We have given up on LR except for the handful of people who truly feel they won't be able to live if they don't include it. While on paper it ~should~ sway pink, we have had dreadful results of only about 38% success with it.

Yes every 72 hours even after you think you've ovulated (exception being if you had your ovulation confirmed by bloodtest or ultrasound)Quote:

:agree: ok great! Yes be sure to keep eating enough and have a variety, as it makes it much easier to stick to diet and continues giving your body enough nutrients to get and stay pregnant.Quote:

Thank you very much for your advice once again. I explained to DH that we don't need to worry about licorace root but he said he doesnt mind taking it amd trying it for just one month just to see if it helps sway but is this safe to do so with the OLE if not I will tell him not to bother?
Hi Atomic,
Do you believe ttc -1/-2 days before ovulation makes a big difference?

Looking over the info you have already given I think I might tell dh to leave out the licorace root if it its not helping and just do OLE, I was really torn whether to do it or not, we prevoius prenancies including the miscarriage we conceived straight away
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE HIM LICORICE ROOT.Quote:

Timing doesn't sway. https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...le-timing.html The only reason we aim at O-1 is because it's a good day to conceive with one attempt and it coincides with the positive OPK (so it's easy to know when to have that one attempt.)Quote:

Are we getting good results with OLE
I'm am really on the fence when he comes to OLE as I have seen some great results but I'm also worried its adding extra vitamins with DH amd being harmful to our sway
it has 71% which is barely better than the overall success rates of the site. I personally think it's completely neutral, it doesn't help or hurt a sway. Use at your discretion.Quote:

I would have him do it if he's willing. We don't know how long it would take to fully kick in but it can't hurt.
Excellent thank you
I think I'm on the right track I'm managing to stay within my limits food wise and just trying to not be so restrictive as with my last sway I really was only eating chicken, eggs amd rice perhaps that's where I was going wrong I didnt have any potatoes at all either last time but I am reading all the info everyday which is really helping and using my fitness pal to track fat, protein and calories I couldnt believe how much protein is in chicken and eggs, i have also cut right down on diet coke as i had so much of it on my last two boys as well of lots of tea. I now have 1 cke zero a day amd I just drink water qith maybe a little squash the rest of the day with 1 glass of qine with my dinner, im also walking for 60 mins 4/5 days a week. DH is taking OLE and has switched to vodka and lemonade instead of beer (I hope the lemonade is ok) and we will have 1 attempt the day before positive opk......I'm praying this is all ok as I feel so nervous about it all
Yes please don't be too restrictive, there's no need for it and I truly believe it undermines your sway by making you think about swaying constantly to stick with it. That sort of control-freakishness and constant dedication sways blue in a big way when you have to stay strong every minute just to keep from cheating.
:agree: yes when I was back on Ingender, before I'd done any of this research, I kept seeing people eating tons of chicken, eggs, and full fat dairy and getting boys and then people would be like "this is because you didn't do ions" LOL. At the same time the people eating more carbs and veg were getting girls even without all that other stuff.
Did I explain already about potatoes?? If not here: https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...s-edition.html
I think beer is fine for DH but lemonade is also fine.
Everything else is looking great!
Great thank you, I have just opened the link and it was a great read very interesting, I read somewhere on this site that gin and tonic was a good drink and there is something in tonic that sways pink, is this still the case as dh and I willl often drink gin and slim line tonic
Also Dh has been drinking a cup of peppermint tea each day aswell
Meh, I seriously doubt that does anything, your choice. We've had good results with alcohol on the whole.
I really haven't been using the pep tea any more but it's your choice.
Oh ok so could peppermint tea possibly harm our sway
Also I'm worried we have messed up the sway as dh jasnt been able to hardly any running lately as he has been qorling 12 hour days and is just to tired to work out at all
We don't have the data to say. We just don't know.Quote:

Sorry for all the questions
Also how important is it that DH drinks alcohlol?
While we once worried that could be possible exercise ahs gotten such good results we no longer worry about that. Have him go for it.Quote:

So as we have only got 2/3 weeks until we ovulate you would still say for DH ro start running pr should we juat delay ttc for a few months to give him more time (although I doubt DH would want to do that as its taken me a year to persuade him to have another dc) he is happy to drink alcohol most evenings I kidt wanted to be sure that was a swaying factor for pink
Sorry so many typo errors, I'm trying to type whilst sorting the kids out lol
either way, I'll still answer all your questions! Thanks for considering it, thoughQuote:

Ok great I'll try and get him out running although it's quite tricky with his shifts at at the moment, do we know why running is helping DH to sway pink
Also how do I purchase the dream membership it's the least I can do for all your help
DH has just got in from work amd he doesnt think he can fit in the exercise due to work shifts, its sooooo annoying as when we conceiving our boys he was constantly at the gym amd now when I need him to he cant commit he said he is happy to do everything else........drink alcohol, 1 attempt, ole, I'm just getting anxious as I ovulate in 2.5 weeks I really wanted him to start running..
No, we don't really know, but it's one of the better proven things - unlike most of this stuff, it was shown in a pretty good study to work. We speculate it's due to heat and pressure but we don't truly know.Quote:
