Thanks!! I am pretty confident in my sway….fingers crossed!! I will still be happy with a healthy baby! I have some pretty bad baby fever right now!!

Hi again Maudster and thanks for your patience.

Your sway looks good to me. It is strict, but over the course of time we can loosen this up as you go.

I am moving away from the baby aspirin. I don't think it helps and does carry risks to it and thus I"m not using it as much any more. IF you were taking it and want to discontinue, wean off slowly.

In what patterns are you tking the herbal supps??

It is not unusual for the pH strips not to work. Quite a few people report that. Never fear though, testing pH doesn't seem to be helping anyone anyway and I've seen so many opposites (including my 4th boy, where I was testing pH 2-3 times a day and never had a reading above 5 till I was already preggo with him) that it is hard for me to believe it any more.

Here is the "anti-pH" essay. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ph-pickle.html

What is un-healthy about aspirin? Is it that it is a blood thinner? Is it not needed because it just affects PH which does not sway? So should I also not do Crystal Light??

I am just not sure how else I can change myself from when I conceived my boys besides testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and PH.

My 1st boy I did no working out and I was 15 lbs heavier than my normal weight but still not over weight, ate un-healthy.

My 2nd boy I was under weight and ran all the time, ran a half marathon 3 weeks pregnant, ate healthy.

AHHH!!!! I guess the difference would be that we did BD EOD the week of O and we will not be doing that this time.

Any other suggestions.

RE the aspirin - the stats are showing it's not helping and the risks are many. Bleeding, bruising, extended AF, possibly even upping risks of heart attacks (although I think that is because people stop and start it suddenly and don't wean off the way that we do). I also think it may contribute to some pregnancy losses with subchorionic hemmorhage.

We don't even know that T, E, P, AND PH even sway one bit. You can't focus on things like that because all those things are, is just theories. All you can do is stick with what has seemed to work best for others, which is diet 12+ weeks with fiber, exercise, and one attempt.

Don't look back at what you did before. It's NEVER one thing, unless that one thing is "bad luck" (in quotes because a healthy baby is never bad luck) I ahve an essay on coming back from an opposite here (while you were prob. not even swaying, it's still a helpful read to snap out of the "I gotta do everything different this time" mindset. :) http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ys-attack.html

Yeah, I def. do not want to bruise or bleed so I weened myself off of the aspirin. I will be starting Vitex and Saw Palmetto, Sunday at the start of AF through my Ovulation. Is this the way you recommend to take them? I will be staying on Folic Acid and Fiber full time. My fiber says to take 5 a day….should I really take that many? Seems like a LOT! My husband will start licorice root on Sunday at the start of my AF also.

I plan on trying to be strict for 2-3 months and then ween off of the stuff that is making it harder to get pregnant. Like rePHresh and licorice root.

I do need to stop thinking about what I did my last attempts and worry about this one. It is making me too stressed out and what is going to happen will happen. This is my last time "Trying" to get pregnant and I need to enjoy it. This will be our last baby!

Any other suggestions?? I would love a girl but a healthy baby is what matters!

Yes I have people usually go from CD 1- 1or2 days before they expect to ovulate, or positive OPK whichever comes fitst.

No, you don't need to take that many. Start with one at any meal containing fat and go from there.

EVerything looking good! STay positive!

Ok I just read your "When sways Attack" article. Now, I dunno what to do?? Maybe I should not do rePHresh at all, maybe a finger tip 30 min before? I didn't realize that vitex and SP made it harder to conceive? EHHH!! I know i will not be able to stand the diet for long, so maybe it is best to just start out with a light sway, like you said something that is easy to manage. I am not sure that I want to drop Vitex and SP though bc I was thinking that lowering my Testosterone along with diet and exercise would be a great way for me to go? Maybe I should just get off of vitex if it is messing up my cycles.

SP & V can cause issues but they don't ALWAYS, for everyone. I never had issues on SP (though I didn't take it with V or for swaying purposes) and some ladies find V helps with conception. So while it's true that they tend to inhibit conception overall, that is the point of swaying pink. I think taking them for 2-3 months before you TTC then stopping once you start attempting is the best of both worlds, as you get any pink effects without messing up your cycles when TTC. Until you're actively TTC, it doesn't matter much if your cycles are affected. And, it's possible the disruption of cycles is part of how these supps sway pink.

But above all, go with a sway that you find as relaxing as possible. If you know you'll stress over supps, skip them. They're not essential by any means.

I am not too stressed about the sups, I figure if it messes with my ovulation day that is what I am using my OPK's for. I just know that I will not be able to do the diet for all that long. I am already thin, I don't eat huge meals and have cut out red meat, but I like to snack. I can do smaller portions but I like to snack.
