4-5 bottles a week?!!!! Yes I thought it helped dry CM? Probably also helps to lower your fertility a bit as it can't be great for you to drink every day. I'm having a glass of white wine or a gin and tonic most days, sometimes 2. I think vodka def have less cals than wine! So is it bad to have more than one or 2? Surely be ok if still within your limits?
Yep. 4-5 bottles and regularly goes out on girls nights out and binge drinks too. Tbh I think she has a drink problem.
I'm not sure about it drying up cm, I thought it overall decreases fertility which in turn dries up cm? I'm not sure hopefully someone can chip in. I never drank at all for years and years when conceiving the boys so this little addition has been quite good for me.
Wine has more calories but also has additives and sometimes sugar. In some brands anyway. I'm not a vodka lover (I'd prefer wine) but it fits in with my personal limits so I think it's fine at the moment for me. A whole bottle has lasted me over 6 weeks and counting now. And it was just a cheap bottle for like £7. So a cheap sway tatic.
Short- term I don't think it will hurt, long-term I don't know. Hopefully I won't have to find out! Lol. A lot of people drink in the evenings, but it would be one of the first things I drop, if I had too x
No one knows why alcohol sways, it's one of those things we simply don't know.
we don't know what types are best if any. Have what you prefer.
I quite like a glass of wine in the evening, but maybe only a couple days a week. So, is it ok to be drinking more than one or 2 every so often?
I have asked Atomic and it is ok, alcohol is good for a girl sway. So it's not a cheat if you have a night out and have a few to drink. I guess it's more the calorie content in terms of trying to lose weight. How is everyone doing? It's getting close for some one you now! I've just had one of my shortest cycles ever at 30 days so that has taken me by surprise and brought everything forward a little. Got this one cycle to try and track ovulation.
Wow I've missed a lot lately! And I must say
Ttc2015 don't listen to people.. What they think and how they live their life has no bearing on yours or how you should feel. I struggle with that daily. /: I constantly have to listen to my mother in law say the same things. And I also constantly feel negatively towards my sister in law. She had a girl first. Then got pregnant again why I was pregnant with DD and of course they're having the boy I hope for some day. Not only did they get the first grand baby, but they also got the first boy too. And I constantly get jealous and angry and bitter over how unfair it is.. But I do EXACTLY what you do! I wouldn't trade my daughter for 5 boys!!! And I scare myself thinking if something every happened to her how horrible I would feel for ever wanting a boy as badly as I do.. :( chin up though! You have great support here cuz we all understand you completely! GD is so hard to grasp for those that have never experienced it.. So we can't expect them to.. But we will always be here for you! :) virtually :p
As far as my diet I'm still struggling.. I went to meet my OTHER new nephew (yes I have two now.. Salt in the wound) but it was so fun but I binged all weekend.. Which is okay for a boy sway.. But I gained 7 lbs!!!! NOT OKAY!!!! So I've been running every day this week.. I know it sways pink, I just cannot handle being this over weight:( and I've been watching my calorie intake. I know there's a sweet spot for swaying blue with calories and exercise.. But I'm so used to LE.. So this is so much harder than I thought it would be!! I constantly battle every day: focus on my weight and body? Or focus on swyaing boy??? What's more important???? I go back and forth daily I swear.. /: anyways, vacation coming soon though!! Cruise for a week end of this month then right into our ttc month!!! :) 5 weeks till we do THEE deed!! :p or deeds.. Haha:) hope you all are doing better than myself with your sways!!
I had a horrible dream last night. I was pregnant and I got my NIPT blood test results and it said the baby was a girl and she had trisomie 13. The doctor said they weren't sure was the trisomie part accurate so they will have to do some more testing. On the other hand I was so happy it was a girl but on the other hand I was devastated that the baby wasn't healthy. When I woke up it felt so real :( Had to tell my DH about it. Maybe I had this dream because few days ago I read on this forum that one lady here had a miscarriage and the baby had trisomie. Our first baby that we lost had trisomie 21 so I guess I'm just super sensitive about these things. Even though I'm praying for a girl all that matters is that baby would be healthy.
Oh 2x I hate those dreams that feel so real. I keep dreaming that we jump the gun and dtd before our sway is ready!!! You are right, what matters most is having a healthy baby.
Thanks Nann. It is so hard at times, but it means a lot to find people who feel the same and are so supportive.
I think our first attempt will be in about 5 weeks. I am a bit worried I'm not losing enough weight.
I will be trying the end of September. I will have been on the LE diet for about 10 weeks by then, have always skipped breakfast and do 60 minutes of cardio about 4-5 times a week. I've gone vegetarian most of the time, occasionally having some meat. I've also tried to to stay under the calorie, fat and protein requirements, but had some days where I go over on one or both. I'm 5'6" and weighed 147 when I started the LE diet. I'm down to about 134, but I conceived my boys at 128 and 135, so I'm still trying to lose a little more weight. I've been on fiber, folic acid, coQ10 and drinking lots of Crystal Light for the aspartame for my supplements. My husband has been taking Oil Leaf extract and licorice root. There are a few other things we will do when its time, like take an antihistamine and try a few of the gels. I feel pretty good about my sway. I'm a little nervous, but excited. I've always wanted four kids, and I'm hoping one of them can be a girl.
Anyone else going to be swaying soon?
