Thank you in advance :)

How long has he been on SP?? That can sometimes lower sperm health.

Cholesterol lowering meds may help sway pink.

I would not have him add in anything else in the way of supps for your sway.

Yes yes keep going with the magnesium. I like everyone to be on 1200-1600 mcg folic (especially since you are not eating any things like fortified grains and such) just to be on the safe side.

What do you normally do for potassium??? Things like chicken and dairy do have quite a bit of potassium in them. I'd probalby just do a coconut water if that is allowed for you.

2 attempts may be slightly more blue friendly but it is better than SMEP!!

We got poor results with less than 6 weeks on diet BUT ya gotta do what ya gotta do and personally if I'd been TTC several months I'd be inclined to go for it.

Shettles is really really bad at getting people pregnant unfortunately so I would try either doing every 4 days (without the extra attempt) OR every 4 days plus one (like we talked about) or just one attempt on O-1 instead of such a long cutoff. Any of those things will be better odds of conception than Shettles cutoff.

Okay, I will go for 50-70g of protein and fat, and up my folic acid to 1600 mcg :) I have not been doing anything for potassium, I guess just the dairy and chicken. I might want to add a supplement, since I cut back on the amount of these things I am eating, to stay within the protein range.

Since I don't want to do anything that is more 'boy friendly' I will probably try just every 4 days this month, and see what happens. If that doesn't work, I will try every 4 days with one more attempt at positive opk. Plus, if it doesn't work this month, it will give me an extra 4 weeks on the diet :)

I am also considering Zyrtec for the 5 days leading up to O, is that still something that sways girl?

Is it recommended to avoid orgasm when swaying for a girl?

Thank you again, you are awesome!

He has only been on the SP for about a week, he was taking flomax for urinary issues, but hasn't for awhile. Then he started taking cranberry, but switched to SP. Is one better than the other?

So, we DTD last night on cd7, we will again tomorrow on cd9, then cd13 and cd17 (trying to get O-1 while still doing every 4 days, since I ovulate on cd18). If I happen to ovulate a day early on cd17, while having just the one attempt on O day be more boy friendly? Sorry to be such a pain, you are so helpful!

Our results with Zyrtec have been pretty neutral so unless you're totally sold on it, it does cut odds of conception. May be something to consider leaving out. Your call to make.

Orgasms are here. ONe of those gray areas we really aren't sure about. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...s-swaying.html

cranberry is not a replacement for SP, it's a different thing entirely. Honestly, I'd probably leave them all out and just go with the cholesterol medication since some of the interactions make me nervous and they are largely unstudied and unknown.

Wtih the every 4 days you aren't supposed to try to make it come out a certain day, just set the pattern up and then put it out of your head, try not to think about it too much.

Timing doesn't sway http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html, most of us on here have 2-3-4 or more timing opposites. It's the number of attempts, and doing every 4 days you're really in with only one good attempt no matter how you slice it - even if worst case you end up with O-3 and O Day, that's really just one attempt, because if there's anything left over from the O-3 it will fertilize the egg before the O Day shot gets there and capacitates, and if there isn't, then the O day shot can then make up for that and you're still in with a shot. :)

That makes perfect sense, thank you!

So, I have been reading the "Nuts and bolts of swaying" thread and I am really nervous. It seems like BD every 4 days from AF sways blue. I am especially worried, because my attempt will end up on O day with the every 4 day pattern. I know I am supposed to put it out of my mind, but it seems I am doing everything wrong to sway girl.

RW, some of the stuff in that is older and while in principle the idea was that regular release by your hubby would sway blue, in practice that has gotten good results for pink (better than one attempt, but I'm not sure that is a real finding or only a quirk of the stats.)

I think we need to view this in the context of your original question, which was that you were having trouble getting pregnant with Shettles and were considering going all the way to SMEP!! So please view this thru the lens of "what I was doing wasn't working, and this is probably better than SMEP." :)

If you think you're going to come out on O Day and it's really bugging you, that's ok to shift it a little. skip a day or something to make the pattern come out right. I just don't like people doing all the jockeying around trying to have it fall a certain day.
