blood pressure through the roof and that is why we take it only 2 weeks at a time.
Vitex is totally at your discretion whether to continue or not, it's just not a stellar sway tactic, unfortunately. I do wish it was as easy as taking an herb but it doesn't seem to work that way. Plus it can delay O.
It does matter what you eat but pH does not depend directly upon the foods you eat in the way that people say that it does. PLUS, it is simply impossible that low pH is neccessary for conceiving a girl, since no one's pH is really low at ovulation and if it were, pregnancy would not occur, since low pH kills sperm. Some people may find that coincidentally, changes in diet seem to lower pH, but that is because the foods you eat affect your hormone levels, and hormones make EWCM. So when your hormones have lowered, you may have less CM, and in turn lower pH, but that does not mean that low pH is the reason why this sways or that just shooting some goo up into the VJ does anything. In fact, we know it doesn't, since none of the low pH jellies have gotten good results, with the same % of people getting boys and girls with and without them.
Yes, ovulation creates a path of EWCM that the sperm swim through to get to the egg. No theory there, that's a fact.
Yes, we've had good results with drinking 1-2 drinks a day as a part of a sway. What part did you need me to explain?
