Thanks for the tips about the nuts/eggs. I am still BFing and am a vegetarian so need to compensate for those in a blue sway.
Let's see,
I am taking:
One A Day 50 mult.vit.
krill oil
folic acid
gelatin
vit. D
and only 4 wheatgrass tabs. a day (bottles day 7 each meal-but I can't handle that)
DH is also taking supps. when he remembers so half the week. He doesn't eat a lot of meat either though and does still drink/smoke 1/week/ I couldn't get him to do less than that:(
I hope we just get pregnant our first try because of timing next summer we only have one month that works out for TTCing.
Waffles any news?????
Sonia-looks good
I've been dying to get on all day. I got my BFP today :) :) I'm so excited! Just hoping the baby sticks
Yay Congratulations Waffles!!! Will you be due in May or June?

Thank you for the tips! I have the wheatgrass drinks, but I was going to start them from AF to O on my attempt month. I am thinking I will try for end of November, and use this month and next as practise to pinpoint my ovuation. I had a friend who tried a sway, but she isnt on GD and found out she is having DD2. She used the CB digital ovulation and DTD on + OPK April 15 and said that the US confirmed her ovulation to have occured on April 19. So, I want to do a few practise cycles to make sure I comfortable!Quote:

Thats the only thing that calms me down when I see the scale go up!
WOW!! CONGRATS! So happy for you! :) Sprinkling all the blue dust your way :)Quote:

Sonia, good idea on practise months, that also gives the changes plenty of time to register with your body:agree:
Have you thought anymore about not avoiding the calcium and maybe adding a vit d supp in. Theres akot of studies lately about the benefits of vit d for alot of things.
N710, when are you coming up to attempt time? Soon?!!
I am only Day 2, and I think I have been ovulating later like 17-20. Feels like awhile, but really fast at the same time.
This time of the year is always busy so hopefully the 2ww goes by quickly too
How exciting n710. Best of luck with your attempt.Quote:

Pearl, thank goodness for a late +opk!! Its horrible when circumstance ruins our plans, is he around for the next few days??
n710, you need to get a ticker for me lol, then we can count down with you!! With all this attempting I'm getting tempted to get Davy off the boob a little early but thats a bit naughty lol, I must resist!!!
Hi ELP, I am currently waiting outside DHs work to collect him and bring him with me to the hotel where we have a wedding tomorrow. Dropping DD at her grandparents on the way. So I will have him mostly to myself.
Although since my first post a load of EWCM came out when I wiped after the loo.
Pearl, the timing seems perfect. Hoping you ovulate this weekend after you have time away with DH!
n710, good luck with your sway this month. Thank goodness time is flying for you. I sometimes felt like the wait to O was harder than the 2ww.
Hi ladies. I am new to this whole swaying thing. I have two little girls and would love to have a boy this time around. Any suggestions on how I can make this happen. I was thinking about getting the personalized plav but DH said we have to wait till he gets paid next. We are wanting to start TTC this cycle I am on CD 3 right now. Do you think its too late to start swaying?
Hi brittoneill07. Idealy you would want to be on the diet and supps for 6 weeks minimum before your first attempt. Also starting to do exercise and weights is good for a boy sway and you will need to start doing that asap. I would recommend waiting and getting the sway plan, and charting for a couple of cycles before you go for it so you know when you ovulate etc. But if you must start this cycle you still have a 50/50 chance for a boy.
I would probably give it a few cycles to get diet, exercise and supplements in your system for a while, get to know your cycles. If you really wanted to try this cycle I would definitely start the diet asapQuote:

Is there a place i can get a copy of the diet so I can start it? Also i was reading about extreme gender swaying. Have any of you heard of this or have had experience with this? We have also been looking in to the Shettles method.

Hi Britton,
Welcome. I definitely understand wanting to rush and TTC this month, but take a day or two and read all the info. here and evaluate which you have been doing more, HE or LE. I know my lifestyle was so girl friendly and I was much more LE so believe my chances would definitely not be 50/50 if I tried w/out swaying.
I guess what I am saying is really figure out what feels right to you in regards to waiting a cycle at least to get your self more blue friendly vs. how quickly you want to just get pregnant. I also understand not wanting or being able to try certain months. I'll have one try this month and then if we do try again we won't be able to until January so it can be frustrating.
Just read everything and go with your gut. GL!
Pearl,
Hope you have an awesome weekend!!!!!!

I know I have read that if you drop a feeding or two especially at night it could make your cycle return. There is also something about sleeping with a light on 4 nights in the middle of a month then complete darkness the rest and it can help make your cycle return.
GL with the baby fever!!!!!
Oh, no clue how to make a ticker, but it's okay in a way. I think it would drive me nuts. I am trying not to think about it too much. So, only Day 4 and I think I have been OV'ng late so attempt should be towards the end of the first week of Oct.
Waffles,
I am thinking of you, because I am totally wanting to take a break with this diet in the 2ww. Not a lot, but just a bit. I have gained 4 lbs, but REALLY want to gain 4 more to get up to my pre-preg. weight with DS, but man it's hard. I am so full after lunch! I weighed less with all my girls so would love to get those extra few
Hello Britt:) I think that the extreme gender swaying has been disproven, even to the point of lowering fertility for blue swayers so actually swaying them pink, but I could be wrong? Again, I think Atomic has written some articles about it somewhere, I'll see if I can look them up:)Quote:

I personally would wait before attempting in your situation, just so the changes can happen in your system that way you may be waiting an extra few months to attempts but it would save maybe another 18 months if you jumped in before ready and had a another lovely little girl:)
If you are happy to just roll the dice then my advice would be to stop all processed foods now, so no sweets, cakes or rubbish. Lots of fruit and veg, try for 8 servings a day. Buy a large bag of peanuts and a jar of peanut butter and start working your way through them lol. Cut out any white bread and switch to a healthy multigrain bread, and if your not already, start taking a pre-natal, fish oil and wheatgrass supplement straight away to send a massive a nutrient boost to your system, it may be all you need:) GL and welcome :luck:
I'd not heard that about the light for 4 days!! You shouldnt be encouraging me lol!! We will be moving Davy into a big cot finally some time this week, he is still jumping between the moses basket and my bed all night for booby, but he's at the point with his crawling where I am waking to find him climbing on my head, (hes only 14lb-ish so he still fits in the basket bless him:)), so he needs to be a cot now, my friends husband is attaching 2 toodler beds together bunk bed style for us this week, I will post a pic once their done as I started a thread a good while ago in preparation for this day and it would be nice to finally update it:bigsmile: Im sure his moving to the cot may well signal the drop of the night feeds:suprise: Imagine if we had a load of pre-xmas bfp's!!Quote:

I think I'm actually one of those unlucky ones that ovulate about 12 hours after I detect my surge.Quote:

ELP-The lighting think is in the Garden of Fertility book by Kate Singer if you are curious, but yes sounds like once he isn't with you all night AF will come. Your LO is like my DS, he was 14 lbs. at 6 months.
Well ladies I am back on the 2ww not to sure when I ov'ed as I forgot the OPKs but had middlesmertz on Friday. We DTD every 2nd day for the past 10 days.
So fingers crossed AF won't arrive on the 4th oct
Thanks for explaining that to me. I am new to the world of CBFM and the OPK's so anything I can learn about them helps! I am on month one of CBFM but I am waiting for the peak days to double check with the OPKs. I am using Sept and Oct and "practice" months and hoping for 1st attempt in late Nov.Quote:

I have messaged ELP and dilou for some diet help but wondering if all your blue swayers had some tips as well. I am so much more disicplined when I have an eating plan so I am still trying to create one!
The things I am stuck on:
1) What foods/drinks did you have everyday or every week without fail?
2) What things did you elimiate or cut out from your diet?
3) About how much weight did you gain before attempt?
Thank you ladies for all your help! I know the diet is the most important so I want to make sure I do my best on it.
1. Green tea every night. Fish oil every day.Quote:

3. First attempt didnt gain weight but as the months went on i gained about 10kgs in 7 months.
I freaked out at the weight gain so actually started exerciseing and lost 6kgs when i fell pregnant. But i was still 6kgs heavier than when i concieved DD so i have my fingers crossed.
