i have prenatal vitamins (elevit) from last time which I have not finished, though I was worried these have too much extra calcium & magnesium so I didn't take this, and plan to save them for when i get pregnant again. I'm still waiting for my sway plan but started taking these:

DW:
- women 1 a day
- DHA for pregnancy (bioisland brand, from CW)
- coq10 30mcg (maybe after finishing this bottle i will get the 50-100mcg)
- probiotic
- wheatgrass
- additional folic acid 800mcg

DH:
- men 50+ 1 a day
- fish oil 1000mg
- probiotic
- coq10 30mcg

I read somewhere that there are also other vitamins to give DH to take L-arginine 500mg ; L-Cartinine 500mg & Vit D 1000IU...

oh, is it i should only take wheatgrass every few days.. :worry: .. then i'll change this, i just take them everyday because I thought it helps to sway blue.. :p :p I tried to get DH to take wheatgrass too but he dislikes the taste of them - I can't even taste them in the smoothie so I don't mind :D :D :D

I've gained 1.5kg in the last 2 weeks since being on a HE diet (previously i only have 2 meals/day but now i changed to 3 meals & 2 snacks/day) ... =)) ...
i'll try to control this weight gain because i'm already on the chubby side to start with :xy: perhaps by eating more small meals but not too much food for each meal, perhaps more veggies & meat but fewer carbs.
Both my husband and I we started for the last 1 month to do weights 5 times/week for 30-40 minutes in the morning :bluecheer: i must admit the HE diet & having the motivation to exercise more often feel great. ^_^

BNI – you are doing fantastic – and Atomic will be able to advise you further – my 2 cents worth are and again confirm with Atomic she’s the expert!

The prenatal will be fine, even with magnesium and calcium – you might have seen it is recommended to have several serves of full fat dairy every day – as it is great for fertility so I wouldn’t shy away from the prenatal based on that fact alone.
If your prenatal has DHA then you can drop the extra dha maybe?
The prenatal would also have folic acid – so you wouldn’t need the additional one (unless the one you have is the methyl folate??)
For the wheatgrass – if you don’t mind the taste, then I think it is fine, truly – again like with everything else double check with Atomic!

Double check that your hubs’ multi doesn’t already have fish oil cq10 vit D etc as it might be too much otherwise – not sure about the L-arginine, L-cartinine etc – def a no no for you, but some may be good for him so wait for her green light on that?!

Regarding your weight gain, it’s a good sign in a way, shows that it has had an impact on your condition already – like it’s been said before it’s not about exploding the calorie meter, but ensuring you get loads of nutrients – so ensure you get lots of high nutrient foods, not necessarily super high calorie – the idea is to keep that blood sugar level stable – you say you do a smoothie, do you eat other things? Liquid calories are not the most efficient way to get your intake – so maybe look at how you spread your intake throughout the day (if you have foods to chew, your brain has more time to process the info, and digesting them will be a more steady affair).
You already are exercising well, your weight gain may well just be some muscle gain ;)

ditto! :D

EPL – just a question if you don’t mind my asking – genuinely curious: since you already had both genders before swaying – what made you want to sway? Have a balanced number of each gender? Or are girls truly more difficult and you preferred sons? Lol

Hi ladies, I am new when it comes to the use of opk's. So I used one today and saw a very faint line. What does that mean? Negative?

Negative but it should turn positive very soon (unless its faint because you just missed your surge). Basically there's a small amount of LH but not enough to be positive. It has to be equal or darker than the test line to be positive. I get a faint line the day before positive, then i get a positive for 2 days in a row, and then sometimes I get a faint line the day following.

Thank you! It is still faibt today..And I have these weird cramps too. I read somewhere that one still can ovulate even though the lines are fade.

DH took coq10 for our 1st sway plus an occasional mens one a day, for the next 2 he didnt take anything:)
Sway 1
Sway 2
Sway 3 was an unintentional oopsie during a healthy phase of mine where I switched back to my blue sway eating of no bread, plenty of nuts cheese, meat fruit and veg, and taking fish oil and occasional wheatgrass. I find when I'm swaying blue I just feel so much more enthusiastic? about life:) So if all of a sudden you feel yourself strutting down the road then you know things are working lol:bigsmile:

Yes I believe I read atomic said that before. I guess sometimes they don't quite pick it up. This happened to me one time I think because it always goes in the exact pattern I described except this one specific time I had a faint line for 3 days but it never did quite read positive.

Also I think some people may get faint lines for multiple days that gradually get darker until 3-4 days in and then read positive.. I've never had that though.

Good luck, meoab!!

Back again:)
My Dh had always joked that I can have as many children as i wanted as long as I kept the boys ahead of the girls, so the pressure was on from the beginning to keep it balanced or leaning one way:) The order is :biggirl2::bigboy::bigboy::biggirl2::bigboy::biggi rl2::biggirl2::biggirl2: Swaybabies:bigboy::bigboy::bigboy: So we kind of kept it balance for the first 6 then the next 2 were both girls, at this point the silly gender comments from the world were starting to grate on both of our nerves so after stumbling across swaying on a gender guessing site I started to look into it:) So unfortunately I can tell you that even when you add your blues to your line up the world will still! not be happy as they only shut up at balanced!;):bigsmile:
I have always been a very tomboyish person so had never seen myself as a girl mum, I still as a mum of 5 ladies cannot do a french plait! and have to admit to finding the boys easier. I think this is because in a small way I think the boys success in life leans more on DH and the girls on me, what if I fail the girls, what if they don't do well or arent happy or god forbid become the village mattress, then I have failed. Boys don't seem to have as much pressure in my house? I know this is different everywhere so I am just talking about here, but in work they will work with their dad, in life they are free to be more roamers maybe? so less opportunity for me to have failed, does that make sense? The responsibility of daughters I find scarier. So the more brothers thay have scaring the hell! out of every possible danger around them the better:agree::) I fear the world for the girls? which is a very strange thing to say but I have to keep them safe. Never really tried to put it into words before so I hope this doesnt read slightly crazy:bigsmile:

YESSSSSSSS! I agree with this.

Can anyone tell
Me how to wean off folic acid and when and by what mcg after bfp? Taking 2000mcg including
Prenatal.


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

I read a post before that said to continue the amount you were taking when you got pregnant all the way up to 12 weeks, then gradually wean down to just your prenatal.

Thankyou ttcblue18. Are u trying this cycle?


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

Youre welcome! Congratulations on your pregnancy!!

This cycle I have skipped, awaiting af, expected June 4th and I will have my first attempt in June! :)

Thankyou. Fx for your attempt.

Just found out that our sway didn't go as planned... I will probably be back here in a year. Here's to three girls and the dream of a son still [emoji322]

Hello lovelies,

Thanks for your insight EPL – makes a lot of sense actually! Haha :D
Agree the responsibility of daughters somehow feels greater – so much more difficult even in (or all the more so) this day and age to be a woman, and we want to raise them strong and yet shield them also from this world where they will have to stand up for themselves and deal with so much…
I think I would relax more ,if that makes sense, if I only had boys….

Jconger – congrats on your little girl – she was meant to be yours! I can understand the “loss” of that son you had hoped for this time around, and cross fingers for you that you get your prince next time. Is your little girl all ok, and pregnancy tracking ok?

Here we are at cycle 2, and hubby got sick so started antibiotics today due to a throat infection (ok, wasn’t ‘just’ a man flu lol).
Do any of you know if him taking those are ok/ Opks not pos yet but probably tomorrow evening or Weds might be – so attempt time very clooose!

Are there any moms of three girls trying again for a boy? Just found out Friday we are having a third girl. I was so sure this was our son and just feel discouraged. I don't think we will be done as planned but I would love to hear from some moms of 3 girls...

I have three girls! I'm pregnant again, but gender still unknown.

I had a positive OPK for the first time. But we didn't bd for almost two weeks and have done in the morning without knowing I was ovulating (not sure I am though.. and I used pre seed..). What should we do? Continue bd'ing tonight and first thing tomorrow morning?

Yes, I would meoab, good luck!!:)

Hi Elp,thank you! We BD'ed two days ago in the mornibg and night, then day after night. I had a very dark line today, darkest line till dat. What should I do ladies. Wait a day and bd the dat after?

Im so sorry, I know it must be tough. I've gone over the "what if I get a 3rd girl" scenario in my head a million times. I think of the loss i will feel of the son i never had, and never will have. Then I look at my 2 beautiful girls and think how happy they will be to have a baby sister to grow up and bond with, and I realize it will be okay. It will be more than okay, because what's meant to be always finds a way. I know it sounds so cheesy, but God must have thought that little girl's need for a mother like you is just too great. Congratulations on your healthy baby girl!! I wish you all the best and hope you get your blue bundle with your next sway! Try to keep your head high!

I'm sorry if this comes off insensitive in any way, I'm not the best at putting my thoughts into words, but I wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you.

So I have had 3 days in a row positive ovulations tests. Lines are darker than the test lines. Did anyone else have this and what could this possibly mean? Is my body confused or might there be something else?

Hi Meoab, May I suggest you to ask this in the June 2WW thread. The ladies there are great help and that is a super active group. A lot of ladies here are a part of that. Pbn knows a lot and has the best advise and pretty much everyone is super helpful and know a lot. It also has a couple of blue swayers me included and I got a bfp recently.


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

Congrats hun, very happy for you.

Thankyou. Please join us in the 2WW group.

Hello all blue swayers ❤

I am so obessed with this site that i am spending most of my nights reading all the threads, sways And specially essays by atomic (May God bless this lady for all her time and support). I know its crazy yeah!

I am following HE Diet religiously now and we ll ttc next month. But I am having a lot of heart burn since a week, is it because of this diet change (eating like a horse already!lol)? Or is it because of 5mg folic acid i am taking every night? What should I take to ease it?

I am looking for a lot of support and tips from all of you.

Love and blessings!

Hey everyone long time no see. So we took some time off become the pressure to try with everything was too much for hubby and I. We haven't been really following the bd pattern and I went out of town a couple weeks ago to get this monday...

We only had one try and I am 99% sure this is another girl. Edd 3/31. I'm trying to stay posative and not worry to much but my obsessive personality makes that hard.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...571ad13f3f.jpg

Oh wow Bommy congrats on tour bfp. I'm sorry it wasn't under your 'ideal' boy sway circumstances but you always have a shot at a baby boy. Many women here seem to have gotten boys with only 1 attempt and perhaps even some minor changes in diet/lifestyle compared to before may be enough to sway things in your favour.

I find the BD pattern for a boy sway the hardest part as it's the one part I don't have 100% control over.

I thought being a bit obsessive was supposed to be a boy mumma trait anyway?

Welcome Samish, seen a few of your post around recently, sorry haven't had more time to reply.

Adjusting to the HE diet can be such a change. Suspect it's just the amount of food causing the heartburn rather thab the folic acid but I'm no expert.

Hello ladies, first of all I would like to apologize for leaving the group. I didn't realize until just now that its still being used.. I switched over to the 2ww thread back when there was no activity going on. How is everyone?

Also I want to thank ELP and all the other ladies who helped me on my short lived swaying journey. I appreciate all the support, advise and encouragement I recieved from everyone on this site. It's a wonderful support system and something I've never experienced IRL. I'm so fortunate to have found you all. :heart:

I got my bfp today at 9dpo so I guess we'll find out in a few months if my sway was successful. Thanks again ladies! :hugs:

Yes May be. I hope it will go away soon. All this heartburn is giving me that "pregnant" feelings already lol.

Hi!! I am new here! I'm swaying blue. I unknowingly swayed for #1 and #2 after reading here. This time I'm making an informed decision to sway for #4 (1 DS and 2DD). I am getting my game plan together and am really learning a lot here and love all the support I see

Yay for more new blue swayers, seen a couple around recently. It's amazing how many of us seem to have unknowingly swayed in the past, so interesting. When will you be ttc?
