Hi hopper I also had an opposite last year- ds2 was born December 2016. I'm swaying again now and hoping to start ttc in September. I am trying to avoid the swaycessing I did last time too. I think your plan sounds really smart! Clomid, exercise, one attempt, vegetarian, coffee and fasting between meals are the best tactics I've seen on this site so you are really in a great place if you can do them!
Wishing you all the pink luck in the world xx
^^^What she said!! I too had a sway opposite with my DS3. It was due to my total undoing- I was the swaycessing queen, haha!!
Your plan Hopper is exactly what brought me the DD I'm currently pregnant with. Just remember, if it takes you awhile to conceive, don't drop anything or change anything that is getting good results. Change up the stuff that doesn't sway, like jump and dump, lube, etc. Just keep on keeping on. Also, don't sweat the curve balls life will throw at you! Just keep on doing what you can manage. I couldn't keep up the exercise due to the stress of my DS3 needing surgery and only sleeping 3-5 hours a night the 7 weeks before my BFP. I also needed a 4th small snack due to the stress I was under. The point I'm trying to make is, take things as they come and just always do the best with what you are given. I'm a firm believer that this is the attitude girl mom's have that us all boy mom's desperately need!!
You can do this! Trust me!!

Ok I'm pretty sure I'm swaycessing
Any tips on how to not do it???
Your sway that worked, did you count totals with an app etc or just guess?

This makes me so jealous. I miss my coffee, fitting in my jeans and not stuffing my face 24/7. But it will be worth it for another baby, and even more so if I finally get my boy. Here, take ALL my pink dust! Hope you get your girl, it looks like you're making (what I would consider) the most important changes.Quote:

No, you can't just have one attempt when you usually O. That won't work. There is no other option, it's either e4d/e3d or else OPK. Or, you can just let hubby set the pace and DTD when he wants but that is a huge gamble on the Clomid.
Fine to go onto vitamins for now, cut back to 3x a week at some point prior to TTC. Don't just drop them, cut back for a while and then wean off eventually or even just keep going at 3x a week if you think you need them. I like you guys to do 1200-1600 mcg folic acid or better yet folate (more expensive though)
:agree: exercise, that's good.
As a general rule once a person has had a failed sway I have them switch over to PCO-type diet. I understand if you can't do that though. What about Weight Watchers? Will he catch onto that? We've had decent success with WW as a sway diet so I think that may be a good compromise.
yes fiber still recommended
Go easy on the weight loss, pace yourself with that.
Lack of sleep can definitely help sway pink!
12 weeks on diet = good results, the WW option included.
For whatever reason that 3rd boy is what gets so many of us. I had way less GD with my 4th boy than my 3rd. :)
Just keep going with your sway till it all becomes old hat and you're used to it. Don't pore over the site and the stats looking for some magic combo of stuff that doesn't exist, just do what's worked for most people most of the time.Quote:

You see how at the end of it, that is really just the exact same thing in a different outfit? So you must acknowledge yes I'm going to feel some tension about this now and then but I'm doing my best and everyone feels like this. Over the course of time you will relax about the whole thing (and I believe tht to be at least in part why the 12 weeks on diet actually works better, it gives you time to settle into it all.)
Yes that's fine not to do OPK in the months between now and TTC! Just want to be sure you're not taking Clomid in months you aren't TTC, right?Quote:

1)Yes that's just what I'd have you do but only if you can make it without that. Iron has actually not been very predictive of sway opposites with many pink swayers having to take it at least 3x a week so of anything, let's not worry about that.Quote:

3)Both 2 and 3 meals are absolutely fine and allowed on LE Diet. NO need to EVER go to 2 meals. I had 3 when I got my DD. I think you should do WW and not worry about calculating the grams of fat and protein as long as you're sure you are getting ENOUGH (the main reason I have people track is to get enough, not worrying about too much.)
Reading through this thread a few questions came to mind:
1. There's talk of "undoing" of a sway - is that due to obsessing over every detail? What should I avoid? I'm trying to get a solid plan so I can chill and just do the light diet and cardio everyday, adding coffee [emoji37] and hubby is running and biking too. I tend to go through waves of type A personality when I get fixated on something and then some periods of time when I'm more type B and super chill about stuff. Haha.
2. Clomid... I'm assuming you can only get it if you have had a long time trying without being able to get pregnant? It's bad to take or it will overstimulate your ovaries or something? I feel like everyone on here has taken clomid or femara to get girls haha.
