Have 2 Princes, Now Seeking ONE ~*Princess*~Needing Immediate Advice On Cal, Mag, Cranberry Supps et

Hi girls, I have 6 boys and have hubby onboard for one last try, we are new to this too!!!! We never did a sway before so it would be so brill if it happened for us. He has a very high sperm count, we had a sperm count done a few years ago and the doctor gasped when to read it, this will not help as high sperm count=boys. I tested his sperm for pH, it is high at 9... to lower it he has started to take cranberry pills and caffeine free diet coke, is that right???
I have to get my diet in order, I have a very boy orientated diet, I am in the UK and would love to find someone on here that has a grasp of the diet and tell me what british foods are good to eat.......
GL girls hope this is our year....

just after noticing rainbow flower is UK based, hope we can help each other...........

I think licorice root can help a man lower his T levels (and thus sperm count)? your DH might need to release and discard a couple of times before each attempt

yes, I'm in the UK - there's quite a few of us UK ladies on here! :D

;)I saw it at the store today! So I need to go back for it. But I did pick up B-6 and B-50 complex vitamins. So now I have coming: Sylk, Vitex, & a - Ion Bracelet. I don't think I will TTC next month though, even though it's my 4th yr wedding anniversary lol, since I'm not doing the diet or any of the other stuff yet it's prob not a good idea huh! LOL I am getting excited though. Now I just need to look into what to eat. yAy....NOT! bahaha;) I am.. sO...:running::fx::pray: ing for you!!!! I hope you get that BFP!!!!!! Did you post your sway so I can check it out?

Hi Peb, ~*Welcome*~wOw, you guys are brave and your hubby is SWEET!!! I hope you are able to get your successful girl sway on as well! That diet will definitely be the hardest thing to suffer through!!!! Do no drink caffeine at all! My town just had a news story on this morning's news. It lowers estrogen in white women.**GL to you too hon! :)** ~Butterfly~

:celebrate::celebrate::celebrate::bighug: !*~*ConGrAtZ RAINBOW*~*! Sweet lady your BFP is WELL deserved!!!!!! :holysheep::pregnant::tissue::running: YAY!!!!!!!! :D

Hi and welcome Butterfly! So glad you found us!

Here are my threads about timing http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...od-timing.html I don't happen to believe in timing, the first thread tells you why and the second is the how-to. I personally don't support O+12 at all and if you have to do timing, cutoff is better in my opinion (even tho i don't think it sways and have several opposites!!)http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...ry-o-12-a.html (this is a 3-parter, read all three.)

Cranberry is here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...echniques.html

Here is the series of threads about calcium - it's a more complex issue than it seems at first (read all three and the comments afterwards are helpful too) http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...roversial.html This thread talks about diet and the various options. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...s-swaying.html and you might find this one helpful http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...-ttc-pink.html Also, my complete Low-Everything Diet is available in the Dream Members section along with recipes and meal guides.

Here is the thread about the time of year and swaying. Your info is not correct (that's what they say on another site, but the science indicates something different.) http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...s-swaying.html

You can sway with hypothyroid but you MUST NOT do soy. Very very dangerous for you.

peb I will give you more pointers in your plan, but wanted to reiterate that cran, aspartame, licorice root are good for lowering semen pH and also sperm count. He can also take hot baths and ride a bicycle a lot to help lower his sperm numbers.

I messaged you with a basic diet plan this am.

Re: temps and gender ratio, I have boys conceived in the heat of balmy summers.

Some things are just coincidence and DO NOT sway in any way.

I have one study that indicates warmer temps = more boys conceived in cattle.

I think that we were in that 8 hr window you are talking about.

I found a REALLY good sway plan that was successful
Her plan included abstinence so I'm not sure if it would work for us or not. It's sounds like it might?
You can find her here, I hope I don't offend anyone by posting a link. I just figure the more help we can get the better, no matter where it comes from.
UPDATE - it's a Girl!!! - My Girl Sway - In-Gender.com
Well, I've been TTC since last June when my first post partum period returned from DS #2
So no birth control, but DS #2 is still very attached to "the boobie". I was just trying to let go and let God take over but trying to use OPKS for the timing thing.
My second DS was conceived breastfeeding BUT DS #1 was only breastfeeding like once a day. So when ovulation came DS #1 even breastfed 4 hrs before O.
DS #2 hardly had any formula, it's been mostly breastmilk. I feel my O pain and I swear I ovulate almost every month but..
This seems to have stopped me from conceiving period. Although depressing, I feel it's for a reason. My DH has said.. 3 if we can have 3 and I'm done. So I REALLY need this sway to work! I didn't really have a sway plan in place at all though. Just timing and nothing else. So I know and feel that I need to do things to be able to see PINK in this house.
I just need some cooperation from DH to conceive by warming up his buddies before we BD.
I hope all of that makes sense.

She did totally have a girl and she has a MAJOR boy-mom personality. There are a lot worse things you could do than repeat Babydust's sway.

What I am thinking is when it looks like it's getting "pretty dark" but not quite there we would BD. But after Jan's cycle.. I had a + on a Sat and Sun and then by Monday night it was - .. I think I Oed after all of Friday's spermies were perished. lol So I really need to decide when to BD. I'd still like to shoot for 2 days prior to O. I trust that more than 3 days.
However I read something and now I'm confused. Two ladies on that site used abstinence and one said that she put her hubby's "sample" under the microscope and she said that when he abstained it was mostly X sperm, but when he went off often it was mostly Y sperm. Then I read on this site somewhere that someone posted that there is no outward difference in X and Y sperm which rocks the Shettles method to the core.
LOL man, I guess I just need to trust abstaining since we haven't tried that yet!

Are you currently TTC even while Bfing? It's nice to have that in common with someone here so I don't feel alone.
My periods are weird too. Two months in a row they will fall on the same day then the third month they will move a few days forward or back but are the same for 2 months in a row. It's crazy! I started Oing around cd 16 but in Jan it seems I oed on cd 20 or 21. I've never ovulated so late!
Do you use regular OPKS or do you use a monitor like Ovacue?
Which would you recommend the most?
I have never tried to temp either but I think I need to start doing that too..
So many things to do. So little time! LOL I'm CD 5 right now. I probably shouldn't attempt to conceive yet until I have my sway plan in place!
My chinese fertility calendar says to avoid Feb and March because I'll end up with boys. LOL

There is NO WAY to tell X from Y sperm under a microscope. We have confirmed this fact with several lab techs and RE's. The girls on IG see what they want to see when they look under the scope and you can put no stock into what they say about that. It is wishful thinking. I'm sorry.

The study that they originally got that idea from used a very high tech computer program to differentiate the way the sperm swam - you cannot do that with a naked eye - and that study has not been confirmed in human sperm or corroborated in any way.

Abstaining DOES SWAY even tho not in the way that Shettles claimed. Go with abstain!!
