Help me with my sway

Here's the thread on soy http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...-girl-or-a-boy

We have been having mixed results with l-arg. Some people are having issues with their CM drying up and their O being delayed. Proceed with caution and if it affects you badly, no worries, just give it to your husband.

You need to take that level of folic acid ALL month long and also all through the entire first trimester of pregnancy, and then very gradually cut back to the amount in your prenatal.

I think it would be nice if you could lift weights 4-5 times a week. It will only help your sway and also minimize the amount of weight gain that some people have experienced.

Also, be sure to eat breakfast and 2-4 snacks plus 3 meals a day. Protein and carbs at every meal.

8-48 hours afte rfirst pos opk with average of 36 hours. DTD 12 hours after first positive opk if you want to do just one attempt. If you want to do two attempts, DTD the day of your positive and then again sometime the next day. DTD only twice in a row, esp. when separated by several hours, will not sway pink for you - pink swayers have to do frequent BD every day for 7-10 days for it to sway pink.

It takes 4 hours for even the fastest sperm to capacitate and it cannot fertilize an egg before that happens. most sperm take longer, and they go in waves so some are always capacitating so at any point if an egg shows up, there will be somebody there and capacitated to fertilize it.

thanks a lot atomic. I have one mre question- does DHEA sway blue and how do you take it. I have decided to drop l-arginine from my sway. I dont want to offset my cycle too much. also can I take the gelatin capsles instead of the packets?

I just read the essay on soy and it said not to take soy with epo. so should i take the soy first and then the epo?

Take the EPO during the months you are not making your attempt, then drop the EPO the month you're going to use the soy.

Personally for a boy I think EPO is 1000 times better than soy.

Yes, you can take gelatine caps but you have to take a LOT to equal the amount in the packet and it's costly.

DHEA does sway blue. Follow the directions on the bottle and start with the smallest amount possible which I think is 25 mg.

Don't take it unless you are in your very late 30's-40's tho because you don't need it and it can mess you up by making too much testosterone which will interfere with conception.

Thanks for advise. AF started on d 22nd and I just want to be sure I get everything right. Tried d gelatin packet and I almost gagged and that doesn't happen to me very often. I don't think I can make myself take that 3x a day. D gelatin I got contains 1300mg a capsule and I am taking 10 capsules a day. I don't know if that's enough and that's why I was thinking of adding a low dose DHEA to it. I'm just 30. Do u know how much gelatin is contained in a packet? I want to get all this right but I think I'm already going into a panic mode. I think I ovulate 16cd- 20cd.

If you are 30, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you take DHEA. You already make enough all on your own. It is not safe for you and may harm your odds of conception.

Gelatin is not a prereq for conceiving a boy - if you're taking some via capsules, then that's enough (sounds like you're taking plenty BTW!!) You can also EAT the gelatin by making it into tasty Jello squares (if you use a lot of gelatin, the squares will be stiffer and contain more gelatin.)

Thanks atomic. O came a little earlier than I anticipated this month probably because of the soy. Got a +opk this morning, only caught it because i decided to do the opks everyday after AF since I still had loads of the internet cheapies. Plan to dtd tonight and hope what I did would be enough. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying.
