November thread for all swaying BLUE xxxxx

Hi Elements and Cass,
I've had lemon water, mixed grain cereal and green tea
An hour or so later had fresh dates and V8 tomato with maca, supps and boiled egg.
Mid morning had a banana, dried apricots and salted nuts.
Lunch had turkey breast, avocado, tomato, whole egg mayo and IB lettuce on w'grain. Juice of blended V8 tropical and fresh Kale and few bits of dark chocolate with roast almonds.
Will have green tea and a fruit platter with some olives and nuts at 3pm with the kids (maybe some sardines in tomato sauce mashed on some crackers too).
Dinner tonight is taco's.
Also went to the gym and drank a litre of water - yippee

Seriously, how do you guys do cereal before bed??????
Maybe I need to eat a smaller dinner.....
I

Elements i struggled with volume too, but really you dont have to eat heaps, it just has to be healthy, and with in the protein + carbs guidelines. You can get most of your vegies and fruits down as a juice.

luvalittleman I used to eat larger meals but now on the HE diet, I don't eat as much for lunch or dinner. Sometimes it is a struggle to eat something before bed and I hate feeling full when I go to sleep. Some days I only manage half a cup of cereal but most days I try and eat a full cup of cereal before bed (I eat it out of a cup :).


I also drink green tea and enjoy having a piece or two of dark chocolate every day. I used to eat a lot of sweets to get by during the day so this diet has been a massive change for me!

I used to eat very little Cass and same old thing most days. The biggest thing for me is the red meat and potatoes adn all the fruit.
Cinss, do you know where you can buy preseed in OZ?

You can check the preseed website for local stockists, you may be lucky to have a chemist near by that has some, i wasn't though and had to get mine off ebay.

Cass I'm the same, I used to survive on sweets and toast for the day, so having to think about what I'm eating instead of opening a packet takes some getting used to:)

Waffles, I cant believe your scan is so soon!!!! Fingers crossed for some of them fantastic blue shots or two;)

Welcome new blue ladies:welcome:

Adia, :fx: for your attempt!!

Welcome and best of luck to all the new blue swayers.

Waffles wishing you all the best for your scan on Thursday. Everytime I think I am having a boy I stop myself and start thinking that this baby is a girl too. I have only had one baby dream so far, and that was in the 2ww of me just after delivering a boy and I was trying to get him to feed.

Speaking of cycles messing up, mine are too! I always had about a 32 day cycle and would o on cd20 but ever since i added the supps my cycle is all wonky! I have charted for years but my cycle was so predictable that i wouldn't needed too. Now since i started supps in august my o day is earlier and my cm is not the same. I had a pretty clear temp rise this morning and it is only cd15! And i am not taking epo, i was in august and saw how messed up that cycle was so i stopped taking it. I am only taking a prenatal, fish oil, b complex, and extra folic acid.

Yeah its amazing how a few tablets or powders can change your cycle like that, it was so frustrating. I slowly dropped everything but fish oil and prenatal by the time i got my bfp.

Hey, ladies. I was on here a year or so ago, but then decided not to try for our third. We've since decided to give it one more try...so here I am again, going to try to sway. We have two DD's right now 5 and 2 1/2 and are dreaming of a son to complete our family. We have always wanted to have a boy and always pictured a boy in the family. I have bought all the supplements and am awaiting my sway plan to officially get started. I have been adding salt to my diet as I never put salt on anything before and have been trying to eat more balanced meals. I do have a question...if I start my sway this weekend, do you think that an attempt in December is too soon?

Awww, thanks for thinking of me. That made me feel so loved!!!

I'm freaking out a lot!:worry:

I had lots of cramping/aching yesterday and a really strong sense of smell. Normally I have almost no sense of smell except when I have really high estrogen. Yesterday evening I had lots of ewcm but no +opk! I tried the opk again this morning around 4am following the directions exactly, first morning urine w/at least 4hrs of build-up and still no +opk!!!

HOWEVER, I got negative pregnancy tests with both DD2 and DD3 when I was around 5-6 weeks prego. Tests at home and at the Doctors office were negative when I KNEW i was prego so I am thinking my urine tests aren't so accurate.

We DTD this morning using pre-seed and I kept my hips propped up for 30min and then slept for another 30min. I'll keep at it with using the ewcm and secondary signs for ovulation...not sure what else to do. I think we will DTD on Thursday morning or Wednesday night if I still have EWCM and no big change....

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!:nails:

Thanks to ELP and others for the TTC love!!

Welcome :)

You should be on the diet a minimum of 6 weeks before your first attempt, best of luck

The volume of food has been tough for me too. I have gotten most of my fruits and veggies down as juice just as Cinss said. I find myself just eating constantly, not a lot but constantly throughout the day - a little here, a little there....feels like all I do these days is eat!!!!

how does preseed work?
Like, you use it.. then do you have to re apply half way through sex because yourve humped it all out?

I dont think you have to drop the b complex and folic acid, see how you go this cycle.

6 weeks on the diet would be the minimum i would be comfortable with, if you could hold off until Jan that would be better, then you dont have to worry so much about indulging a little over xmas and new year.

You get applicators with them so you can put up to 2ml in before sex, i dont think you need that much, you just want to have some up there infront of the cervix to help the swimmers in. Or you can just apply it like you would normal lube :) haha humping it all out was not a problem for me as DP wouldnt really last long enough for that, but yes if you get dry during you can definatly reapply :)

Well I am actually swaying for egg health...I lost bub at 12 weeks last month and I just want to have another baby! But my lifestyle and diet are TOTALLY boy sway friendly, and once you add in all the stuff I'm doing for fertility...well...guess I'm actually swaying boy. Glad to join you all...

Glad to have you Anchor :) Best of luck

Welcome back Anchor :) Best of luck to you!

Welcome Anchor, hope you get a quick BFP and a sticky bean

Dloui, your new 3D pic is so cute.

Thanks ladies...I am still hoping to give it a go in December, but we'll have to wait and see how quickly I can get on the diet/supplements. I am hoping to start this weekend. I have already started loosely following the diet, but haven't cut out some of the big NO's like diet soda...that is going to be so hard!

Thanks ladies...today is a good day...AF IS HERE! Jeez that seemed to take forever, and I'm pretty sure I didn't even ovulate last month (given the m/c), but she is here and now I can start charting. Never thought I would be so happy to see her :)

I just posted a reply and it vanished??

It said congrats on your period :) Its funny the things we get excitedment out of.

Iv woken up and have what feels like tonsilitis developing. Im gargling salt and drinking manuka honey and lemon drinks to try help. im desperate not to have to go get antibiotits. I wont be happy about ttc if im taking antibiotic too.

Goodluck Vanasse and Anchor :bluecheer:

Good luck Adia - sending you all my blue dust and lots of luck!! xxx

Oh Elements, that's too funny :rofl:
I actually don't know the answer for sure but I'd say you just chuck a bit in and a bit around the outside (after having an O to increase what you've got yourself) and go for it....
Any more experienced people, please feel free to give more specific advice if I'm wrong.

On another note, I think I just O'd on day 9 after AF!!! My last cycle came down from 27 days to 25 and this one (if Follicular stage or whatever its called is 14 days) should have me ovulating on the 29th November which, I kid you not, is a FULL MOON!! And a Gemini moon phase to boot. That would make me feel a lot better about the fact my CM ph id 4.5...sigh. Lemon water, where are you going????
Doing full HE diet - any suggestions why my CM is still like a car battery????

Luvalittleman, are you taking any fish oil at all? or any other oils? they should help with CM, if not the robitusen is good for attempt time:agree: With my last sway I had Zero CM but took the robitusen at attempt time and it loosened up what was there, helping to my little fella:)

Anchor, welcome to the thread:) I'm glad that AF is here:agree: Its horrible the 1st cycle after m/c, it just becomes a waiting game for normal to return doesn't it, but now you are back on track!! are you attempting this month??!!

AFM, I am on CD 30 of a possible 31 day cycle (1st possible proper cycle due to b/f) and I am pretty sure that I had no signs of ov at all this cycle (yet?) I am actually pretty pleased about this as I was in 2 minds about attempting this month, tbh, there are definitely things for my sway that I should be doing better!!! So I have upped my game and will be more happy about next month being a real shot:agree: I am pleased to say that I am half way through my xmas shopping! which was one of my main reasons to not be pregnant, but with this well under way I am more happy in general:)

Good luck to all!!:luck:

Yes, I'm going to give it a run this month. I've been doing the "boosting egg quality" supps, HE diet (more like Healthy Everything diet) and I'm ready to go. :fx:

ELP I have posted my sway in the "Please review my sway" section.
Would love you to have a look when you get a chance.

Hi Anchor and welcome! Best of luck with your next attempt. x
Good luck also to Adia, and Waffles.

It's so nice that we have had a burst of blue swayers come on this site, its great :)

oh i know what you mean, I had mentioned trying this elsewhere and i got a range of posters stating that i should just be happy with any baby. -well of course i will be happy with my baby regardless of its gender.

Elements, there's nothing wrong with being honest about wanting a specific gender and it's their bad for thinking any of us wouldn't love and cherish any baby we conceived. It's a dumb, self righteous thing for someone to say. I admit I cried when I found out my third baby was going to be a girl but she is a truly beautiful and funny child who adds so much laughter to our family and I'm so very glad for her joining our family.
I also love hanging out on this site. I don't feel quite so frightened about my impending attempt!

Hello everyone I. Am not new but I took a break from swayinng due to family issues. I am back now and want to try this month I started taking EPO and since then my lips have been very dry I know it sounds weird but has anyone experienced this before. Should I stop taking it I am supposed to O next week. Thanks

My lips have been very dry too and I was taking EPO. BUT I live in a hot dry place so I just attributed it to that. I often have dry cracked lips in the fall and winter because their isn't as much moisture in the air and we usually live where its humid in the summer.

EPO can be taking AF-O so you are good to keep taking it until O.

Adia may I ask how long you have been taking EPO? Has it delayed O or made O late in your experience?
