How old?? Can you link me to them??
I ate GOBS of peanut butter when I got my boys. I've always recommended it for blue. The thing is that the type of fat taht is in peanut butter, when eaten to excess, has been shown in some studies to possibly sway pink. But that is ONLY when you eat a LOT of that kind of fat with no other kinds of fat to kind of "fight it off" LOL. So peanut butter is fine as a part of an otherwise blue friendly diet, but I would NOT eat it morning, noon, and night, keep to 1-2 servings a day.
Phew . That is good to know. I have been eating it for breakfast only.Quote:

Guess this month is not our lucky month. I noticed that I am having more cramps than usual before period . Hope that is normal
That's no big deal at all. Fine in a blue sway.
If it was bright red flow then yes count that day as CD 1 (even at 7 pm). If it was just a little spotting call it the next day.
Lots of people report different symptoms with their period - totally normal!
Btw does full fat Greek yogurt sway blue. I am having this with oats, almonds, walnuts, kiwi/blueberries and cacao powder after my workout. I run/walk almost every alternate dayQuote:

I have been eating way way more than I used to. Haha. Hope I am doing the sway right
Ff Greek yogurt is good for blue! I think yogurt is better than milk anyways due to the fermentation process (like’ cheese), it allows’ a better and more steady release of the sugars. Or something along those lines, am soooo not a scientific person, sorry lol). Plus loaded with protein so Id say go for it, the fruit and nuts added would make it very nutritious overall ;)
Good luck from a former (and future) blue swayer :)
Full fat yogurt is fine for a blue sway. I ate TONS of full fat yogurt when I got my 3rd boy.
Everything you're eating sounds great for blue. Keep up the good work!
I have been trying for three months now and still no luck.. getting a bit demotivated :(
Should I increase the BD? We normally BD on CD 10, 11, 12 (positive OPK and normally ovulate on CD12,13 based on BBT temp and OPK) and then hb will run out of stamina and not BD anymore :(
Also been stalking the posts here and ppl have luck with Mucinex, should i try the same? getting desperate here,
Yes sure you can try guaifenesin (Mucinex or similar brand)
If hubby is running out of steam we need to focus our attempts later. The CD 10 and 11 attempts aren't getting you anything in that case. If you're typically getting positive OPK like CD 12, then have attempt that night, again the next morning, and then the following night (so two on CD 13) or CD 12 (day of pos opk) CD 13 (probl ovulation) CD 14 (in case of delayed ovualtion) But DON"T use the Cycle Days to determine when to attempt. Use the OPK if they work for you - don't have useless attempts prior, either have unprotected sex or hubby release every 4 days (96 hours) and then have those 3-4 attempts in the fertile window instead of starting before.
Thanks for responding. Are there any side effects when taking guaifenesin? I do have watery cm during fertile period. And when should I take it ?Quote:

And what's the best way and time to test for ovulation using strip opks. I ran out of the CB digital.
