TTC Pink one last time .... 😀
Hi Ladies,
I've been stalking this board for some time now, but only just felt ready to post something!.
Hello all!.
We are going to start TTC probably around September time, so I've just started on the LE diet.
I've just turned 40 and have 3 boys 9,5 and 2 years old. With my last Boy, I tried to sway for a girl, but was blessed with our Boy.
I tried so hard with the sway. I Was really strict with the LE diet, hubby was on the supplements, we DTD once when I got my positive on the ovulation tests, but my Boy was adamant he was coming!! 😂
I did everything I could. I must admit, I'm embarrassed to say this now, but I had GD really bad..... still do some days.
I just wanted to ask if anything has changed with swaying for a girl in the last 2 years since I swayed last time?.
Is it still keep within the limits, calorie wise, no meat, bananas, whole grains etc?. No snacking, no breakfast?.
Alcohol (glass of wine every night!!)
Caffeine
Exercise daily
DTD at positive OPK
Jump & dump after DTD
REpresh a few days before DTd
I have read through the TTC girl forums and everything seems to be the same, but I am 40 now so is there anything else I can do to improve my chances?.
This is our last shot!!. Xx

Hi again Dolly, I remember you from your previous sway!
When I have people who've gotten an opposite in the past I like them to switch over to this diet, in this thread 5 from the top. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...rt-3-pcos.html Called atomic fertility diet. You will not only get better results for your sway, but also will very likely see better chances of conception at 40 with this type of diet. Don't worry about the whole grains, they proved to NOT sway blue, possibly even sway pink (due to the fiber in them).
I'd skip the RepHresh, it hasn't worked and really has cut odds of conception for people.
Everything else is looking great.

I've been doing a bit more research and I think I may have a short leutal phase.
Up until around 4-5 months ago, I always had a 28-30 day cycle, always ovulated around day 14
My cycles are now different every month and vary between 21-28 days. One month I ovulated around day 8-10!!
Would you recommend Vitex?.
Thanks

I don't recommend vitex for anyone over 35 as we saw absolutely dreadful chances of conception for moms in that age group.
If you are ovulating early, then it is entirely possible your LP is fine, you may just be Oing a little sooner than you used to. This is super common as we get older, our body decides it needs to put out more eggs than it was and steps up the pace a bit.

Thanks Atomic
One last question...... Would ubiquinol be ok for my sway?. Just checking different options to improve fertility before we start TTC!. I'm a bit paranoid now I'm 40 and get a feeling I'm not as fertile as I used to be!!..... obviously due to my age with egg decline etc and due to my blood results below.
We've not started TTC yet, so I don't know if I am still fertile..... I never had any problems conceiving with my last 3 and was pregnant within a few months.
I had some blood took a few weeks ago.
Here are my results below......
LH 7.7 iu/L
FSH 11.7 iu/L
Serum oestradiol - 140 pmol/ L
Serum prolactin 235 miu /L
Thanks in advance xx

Yes, if you like. I was using it for a while and have given up on it because it did not seem to help people conceive any more quickly and it was super expensive.
I'd also take folate instead of folic acid and consider upping this to 2000 mcg (that's MICROgrams, not milligrams) a day throughout the first trimester of pregnancy (start right way, but continue till end of the first tri) and then gradually wean off by spacing doses further and further out till down to one per week, then you can drop it.
FSH is a bit high but that's normal at 40.

Thanks ����x
I've had a pre-conception scan today...... Just to check everything is ok. It was a Pelvic and vaginal scan and everything is fine ��
I'm on CD 11 today and it looked like I was ovulating...... so hopefully I'll be good to go in a few cycles after being on the LE fertility diet for a while ����
Thanks againxx

Great!! At 40, to be honest, I think you should drop everything and try to catch that egg!!! Time is not on our side, and I prefer 40 year olds to start TTC sooner rather than later. 12 weeks on diet is all well and good but we never know when it's the last fresh egg in the carton.
Just be sure you have only one attempt.
Hello, Atomic hopefully you will see this! It has definitely been a while. I am not TTC, my cycles have been MIA for over a year, I'm quite certain. I have not been charting but haven't had it....
Not sure where to ask not TTC
