So exciting! I hope it all goes well for you!
Feels good to be on your way to really ttc I gues? Good luck!
Thanks! I am really anxious and ready for the surgery part to be over. I was so disappointed that it hasn't happened yet that I started to give up hope that it ever would. My DH was so excited that he was actually jumping up and down, lol!
Hi Ladies,
I received my custom sway 2 days ago and I start diet and exercise tomorrow. I'm SO intimidated by all of it! What kind of exercise does everyone do? I live in the Midwest and it's been negative temps here. Outside exercise is out of the question. The only cardio I can do inside is our stationary bike (which I hate). I'm motivated enough to suck it up and do it but I wish there was something more fun I could do inside.
You could do exercise videos. These are pretty good and don't require a lot of space: Amazon.com: Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds Ultimate Collection: Leslie Sansone, n/a: Movies & TV. Her voice gets a little annoying but after a little while, you kind of remember the moves and can listen to headphones or music while you're doing it.
So exciting!! And it's adorable how excited your dh was.Quote:

I'm looking at actually starting some yoga to help with me stress levels. :) Nothing strenuous, more along the meditative lines. My fav exercise is just fast walking. Then again, I'm in CA, so it's never that cold here.Quote:
I'm struggling though because I'm a yogi through and through. I was an avid runner (running 25-35 miles per week) when I was bitten by the yoga bug and now I spend 10+ hours a week on my mat. I know that I should be doing 60 minutes of cardio 5-7 days per week, so I think I'll compromise and turn my yoga practice more meditative.
Hi girlie! Just popping in to say hi, and sending you giant pink sticky vibes for your sway this year! Xx
Glad I could help! :) The Myo-Inositol is one of the ingredients in Pregnitude, which atomic suggests taking. The other ingredient is Folic Acid which I am not supposed to take because I have the MTHFR mutation which makes it so that my body cannot properly process folic acid. So, I take just Myo-Inositol and Folate (specifically L-M5-Methyltetrahydrofolate). Folate is the most biologically active form of folate. I wish I would have started taking Myo-Inositol years ago! It is like a little miracle in a bottle! I love it. It is the only reason that I am actually able to lose weight on the alternate version of LE. My body just has no clue what to do with carbs. I highly recommend it!Quote:

I've been talking to my sister about ttc and she told me she hopes that I get my DD, I started balling my eyes out! I never cry. I feel like I've gone completely nuts. I remember being more emotional like this the last couple of times I started LE also. I'm going to blame the diet, lol! Anyone else notice things like this?
Hey! Thought I would pop in since I'm ttc in May 2015 :) I'm swaying :DS: , anyone else swaying boy?
Hi everyone! I won't be swaying pink until fall but just wanted to say hi. I will probably stalk this thread! I hope you all get your girl! Ash, I hope you get your boy!
So after a bit of pushing on my part, and showing him lots of pics of adorable squishy newborns, DH is finally on board with us TTC again.
I found this forum while trying to find info on swaying for a girl, and was delighted to hear weight loss & spring conception both tend to favor team pink :)
I'm 10lbs below my heaviest weight ever, and 30lbs up from what I was after delivering 2ndson... Apparently I'm just doomed to lose weight while preg & gain while nursing :P But on the up side that means I have plenty of room to lose while swaying.
Thx luvmyfam, I hope you get your girl! I do think I might be one of a loooow number looking to concieve a boy in spring, is this a bad sign? Lol
Welcome, Ashforblue and Wannabowbaby! Ashforblue, I don't think it's a bad sign at all! I conceived mine in all different seasons: DS1 = summer, DS2 = fall, DS3 = winter, & DS4 = late summer/early fall.
Wannabowbaby, that's how I convinced my DH too! Although, it did take about 4 years to get him on board, lol! He was a tough nut to crack but I am very persistent. It also helped that my sister kept popping out baby girls. :)
Ashforblue- My DD and ElderSon have the same birthday 3 years apart. So conceived in the same month. ANd younger son was conceived in April. SO seasons def aren't a big huge deal in swaying. But I'll take all the help I can get in getting me another girl LOL
Right! My girls were both conceived in the fall! I hope we all get what we want :) I know it prob didn't make a difference, but since this is my last baby, I find myself getting a little paranoid over it all.... I even looked if I was going ttc during a full or new moon... ;)
Hi ladies, we are going to TTC march/April time. It was dec/jan but I've not done too well on the diet. One minute I get the diet the next I think I'm not eating the right things. I seem to be eating more now than I usually do which really worries me. Thinking like this is probably worse for my sway than my diet! The excercise is doing great I do 60 mins treadmill or cycle 6 days a week. It's very cold outside so I'm sticking to the garage right now. I also walk the dog for a least 40-60 mins everyday too. DH has been great taking the supps, changing his diet and even cycling 3 x a week bless him.
Ash I conceived DS 2 in the spring! So happy to hear you conceived girls in the fall! This will be our last baby and I can get a little obsessive too... checking moon, Chinese gender chart ext!Quote:

Frilly lady , your prob eating more b/c your exercising so much!
Does anyone else that is doing the exercise absolutely hate it? I've been doing the 60mins for the last week and I feel like after 45mins, I'm just beating a dead dog. You know what I mean? Why on earth does anyone exercise this long?! It just seems crazy, lmao!!
I thought I'd hate it but I'm doing ok. It gets to about 30 mins on the treadmill and I get the shakes a little and think I've got to stop but it soon passes then I'm ok again. I've mixed it up this week with cycling, I cycle and watch a movie at the same time. I'm not a movie fan so finding something I will watch through has been the hardest? I get you about the length of time though, I sometimes think if Atomic changes this to less time in the future when I've stopped swaying I don't know whether I'd laugh or cry!
I need to start exercising but I really have NO IDEA what I'm gonna do. No room for my own exercise equipment, no realistic way of dong the gym thing, and too damn cold to go walking right now LOL
I really wanna get a balance board for my Wii and get back into that like I was after elderson was born, but I'm a little skeevy about buying a used one and can't afford a new one right now :/
wannabowbaby, I've just been walking around inside my house while watching a movie. It seems weird but it is actually not too bad. I make sure to move my arms a lot to increase the intensity. It's kind of boring but the movies help. It also gets repetitive but I'm not coordinated enough to do exercise videos (which you could try). I'm hoping to get a treadmill soon but for right now, this is working really well.
Well you could also go on YouTube and do power walk videos.... They can seriously kick your butt!! Look at jessicasmithtv... That's what I do and she has a ton of different exercises to choose from... Right now I'm going to do her strength training since I'm swaying boy, but She has a great selection of low impact videos.... Good luck!
Wannabowbaby I bought a wii game called dance revolution it comes with a dance mat and you can track your weight and calories lost and the amount of time you are dancing. If you like that sort of thing that is. Once I'd got the mat I've bought just the games second hand! When Im fed up with running or cycling I dance which is much more fun!
I don't dance very well LOL. I LOVED the Wii Fit back when elderson was a baby, and could easily put in 60-90 mins a day on it. Then we moved and had some unexpected bills come up & had to sell our system. Got another (used) system a few weeks ago but not sure I want a used balance board because I know how grody mine was and it was my own grime LOL
Thank you, Kitkat!Quote:

I'd put up a ticker for TTC but DH and I still can't decide whether we are going to try in April or May!
I decided to set it up for end of April!
kitbedit, sedentary does sway pink. Welcome & GL!
mommymachine, I love your cute little ticker! I think I'll go make one too. :)
Oooh I like the lilypie tickers better...
I'm swaying :DS: end of Feb. or beginning of March:)
I thought I was the only on swaying boy, LOL!
Love the tickers ladies!!
Ashforboy, I'm also obsessed with everything since it will be my last child as well.
I'm also concerned that we will TTC boy early spring, even though my first DD was conceived in the summer and the second DD in the fall.
Let's hope we all will get what we want:)
Sc1411- yay, I'm glad your going blue too!! & I bet we will get it �� I guess you have already started the diet? That's crazy that we conceived our girls around the same time b/c my oldest was concieved in September, which is basically summer!!! My other in fall ☺️ Have you started exercising? Are you going to use pressed?
Do people here think TTC in a certain month sways better for a particular gender ?

Ashforblue, my oldest was conceived last days of August and my second one in October:)
Yes, I'm following the diet already and workout at home with weights 3 times a week; gained 8lb and some muscles.
I bought 3 packs of Preseed, just in case:think:, I have no reasonable explanation why I did that:)
How old are your DDs? Are you following the plan yet?
Hi everyone! I am going to join you here as I have decided to wait a bit after my loss to TTC. I miscarried at 10+3 weeks on December 22- unfortunately I had already done the MaterniT21 testing and the angel was my girl💔 I have been very depressed since then-but I feel like the worst may be over. Right now I am hoping I can delay ovulation into late Feb/March. I am back on the LE diet but not doing the cardio this time. I just can't, and I don't want to lose much more weight either. I am takin vitex, SP and folic acid, and fibre when I remember. I am much more relaxed this time around and as sad as I am to be back swaying I am also excited at the thought of TTC again. I look forward to all of your posts:)

My second was conceived in October too!! I have a 7 and 3 year old!! I haven't started the diet yet, waiting till March since I'm not ttc till May.... I am starting working out though but more trying to lose 10 lbs before March b/c I gain weight really easy!! I'm going to use pressed too, seems to have a lot of success!!
