I can understand that. But what if you're on a 1200-1500 calorie/day diet? (which is pretty constricting for me - I'm sure I'm normally a 2000-2500calorie/day person) What would you do? I'll lose 2-4lbs/week if I stick to it. I'm still going to do cranberry and vitex for sure. I have the mag & calcium but not taking them. Still considering the calcium because I don't feel I get enough and it seems more calcium sways girl?Quote:

Unfortunately my low calorie diet is still more boy friendly foods. I can do the low cal but sticking to the girl only list will about do me in. And now I'm so indecisive to think I might not sway at all and just have another boy, lol. I would like to still lose about 10lbs before summer though regardless so I guess if I lose weight it's technically still swaying girl!?
I ~personally~ believe the low cal is more important than the minerals by a factor of a billion times and I am writing a diet for people just like you. If you are losing weight on a low cal diet YOU ARE SWAYING and don't let anyone tell you any different (not even me)!!! If you cut back on protein and fat, more's the better. Good luck.
Thank You Atomic! You are making me feel more successful with my sway. I actually am down about nine pounds and I am nearing the end of week two so the diet thing is going well...I think I needed to hear this was a good sway even though I am not using lime tampons or Aci-jel....that's the one that really gets me the Aci-jel it sounds so successful...but I think it has to do with my faith...I don't know I can only do what I am comfortable with...and I am pretty sure God is sick of hearing my out loud praying too! :) Thanks again!
I am not full force in the girl diet... I am still nursing and he shows no signs of wanting to stop. I am eating very little sodium and potassium, no natural sugars, and only the protein needed for a nursing mom. I eat 2 meals and 1-2 small snacks a day. I replaced my juice and normal soda with diet soda and crystal light. I am taking a lot of supps/herbs, the girl sway ones. I have lost weight and want to loose more.
Hello Everyone!! Back from holidays and gained 4 pounds!!! ACK! I'll be back on my diet hardcore tomorrow and hoping to TTC in July. Not that you guys really need to know or anything but I GOT MY FIRST PP Period!!!! Yippee!!! I had some spotting about 5 weeks ago and I wrote it down on my calendar...I then started taking vitex on that day(for 2 weeks), started using opk's about 8 days after that spotting and on cycle day 22 and 23 I got a positive opk! I then got my first real cycle about 12 days later:) Going on day 6 of yuckiness now but thankful that I ovulated. I'm hoping to ovulate later again, like CD 20+, because I would love to TTC an April baby which means a mid July conception.... Anyway, I'm starting my girl diet(not hardcore) tomorrow and also beginning my workouts again. I'm hoping to lose 10-15lbs before we TTC.... FX'd
Talk to you guys later!!
I'm a lazy swayer too!
I have lost about 30 lbs since January (maintaing for the last 3 months), haven't had breakfast in 5 months, been on calcium/mag for 5 months, way low sodium and potasium, low fat and sugar diet, trying to add some dairy, but not really on the girl diet, lots of Crystal Light the week before O, doing some neg ion stuff, avoiding the Big O as much as possible, dtd frequently since all of my boys were conceived dtd every 3 days, always missionary.
I'm not charting at all. I always get + OPKs no matter what so I dont trust them. Going by CM and O pain. Not checking my PH either.
We'll see how it goes!
More praying, less swaying! ;)
I think I'm beginning to fall into this category - the more I read the more I drop from my sway!
I'm left with:
Sticking to the low-everything diet. This is the major factor as far as I can see and I'm delaying my sway (was going to do July, now thinking of August) to get to as low a weight as I can. I want to lose 28lb.
Taking just Vitex and folic acid. I'll take Chitosan before meals once I'm reassured DS3 (still BFing once a day) is ok with shellfish.
On the days of our attempts I'll take a baby aspirin and an antihistimine - I'll see if DH will take an aspirin too. I'll also use a blob of Rephresh each morning - possibly some Acijel an hour before but I need to experiment with that.
In the month of our attempt DH will see to himself during AF, then we'll DTD for 3 or 4 days with a spermicide condom then we'll DTD for real every day until I get a +OPK. DH wears tight boxers and will have a bath before each attempt.
That is all :D
You "Lazy Swayers" aren't lazy at all!!!Quote:

Just pointing out that you guys are really swaying hard, don't sell yourself short!!)
