Hi we have had the scan it's a boy
how are you doing, sassy??
Hi ya I have felt quite upset about it today but I can't change it I just have to look forward to his arrival I went a bought him a couple of outfits which made me feel a bit better, and dh husband has agreed to try for dc3 so I'm going to try everything and get the plan from you this time to follow.....
This was my last away after the mmc, would you mind seeing if there was something I could of maybe changed
Dh had abstained for about 10 days due to being away so we dtd on the mine day evening very shallow release no big o and jump and dump and the following afternoon I got a pos opk so we tried once more that evening dh released outside of me before we dtd so I think we were lucky to full pregnant as I didn't think there was any sperm left, he had a 1 or 2 ciders every evening our diet manly consisted of eggs, chicken, rice no salad or vegetables or fruit but we did have a few cheat days as we wanted it to be a bit more laid back after our mmc in November
I'm not sure if we swayed correctly maybe next time I should try a cut off as both my boys were conceived round ovulation
I'd like to thank you again atomic for all your support
Eggs, chicken, and no vegetables are really much more of an IG type sway and not so much LE so that is one thing I'd change up a bit to possibly stick in the limits for protein, fat, and cals and be getting a majority of protein and fat from vegetable sources, not animal.
I would have just one attempt next time, dropping the shallow release in order to up odds of conception with the one attempt.
Timing doesn't sway, it can certainly be something you could try if you felt like it, just be sure it's 2-3 day cutoff and no longer than that.
Wishing you every joy with your new little man!
Thank you for your reply atomic ok great I'll get the plan from you and go by that, may j ask what is the reason you wouldn't do any longer than a 3 day cut off? With my first ds we bd I guess every 3/4 days and this one I had two attempts one before pos opk and one eve of pos opk
Because the odds of conception are very poor and it doesn't sway anyway. So you end up going on month after month not conceiving, and then either you waste away to nothing on diet and end up stopping ovulation and have to practically sway blue via diet just to get it going again, and/or people panic and start doing everything in their power just to get pregnant (again which is often a blue-ish sway) and get opposites. It is much better to focus on doing the stuff that actually works - LE Diet longer than 12 weeks plus fiber, coffee, and alcohol if you want, cardio exercise 60 min 6-7 days a week, one attempt in fertile window and get pregnant within 3-6 months tops instead of chasing things that do not work at all and only cut odds of conception to practically nothing. :)
Ok thank you for all your advise, we are going to try again in about 18 months so it will be our last so I really wanna do everything I can for a dd when would you reccomend me purchasing the plan off of you?
Also do you think 1 attempt is better than frequent bd everyday from af, just a bit concerned as with ds1 we only had one attempt in my fertile window but looking back my diet wasn't great
Thanks again
yes, I think one attempt or every four days is miles better than BD every day thru O. I do not ever recommend anyone try that method.
I do think that buying a plan helps alleviate the "control-freakiness" that can undermine otherwise good sways but I would never have the temerity to recommend anyone purchase one!! LOL. If you think it will help, but I just feel weird about recommending things that I profit off of. :)
Lol, I do want to give it my best shot and really understand more about my diet so I think it definitely may help me by purchasing the plan :-) I feel like I need to spend more time reading through and understand it all. Would I need to go complete vegetarian or can I eat meat as long as it's under the calorie intake? How long before I start trying would you reccomend me getting the plan and what does it include?
Its so hard this diet thing lol near enough all of my friends have at least 1 girl and all eat really similar things (not massively healthy) althou they are quite slim they mainly eat prawns, mince meat, cakes, pies, sandwiches etc I guess they are just very lucky they don't have to do anything and they get girls arghh lol one of them has 6 girls and she has a terrible diet and drinks probably a glass of vodka and coke most evening and her dh has quite a few bottles of beer althou they don't eat great they certainly don't over eat which is probably why they are still quite slim
Oh and they all love pasta lol
Most people like to get a plan 3 months before they plan to TTC - that gives us 3 months of lead time and then 3 months of swaying (since the plan comes with 6 months' coaching) or you can buy it sooner, or later -totally up to you.Quote:

It just makes it REALLY hard to stick to diet when you load up on chicken and immediately go over your protein limits for the day with only a small piece!! then what do you eat the rest of the day?
Plans come with the plan and 6 months of coaching. We have add ons like helpful books and a 21 day diet plan you can add if you want to, but you don't have to.
Alcohol and a poor diet can sway pink. Sweets and diet coke = girls!! Prawns are also something we use on the pink diet quite a bit. :)Quote:

In concerned dh won't go completely vegetarian he probably wouldn't mind a couple of days a week having meat free dinners but not all week do you think that might be a problem
Also does quorn meat count as veggie meals
Hubbies do not have to do the full LE Diet. Since it's your body that has to carry a baby for 9 months and feed them for at least 9 more (in nature anyway) it is your diet that matters, not so much hubby's. :)Quote:

It's kinda tough for me to advise without the sway plan because I have guys do all kinds of different things and take a lot of stuff into consideration when I make those recommendations.
Ok no problem we can maybe go into more detail once we sort the plan out, I'll probably get it shortly after this one is born so if gives me plenty of time to look at it and do everything we can
Hi all I hope eveyone is doing ok, I havent been on here for almpst 3 years, we will be starting to try for another baby in thr next couple of months we will be swaying for a girl
Welcome back! Let me know how I can help!
Hey....thank you so much it's nice to be back �� I have had a little looks through and all the info seems the same so low everything diet amd 1 attempt are there anymore details I should know
Thank you

Yes we had it pretty dialed in from when you were swaying and not much has changed.
Also, exercise cardio 60 min. a day, 4-7 days a week, Clomid or Femara if you can get them.
For hubby, jogging, biking, and smoking have been shown in studies to sway pink. Olive Leaf Extract and soymilk may help for him as well.
Thanks atomic, I better start doing some exercising then, hubby hasnt been to the gym in 2 nonths but when he does go he tends to do weights is this something he should stop? Also has anything changed regarding alcohol should he be having a beer each night? Thank you
No we have found the weights matter for DW not so much for DH (in fact, a lot of the manly men gym rats have all girls, much to their dismay LOL)Quote:

Huge congrats!!Quote:

I understand what the claims people make about EWCM consistency, but many many of us have noticed that our CM dries up a day or even two before O happens, or continues on for a couple days after O, and we're also finding that many of us have CM for up to a week regularly prior to ovulation and it comes and goes - some days it's abundant, other days it's barely there or is creamy/sticky. Obviously you know this now but I would NEVER take a chance on having sex CD 11 on the basis of your CM unless you want to be pregnant.
In addition to our experiences, studies found that CM could predict the day of ovulation only one in three times (which is barely better than random chance since most women are only fertile 3-4 days a month, give or take a day). It's good technique for getting pregnant or avoiding pregnancy, but it just cannot pin down the day you ovulate. (you are supposed to wait three days with the Billings method for contraception, not one or two days, or this very reason, and if you use it in the future be sure you wait 3 days after return of BIP and not only 1 or 2.)
So to answer your question about how this may have swayed, we have not found timing to work at all and it's been totally debunked. Most of us on here, myself included, have 2-3-4 or more timing opposites. So just set that aside, timing cannot have affected gender in any way. If you had one attempt in the fertile window, that sways pink, so that could help (not a magic bullet, but it does help)
We assume Preseed sways a little blue. Again, no magic bullet though.
Laying down after intercourse may sway a little blue. But I got a girl after 4 boys laying flat all night!
Orgasm is said to sway blue, but honestly it's never been studied. I had one when I got my girl.
So there are things that may sway blue and things that may sway pink. What I do know is this, even if you were doing a total blue sway, we still get opposites with both pink and blue sways about 30% of the time so you always have a decent chance of pink.
Good luck and pink dust headed your way!
Thanks again Atomic for the great advice, how strict is it that I should exercise is it better to do it everyday or not at all
Thanks
Sorry a couple more things I wanted to check, should I be drinking a lot of water also are there any foods I ahould avoid and also dh has a protein shake every day should he stop this?
We've had good luck with 4 or more days a week. I would try for 60 minutes.Quote:

What's in the protein shake.
Hi......its called overnight recovery blend......whey, calcium egg white powder
Cocoa powder, sweetener, l-glutamine
That's not terrible, it isn't heavily fortified with vitamins although it does have extra zinc. I probably wouldn't bother making a fuss over it if he's happy with it.
Thank you, I just feel nervous as we will be trying the end of November and I just feel like I'm nit doing enough
Everyone always feels that way!! Surprisingly, I find that the people who are doing 9 zillion things to sway and nailing them all perfectly actually have the most opposites, probably because they are or have to become mega control freaks to pull it all off. Try to keep in mind that all the people walking around out there on Planet Earth, the vast majority of them have at least one girl without doing any of this stuff deliberately, without thinking they're even doing anything any different than they did any other day. It is not necessary (and in fact may undermine your sway hugely by keeping swaying in the forefront of your mind every day) to go on for months miserable eating nothing but rice cakes and craisins, with limes clutched in your fists doing vaginal perimeter checks every 15 minutes to get a girl! It can't be because no one else is doing that stuff. It's just little changes over the course of time that works!!
You are right, great advice thank you.....do you still reccomend 1 attempt on o day, I fell pregnant with both my boys on ovulation day so do you think it's worth mayve a couple of days before or do you think that it doesnt make much difference?
Thank you
Timing doesn't sway. Most of us on here (myself included) have timing opposites. But it's fine if you want to do O-1 or O-2 instead...because trying on O Day is actually lower odds of conception than O-1 and O-2!!! So feel free to DTD on the day before you expect to O or 2 days before. Or better yet use OPK and have an attempt at the first positive OPK which will be an average of 36 hours before ovulation.
Excellent, once again thabk you very much for replying
