June & July blue swayers chat thread!!!!

I know its a bit late in the month but I thought we should start a thread for blue swayers to help each other out and cheer on in june!! I've seen some new ladies around so hopefully now we have a base we can swap tips!!

For any new ladies basically we are trying to improve nutrition and body condition in order to tell our bodies we are top of yhe foodchain and need to be bareing sons! So the main daily recomendations are a good prenatal so all our essential vitamins are up to date, a good fish oil to cover the omegas mainly 3s and a top tip isvto also have a wheatgrass type supplement to give your body a nice nutritional kick!
Some weight training exervises a few times a week will again increase testosterone and body condition, this doesnt have to be manic and every little helps!

Please feel free to ask away and we'll try our hardest to help and keep youcompany along the way:)

well said ELP

Just giving this a bump for the weekend:)

Ive noticed that exercise has been popping up so I thought Id add mine here! For me I just went with at home weight training, I dont have any weights around yhe house so instead opted for toddlers! I would once or twice a day pick up one of the LOs and lift them above my head then squat repetition about 10-15 times increasing as I felt stronger. Best thing about this is that after a while your weights, come to you!!! and say lift me! lol, so you cant forget:bigsmile:
Plus, when walking the kids to school I would lift the back wheels of the pushchair off the ground, thw front wheels would try and do their own thing so would create extra resistance traing;) and it just weighed a ton in itself!
In the evening if watching tv in bed just lift a leg an inch up, feel the burn, and if dh pops out set yourself to hold both legs up an inch or two for as long as hes gone,flippin hard!

So even without any equipment you can beef up nicely and without anyone else noticing what your doing!

Hi Ladies,

Would Barley Grass be ok to drink instead of wheatgrass supplement? they are very similar, I have alway drunk it with pear & apple juice.
What are your thoughts on Cardio when swaying for blue?
Prenatal I am thinking of taking BlackMores Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Gold but I am really unsure about it because of all the other supplement I have started & don't want to over do it & take to much after my last miss hap with Flaxseed,fish oil & EPO & not O at all this mouth but am very happy to say the red flag is up in my house now.....lol


Thanks for your feed back:happy:

I'm pretty sure barley graas is a big:agree: aswell. Do you want to list the full list that you are using/considering 5BG, personally I would recommend the wheat/ barley grass, an oil to be on the safest side fish oil, and the prenatal, then if you want to add anything like a coq10 for egg quality or B vit of anti oxident then they are all optional extras but at least you know you had your bases covered with the main 3:agree:

I also read on another thread that you run 6km a day? I do not know the recommendations for cardio but to me this looks pretty high, would you consider cutting it back and instead bulking yourself up with weight training for a while, just to be on the safe side??

My understanding is that weights sway blue, cardio pink, so I'd stick with the weights. I generally like lifting, but was doing more cardio than ever when I got pregnant with my daughter. I'm not going anywhere near cardio this time around and I'm lifting HEAVY weights, not the little 5lb pink girl weights. :-)

Hi Ladies, I would in a heart beat give up my cardio & do more weights for my sway, absolutely ! I can go back to the cardio later, How long before my sway should I stop the cardio? Now? planning to sway in August.
What do you think No cardio or just cut it right back to just a little? I am thinking to not do it at all just to be safe.
I do water aerobics one night a week , may just do that & no other cardio, what do you think??? I have five girls already & if I have to give up the cardio I will.
This is my list - 1000g fish oil,Vit D 1000mcg,which was highly recommend for a blue sway from one of the other ladies here,prenatal,folic acid,D3 1000mg,CoQ10,fertile CM, & royal Jelly .
I have Question what is LP ? One of the other Ladies said that she took B6 to lengthen her LP.
Thanks for your feed back.

Check with AS on the Fertile CM and royal jelly. I was using FertilAid and Fertile CM when I got pg with my daughter, vitex is in one or both and it strongly sways pink. Might want to think about adding a wheatgrass supplement, too, and the boy drinks.
LP = luteal phase, the time after you O and before your period starts. B6 helps lengthen it, I take it for that.
I'm going strict weights, but AS says some cardio is fine, particularly if you don't want to gain a lot of weight on the HE diet.

:-)

Hokievol , I am with you on the weights, HEAVY.... I don't do pink girl weights as well...lol That made me smile

Hi Ladies ,I have been having Lemon water & Ural , I have drunk it (LW) for years first thing in the morning with warm water, Does it make any difference if the water is cold or warm?
The Ural has really helped with my PH.
Thanks for the feed back about the royal jelly & Fertile CM would love to find out more about this.
:DD::DD::DD::DD::DD: swaying :DS:

Hi! Barley grass is also fine. :agree:

I like the Blackmores because at least one of htem has iodine - I was trying to look up which one without much success so I think it would be easier for you to just look at the bottles yourslef. I would love it if all prenatals worldwide had iodine in them.

Re the cardio - moderate cardio is ok for blue and can help prevent excess weight loss. Max. cardio anyone should do is 45 min a day, 4-5 days a week (and a little less may be better.) in addition to your weight lifting. weight lifting is mandatory, cardio is optional. The type of cardio that builds muscle like climbing steps is great. YOu may want to do soemthing like Taebo which is cardio and musclebuilding together at the same time, just don't go over 40-45 min and don't do it every day - you need time for your body to recover.

I am not a super huge fan of Ural but if you've been having it daily for some time, then you're prob. accustomed to it. i do not believe the water temperature makes any difference to your baby's gender.

I have mixed feelings towards royal jelly - some people have actually died from taking it and you never know if you are one of the people who will have a neg. reaction until you take it. I think you can get everything in royal jelly, in a B complex vitamin (or a prenatal with b vitamins in it.)

Fertile CM has backfired for a lot of people. The L-arginine has a tendency to raise T levels at the expense of E levels and then your CM can actually dry up!! If you're getting a decent amount of CM then I'd just stick with the barleygrass and lemon water (and ural if it's working for you) and save the Fertile CM unless you are not getting anything with the other stuff.

Thanks atomic,
you have given me alot to think about, I think I might just stay away from the royal jelly, not sure what to take for CM because I don't have much at all.
Wow..... I don't want to be one of those Ladies that Fertile CM has backfired on don't know what to do there, Seriously thinking to do no cardio, just don't want to take the chance.
Thanks for your feed back

I have seen a big improvement in my CM with the supplements AS recommended. We also plan on using PreSeed for the week before and during our attempts as a lube, it sways blue.

Five a lot of ladies, me included have had great results with fish oil and EPO. I also used preseed with my attempts but was having a lot more EWCM with the supps then normal for me 3-4 days of it instead of just 1-2 days

Good luck lovely ladies!!! :cheerteam:

Thanks Ladies for your feed bacK, it's great

How much pressed do you use on your attempt? can you just use as much as you want?

I dont know anything about the pressed myself 5 , sorry:)

I did use the Royal Jelly though, first time as capsules, 2nd time as a tablet combo with bee pollen and propolis. We have no family history of any bee allergens so I was happy to give them a go, but as AS says you Can develop an allergy to anything as i have found last year with a harsh reaction to kiwis! which I never had before, apparantly aswell I was told that if you have a kiwi alergy you can also be allergic to latex! Luckily I dont have much to do with latex lol:bigsmile:. So again its on the personal choice list:)

I just used the applicator at 1g and I found that this was enough with my EWCM but you can use more if you need too.

Thanks ELP, & Pearl327 for your reply, it sure is a hard one to know what to go with because everyone is different , I have been having bee pollen on my cereal every morning.
Thanks for the feed back, :happy:

Sorry I should have been more pacific about the lemon water I was wondering if warm or cold makes a difference to PH or CM? I don't think so but just wanted to make sure.:happy:

No difference with warm or cold lemon water. Fish oil helped my ewcm.

Hi ladies! My husband and I are attempting this upcoming week :) For those who have successfully swayed for a boy or are, would you recommend using protection during the weeks/days leading up to ovulation/fertile window? Or acting as if each time is an attempt with Preseed, laying down for 30 min., etc? Thanks so much!

we recommend using no protection and bd'ing every 2-4 days

Yep what Dloui said. Act like every time is an attempt and DTD every 2-4 days and get a couple of attempts in during your fertile window

Thank you!!! So if I'm scheduled to ovulate around 27th, is it bad that we haven't been able to DTD yet this week? My husband is on business and I'm having him release. Will be back tomorrow! That's ok to start then DTD and acting as if each is an attempt, right? Thakns so much :))

yes that is fine

goodluck CSA

Thank you so much ladies! Another question- what would you do in this scenario? My husband has been away a lot this week with a new job, so we have not been able to DTD. :( He has been releasing every 2-4 days though! I still haven't gotten a positive OPK yet (totally have signs and my cycle is regular, so will probably be sometime today or tonight)... Do you think its okay that we just get our 2-3 attempts AFTER it becomes positive or do you think we should have DTD on O-3 or O-2? :/ We really aren't in a super rush so I want to maximize our chances and do it right! Should we wait til next month to get more unprotected attempts in? With our daughter (not swaying), we only did one attempt after OPK was positive. Thank you so much :)

I would bd as much as possible from now, especially if you know you are due to ov soon, fill those crypts lol!!

Hello! Quick question.. Got a positive OPK on Friday evening and had one attempt that night, one in the AM, and one last night. As of 8am this morning, I still have a positive OPK. Would you recommend another attempt or is 3 enough? :) Thank you!

Csa if you and DH are up for it then why not. It is not going to hurt and may even help

Hi all - I'm new here. I've searched for a while looking for what EPO stands for, and can't find it - can anyone help me out with that one? :happy:

Hi and welcome :)
EPO stands for evening primrose oil

Ah - thank you!

Welcome Dreamin :) Any other questions just feel free to ask:agree:

As its quite quiet here Ive just added a July into the title so to keep this thread going, save starting a new one!

Thanks! Just got AF today, hoping this is the month! :fx:

Good luck Dreaminginblue. I hope this is your month.

So I'm posting everywhere because I'm freaking out a little. Well, a lot if I'm being honest.
Swaying moved my ovulation a whole week. I'm glad I started using my OPKs early or I would have missed it. The problem is I just have one dose of Mucinex under my belt and haven't started the Pre-Seed yet. I had planned to do both all week in prep for ovulation on Saturday or Sunday, which is what it would have been normally. Do we wait until next month? I don't have super awesome CM naturally, so I really wanted to use those for awhile before we started. Crap! My fertility chart is up-to-date if you want to take a look.
Overall, moving my ovulation would be a good thing since I have a short LP IF (and that's a big IF) AF stays away for awhile.
What do I do??!!

Hoki, how long have you been swaying and what have you done?? I have had 2 succesful blue sways with little to zero cm:agree: First time I was able to use some robitusen on attempt time. second time nothing with zero noticable cm, plus a real quick one time jump and dump attempt. If your background sway is good I personally would go for it as you could be waiting forever to feel things are perfect.
