My pleasure! Enjoy every moment!
Hi Atomic,
I had a long gap for different reasons one after the other from attempts.. and now I am trying to get back on track as I am back in the country.
My weight remain the same as in march - when I attempt 2/3 cycle and didn’t conceive (this is 8/9 kg heavier than when i had my girl 2). I stopped the supplements for a while but now starting everything slowly.
I am walking on treadmill for about 45 minutes 1 hour. is that bad?
Should I loose some weight?
Now, I have been trying to add cereal into my bf.
is cheerios ok? what is ideal for a boy diet?
most of them i checked have sugar in it so I was wondering.
we will start attempt in dec onwards , hopefully, as now we added our supplements slowly.

I would just try to hold steady on weight. If a little sneaks off, no biggie, but just try to stay where you are.
I would limit the treadmill to 5 days a week. You should also be lifting weights for at least 15 minutes a day 5 days a week if you can. Don't do these back to back, have a couple hours between them, during which you eat a snack or a meal. And if at all possible, I would try to make two of the days of weights on a different day than the treadmill (this puts you exercising every day, but it will mean you exercise less on two of the days)
Cheerios is fine, but any cereal that is healthy and that you like is great. I would not eat things that are sugary, and I would avoid things that are very low nutrient like corn flakes and rice krispies, they are basically sugar themselves since they're just refined carbs with nothing else going on. There is a difference between an unhealthy sugar cereal (like cocoa puffs or fruit loops) and something like granola or raisin bran, which may have a bit of sugar but are still healthy options.
GREAT! FXFXFX and tons of blue dust headed your way!
thanks so much atomic.
yes it will be 5 days a week treadmills.. I will add in some weight workouts in other 2 days. I was actually doing well with weight work out and 2 days indoor walk.. but now something happened to my shoulder or upper arm muscles on the side I got covid vaccination. The pain hasn’t gone away and its been few weeks now.
I didn’t want to wait for it to go away to start our attempts. so I thought treadmills or other walks to start off some exercise and slowly add in some weight workouts . I guess 15 minutes of work out would be ok. so that is 5 days 15 minutes weight workout. is that correct?
ok . I will ensure I choose the healthy type of cereal. :)
DH is currently walking for 30-40 minutes and he do light workout for 15 - 20 minutes for about 5 days a week too.

Oh gosh I'm sorry to hear that - just work your legs, then, when you can. If it keeps up you might want to talk to your doc about that, sometimes they can give you a steroid shot to help alleviate the inflammation. It's probably what is called SIRVA from the person who gave you the shot not putting it in quite the right spot, but there's also something called "covid arm" from the vaccine, tho usually that comes with a rash. Either way there may be a treatment that will enable you to get back to normal activities sooner.
Perfect, fine to go ahead and add in weights over the course of time now. Yes, only 15 minutes is enough to see some good changes with weights!! And that way you are much less likely to overdo it.
You guys are doing great! Keep it up!
yes, I read about SIRVA.. I hope it goes away with some time. yes , it looks like the person did it wrong. I cannot do certain things and certain posture. I already called Doc and she asked me yo wait up-to 2 months and get back if not better.
thanks you so much Atomic . i will keep you updated here.

Take care and keep me posted! Hope you're feeling better soon. :heart:
Hi Atomic,
I am continuing with what I can do. The pain is still there but not bad as before. gone a bit lighter but it do come back at certain posture.
in terms of sway, I haven’t any weight lifting bcoz of this problem but I am walking and very active that way( about 400 calories a day for 5 days) eating and drinking well- 4 times a day.
i am thinking to add this workout on to every other day . is this enough?

thanks in advance

Hi atomic,
my post is not coming up here.. is it waiting for approval?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes I think it's because of the youtube video attached - the system thought it was spam. I've approved it.
That workout is great!! My daughter and I just did it! Very gentle and yet it was definitely working the muscles! Absolutely that is a great one for you and it looked to me like something you could probably do most of the moves, and the few that you can't, just do something similar during the same time that you can do.
Hi, ohh yes the link!
thanks so much. [emoji4] ok i will do this few days a week, whenever I can.

hi atomic,
I recently found out that I have tilted cervix slightly to the right side. i knew i have tilted uterus but didn’t know to which side.
what is the best position to lay after BD, is it tummy down or to right?
thank you
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
oh don't worry a bit about that, it's very common. I have one too and I have four boys.
I would spend part of the time on your back, and part on your stomach. If you want to lay a while on either side, or both sides, that's fine too. In most cases back and stomach are more than sufficient but it doesn't hurt anything to roll over a couple times.
oh thank you Atomic. [emoji4]
attempt is coming up.. i will update here .
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
my blood flow was low comparatively this month. is this because I am walking more now? will it be effecting negatively for my boy sway? I also have cramps as I am coming to end of my period.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I can't say why - have you recently dropped any supplements you were taking, or changed your eating habits, or cut back on alcohol?
Many of us with all boys have relatively light periods naturally (in fact, I often see people with all girls having periods that are terribly long) My period is normally only three days long and I got my boys that way. when I got my daughter it did get lighter - barely there! - but we've seen plenty of people who see drastic changes in their cycles and get the opposite gender of what the theory says they "should." I have a lot of blue swayers who have 10 day periods that normalize to 5-7 days or even less with the HE Diet. This is likely caused by a lack of certain nutrients that then they start getting enough of on the diet.
Keep me posted on the cramps, this may simply be O Pains starting early.
in terms of eating habits- yea I added muesli and mix of others into my early bf. I walk to gym about 20 minutes, treadmill for about 45 minutes and then walk back, i then have my 2nd bf. lunch, sometimes evening snack if I am hungry or dinner. so one bf is an extra before i start to walk.
cramps was there for like an hour and it did go away. today is CD 7 and period stopped completely. usually i have spotting until cd 6.. but this time it stopped like day 4. I did have medium/heavy flow first and 2nd day. i just felt like it was little less than usual.. and got worried as its my attempt month. [emoji1696]
thank you so much

That sounds like a perfectly normal period to me. I would just take that as a sign your hormones are shifting! Keep up the great work and good luck this month!
thank you Atomic.
will keep you updated. we will be trying unprotected release inside from today, on every 2/3 days until day before Ovulation and then attempt -1 ,O,+1 ,+2.. does that sound alright?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You can probably skip O+2, and I always like you guys to try for two attempts either O-1 or O Day if at all possible. If you can't, that's fine too, very very good!!
Alright. thank you atomic

Atomic, I have a problem. it have to be the month we finally started to try again .
I have wisdom tooth gum infection and going to a dentist. if they give me antibiotics, will it affect the sway / ovulation? Also how about pain killers like ibuprofen? i am so much in pain that I have to do something, tried to hold it with home remedies but doesn’t help [emoji29]
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If they are able to simply fix the issue with antibiotics I'd go ahead and try unless you have not been able to eat for many days. Take the painkillers as needed, honestly don't think those sway much. Of course, if you'll live 1000 lifetimes of regret if you try this month and it's a girl, best to wait, but remember you never know, next month something else will come up, there is never an ideal month.
If they end up taking the tooth out, I would wait the month out. A couple years back I had to have a major dental surgery like that and it was BRUTAL. I was shocked at how physically rough it was.
And feel better soon!
thank you.
we didn’t bd for last three days. today is 4th day and am close to my ovulation. cd 13 today. I didn’t have my supplements yesterday and today. food I didn’t starve. i ate to keep me going with painkillers.
no, tooth was not removed. prescribed an antibiotic.
should we carry on after BD today? or 4 days gap close to ovulation isn’t good?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Four days is fine for blue. Just do your best. I would have more attempts from now on though because you will likely still ovulate on time if youve been eating normally.
we ended up not trying this cycle Atomic [emoji29]. I was still in pain the first two days with antibiotics and painkillers - so didn’t feel like BD and thought to give my body time to come out of infection and feel better mentally. hoping to try next cycle in January. i am little sad about missing this cycle but maybe that’s what meant to be.

That makes sense to me - wishing you a very speedy recovery!
thank you atomic. I am recovered and feeling better.
I sometimes uses arrowroot powder mixed in water and drink it. this is like a home remedy to help me from getting UTIs. i mix about 2 table spoon of powder into 1 litter of water and drink it throughout the day. I also boil barley and drink its water throughout the day at times.
I wonder if these have any benefits or not great for boy sway. this is not everyday drink, only like once a week. i was wondering if arrowroot have any side affects? it has high folate so it could be helpful for fertility? this is pure homemade one as well.

I honestly can't say how it sways since I haven 't seen lots of other people doing it. ANYthing can have unknown side effects when taken to excess. But once a week or so really doesn't seem "to excess" to me, and I'm fine with you continuing that if it is helpful. I would probably not do it every day as we've seen even things we thought were totally benign, like wheatgrass juice, seeming to have some potentially negative effects.
ohh ok. make complete sense. yeah I don’t have it everyday. maybe i will reduce or pause it for now and take it only if required . definitely wont take anything in excessive amount , even good things can harm if taken too much. thanks so much for your reply.
wish you a lovely holiday season and new year . [emoji4]

Hi Atomic,
I have started my attempts. today is cd9. not there at ovulation yet but we started with unprotected.
my temp is acting a bit funny .. i doubt i have mild fever as I have been coughing little bit for the past 2/3 days. little worried about being unwell as we started on attempt.. but i am not so sick, still able to do everyday things etc. did take paracetamol 2/3 times during this week.. for headache. hoping it is ok. didn’t want to skip another month.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You are still far out from O and any paracetemol will be out of your system by then. Good luck and blue dust headed your way!
thank you atomic. feeling relieved after your reply [emoji4]. will keep you updates. very likely to get ovulated around cd15 .. from previous 3 cycles.[emoji1696]

my previous 3 or 4 cycle i did ovulate around cd14/15/ so hoping it is not so far from that but never know
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If you've been Oing on CD 14 at all I'd start attempts on CD 13. Good luck and blue dust headed your way!
we ended up sleeping early. DH is little unwell too.. but we thought to go ahead with this month and attempt from today CD14. i did opk test today and it is slightly darker than yday i could be ovulating tomorrow I feel . temperature is not dropped either.
he is not ssoo unwell but mild sickness like how I had few days ago ( probably got it from me) . hope it wont affect our attempts that much. something is coming up every month and our attempts kept moving fwd so i wanted to actually start. really praying this is our blue month and i get a bfp.
thank you so much [emoji4]
