Back again after successful Boy Sway! Time for a girl what are you eating? Other questions!

Here we go again :) This will be cycle 3 for us trying.

Currently cd 5 of a usually 28 day cycle.

This month we will still try the every 72hr until after 0.

I am still trying to cardio & walk as much as i can.
Eating 2-3 meals a day no snacking- drinking black coffee 1-2 a day maybe 3 bud decaf- when i have alcohol i do it with supper about 5x week 1-2 drinks. going for the 60fat 60pro 1800 cal still breastfeeding 1x day.

I am really trying to get my water intake up this month too to help overall and for my old eggs LOL I am almost 42. I really don't drink much at all of anything.

QUESTION ATOMIC
Should I start taking CoQ10 again or does that sway? I know you always say not to worry too much about age but I really think my age is "geriatric" LOL now what is your opinion on when to be more concerned due to age.
Any other suggestions.

We were going to wait last month and this month because we were thinking of traveling and these months wouldn't be ideal but we thought lets just go for it. Time is not on our hands. But we are 100% happy with our little boy who is almost 9 months so if it doesn't happen we still feel blessed.

Next month we will possibly do the every 72 plus 1 attempt at positive OPK.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Don't get too hung up on the water. Drink to your level of thirst. Inundating yourself with liquids you don't want and don't need can be bad too because you're washing electrolytes from your system. The "drink lots of water" thing is a myth, based on very little, very poor quality science (basically an old textbook with no science behind it) https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/he...ion/water-myth

coq10 doesn't hurt and may help (although it is VERY expensive and is not a magic bullet, to be sure.) If you can, 200 mg a day is great. If you can't, I would just let it go and not worry about it. Your call.

I'm really glad you guys didn't skip a month - while you absolutely do still have every chance at still being fertile (the fact that you just conceived and had a baby easily indicates that your fertility is only slowly declining and is ~probably~ still good) you're right that time isn't our friend and it's best for you to conceive sooner rather than later. FXFXFXFXFX!!!

Thank you so much!

Oh no I don't plan on drinking too much water. But in a day i drink maybe 1 glass sometimes none and 2-3 coffee and an a glass of wine or 2. So I just want to try get at least 4-8 cups in probably less than the amount i should have but i have to start someplace :)

Oh good, I have some people who drink an insane amount of water based on no science whatsoever and it can end up causing issues if their electrolytes get wacky.

Treens, we are so close..I’m cycle day 8! So glad we are on this journey together. I’m the same with water too, I’ll sometimes go all day and have to remind myself to drink water lol. You’re doing so well, lots of baby dust to you!!

Yes is is so nice to have someone! Drinking is 100% hard for me. What are your plans this month girlboyohboy?

The original plan was to do every 72 hours, but my DH is getting irritated with the “rules and scheduling” so I don’t really know. I’m going to try to stick to it the best we can while still maintaining peace. He just wants to do it every night or when we feel like it, so this is stressing him out. One good thing is that I do feel much more relaxed this cycle.

I just don't tell my husband too much I just do my best to "convince" him on the days I want to be bedding LOL Sometimes its a struggle because i am tired but I still try to do the work. He never says no if I try to be all sexy ahhahahah

GBOB sometimes you have to just roll with that. My husband would NOT in a zillion years go along with any scheduling of BD for any of our kids - when we were trying, we were trying, and that was THAT. But both with my failed Shettles opposite, AND with my successful sway for my DD, we ended up BD in the pattern that was what I wanted (cutoff with the Shettles opposite, and one attempt with DD) without any arguments or stress between the two of us. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Thanks Ladies!!
My daughter and I have been battling a stomach bug the past few days, and my husband refuses to get near me as to not catch it. So luck might be on my side with only getting one attempt in LOL..hopefully before I Ovulate.

I like your way Treens hahah

Hi ladies! CD1 for me today. This will be our 5th month trying!
I think we will do the e4days plus 1 this cycle. An April baby would be wonderful :) My little guys is 10.5 months now I would love for him to have a healthy little sister or brother :)

Still trying to sway girl fasting, no snacking, cardio, no breakfast, coffee, alcohol, slowly still loosing or staying the same weight. I got clearblue ovulations sticks to try this month.

How are all you ladies doing?

Good luck Treens!! 💗

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say we have our BFT at month 5 of trying :)) I am Crossing my fingers for our healthy little girl or what ever gender we are getting. Currently 4 weeks 1 day. We got faint positive on CD 24 has been getting darker every day.

Sneaking in to here to say congrats Treens!!! Wishing the happiest healthiest pregnancy - ooh the excitement of discovering a new babe is on the way :) :) have ALLLLL my pink dust!

Thank you so much LMSM you can have all my boy dust :)))

Thank you Girlboyohboy wishing for your healthy boo soon!

oh gosh that's fantastic news Treens!!!

Hello ladies, I hope you are all doing well.

We had a loss of a little girl at 12 weeks 5 days.

So our sway did work

We are going to regroup and try again in January.

I am wondering if vitamin D, Fish oil and CoQ10 sway much. Just being 42 I want to have healthy eggs. Over all I just want a healthy baby.

Treens, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you are feeling physically ok and on the path to healing. Take the time it takes...
It is very encouraging that you did manage to sway successfully, and while I totally understand that a healthy baby is obviously the 1st priority, I wish you the little girl you were hoping for.
Big hugs xx

Thank you for your kind words.

I was pretty happy to find out it was a girl (sway wize) i felt it was so strongly but we weren't going to find out till she was born. Im glad i got the nipt so we were able to find out.

Hope you are doing well!

Treens I’m so sorry to hear about this.

Heavenly Father we lift up this mom and pray you give her comfort and peace. We know her daughter is safely in the arms of our Saviour, Jesus. We pray for a healthy baby girl to be in this mothers arms in Your Will, Amen.

Hugs dear momma

Thank you! I apreciate your prayer :))

Oh gosh I'm so terribly sorry to hear this! I'm absolutely heartbroken for you. Did the doctors have any insight into why it happened? Did you do any testing? The reason I ask is that it's unusual (as I'm sure you've probably heard more than you cared to recently, I'm sorry) to have a loss at that point in time, so I want to be sure they've ruled out things like thyroid issues, which can be fixed. Given your age I am worried they might try to just write this off as chromosomal without any additional testing, and since the pregnancy went as long as it did it might not BE chromosomal, and I want to be sure you're fully taken care of.

Is there a particular reason why you're not trying again till January? (if this is a personal reason just say "it's personal", I simply am trying to rule out you waiting when you do not need to wait in terms of your sway - you do NOT need to go back onto diet the full amount of time if that's what you were thinking) You'd definitely need to wait one cycle but I can see you trying in December or even November if your cycle returns fast.

Let's have you add in 200 mg coq10 (wean off this at BFP) and up to 2000 mcg folate, all thru the first trimester, then at that point gradually wean off by spacing doses further and further out till down to the amount in your prenatal.

While I don't find that Vitamin D really helps prevent losses except in those who are very deficient, if you're concerned you can add in 400 mg D daily for the next 6 weeks, then go to 3x a week maintenance dose.

Fish oil is a gray area for me. To be honest I don't think it helps egg quality, and larger doses have caused bleeding issues that can be harmful to pregnancies (many of the subchorionic hemorrhages I've seen were in women taking fish oil, in some cases ending the pregnancy). If you feel you need it, I would suggest no more than 250 daily and if you notice any signs of bleeding or bruising, heavier periods, or spotting then go to every other day on that. Do NOT increase dose once you get pregnant, either. And wait to start this till your bleeding from the loss is finished.

Another thing we could add is myoinositol. I would suggest 1000 mg from AF-O and then 500 (or 1000 mg every other day) from O-AF. At BFP you can gradually wean off by spacing doses further and further out till down to one per week, then you can drop it. It may help with egg quality and with your sway as well.

Thank you so much Atomic! I have PM'ed you.

For the Myoinositol would this be it? I will look into it more.

https://www.amazon.ca/Organika-Inosi...00J388UU2?th=1

That is nine grams (so, 9000 mg) of myoinositol. I would have you take less than that.

Treens 😭 I am so sorry for this devastating loss. My heart is broken for you. Thinking about you and your loved ones.

1 month after our loss

CD 1 for me

I was sure I would start my period today or tomorrow because I was sure I ovulated 2 weeks ago and have a pretty normal 28 dayish cycle usualy. so I hope I can know this month too. We will try this cycle. Hopping for a healthy baby :))

We're all hoping that for you Treens!!!!

Sending you all the sticky, healthy baby dust Treens! bonus if you can grab some of my pink dust too ;)

Hoping for your dreams to come true this cycle Treens!!

thank you so much! Sending love to you :))

I have had 2 periods since our loss. both have been 30 days. The first one i missed seeing ovulation on our cheep tests. This last one I got the clear blue we got flash smile for 2 days then solid smile on CD 12. So I would assume ovulation CD 13. Would that have been correct if I still had a 30 day cycle?

Thank you for your help :) Happy New Year to all!

Probably not, unless you had a very early loss. Longer than 14 day LP, while possible, are really not very common at all. It's by far more likely to have ovulated a little later than you thought. The Clearblue probably detected a surge, but your body decided not to ovulate with that surge. The downsides of the Clearblues is that once you get the 2 smileys, the monitors just sort of assume "ok ovulation has occurred" but you can have another surge and then ovulate a few days after that.

Edited to add - for some reason I read that as a 33 day cycle the first time! I'm keeping my above answer intact for your future reference, but I think it's also possible you ovulated late CD 14 into CD 15, then had a slightly longer than normal LP (14ish days, but the longer edge of that). Either option is possible with a 30 day cycle - but not a 33 day one!

Thank you so much Attomic!

Hello all!
Just wanted to do a little post.

Our little girl would have arrived next week, makes me sad to think how time has passed so fast. I think about how we would have felt if we were waiting for her arrival and preparing for her. She will never be forgotten :)

We are on cycle #6 of trying again. I have gotten shorter cycles the last few months. Maybe because I have been so sick all the time since January high fever for a week ending in chest infection, Feb. strep throat, March hand foot and mouth (felt worse than strep throat that i had the 3 weeks before) ontop of getting Covid right after. My body is catching everything this year and I never get sick LOL I am on the mend though now.

CD 11 for me I got flashy smile today we bedded last night and will tonight and tomorrow. Then my husband leaves for 4 days and will bed when he is back again. At this point I would love a Christmas baby :))

Hope you are all doing well :)

It’s so normal to be sad, especially around the DD of the baby that you lost.
I always have a pang of hurt, 8 years on - it’s fleeting but it’s there.
You are such a resilient and happy person xx
Definitely sounds like you’ve had quite the bit of illness you poor thing - once you’ve been really sick it can be hard to get on top of it because your immunity is low ! Hopefully with spring now there in the northern hemisphere, you can get a break and not be sick anymore … fingers crossed this is THE cycle for you guys :)

Thank you LMSM your kind words mean so much :))

Wishing you all the best for your bundle of blue, you must be so excited to really start planning and implementing your sway. How have you been feeling?

Thanks! I am... but also completely terrified haha
I am down with a cold (thanks two of my daughters for sharing) so am glad am not TTC yet but other than that feeling much better than a month ago :)

Oh gosh Treens, my condolences, that is heartbreaking. (((((hugs)))))

Sorry about your little girl treens. But glad you are getting back at swaying again. You are actually lucky you can try naturally. I am on my egg donation cycle now so in my case it's different.
