If I was a sway, what kind would I be?

Ok, first of all - I am in the process of deciding if we are going to pursue HT. My anxiety about the process is really preventing me from moving forward with it. The anxiety is so bad I don't have an appetite and have lost 20-25 lbs in the past few months. Then I realized...kind of ironically..that's the LE diet to sway pink...right? Would you sway-experts please weigh in (no pun intended)? Is this a pink sway or no?

-Lost 20-25 lbs in past few months (I am now underweight)
-Constantly stressed, anxious, high-strung, you name it
-Taking supps--pre-natal, DHA, Calcium, B-complex
-Take Zoloft
-Drink coffee & Diet Coke
-Prob need Clomid to get pregnant

Am I doing anything near a pink sway? Or is the stress/supps a blue sway? :think:

The supps don't help you any and stress can go either way depending.

Overall, it's not a bad sway at all BUT if you did want to proceed with swaying I would totally want you to drop the supps for at least 3-6 weeks.

Huge (((hugs))) and wishing you peace of mind.

Thanks, Atomic. What about Clomid/IUI? Does that sway? That's how I had my son and probably what I would need again to get pregnant.

Clomid tends to sway pink but at the same time, IUI tends to sway blue. Neither is anywhere near 100% effective tho.

Searching, I've been following yoru posts a bit and I just want to share my opinion - if I had to go HT just to get pg to begin with, I would have no qualms about taking the next step and bumping up to IVF/PGD. Time is of the essence for IVF success and altho I know it's very scary, it might be best to just bite the bullet (literally if you need to LOL) and go for it.

Wishing you the very best!!

I would think the same Atomic! I have a friend who has had 2 iui's and she got 2 girls so can happen:)

Thanks Atomic. I appreciate your perspective; I just don't know if I can do it because of the "bad thing happening" fear.

Atomic--btw, why does IUI sway blue?

It bypasses the entire female reproductive tract and deposits a great big batch of precapacitated sperm right at the egg. The best data we have indicates that something happens between when the sperm enter the vagina and when they reach the egg that sways gender somehow (even tho we don't know how or why really) and with IUI, you totally skip that step. Also, higher sperm numbers seem to sway blue (again, we don't know how or why) so a big batch of swimmers at the egg may give Y an advantage.
