Just realized I never put in my stats on the spreadsheet from when I swayed with DS3 so I put them in!

It's the every 4 day method where you start having unprotected sex every 4 days or so starting after AF ends and going through until when you are 110% sure you have ovulated, even if that means going through until your next period starting.Quote:

Conceived my two boys on Ov.
Im intending to start the LE diet.
I’m still breastfeeding my ds2 , seems that breastfeeding sways blue more since menstrual cycle is not regular?
Was going through the pink sway statistic,
May I know what does it mean for frequency :
Frequent BD(more BD than external release)?
Meaning BD all the way to OV?
Sorry am really a noob.

Hi and welcome!
Breastfeeding sways pink not blue. Even and perhaps especially if your cycles are irregular
Don't do frequent BD, it's a bad tactic I have a full explanation in this thread https://genderdreaming.com/forum/gen...nk-lately.html
Hey, this is amazing!!!! thank you so much rainbow and blueeyedguys for compiling and keeping these stats up to date. I do have a couple questions about the stats:
1) total sways of 466 represent the period Jan-9 Nov 2017 only?
2) of those 466, only 9 followed pcos diet ?
3) is there somewhere we can follow sample pcos diets from successful pcos sways?
4) do you know the length of time those pcos diet followers stayed on the diet?
5) as 21-24 weeks has the greatest success, is it safe to follow the pcos le diet along with the 60mins/6 days a week exercise routine for this length of time?
Thanks ladies!
No, the total is since the beginning of the site, we imported the data from the old spreadsheet to the new one
No, many more people did it than that, it's just those are who reported that on the spreadsheet.
We have a support thread here: https://genderdreaming.com/forum/try...diet-pcos.html
I advise everyone stay on diet 12 weeks to start with before TTC. I can't give you any more info than that.
No. Our success rates by number of weeks go up and down on the basis of sheer random chance. everything 12 weeks or more has been consistently great. YOU DO NOT NEED and in fact SHOULD NOT do diet 21-24 weeks before TTC. The reason is not because it's unsafe, it's actually a safe and healthy diet (and based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization for a helathy pre-pregnancy diet) it is because over time you may end up delaying or stopping ovulation eating too few calories. So when you do any swaying diet you should do it the minimum amount of time needed for good results (12 weeks) and then drop sway tactics over time (starting with the ineffective ones) to be sure you get pregnant in a timely fashion to prevent delays/stops of ovulation.
thanks for your response atomic and thanks for the link to the support group !Quote:

I haven’t Concieved yet and have pcos and been doing the diet for 3 Months and I can say the weight loss alone is amazing, I find it hard to lose and I’ve lost over a stone! Also my periods are lighter and less painful, a lot of people without pcos follow it with great success too! I think it’s great :)
I have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about with 89%. PLEASE do not tell yourself artificially high success rates. Go off the overall success rate of the site which is about 2/3 of all pink swayers having successful sways.Quote:

with my blue swayers, actually far more successful people do NOT add their sways than those who do. Our blue sways are artificially low because people who have successful blue sways don't always come back to add their info while the blue swayers who get opposites are for whatever reason highly motivated to make sure everyone knows that LOL
Also I feel like you're putting a lot of emphasis on these stats which no one should EVER do because of all the reasons I have spelled out in this thread. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...hts-stats.html Our stats are not scientific and while we have been able to pick out some important trends, they just are not worthy of the importance you guys put on them for planning sways.
uhhhh artificially???? it's in the stats on the first page! i'm not telling myself anything, i'm asking a question based on the stats posted :confused:.Quote:

Also, i'm not putting alot on it, i was JUST asking a question as I saw only a small sample had reported on it and simply wanted to know if the over all results for the pcos diet was as good as the few who reported on it. In fact, i specifically said I wasn't looking for a figure!!! i really just wanted to know if it was getting good results. I'm new to the site and this is one of the first threads I looked at, simply because it seemed like an overview of the success of the diets and sway tactics....i looked specifically at pcos, as i have pcos.
thanks for the thoughts on stats link. the site has alot of information and is pretty overwhelming but I'll read as much as I can instead of asking a question on here
Hey, thank you for the info :happy:Quote:

Atomic often recommends that diet to those who don't even have PCOS but swayed before on regular LE and got a boy. Dreamgirl if you have PCOS then definitely do the PCOS version of LE. It's way better for blood sugar.
8 of 9 people is not a legit sample size. It's artificially inflated based on being a small sample size. if that was 80 of 90 people then maybe but 8 of 9 is not anything to pay attention to. one or two "lucky" sways drops that right back down into the 65-70% range and I want you guys to look at the biggest, most reliable number which is 65-70% and when you asked me "is PCOS diet getting good results" that is what I meant, not 89%. PCOS Diet has gotten as good or better results.
I answer dozens if not hundreds of questions a day and I type fast. If that reply seems snippy, not at all my intention, just that it is of paramount importance to me to not give people falsely high expectations from swaying. That's what lots of other sites on the internet do and it's extremely a big deal to me that you guys go in with the lowest realistic expectations that you can. I'd literally rather eat broken glass than have people decide to sway based on unreasonably high stats. That would be very dishonest of me and also set you guys up for heartbreak so I have to be very vocal about reasonable expectations from swaying since i couldn't live with myself if I didn't.
You guys are always welcome to ask questions and I'm always happy to answer them. Just cut me slack if I answer too fast or in a confusing way since I do try very hard to answer all questions thoroughly and personally and all within only a few days. :) Just keep asking till it all falls into place.
Stats updated. There were 2 new sways from last month.
Thank you so much Blue!! So very much appreciated!
Hi atomic,
from the statistics for aspartame you could get the impression that it sways blue. The total numbers aren't that high, but there seems to be a clear correlation between aspartame intake and number of people getting boys. Could this be true?
Those are the numbers:
Aspartame - none29
Total success:23
Success %:79.31%
Aspartame - a little20
Total success:13
Success %:65%
Aspartame - some20
Total success:24
Success %:63.16%
Aspartame - lots27
Total success:15
Success %:55.56%

I already have that impression and have been watching that for many years.
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...me-thread.html
I do not ever, and never have, recommended lots of aspartame. My guideline is 2-3 servings a day for those who wish to use it and I am fine with people skipping it. I got my girl without it after getting my 4th boy using it.
BUT the thing is those numbers are not reliable because all those people were doing many other things to sway and the people doing tons of aspartame were generally doing very "old school" sways in many other ways none of which I recommend and many of which I believe to sway strongly blue anyway. And all those sample sizes are tiny - not to mention we don't really know what "some" and "lots" mean to anyone. So, the strong correlation you think you're seeing is not really there - but yeah I do wonder if lots of aspartame is not a good idea for any number of reasons.
Atomic I’ve been using the sweetener aspartame in my coffee to avoid sugar (pcos) what other sweetener would you recommend instead?
Thank for the link atomic! That is so interesting. I always (or better since knowing about swaying ;-)) wondered why my cousin has three boys. She is kind of prototype girl mom. One months before her last pregnancy she even got removed big parts of her thyroid (she had that kind of thyroid disease where you get really skinny). She just had stopped breastfeeding and her last pregnancy before that was only 9 months ago. I was sure she was having a girl... But she drinks tons of diet coke. I know, one person is not statistics, but I will try to avoid aspartame now (not really eating/drinking lots of it anyway).Quote:

2-3 servings a day is FINE. I am talking about the people who use insane amounts of aspartame.Quote:

PCOSers need to limit sugar. Aspartame has its uses.
Swaying is an iceberg. There are dozens, if not hundreds of things that may sway for a person (and some speculation that some types of thyroid disease may sway blue anyway) and so we can not ever look at a person and say "why did they get boys/girls" because there are so many things under the surface.Quote:

That's why it's fallen out of favor. But it can be useful especially for swayers with PCOS or who have a lot of weight to lose.
This is not about needing to drop aspartame totally, it's about not doing those insane mind boggling amounts of aspartame that some people do.
If you do want to avoid aspartame, though, stevia seems like a good option. My husband (diabetic) uses it.Quote:
