We definitely feel lucky to live here too!
My oldest isn't a teen yet, but he's getting there. He turns 11 this year. I honestly feel like I'm waiting on him to just mature a little. I think he's a little behind in that category. He's a great kid..sometimes lol He wants to be a cartoonist when he grows up.
Aww that will be amazing! I bet he's a hoot!!

Helllo everyone, I'm new to this group, hope nobody minds me jumping in. The group I was previously talking with hasn't had much activity in a while so I'm just trying to reach out to new groups. I was just wondering if any boy moms or blue swayers might like to give me advise for an upcoming attempt (about a week away unless I skip this month) because dh is making me nervous. :worry:
Of course you will be welcomed ! This ladies are amazing! I'm swaying pink, so won't be much help! But fx for blue!!

Thank you mommy2, and thank you Ash as well!
I guess I will start by saying I lived a very pro girl lifestyle before discovering swaying.
Since being on my sway, I have given up coffee and sweets entirely (with the exception of dark chocolate, which I never ate before), been very strict with myself on the HE diet, taking vitamins, and lifting weights occasionally (but working outside multiple days a week). I've also stopped smoking and drinking. I've also purchased preseed, just incase (after beginning on the HE diet I have much more ewcm than before, but bd is still uncomfortable, like I don't have it when I actually need it?).
Dh has put on a little weight after he stopped smoking Marijuana (after our 2nd daughter was born) but he then took to drinking. He takes vitamins for me and we changed out bd pattern to more boy friendly. He eats *slightly* healthier.
What concerns me is his smoking cigarettes, but I have to let that go because that won't change. However now (1 week from our first attempt) he's binge drinking every night. I'm not sure how much this affects the sway, and if it was just drinking, I wouldn't be so worried. But with adding drinking to the smoking--and so close to our first attempt--it really has me freaking out.
I'm just trying to get opinions, do you think our progress outweighs the smoking and drinking, or is it too risky?? Should I feel confident in trying in a week, or skip this month and wait for July? Or does it even make a difference since sperm take 70+ days to mature?
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Ttc: I guess I can tell you with my boys, I gained weight before each of them, was very snacky, didn't workout, and rather enjoyed my sweets and junk food. Loved all the red meat! Lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. My personal opinion I would go for it, because you have changed your lifestyle for the better. I don't want to say that and then you get an opposite. There's always a chance of that unfortunately, even if your sway is 100 percent...

Hi and welcome ttcblue! Wow sounds like you have a lot on your plate atm!! I have never heard of sperm taking 70+ days to mature 😮 my understanding was if a man has released then he starts regenerating new swimmers immediately hence the very popular bd pattern of eod during fertile window advised by the medical world worldwide (most obs will recommend this and if you Google how to get pregnant quick it will say the same)..... that allows 48 hours for sperm recovery/build up to happen. I will look into more now but I researched sperm recovery times quite a bit way back when and never came across anything about sperm maturing. Interesting and will be looking into it today :)
Sounds like you are doing fantastic on your side of things which really is the most important! While it doesn't help having dh smoke I agree that you should just accept it as its out of your control. Plus I've known lots of men who have boys that were/are smokers. As for the drinking is there a reason why he's suddenly binge drinking? Maybe try and talk to him about how he is feeling. I only say that because in my experience many binge drinkers are doing so because of how they are feeling (coming from someone who has binge drunk themselves). I'm not sure how much coffee and alcohol sway so I personally wouldn't skip a cycle. I was a big coffee drinker and drank quite a bit of alcohol when I conceived my boys. BUT my diet was heavily HE (I realize now), we had two attempts, and I had been exercising and was feeling really fit in the months prior to conceiving. The thing is one or two things are not going to make or break your sway. I've seen the most rigid, 110% sways fail. There is no guarantee but also no harm in trying to lean towards a particular gender. You need to look at what you've achieved yourself, be proud and know you've done your best! Try and think of dh's actions like this - he's willing to ttc (many dh's aren't or put an unfair time limit on things) he's taking vitamins . (again many dh's wont have a bar of any type of swaying) so if he is relaxed and is healthy regardless of the smokes and alcohol then I say go for it! You never know what is around the corner. What if something happens next cycle that makes you want to skip again? Where do you draw the line? That's my very long winded opinion anyway but I'm not swaying so it's easy for me to say all this I suppose. I do hope you hear from some more blue swayers and that it will ease your mind 💙
