If we do TTC again, I am swaying for a 5th boy.
I've just been thinking, would Blue horizon's club be a good name, I'm open to all suggestions. I think it would be good if it was something different from the IG clubs as this is a new place isn't it, or Blue In The Clear Horizon's we could shorten it to BITCH's:rofl:
:agree::bigsmile:
LOL bitches too funny :P
Count me in the BITCHES club, we are ttc a boy this month! I'm CD2 today....this is our 8th month (although took last month off as had a chemical on month 6). Gearing up to give it a good shot this month. Feel like my life revolves around disgusting beverage concoctions, which DH gets a kick out of watching me drink. Good luck everyone!
We will sway for a boy, too, but not yet. Gotta get this baby born first :p When my cycles start back after this baby I will start with boy diet/supps since we are not sure when we will TTC and if we get another surprise I want the odds to be blue!
Welcome Lola & Skrimpy :)
Hi TTC5, I am here too...but no longer swaying as I just got BFP! Will do my best to help you ladies out with any questions.
Congratulations Dreaming! Tell me about your sway!!!

Off to take a look =D
Morning all!
LOL I am heading to bed now!
I'm in a bit of limbo atm ladies and just need to get in in one place. My cycle is muddled after the mmc, last weekend my opk's were very dark I'm assuming this was still left over hormone. Today the opk is quite light so things should be tracking normally again now. I feel as if I'm developing a yi which has been happening before each ovv for the last few cycles, so I'm wondering if things are starting up again. I've taken a robitussen just incase I do/dont attempt and to see if it makes a difference for me, but I don't knoe whether to attempt or not? Cons high progesterone from mmc, I have conceived 2 girls after mc/mmc before pros seasons still with me (just) Nov rather than xmas baby, diet's going good. Hmmmm???? What would you do??
Hmm I think I would prob wait xox
8LP, I would probably wait...I took a month off after my m/c. I was scared to get another girl, as DD1 came from ov right after a chemical too. Plus, I wanted to make sure my system had a month of normalcy and getting progesterone out. My doctor did recommend we wait a month. Plus, if you wait, you can take the supps straight through instread of having that 2ww off, all the better for the next month, kwim? Everyone's advice to me, because I had the same questions as you, was to wait but if I didn't care about the supposed increased odds (which they may not even be increased!) of having another girl, then just go for it. We decided what's a month....it will give me time to really get my sway in better order, plus I wanted to see what my cycle would do (it ended up being totally normal). GL and hope you are feeling well!
On a personal note, I had a weird +opk (well, it was about 98% +) at noon yesterday, then a way lighter negative one in the evening....it was only CD11, so I was kinda caught off guard as I never ovulate that early. We decided to go ahead and dtd last night, just in case I did drop a super early egg. Maybe if I would have taken opks at CD9 & 10, they would have shown + or at least a fade in, but like I said, I never ov that early, so I usually start them at CD11. Thanks for the curve ball, body! I'm going to keep taking them and if I get another +, we'll just dtd again.
Hope you gals are doing well!!!
I would probably wait too. I am so sorry. :(
I am living proof that the seasons are not any kind of magic bullet, I have two December boys!
Thanks ladies, I think a wait it is!! Plus I've bought DH some multi-vit so it will give that time to do its stuff!!!!!
8LP, you will feel good about attempting after waiting a month....I feel like I've got a pretty good sway under my belt with 6 weeks of straight diet and supps, kwim? XOXO
Hi ladies not much happening here except heading to chemist today to get the rest of our supps! What do you ladies think are the Must Haves?
Fatty acids (fish oil/flax/EPO), good multivitamin, extra Vit D, and sodium!
ikwym Lola, I will definately be more confidant with waiting a cycle, after all its 30 days isn't it, I can do that:pray::bigsmile: I will be pleased that DH would have had a multi-vit aswell, I know hat whatever effort I make it can all be undone if he's too run down. Roll on af!!
Atomic - have you any expereince of flaxseed? I was worried about it lengthenng my cycle if I ha too much, but I do have a jar of 1000mg capsules just sitting in the cupboard, should I start a 1 a day do you think?
Cheers Atomic.. so the sodium you buy in a supplement too?
No, just eat a lot of salty foods! That's the easiest part of swaying blue if you like salty snacks!
About flaxseed, I have EATEN a lot of flaxseed at times (trying to eat more healthfully and made flaxseed muffins and had two every day for a few month) and it never affected my cycle. All you can do is try it, it has the good Omega 3's in it.
This morning I took: folic acid, fish oil, zinc and vit e... any good?
Will be getting more this pay day probably get some flax seed I think..
8LP, DH and I both take 1000mg of flax in capsules, and it has never bothered my cycle. I am out of it, and was going to buy some more yesterday....I noticed this Omega 3 mix that has fish, flax, and olive oil and such in it which I may try next time (if there is a next time :pray: there is not!!!).
TTC5, are you taking a prenatal mutivitamin?
Oooh, that sounds good Lola, do you recall the brand name??
I'm praying and crossing various digits that this is your month!
THANKS, Atomic! I am hoping we caught that egg, if there was one! The triple omega I found was Nature Made (Target was where I saw it) but I am sure most lines carry one. I used to take one when I was pg with #2 as recommended by my doula, actually! Here is the one I will probably buy:
http://www.naturemade.com/Products/S...s/Triple-Omega
That looks great, I really like how it has the fatty acids in the proper proportions.
I started back up the flaxseed capsules, so I'll be adding them to my sway list, I'm sure I read somewhere that flaxseed was also linked to twins, but that might have been the whole seeds due to the lignans? rather than just the oil though, that would be a major surprise woulldn't it, probably a pair of pinkies for me !!
No I don't take a pre natal as I thought someone told me on IG they sway pink???
Yes, they do say on IG that prenatals sway pink, only because of the calcium and magnesium in them....but mine, Prenate DHA (they are prescription, only $8 a month on my insurance, though!), have about 1/6 of the calcium recommended for ttc pink. So I didn't take them for a while, but then I did again, as I just didn't think it was that big of a deal.
8LP, I've never heard of flaxseeds causing twins, that is interesting! I only take the oil capsules though.
Ladies, how long does it take the hpt to turn negative after mmc? I started spotting on 18th Feb. I'm wondering if I'm feeling a bit odd because af might be due, thanks x
I think it depends on how far along you were, meaning how high your levels of hcg were, but I think you were early like me....it should be negative a month after, I'd think....did you take one this morning???
That is so funny because everyone yelled at me on that site all the time for taking a prenatal because they sway blue. o.OQuote:

So the proper advice would entail breaking up the ingredients in your prenatal and only taking the vitamins that are approved.
But since I think the science supports that more nutrients sway blue and less nutrients sway pink, I believe prenatals sway blue.
