ELP, is Davey already 7 months? I can't believe it! It seems like you just had him. How is his eye? I have noticed my little one has a wonky eye from time to time. I hope he out grows it.

I've been drinking lemon water for about 2 months, eating nuts, apricots, bananas, canned soup, meat and potatoes and a ton of veggies (we eat meat and veggies everyday mostly anyway). I still have trouble not getting hungry (even with eating so much). I think its from the bfing.

I'm still trying to read everything on here but I just read TTC5's planned sway and I think she had a boy?? I couldn't find the answer for sure. So I'm going to start o-ing everyday a week or so before we planned to ttc.

Congrats to Pearl! That is awesome news!

I agree with Elp, I would get rid of the flaxseed and take fish oil

Funny you should ask Hobber because I just pointed it out to DH about 3 days ago, its that slight that it needs pointing out but! once you know you keep seeing it! plus with him now being 7 months I am thinking of bringing it up with the Dr or Health Visitor next time I see one of them, just incase he may need a patch for a short while:) Bless your little fella:) he can always borrow Daves special outfit lol!!!

Yep TTC5 has her little boy now :) I agree with the others, fish oil is great for CM, if you cant get much of it naturally preseed is good too :)

I still remember when you posted that picture. It was perfect!

I hope Davey's eye gets better on it's own. If it is only slightly noticeable, I bet he will either outgrow it, or only need a tiny bit of help!

Hey guys - two questions, red raspberry leaf tea - does it sway pink? I drink green tea occasionally but not sure which tea is safe for a boy sway on a regular basis. Secondly, any snack protein ideas besides nuts/peanut butter? I feel like I'm eating nuts all day long! I want to grab some cheese but obviously am not! Craving apple and cheese!

Boiled eggs, protien powder drinks, cottage cheese, beef jerky, tofu, hummus, oats, soy milk. Green tea is fine as much as you want im not sure about rasberry tea? You can have cheese, full fat is great.

Becca, definately have cheese!! The majority of us are big believers in the calcium for boys ideas, rather than calcium for girls. the more nutrients the better:agree:

Green tea is probably the best but keep ypur folic acid high as it has been linked to birth defect through low folic acid. But in general all traditional teas are antioxidants so good for blue. I think there is a thread on teas somewhere isnt there?? I'll see if I can find it.

I'm so happy to hear that about cheese! I've been having full fat greek yogurt with fruit and granola every night but was staying away from milk and cheese. I think my first snack will be apple and cheese! Thanks ELP and Cinss!

Good to know about the RRL tea, I think I still have some left from my pregnancy! So, it seems I should give up coffee and soda, right? Oh boy, that's a hard one.
October 31st, 2012, 03:35 PM
becca

Yes, on the coffee and soda. :( Coffee was the hardest for me. I had quite and addiction going on with mochas!

I've decided to officially do my attempt in Dec., instead of next week, to be on the diet longer etc. My husband didn't agree to wait at first but came around. He's eager to try again! :)

I was looking through some of the sways and sways in progress. I was going to add mine --- is it a form you fill out or just type out what you're doing?

Hi ELP!!

How is sway #2?? Eating all those nuts and bananas are making sooo full! I am up 3-4 pounds and hopefully I can keep it here with exercise! I am well. Have been super busy with uni + working full-time! AHHHH.

This is practice month #2 and I am hoping to sway next cycle. I have been on the diet about 3-4 weeks so it will be 6 by the time I do my first attempt. My ovulation and cycles are never regular, so that is always a problem, hence the reason why I am doing another test month!

Calcium questions for everyone!

I am still stuck on the calcium thing. I know the older studies show calcium for a pink sway and the newer ones its a blue sway....but how is everyone deciding on what to do?

I have a protein shake which I LOVE, and I have given up during my blue sway as it was 50% calcium and 20% magnesium. My prenatal also has 23% calcium.

My nails were so nice and strong which never happens for me, and now they are all broken and brittle and my skin has been horrible since Ive stopped my protein shake...I am so stuck if I should just not take it for my sway or if I should add it back in.........Ive already been without it for about 3-4 weeks....HELP!

1 or 2 coffees per day is ok, soda not so much, try substituting with lemon water :)

Good idea being on the diet longer, gives you a better chance. Usually we add our sways after we get a BFP or you can blog it, or add it in the review my sway plan section. Copy someones or just type up your own.

Atomic has said calcium is good for boy sway, you really dont want to deplete your levels because your baby will leech it from your bones. Have that protein shake :)
