Just watned to say that I was a lazy swayer with dd, here is what I did:
o+12 (I mainly followed the NZ study that o+12 is based upon, you dtd 36 hours after your first positive opk)
losing weight
upped dairy, left away nonos (salty food, red meat etc).
Accidently did abstinence, didnt know back then it would sway, but ds2 was 7 months old, breastfed and cosleeping.
oh actually, the breastfeeding in itself was a huge swaying factor IMO.
I took some cal and mag and cranberry but not much and not regularly as I was still bf.
I am currently planning my next sway a bit stricter. I think my last sway was still 65-75% in my favour to conceive a girl, hoping to go up to 80% this time. Still doesnt mean I will get that little sister for my dd, but its something...
-
I think I also fall into this category. I find it so hard to be very strict with the diet and all the other things while also chasing around a 1 year old and 2 year old and working....
-
okay, I must say that if you are going to do only one thing to sway- do the DIET!
I did the diet 100% and took the supps, and didnt really focus on timing or douches at all. We did use Sylk for lube and didnt DTD on O day.
Its because I didnt have a Fantastic sway that I feel It has taken me a long long time to believe I'm having a baby girl. But after 4 different ultrasounds I'm finally starting to believe i am having the girl I dreamed of.
So if you think you can only do a few of the sway factors, I highly reccomend sticking to the diet. It is hard at first but once you get used to it it becomes fairly easy.
-
I agree, diet is the MOST IMPORTANT of anything. I hate to see people get so caught up in stuff that probably doesn't even sway that much but does prevent pg, only to give up on diet.

Oh, I am a very lazy swayer. I don't mind if I get a little brother for my boy, so it's not the end of the world if I don't get my pink baby. I just can't stick to any of these diets! I have cut WAY down on caffeine, sugar, and my calories tend to be low anyway. I even started exercising to try to drop some weight. That is a big step for someone as lazy as I am.
I ordered in some RepHresh to try out, and I shall abstain from the big O... oh, I do need to pick up some OPKs this weekend because I'm out. I think that's the extent of my swaying. I have trouble swallowing pills, so I can only take supplements if they're chewable or liquid. :(

Hello All!
I'm new and have come to the conclusion that I can only be a lazy pink swayer since if I obsess to much it will stress me out and raise my testosterone. lol
I have one beautiful boy who we did the shettles method for (and prayer, lots of prayer for my baby boy) and unknowingly was doing the boy diet and charting for day of O and had tons of EWCM and lots of O's
Now I would love a girl, but I wouldnt mind a baby brother for my little one either so either way We'll be thrilled.
I guess I have been on a LE diet for about a year now unintentionally since I find I gain weight so much easier now after I had my boy. I'm adding saw palmetto. Eating more dairy. Plan to drink benefiber which contains aspartame until O. We dont eat red meat, and I usually only eat meat once a day if at all. I chart.
I'm still trying to figure out which way to go as far as timing and frequency.
Wow now that I wrote it all out it doesnt see so lazy after all. lol
-
As long as you feel lazy about it, that's all that matters!! :)
-
Just a side note.. is it only in Canada that everything containing aspartame also contains acesulfame-potassium? I'm spelling that from memory, so don't mind me if it's wrong. It seems like every time I try to get more aspartame in me, I have to get more potassium, too!
-
That's not potassium. Acesulfame-potassium (or acesulfame-K as it's sometimes called) is an artificial sweetener that sways pink. chemically, it has potassium in it but the potassium is so bonded with the other components that it is not usable by your body in any way. It just passes straight on thru whole and intact, without being digested.
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...pink-blue.html it's often included with aspartame because they taste better, together. Yogurt especially almost always has them both.
Also, regarding potassium, please be aware that you NEED some potassium for survival anyway. You MUST eat 2500-3500 mg potassium every day (and this is the same amount on the French Gender Diet and on InGender as well) for your health or you risk death - as in, feel fine one moment and drop dead of a heart arrhythmia the next. Potassium is vital for the normal electrical functioning of your heart. Do not under any circumstances attempt to cut out potassium completely and in fact many swayers must make an extra effort to get enough potassium.
Blue swayers eat more potassium than that, so do not worry about how this level of potassium can affect your sway.

Ok, I am definitely a lazy swayer! I am sticking with the French Gender Diet, which I know I know atomic, it's not as good as the LE diet, but this is the only way I will stick with it! I am paleo/primal so my diet is so boy it's not even funny - so we'll see how my body responds to the change! I am definitely cutting out substantial calories (now in the 1600 range - I was in the 2000+ range before), eating way less meat (and VERY little red meat, also a big change for me), sticking to the principles of the FGD as far as limits/amounts and will try to watch the fat as much as possible. I also upped the rice (I don't eat grains so this is a HUGE challenge) so that I am consuming fewer calories from fat and more from carbs, ugh :) Taking CalMag, folic, zinc and Vitex AF-O, no exercise. And I'm not worrying about pH, timing, ions or any of the other stuff one iota! Hope to get preg within the first two months of trying (we start in April)... if I end up with a boy, oh well, at least I gave it the best shot I could! I just want three and will be happy no matter what!
