Any tips please TTC Boy April 2012

Hi I am new to this forum and appreciate any help,

I have two gorgeous girls and would like to TTC boy April 2012

I have been monitoring temps for 5+ mths, OPK usually day 14 of 30 day cycle.

A few questions if anyone can help:
- how long after first OPK should we TTC?
- diet I have cut out dairy, most fish and chicken etc so survive on lots of bananas, potatoes, crisps, red meat etc - is this right - should I be doing anything different?
- supps have been taking evening primrose and will look to take baking soda drink from start of next cycle - should I be taking anything more? (I am worried about too many sups messing around my body / timing of cycle)
- I have read about using egg white - is this a good idea / not?

Thank you!

Hi and welcome!

There is a ton of info in our swaying forums. Here are a couple links to get you started:

Good luck!

For diet, you want to make sure you eat carbs+protien together at meals and snacks to keep your blood sugar even.

Oh, and there has been a lot of controversy about the egg white. There has been a lot of concern about infection after someone got very sick. You may want to reconsider that and use preseed instead!

Thanks for your advice with the great links, I am confued on dairy as I have read elsewhere that it make the body ph acidic however I read here it is allowed, is that right? I have been using Rice Milk to avoid dairy but would love to go back to normal milk if I could!

On the High Everything (HE) diet, full-fat dairy is allowed. Some people still chose to avoid it, but there have been quite a few boys conceived with HE sways that did include whole milk.

Welcome!

I fully believe the HE diet ;)

Hi chitchat, welcome to GD. When you get your 1st +opk you will ovulate anywhere between 12 and 48 hours after. Most of us believe that timing really has no impact on sway so for the best chance at getting pg you need to have one or two or even 3 good attempts in your fertile window. A popular boy sway timing pattern some of us try for is O-2 + O.

On th HE diet dairy, fish and chicken are totally alowed. Just try to eat really well, frequently. Things to avoid are processed foods and sweets. Dark chocolate is fine.

I wouldn't recommend drinking baking soda from the start of your cycle, usually 5 days before O is enough, but it is not absolutly necessary, it is up to you if you want to do that, there has been no proof that it changes the ph of anything but urine.

Supps that are good for boy swaying are wheatgrass and brewers yeast, they will not mess with cycles and are easy way to get more nutrients.

Preseed is much safer than egg whites. If you try to have the big O a couple of times before your attempt you should produce more ewcm naturally, and that will raise your testosterone which is a good sway tactic too.

Best of luck with your sway, hope to see you in the TTC boy chit chat thread, i am also trying this month for a boy.

The ladies above have posted some great tips.
