Hi
I thought it would be a nice idea to start a kiwi thread so we can compare notes.
If anyone has any ideas on what foods and drinks they are using and what brands, please share.
Also is anyone taking supps and what brand? I live in a small town so am very limited to what i can get and also refuse to have a credit card so sont get to buy online :sad:
Look forward to getting to know you!
I used calcifort last time. It has magnesium and calcium citrate. It was expensive but you can buy it a big container which works out heaps cheaper than the smaller amounts. I did buy mine on-line, but you could ask at a chemist/health food shop and they may be able to get you in the larger container. I will find the details and post them for you. I did however just get another cheaper calcium/magnesium supplement when I ran out of calcifort but I didn't realise until after I was preggy that it was calcium carbonate and I read somewhere that calcium citrate is better to sway for a girl. Cranberry tablets are really expensive but I found Red Seal cranberry powder really cheap at the supermarket. I was going to post the details on here to make sure that they were ok as I think you need to be careful that they don't contain potassium. I just got the vitex from a normal health food shop. I will post the details of what I used when I get the baby to sleep. I have seen sylk and acijel on NZ websites. I think you can buy them at chemists though as well but I still need to look into this. cheers
I got OPK's off trademe and I think you can buy pH strips from there as well?
I have got some of the supps at home, havnt started taking them yet but willl put the brand etc on here later after work and you could double check and see if they are right! lol. Yip i have seen the sylk and acijel at chemist so that will go in the trolley, what are your thoughts on the digi ph tester? its alot of money so im not sure! I use to go on treasures site but hated the new layout so havnt been on for a couple of years now!
So where are you based?
Christchurch aye, I hope your home is ok after all the shakes! Im a coaster so only a few hours away.
Just replying from previous thread.
I like the idea of a weekly menu, maybe we could both come up with some meals to go on there!
So how old are your boys? How have you found peoples reactions to swaying? Ive found its better to keep it to myself so thats why i just talk about it online rather than to friends and family.
What is your opinions on the pos and neg ions? also the bio rythym charts? I have found that chart to be quite accurate for myself and a few others i know. So i will be adding that into my plan. I would ideally like to have my perfect plan all sorted then ttc.
I didnt really try last time to sway apart from taking a few supps so this time i will be giving it 100 percent
Luckily we are ok where I live. We know people who have lost their houses/businesses and who had very close calls i.e. in buildings that collapsed. Not cool at all. Yes I was looking at the Treasures website and based my sway for a girl on this, i.e. no banana's, cranberry, calcium, magnesium, cut off. My husband has a sister so I was thinking that a loose sway may work if his parents had a boy and a girl and I was hoping it wouldn't take to much to get a girl. I am not sure about the pH tester. I work in a lab and wonder if it has a big probe you actually would need a lot of sample to get an accurate pH. This may be tricky if you take supplements to dry everything up. Can you tell me what pH meter you are looking at. I have a 4 year old and just had another boy - 8 weeks old. But my hubby is keen to try again for a girl so we would need to have a much closer age gap this time as I am getting old. So we were thinking of starting to try at end of year and into early next year. Trying not to think about such a close age gap but I think we would regret not trying one last time for a girl. My older boy loves children so I am sure another boy would be cool but I really want to try my hardest for a little girl. I have just found this site so I am still needing to read up about pos and neg ions? also the bio rhythm charts. I found some ion watches on trademe so I was going to look into these and see if they could be used for girl swaying. I would be keen to come up with a meal plan so I will start researching. Looks like there is a lot of information so may take a while to work it out so would be good to help each other with this. cheers
I have had very hurtful reactions from people in regards to me swaying for a girl. My 2 sisters and my husbands sister all have boys and girls so I really don't think people who have their girl understand how heart breaking it is not to have your own daughter. My twin sister has twin boys the same age as my older son. She didn't sway and had a girl 5 weeks before my new son who I tried to sway pink for. Its been a bit of a tough time especially when her husband was bagging me for swaying and telling my husband that I was horrible because I really wanted a girl. He forgets that he was very vocal about wanting a girl before they found out what they were having. I think if you have mixed genders you will never understand that people feel upset if they will never have a son or daughter. My dad also made it very clear he wanted more granddaughters and not anymore grandsons. So I feel weird around him and don't even want him to hold my new son at all. He kept on saying to me that 'you never know they may have got your scan wrong and you are really having a girl'!! I try not to think about it but it does make me upset and I wonder what the reaction will be if I have a third son?
Jude, i just read your post and it made me feel so sad for you. I truly believe that your dad and family would welcome another boy into the family! But in some ways i can relate because when i was pregnant (after swaying girl but didn't find out), my partner's dad said he was hoping it would be a boy as they already had two girls (my partner's sister has two girls). I remembered thinking at the time "well, it IS a girl, so you better be ready to be disappointed!". It turned out i was pregnant with a boy (we didn't find out at the scans) and after the labour etc the thought crossed my mind that he would be satisfied with a grandson but he never said anything about being excited by having a grandson. I don't know why. Anyway, you just never know! I am sure your boys are beautiful and your family should be very lucky to have them in the family. I am sure you are a great mum to those boys too. I hope you get that daughter you long for! hugs, babushka. xx
I'll sticky this for you guys!!!
Hi Kiesse, I have had a look at the bio rhythmic charts. Mine seem to be the opposite for my boys i.e. conceiving in strong girl zones (I think I read it correctly?). What sites are you using to calculate your bio rhythmic charts? I also conceived both my boys in the new moon which is meant to sway girl? I wonder if I am back to front for these? Very weird. Also do you know if conceiving in Sept/Oct for us in NZ sways girls. That's what the girls on here say but other websites say different months? I conceived both my boys in winter so I guess I should aim for summer just so its different to my boys? I have been looking at the foods. I am very little so I am not sure if the starvation type diet would be good for me? Do you plan to do this type of diet or just eat foods from the acidic range? Also are you planning on skipping breakfast as it seems that people think this is really important to a girl sway? cheers Jude
Hi Babushka, Thank you for your post, it made me feel a lot better. People are so strange, its very hard to understand them sometimes. I think people say things and never realise how insensitive they are. Fingers crossed we both get our own little girls soon. cheers Jude
Hi Kiesse, what do you think about these for negative ions (see below link)? There are others for sale on trademe as well. Very cheap so I guess it wouldn't hurt to buy one.

There have been other watches on trademe as well. I am not sure if they are all the same or slightly different, I would need to have another look at the auctions. This is the description of one of the other actions.

Hi Jude
Sorry I have been flat out over the past few days! At work at the mo, so can only be quick but will try get on a bit later and do a decent post, i will also check out the trade me stuff.
I got preg with my boys sept and dec, i was just sort of presuming that alot of the people on here would be from the northern hemisphere so it would be opposite? not sure, see most girls i know are born in jan through to april, so this would be opposite for you again? itslike evrything is opp for you? If you send me you DOB and the dates you concieved your boys ill have a look on the bio chart thingy for you, PM me if you want, not sure if we can as i havnt ventured that far into the sight yet.
Lol i am small too, actually i have gained a few kg in the last month or two! but i am around the 55kg mark usually, so a size 8-10 I never eat breakfast anyway, i usually ahve a huge morning tea at 10am lol. but i am going to make a meal plan, skip breakfast and have first snack at 11 which will be something like a muslie bar or something around the same portion, just enought o take the huger edge off, will suss out the right fruits and have those as snacks then pasta/rice dishes for tea but will have to cook a separate dinner for kids! lol.
the things we do for our children, oh my! lol, well better get off here so i not get into trouble :) but will talk soon xx
Oh and i hope you and the family are ok after that last aftershock in the weekend. What part of chch you in?
Did you skip breakfast with your boys? I will hunt through my notes and see if I can pinpoint exact conception day and send you the information. With my second boy I had it all marked on the calendar so I will see if I can find it. I really want to plan a menu to follow as I am finding the diet quite confusing to work out. I am thinking of buying the French gender book (or if they have the information on here I think you can access it if you become a member). I think the French gender diet is easier on you than the in-gender diet? I will have a good look at both to see what one I think will give me the best chance of a girl. Not looking forward to not being able to eat but I still have heaps of reading to do before I actually work out with do with this diet. We are actually in Rolleston about 10 minutes out of ChCh. We were very close to the September earth quake whereas the current one is close to ChCh city. We are very lucky as the land at Rolleston has stood up to the quakes very well. Really don’t want any more though as I am not sure how much more our house can take before we get major damage. They just come out of nowhere and give you such a fright. Anyway I am still trying to get my head around all this swaying information. Just as well we wouldn’t start trying until the end of year as I think it will take me ages to try and sort out a definite plan. I start back at work end of August so would like to have something sorted by then as working with kids and a hubby is very full on and stressful. I will need to try and minimise stress, maybe that’s why I have boys as I get stressed easy and find it really hard working and juggling young kids when they get sick!!
I lived in Rangiora for about 5 years so i know the canterbury area fairly well! what a relief your house has held up!
I have never been a breakfast eater so never had it with the boys or before i concieved them but i had the perfect boy diet, always had coffee, coke etc. Loved mince pies, love mash tatas, sausages, beef, chips and lots of junk food! lol, never really drank much water so im suprised that im not the size of a house, luckily i was blessed with a fast metabolism! haha.
so im looking at changing my diet so no potatoes for me which will be my hardest part as we have them just about everynite, either mashed, roast, chips etc. I will look at cooking more past and creating like a chicken or pork salad for my dinner.
Isnt the french diet book thing all in french? it will be wuite interesting. Im like you, i need a plan for food as i love it too much, i could cope for a week but its gonna be hard changing it for so long! my main thing is to get my ph right down and keep it that way so once i figure that out ill be sweet! im gonna do that and include a few old wives tail in there too i think along with the bio chart
Hi Kiesse, what's the age gap between your two boys? I am trying to think what would be the smallest age gap I could handle? My older boy is 4 so its not been that bad as he is relatively independent. But I think a small toddler and a baby would be very hard work.
Well i concieved ds2 on Ds1 2nd birthday! so there is 2 yrs 8.5 months between them, i would have preferrd them either a little bit closer in age like 18 months or waited a year later when DS1 was 3 before concieving as DS1 was going through terrible 2s! So my ds2 will be 3 1/2 when we start ttc which is good as he will understand a little bit more as ds1 asked me to take the baby back to the hospital after a few days of bub being home! lol
I just found out yesterday i have PCOS, have had bad pains in tummy for years but nothing a bit of nurofen didnt fix but last week it was really bad so went to doc and they gave me emergency ultrasound thinking it could of been an etopic but apparently my ovaries are showing cysts so have to go back next thurs and discuss further with her and get some bloods etc done. so im not sure how this will affect my sway, have read a little bit up on it now so i may have a little bit too much testostorone as well which is sometimes part of the condition, so im a bit confused now. went off the pill to get my periods regular and now havnt had a period in 7 weeks! driving me nuts, never had irregular periods before and if this is what i have it has never affected my fertility as i have had 2 babies and one miscarriage years ago and got preg within 2 months of ttc! so yea, might have to find something to help with this, gonna go to health store i think
Hi Kiesse, sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Fingers crossed the doctors can sort you out so you start to feel better soon. I think some of the treatments for PCOS sway girl though especially if they give you Clomid? I would love to get my hands on Clomid but I think you can only get it through a specialist for fertility issues? That’s interesting that you think an 18 month or around a 4 year old age gap would be good. I have found a 4 year old age gap to be very good as my older son can help me out, is independent and understands what is going on. I really wish we had been able to have another baby earlier though as it may have been easier to have a third child i.e. I could have been on my third baby now! But I spent 16 weeks in hospital in order to save/have my older son and then needed an operation in order for me to not have to do bed rest in hospital for my second son. This time though I think we would be looking at around 18 month age gap as I am getting old and running out of time! I feel a bit sacred with such a small age gap though as I think it will be so hard with a new baby not sleeping, crying and wanting to feed all the time and having 2 other boys to look after. Anyway I will still plan my sway and we will see what the new baby does over the next few months and then make a decision if we will have another baby later in the year. When we have a bad day I think we won’t but I have a nagging feeling that I would regret not trying again for a girl. Anyway I put up a thread about calcium but haven’t had any answers. Do you know what calcium supplement you will buy? Califort has Vitamin D in it which can sway blue but I think you need vitamin D to help absorption? I would be interested to know what calcium/magnesium supplement you decide to use? It’s hard to find calcium citrate as well, I think most are calcium carbonate which I have read is more alkaline so you really want calcium citrate? Also I am not sure about bread here. Do you know if we can buy low sodium bread or would we need to make our own??
I think clomid is if there are fertility problems, which i havnt had at all in the past, so have spoken with another member and she said metformin is what she was on which can help sway pink! if i do get any clomid ill send some your way! lol
Yea i was told calcifort by someone, my health shop here is fantastic so im going to go and speak to him as he had some other stuff which he was gonna give me to try as well it has vitex and a few other things needed, so ill get the name and let ya know!
Sometimes i look at the boys and think NEVER again, the terrible twos, the tantrums the not listening but then when they give me hugs and kisses i just wanna do it all over again.
I know if i didnt have anymore i would regret it 100%, im going to give my sway 150% and if i get another boy then so be it, i guess i was just never meant to have a girl which there will be a reason for and ill be happy with that, but just need to try, third time luck isnt it!
Yes, I would LOVE to know what supplements you end up taking. If we try I really want to give it my best shot and if it’s a boy then it was meant to be and I will be happy. I am getting a sway plan together so would love to see what you finally plan to do as well when you have it all sorted. Cheers
hi Jude just wondering if you are still around and how you are getting on
