Oh and I'm still on the fence if DH should be taking LR and OLE. Just ordered the liquid form of OLE the other night. DH is less than thrilled but is willing to do it. A little concerned about how the LR will affect him.. but also keep wondering because of the results it gets. He's 34 (will be 35 in July) and is healthy; but heart conditions do run in his family. He's never been tested for sperm count/testosterone levels - should we look into that before he possibly uses LR?
Rosie, I've been nauseous all morning!Quote:

He has been taking OLE for a month already and will probably continue that forever since he loves it so much.
I ended up getting the OLE pills since hubby will not even entertain the thought of taking liquid version; hope it works just the same
And eveb though our attempt isn't unitl next month, I had him start LR this month AF -O.

What brand of LR did you get? I'm looking on amazon and am overwhelmed.
I think ours is called naturesway or something like that??
Odd- better OLE pills than nothing!
Just bought some, thanks!! DH is going to love this too...:mad:
Got nature's way LR for hubby as well fron wholefoods.
Rosie, hope u r right girl :-)

omg ladies!! My Dh just told me he is willing to take up long distance running for the sway if I want him to!. That is running at least 4 miles a day! He is crazy but wow do I love him for it! Now I just wonder if he has to run everyday for just a few days a week.
Rosie, that's great! Maybe I can convince DH to take up running again.. he used to run 3-4 miles/day before DS came along...then it all went down the drain. Lol. For some reason it didn't hit me that exercise for DH would help our sway. Maybe I can convince him to be responsible for that part :running:
Rosie85 what a sweet husband you have! Just one thing though I got a plan from Atomic and she states in it that my dh's weight must remain the same during our sway He must not lose or put on weight. Now I'm not sure if it just applies to my dh but it might be no harm to check and make sure it's ok for your sway. Just in xase your dh loses any weight during his running.
daisy- Not sure I could have my Dh maintain a weight no matter what. He has the strangest metabolism ever and is constantly bouncing up and down 5 pounds.
Thanks Mamer! I will let Dh decide if he can handle running almost everyday of the week. I doubt he wants to go back to his military lifestyle of running 12 miles a day, he said 4 or 5 would be more pleasant.
I wish the next two months weren't the worst ones for conceiving possible for us, aunt flo showed and I am in so much pain, as always. Endometriosis....sucks.
wow that sounds like an interesting study. There is so much info out there for swaying my mind is boggled at times! If your dhs are used to running then you should definitely get them pounding the roads again. Every bit that helps! Rosie you poor thing I feel your pain I had mine last week Plenty of chocolate and solpadeine Works wonders for me!
Rosie, so sorry to hear you are in pain...
Daisy, my mind is a bit boggled right now too. I think i'm going to buy a plan from atomic. This is too stressful to figure out on my own!
I was thinking of starting a new thread to record what I'm eating. Would any of you ladies be interested in that? I was thinking it would help me stay on track and could help each other out!
Thanks ladies...I never had issues with pain like this until after Ds3 was born. I have an itching suspicion it has to do with the huge chunk of placenta that came out at home 6 days after birth.
Daisy what is solpadeine?
Dreaming- I know there was a January thread for what people were eating but I haven't seen one for February so go ahead and start one!
dreamingofpink I would highly recommend buying a plan. I did and it takes the guess work out of everything. It tells you what supplements you should be taking and dh, details about your attempt and lots of info re. diet etc. It's well worth it. It's great to have a forum for everyone at your stage in your sway and I think a thread re food would be super. It would be great help I think.
Rosie Sorry I live in Ireland and I just assumed every country has solpadeine! It's a painkiller with codeine in it It's a god send for me every time I have af! Sounds like you had a rough time after the birth of ds3. You poor thing. That sounds awful. Your body is probably still only getting back to normal. Hope you feel better soon.
Hi Daisy, I'm going to! I also found the thread for January 2014 to record what we are eating. Will just add to that one :highfive:
Hi all! I'll be ttc May/June. :wave:
Welcome! Our group is getting bigger by the day Yay!!!

Thank you! Excited to be going you all!
Welcome marriedmom!
Welcome more swayers!! Do we still not have any boy swayers in here?? I am shocked! Looks like lots of pink headed toward us in early 2015 :)
Rosie....you know what is interesting, I had the same thing happen after my little one was born. Had to go back to the doc after a week and a half (with piece in hand) because I lost a big chunk of placenta that was part of my abruption (prolly the part that pulled away) and they checked to make sure everything was out. BUT, I have some awful, painful, heavy periods now. I don't know if it's related, since I had somewhat heavy periods before kids and haven't had many since I conceived my first son in Feb 2009. I had 5 or so between my first and second and not a single one between my second and third. So my memory might be blocking out how painful they were back then. But this is my 4th since baby and they are killing me. I am down for at least a couple days when they first start. Weird. Did your doc check to make sure all was fine after you lost the chunk of retained placenta? (Sorry you are in pain, mine is here right now too).
hotdogz- my periods are crazy heavy now too and full of clots. I had gone into the ER with pain about 2 weeks after he was born and they did a scan and said it looked like everything was out. I showed them the picture of the chunk that fell out but they tried to deny it was placenta. I am worried still something is wrong and I won't be able to get pregnant or it will cause a miscarriage or other issues with the baby..maybe I am just worrying for no reason, I dunno.
I exercised through the pain last night and guess what! NO pain today at all. I mean I heard exercise could help with the pain but omg it is just gone. normally the majority of the pain is in my intestines and rectum..if I have any bits of gas go through I just want to die.
I'm new here, planning to sway girl in April or May. I just started the diet and exercising in the past few days and I am struggling. I am a Personal Trainer so eat the complete opposite of the girl diet!
hotdogz and rosie, that's truly awful what you guys went through. Can only imagine how difficult that was and with a newborn to look aftet at the same time. Glad exercise is working for you rosie. I've decided to go down the no exercise route. I normally walk several times a week but as my attempt is in 8 weeks I'm afraid I won't have enough time for my T levels to get used to the more extreme cardio exercise and I could end up swaying blue! So it's a couch life for me which is hard to get used to! Especially as my third meal yesterday was a giant bag of maltesers (500 cals!!!!) I stayed low in cals all day so I could fit them in to my limits ha!
Welcome fitblonde. Yep I think our whole group is swaying pink. Fingers crossed for everyone. :)

Hi ladies, I've just ventured upon this site. Hoping for some advice and support to help my gender dream
When are you planning on trying? End of May onwards. Stopping in late September if no bfp. Probably not resume trying till 2015
Have you started to sway yet? Not presently due to AF following IUD removal but hoping from Monday to start.
Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own? Again not presently, just stumbled into this so hoping to be clued up by end of February to give a good 3 months before trying.
Which gender are you hoping for? :bluesperm: :ttcboy: :DS:
Any concerns you have currently? That I'll get impatient or bored or I'll be disappointed with another girl.
^^Big welcome!! We needed some blue swayers around here :)
It's a bit overwhelming at first on this site, buts its got tons and tons of great info. Poke around a while and let it start settling in and you'll certainly not be bored :D It's some interesting stuff. I'm in love with having this knowledge, so much that I've started to evaluate what I think people will have in real life based on the info. Lol.
Thanks hotdogz, I did some reading into Atomics threads and feel a bit more clued up. Going to give the :ttcgirl: forums a read and see if it makes sense though tbh so far diet wise, it could explain why we have 2 girls:oops:. Not that I'd change that for anything
Thank you! Btw your youngest ds and I have the same b-day! 4/9 :happy:Quote:

Quick question.... So will your first attempt be in April, or is that when you are starting your diet and etc?
April will be our first attempt. I have been dieting and such since January 1st.
Hey ladies! I had a small victory last night. I got some pants on and buttoned that I couldn't even come close to doing so two weeks ago. I am excited but also slightly confused. I really haven't lost more than 2-3 lbs since then but I am obviously losing inches. Does that mean I am gaining in muscle and I am increasing my testosterone then??!! I don't start exercising everyday until March. Right now I am just doing every other day.
Hi everyone
We have decided to start trying in April, I am so excited!
We will be trying to sway pink but I'm sure we will end up with another blue bundle of joy
I've just started the diet but I've already lost 7lbs since the start of the year so I hope that will help
I will be keeping my fingers crossed for all of you:hug2:
Welcome Lucky!! Is this your first sway?
Thanks for the welcome Rosie :0)
It will be my first gd sway, we were going to try last year but life got in the way and we did attempt a sway with no.5 but I messed the timings etc up so it ended up being a pretty lame attempt!
Having said that after reading everything on here it does seem like I inadvertently swayed with my others (things like pre-seed etc and I got my only girl the only time I lost a fair bit of weight)
Welcome lucky:-)

Hilarious bit of info..my hubby who has super low libido was hesitating in taking OLE &LR..but I talked him into it by exaggerating the benefits lol..
He thinks LR kinda works as Viagra and now wants to DTD everyday. .lol...oh tge mibd tricks :-)

That gives me hope lucky! This will be my only pregnancy where I will have lost weight before getting pregnant. I don't get to be lucky like you and have over 6 kiddos! DH is cutting me off :tissue:
