Pink sway summary please!

Hi all, I've just returned home from a failed HT attempt at HRC, and I can't handle going through it again 😢

I think we will try naturally this coming month so thought I'd give a sway a go. My diet is LE anyway and I go to the gym 3 times a week and have done for the last couple of years.

I just want to check I have this right as there is so much information it is confusing me!!

1) BD only once when I get a + OPK

2) caffeine and alcohol - have it right?

3) What's the deal with supplements? I was taking a lot for the IVF, pregnacare and extra folic and coq10 plus vits d and e, stop or carry on?

4) hubby is taking olive leaf, should he continue with that?

Thanks so much in advance, this whole journey has been Incredible difficult and I'm trying to find a positive way to move forwards. I've made my peace with the fact that this next baby may be a boy still, but figured a sway is worth a shot xx

I'm so sorry HT didn't work out for you.

Yep it's one attempt once you get your first pos OPK. Caffeine (coffee in particular) is great for pink and alcohol is too (wine, spirits, beer...whatever kind you like).
Atomic should advise you on the supplements because I know some of them cannot be stopped cold turkey. Folate/folic acid is really the only supplement most pink swayers take. Clomid or femara are great if you can get it. Olive leaf is supposed to sway pink although I'm sorry I don't know much about it since my DH never took it. I don't know what you do for exercise but for pink, usually 60 min a day and 4+ days a week of cardio is what's recommended.

Best of luck to you! Hope your pink sway works. :)

Thank you, that's very helpful! Xx

Hi FM, so sorry it didn't work out.

1) :agree:

2) Yes but use COFFEE not just caffeine. We think it may be something in coffee.

3) Wean off those bad boys! Keep the extra folic only 1200-1600 mcg per day all thru first trimester of pregnancy then gradually wean off.

4) Yes

Thanks atomic!! Fingers crossed xx

fingers and toes too!

Hi Flynn's mummy, I have been reading your story and just wondered how it went/ how its going with your sway? x
