Newbie- sway plan and addicted!

Hi everyone, soo much great info! Ive been obsessed with researching haha. So i have two boys 2.5 and 1. So im doing as much as poss to get my wee girl. My plan......

Starting a diet from now, lots of coffee, no breakfast. No salt or potassium (which is a huge change because i drink coconut water).

I sm on day 4 of AF and usually ovulate around day 12. I get a sharp pain and one spot of blood. Going to jump and dump when i see that spot or maybe before (what do you think?) DH and i are super fertile. Going to use rephresh every 3days from af, sylk at lube and take cranberry, magnesium, calcium and have a glass of red wine before dtd. What do you think? ;)

I would drop the cal, mag, & cran. You don't want added nutrients. You can get same effect with baby aspirin.
Don't need the red wine but may be nice to relax!
Diet is most important. You might want to for at least 6 weeks before attempting.
R u going to frequent or abstain?
Good luck!!

Have you read about the LE diet. Way more useful then cutting sodium & potassium which may not even sway.

Also forgot to mention you should be taking folic acid. Doesn't sway but prevents neural tube defects as I'm sure you know!

I wish more ladies would try swaying with calcium and magnesium. I'm certainly not against it and if I was swaying I'd do it again!

Oh yes def will take folic! Going to doc next week to get some! Abstain!! We dont have sex often at all. I am on citalopram so my libido is superlow/non existant! Will this sway at all?

Havent read much about the le diet but will tonight. Im abit nervous because i get real hangry haha. Im a really health concious person so it will be a big change but a few weeks wont hurt hopefully. Vegetarian anyway! Any other tips? Thanks so much for replying!!

I think i will take them, ive read alot about it helping. What exactly does cranberry do? Thins the blood? How does this sway? Also forgot to say dh and i will be drinking peppermint tea and ill take antihistamines! And baby aspirin! Haha so many things to remember when i already have mummy brain! ;)

You shouldn't take baby aspirin and cranberry. Pick one. As I said before I'd choose the baby aspirin. Before you decide read about the TW theory.
Basically you want your body to think times are tough to conceive a girl that's why you lower calories added nutrients doesn't make sense.

You could have dh take licorice root. He doesn't need cal/mag.

I dont think i can do the diet, ive had eating issues for a long time and i become sooo moody and have migraines when i eat bad. Im just going to continue eating normally (trying to lose a few kgs anyway) and ill have 2glasses of cranberry from AF day 1 to sexytime. Dh can have cranberry too and the rest is for the fastest swimmer to decide ;)

Totally get it. You need to be careful if you have had eating issues. Just want to clarify - the LE is not "eating badly". You can eat 1200-1800 calories depending on the individual and you can have veggies and such. It's really about being in a losing zone which sounds like what you are doing anyway.
Just didn't want u to have the misperception that LE means eat "bad". Best of luck!

I hadnt actually researched it properly!! Still think i need to just eat as i was and cut out some salt etc. thank you :)

Be careful with the cal/mag. They can both be bad for your heart if you take too much or if you take it and don't need it. Plus with your history of migraines the mag might trip some. Mag has given me some nasty migraines in the past before I caught on that it was causing them.

Ive decided to cut a few things out the more ive thought about it! Decided to just split (between dh and i) a jar of cranberry supplements from af. Drink peppermint tea, use refresh. Abstain from AF then DtD once around ov time with ky and leave the rest to God :) . Ive been more and more content about having either gender !
