Oh the prolapse doesn't sound like fun! You poor thing! The things we go through for motherhood are crazy but so worth it.
I'm on the minipill so not sure if that's keeping af away for me as well but my plan is to go off the pill in September and see what happens. I hope I can catch the first egg as I think that may sway pink too!
My lo slept through til 2am this morning so maybe he might drop some nightfeeds soon which will bring on my first ppaf?
Fx we get our girls xx
Hi ladies.
I'm another Aussie mama, preparing to begin my sway for a little girl this August/September.
I have 2 beautiful (but cheeky!) boys and I'm scared and excited about going back again.
I have a question about your hubbies and what they're doing as part of your sways.
Mine is happy to go along with anything I tell him really! Haha
Should I have him on a strict diet like I'm on (LE)? Or can he follow it roughy, with some extra protein?
Also, what supplements should I have him on?
I purchased calcium, magnesium, cranberry and liquorice root (after researching through another swaying forum), but now I'm not sure he should be on all of those?
Also, should I be taking folate now, or wait until I actually start trying? How much should I be taking?
I thought I should follow what's on the bottle, but I saw some info somewhere on here about taking heaps more than that?

Minimum 60 minutes cardio exercise 6-7 days a week
One attempt (timing is irrelevant so you'd usually start with one attempt at pos opk to increase conception odds then move onto an e4d pattern after a few cycles)
Caffeine (eg 2-3 coffees a day - try and limit milk to just a small dash, if you want a cafe coffee make sure you include the calories, fat and protein in your tracking, if you have one outside a meal its basically a snack)
Alcohol (whatever you're comfortable with but one daily with a meal is what many do)
Clomid (if you can get it) although in Australia it has to be prescribed by a specialist (gp's cant prescribe)
These are the main consisent pink sway tactics that I know of. Other tactics can be included and dropped as you go along like the hot showers, jump and dump etc
I know its alot of reading and info to get your head around. Maybe start by going to the ttc a girl forum and read through one by one writing down questions as you go along. If those questions then remain unanswered create a thread and ask away [emoji3] Good luck!

Thank you!!!
Can you explain the abbreviations in this sentence?
One attempt (timing is irrelevant so you'd usually start with one attempt at pos opk to increase conception odds then move onto an e4d pattern after a few cycles)

I haven’t started trying yet, I have two boys (3 and 18 months) so I’m thinking of starting ttc in August.

So I’ve just read the article you pinned... so calcium/milk is not a big deal with the LE diet? On Ingender it’s a big deal...

No its not but its your sway your way on here too so if you feel you need to include/exclude certain things then that's up to you [emoji4] Dairy is fine on the LE diet as long as its within the diet limits as in calories,fat and protein

So pos opk means positive opk. An opk is an ovulation test. Opks test for the LH hormone as it peaks prior to ovulation happening. You can get dip tests that are best used between 1-3pm after restricting fluids and holding your pee for a couple hours - Ovuplan is a good brand dip test ypu can buy from Chemist Warehouse. You basically float a test stick in a container of urine and then read the result (full instructions are always provided) Alternatively Clearblue digital dual hormone opks use first morning urine, will go from open circle to flashing smiley (once it detects a shift in lh and estrogen) then will show a fixed (non flashing) smiley once your levels have peaked. Also available at Chemist Warehouse and pretty sure Woolies/Coles sell too?Quote:

E4d means to have unprotected intercourse every four days. Whether you do this as every 96 hours or every 72 is up to you. Maybe start with the 96 hours then move onto the 72 hour version after a couple cycles. Doing e4d eliminates the need for opks and many find it a lot less stressful [emoji4]

Are there any stats on which one is more successful?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Unfortunately, what works for one person does not always work for others (not to mention that many people want to use many different things that others don't want to use) and so the sites that have one set of directions for everyone are doing people a big disservice. I know it seems confusing at first but I am here to answer all your questions and within a short time it falls into place.Quote:

For DH, smoking and jogging and/or biking have been proven to sway in studies. We have had seemingly good results with OLE and soymilk as welll though I'm not certain they are really helping.
Everything else has not worked well.
We can't compare them because two different groups of people are using them. People who go to e4d have often been on diet a lot longer and are less fertile than those who get pregnant using one attempt.Quote:

Most of us on here have gotten at least one boy doing things the IG way with the calcium supps. If you do want to include them, it's up to you, just be sure you take only supplements of cal/mag without Vit. D and don't drink gobs of dairy (it's ok within LE Diet limits, but it's not a free food) because that likely sways blue due to the massive amounts of nutrients in the dairy foods.Quote:

Hi Aussie ladies!!
My staples way back when for LE diet were woollies select steakhouse chips, linda mccartney products, roasted vegies seasoned however you like (be sure to include the oil in your limits), veggie delight products, tip top pikelets, la zuppa soups, uncle bens mexican microwave mexican rice, woolies prepackaged stir fry veggies (produce section), wokka ramen noodles with Lee kum kee honey, garlic and soy sauce. Also an awesome meal is either soft tacos or burritos using uncle bens mexican fried rice as the 'mince' or 'chicken'. Add some avocado in your salad if you have the fat available! Delish!!

Ttcpinkluck I'm quite sure Atomic doesn't put any emphasis on sodium as a sway tactic. Don't think it's proven to sway either way? I'd have whatever pasta sauce takes your fancy. Just include in your calorie, fat, carb (moreso the pasta) and protein intake [emoji4] I regularly had La Zuppa soups when I was on the le diet (in 2015) and they are very high in sodium too. I didn't factor sodium into my sway at all while I was swaying... if you're wanting confirmation create a thread in the ttc a girl forum for atomic to answer directly as there's not much chance of her seeing it in here [emoji4]

Ttcpinkluck sugarfree drinks should be limited to 2-3 a day but more from a health point of view from memory (personally I drink 2-3 coke no sugar a day. Pretty sure aspartame isn't considered a strong sway tactic anymore. I remember seeing something awhile back that said something along the lines of the data wasn't supporting it to sway either way [emoji848] will see if I can find any info and post a link.
Here's a screenshot of Atomics post I was referring to [emoji4]
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7492e6dd63.jpg
And here is the link to that thread so it makes sense. By fake sugar I'm assuming it includes aspartame which I think is in most sugar free soft drinks in Aus?

Ok I'm trying to post the link to the thread so you can read the whole thing but for some reason when I'm trying to include a link in my posts now they just disappear [emoji53]....
That thread was questioning fake sugars like stevia for pcos diet but I'm pretty sure it would be for overall. Above is the link to the thread link shown in the screenshot I took. Worth a read [emoji4]
:agree: yes virtually all of us have given up sodium and the blue swayers are not going nuts with it, but our results have only gone up since we did!Quote:
