I'm soooooo happy. When I asked him if I could try LE diet to get DD a sister, he said: yes, that's totally fine for me. So if it's fine for him, it's my turn now to make the decision when and how to sway.

amazing news Fiya :) so excited for you!! good luck and pink dust xx

Thanks everyone :) I am over the moon.

I'm calling the midwive tomorrow to see if she can get my Mirena out. 3 months after she put it in, she actually checked why I was still bleeding and couldn't find the small cord to get it out, so I'm not sure if she'll be able to get it out. If she can't, I have an OB appointment the 25th of July and he told me he should be able to remove it. I think we'll start TTC'ing by september/october.

@Atomic, thanks a lot. I do have some questions, but I totally understand if you're too busy with your tribe and the personal plans to answer them. And maybe the other ladies can help me out too.

* Should I take folic acid while swaying, or does this sway blue? I don't remember this... It has been too long.

* What about the attempts? Is it still one attempt at positive OPK? I got pretty good in reading OPK's and I got pregnant in the thirth cycle with one attempt, so I think we could try that again at least six months. Should hubby release the days before or not? And what about big O? I didn't read anything about that anymore in the latest sways....

Just a little picture of our swaying miracle. She has gotten so big :HH:

She is so lovely!! Thanks for sharing her with us!!!

Yes please everyone take folic acid. REgardless of how it sways, it's the only nutrient ever proven to prevent birth defects when taken prior to conception. 1200-1600 mcg daily starting now through the entire first trimester, then at that point gradually wean back till down to the amount in a prenatal, then you can drop them.

Yes please start off with one attempt at positive OPK (or with a cutoff if you prefer, although it doesn't work). I would probably recommend going to e4d a little sooner than 6 months, but that's totally your call to make.

If you like, you can have hubby abstain (if he's under 35) or do daily (frequent) release daily for 7-10 days prior. BUT neither of htose things have worked and a lot of people are now just having their husband do regular release every 2-4 days.

What you can do is start off with one attempt at pos OPK with daily release, then go to one attempt plus regular release, then e4d over time

Supposedly Big O sways blue, but we've had plenty of people get girls with Big O so I doubt it does much.

Thanks a lot for getting back to me Atomic. I'll take 1600 mcg of folic acid every day and we'll start with one attempt at positive OPK without paying much attention to the release pattern the days before. My hubby turned 35 in January. And as for big O, I have gotten two boys with it and a girl without it, but it could just be the other things I did which swayed.

I'm having my Mirena removed the 13th of this month and I still have regular cycles of 28 days with it, so I think and hope my cycles stay that way after having it removed. I'll start the LE diet at the end of this month I think.

I'm soooo excited and since hubby told me yes, he's excited too. We're realizing a lot of things are going to change with 4 :running: We're going to have a very busy house lol

Perfect! And follow your heart with the Big O!
