hi ladies is there a thread on here somewhere to explain all the abbreviations as im not understanding all the comments lol, im wanting to start swaying in july but as i only came off the bcp last month im going to find it hard to find out when im going to ovulate or have my menstrual, is it right that for swaying pink i should try to catch just before i ovulate or have i heard this wrong, i think i need a beginners manual for all this info :) xx
One attempt at positive opk.x

eleena I think most of us that have 3 same genders weren't swaying previously. I wasn't, and my regular routine is very boy friendly. Failed sways happen, but I wouldn't say they are super common on here from what I've seen.
Bluebonnet, I dropped the diet because I'm scared it hurt egg quality last time, so atm, I'm doing exercise as many days as I can muster, skipping breakfast, fiber, cinnamon, vitex and SP, and reducing portions. (I'd prefer loose some weight even if I'm not doing the LE diet) Plan to switch from vitex/SP to clomid the attempt cycle, use zyrtec+benydyl (clomid does not seem to have a drying affect for me) with one attempt from postive OPK. debating reading into all the ion stuff, dunno much about that, but if it's as easy as wearing nail polish I'm in lol
Also, anyone know where the thread on ion theory is? I'd bet there is one, but I don't see it in the library at all. It's the one "sway" tactic I haven't done any reading on, I hear about nail polish and lavendar or something?
Hi, we're taking the summer off to detox after 2 back to back miscarriages.
Planning to try again late summer/ fall. Hoping for a girl to even out our family if we can!
Not getting too intense into swaying, we're vegan so that's on our side, I'm taking calcium, prenatal, cranberry, vit c, and DHA because I'd rather have a healthy baby than a specific gender. Hubby might be convinced to take cranberry for a short amount of time. We're going to focus more on timing than diet.
Hi and welcome Lulabell! I'm so sorry about your miscarriages. You might want to try adding exercise if you have the time/desire. It seems to be working quite well and you can still eat whatever you need to, to feel OK about TTC :)
i cant wait to start my girl sway now, just waiting for my plan, was wondering though is it cranberry juice for a pink sway and just for dh or do i take it aswel, and how much a day do you consume, thanks ladies, heres to us all having a healthy sway x
Hi Lulabell! Sounds like we're going to be doing similar sways. I'm going back to veganism (with the exception of eggs from our chickens in the backyard and Kerrygold butter) for our sway and I'm planning on just staying around 1800 cals a day. After talking a lot with women on this site and with atomic, there's no "magic bullet" foods - so I'll be eating healthy food and just less of it. The couple of things I'm doing that will be "empty calories" are going to be having wine or another kind of drink most nights a week, having chocolate as some of my daily calories, and also switching to sourdough made with white flour rather than whole wheat. I'm also concerned about impacting egg quality with foods, so I'm choosing 1800 cals of healthy food and wine, an hour of cardio daily, aspirin and timing for our sway and feel pretty good about its chances of making a girl ... and I feel even better knowing that my body will be healthy going into pregnancy. It's been nice to have everyone to sound these things off with and figure out something that seems right for me and my priorities that also increase our chances of a girl baby :).
On being tired and going it alone:
My husband is still not on board and I'm supposed to start my LE diet tomorrow. I've been running every other day and getting ready, but if I say the word "pregnant," he still rolls his eyes and leaves the room. Today we were supposed to be going to a nearby city with the boys to go to an art museum, have some yummy lunch at a cafe, and just a nice day. I'm exhausted from dealing with this stupid stress and this stupid marriage and having married such the wrong person. I don't want to go and pretend to be okay for him. I'm tired of pretending to be okay for him.
I want to be excited about getting ready to TTC. I want to be excited about potentially having a daughter. Instead I'm dealing with stress - not only something that he's uninterested in, but something that I actively do not want to bring up to him because I'm tired of his unpleasantness.
He's acknowledged that we'll either be having another child or getting divorced. He's right. If I'm going to be having a dramatically different life than I had hoped, I'm sure as hell not spending it with the person who decided that he was and always will be more important in this relationship than I am. I'd rather be a single mom and have the opportunity for love and respect in a future partnership, as well as all the different opportunities for education and employment that being out of this marriage would bring.
I've spent some time reconnecting with a past romantic flame (just talking, obviously, nothing unethical). It feels good. It reminds me that there is a life outside of this relationship. I'm starting to lean towards never having a daughter and being out of this relationship being a way better option than continuing to try to have my husband see my side and spending my life with someone who is so utterly, completely selfish.
I've gotten so used to seeing my hand without wedding rings on. It feels good, too.
He has no idea why any of this would be a big deal - why it would be a big deal that I never had a daughter, why it would be a big deal that I desperately want a third child. He thinks I should just let go of it, because it doesn't matter to him, and so why would it matter to me?
I feel so worn down and exhausted and just. Tired. And I'm supposed to go shopping for my LE stuff today. And all I want to do is cry. How could I have married someone like this?
