I would much rather ve doing the boy diet then the girl one... I feel so bad when I peak over to their threads. They def have a harder diet to change too imo!
You're right. I eat the LE diet normally and I can see that it would be harder to switch from eating HE to LE, especially if you're a big eater by nature.
Hey ladies, can you give me some red meat dinner ideas?? Id like to know what you cook for beef dinners at your house. My boyfriend LOVES beef but Im not used to cooking it at all, and he works during dinnertime at the moment so I have to do all the cooking. Any tips would be appreciated
I do lots of hamburger meat recipes, like chili, spaghetti, sloppy joes, meatballs, etc. I also did beef stew in the crock pot with steak strips. Sooo good.
Yes, I do lots of what Midwest does. I make hamburgers, spaghetti with ground beef, meatloaf, steaks, and beef roasts in the crockpot.
I made a really good and easy boy friendly side salad...kidney beans, chopped cucumbers, & diced tomatoes. ..sprinkle it with fresh lemon and add a splash of Italian dressing and salt it...sooo good. I made a huge container and grab a small bowl throughout the day.
Thank you for the tips Midwest.
Hey ladies just letting you know I will likely back off from this forum for a while. I may stalk a little bit but, who knows *shrugs*. I am having a very hard time with all things ttc and life in general and my depression is back. I will be seeing a psychologist as of this Wednesday. I won't be telling dh as he doesn't need to know. That will only make things worse for him as my moods and his problem are causing his depression to resurface and he gets it worse then I do. Thank you for all your support, I really value it xx :bighugs:

Hi Ladies,
I had a wisdom tooth removed and I haven't been able to eat well at all, I have drank V8 and all my other juices and teas. I feel terrible but my sway is in October so hopefully this event won't affect the sway too much. I wanted to see if I add Royal jelly and bee pollen to help out, has it changed anyone's cycle? My cycle changed as it is anyway I was every 25 days and since the HE diet and supps it changed to every 28. What do you guys think? Thanks in advanced!
Hey I have no idea about the royal jelly and bee pollen but if youre ttc in oct. I wouldnt worry about your diet as of now. You have plenty of time. Good luck!Quote:

I was just wondering of you ladies are doing any strength training? I haven't seen it mentioned but I know it was a vital factor in alot of the earlier blue swaying ladies, has opinion changed on it? I will do a bit of digging around and see if anythings changed:) but it should still be a good idea to store all the extra nutrition your bodies are getting as muscle rather than fat, boosts the testosterone levels! Again sorry if this is mentioned a few pages back, just don't want anyone missing any extra blue threads in their bows lol :bigsmile:
Hi Ladies,
Just wanted to drop by for some opinions.I would like to in advance apologize dropping in more often.
I am a little worried because during my two month break I took birth control. I stopped them on sunday August 3rd. AF started Tuesday following my last bcp which was only 3 days after. I started my Fertility Blend Supplements and Fish oil on Friday August 1st which to date is only about two weeks. I also reset my Clear Blue Fertility Monitor because I never took the batteries out and so I had no choice but to reset and erase the memory. According to the CBFM today is CD 9 and I on day 6 it asked for the 1st test which gave me a high reading and I am sure its standard on a first time use, however this morning I got a Peak and I was totally not expecting it. I feel so emotial right now and feel like crying because we have been bd'ing unprotected since CD5. We bd CD 5, 7,8. I honestly did not expect to ovulate because I did not ovulate when i first had the intention to sway last year. I think I ovulated on my 3rd month. I don't know what to do ladies. I have only taken since I started this round the Fertility Blend Supps, Fish Oil and have been drinking two cups of green tea, lots of water, oatmeal with bluberries and nuts every morning. I haven't done any exercise or weights and that just makes me feel like a complete looser and I feel like if I do get pregnant I just lost my only small chances of having a boy. If today CD9 I got a peak and I just came off BCP is there anything I can do at this time to help me a bit???? Or (I know this is cruel) should I take a morning after pill??? :(( I am so sad and dissapointed and confused and don't know what I should do. Sorry for my rant and allowing me to vent. I will take any advice and your opinions are greatly appreciated. I honestly was going for my first sway in august and i was in the process of loosing some weight and buying all of the goodies for my upcoming sway.
Thank-you again ladies and fx to you all!
Yogi- I'm not sure how the fertility monitor works. Can you go and buy an opk just to be sure?
I agree with Jana, can you double check with an opk? CD9 seems pretty early, not impossible, but early, how long are your cycles usually? If I remember correctly then you usually get your period roughly 10 days after ovulation, so that would make your cycle roughly 19 days long, have you ever had a 19 day cycle before??
And how does the morning after pill work? sorry for my ignorance:oops:
Thank-you Janamomof3girls,
It never crossed my mind. I think ill go buy some today.
ELP,
When I first was off BCP last month I was ovulating on cd 17-18 and my cycles were 33 days long. 😢 yes this is really early. I have ewcm and to make things worse my husband (sorry tmi) has been using lotion as lube 😢 I managed to put some pre seed last night but he had first put lotion. We bd'd a little then our kids were knocking on the door so we had to put it on pause lol and so i took the opportunity to put some pre seed in but im sure the little lotion he put will over power the pre see. I am almost 100% positive I am ovulating because I am super tender from my uterus and I always have this feeling when I am about to ovulate 😔 Omy and im devastated. I am also using diet pills so I can't stop drinking water because it gives severe dry mouth and I know I am sure my pee is going to be very diluted. I wish this was all a dream.
Thank-you for your replies ladies!
yogi, I think I am also right in thinking that the body 'tries' to ovulate every seven days (atomic knows more about this:)) so this could just be a keen try from your body, and in fact the real ov will be in a weeks time, so closer to the 16 day mark. I know I would get an almost full line early in my cycle with the cheapie opk's and I would tilt it and turn it and think what if, but the rules are if its not darker its not positive so I would just be getting myself at it lol :)
I'm wondering if the hormones from the bc pills may have messed up your cycle this month. Why don't you go and get an opk just to be sure and then go from there :happy:
True!Quote:

My cycles are regular 30 day cycles
I don't think you have to worry too much. I would start using condoms. That's what we do! I get pregnant very easily and I'm not taking any chances. :happy:
Good idea lol if this time around is anything like with my daughter then I get pregnant easily tooQuote:

Lmao.. reminds me of learning sex ed in school... use condoms kids!Quote:

I try to do weights at least 4-5 times weeks. It makes you feel good after all the HE diet...Its hard to east so much potassium..and sodium...the whole day I feel so full...
Also I am not sure, if anyone follows Biorhythms and moon position...it says that Oct 8 is a full moon and its a favorable when you sway for a boy. I know this is not full proof...but all us October swayers want to do all we can do...to sway blue...
I carry a 1yr old around... does that count as lifting weights? Lol. My cycles are ovulation during new moon, af during full moon. :( so ill have to do everything else right!Quote:

That is positive! The one good thing that you have on your side is that you have several attempts in the fertile window.
LMAO!!! Hilarious!!!!Quote:

yogi&booboo, I'm with Jana. Definitely a good thing you had plenty of attempts in the lead up to your +OPK. Cycles can throw you off. I have spotting and AF will be arriving tomorrow no doubt. This means I did indeed ovulate on CD 15 when I usually ovulate around CD 19-21. Hopefully this will be your gorgeous blue bundle.
I am back, lol. Such a long stay away, rofl. I am in a much better mindset now. Dh tried half a viagra tablet and it worked. There is now a light at the end of the tunnel and I have new found hope. I think everything in life, including TTC and Af coming really messed around with my hormones. I'm still going to see the psychologist though.
Good luck yogi!!
And welcome back boysway!! Glad you're in a better place
Back to the weight lifting question... I workout 3-4 days a week. I do cardio and weights... i might cut down the cardio now that it's getting closer to my TTC month. My period starts Monday! So excited to finally start this BDing lol
Question, should I start preseed right after my period? Or wait until O week? I've never used any type of lube before... do I put it in right before BD or an hr before?
Thank-you Boysway and I pray you have your baby boy on the way very soon.
Thank you Midwest 😊
Do you ladies think its ok for me to add a little bit of brown sugar to my oats? They are so bland but I dont think were supposed to take in much sugar? Its about the only sugar I get in a day.
