What are your sway plans and when do you plan to start them? :)

Hi, I'am planning on trying in Jan. I have no idea my sway plans yet I just signed up and I'am so overwhelmed with all the imformation.
There is a lot of information! How are you coming along with your research? I had to take notes on things to do for me, things to do for DH. I have to read, then re-read to try to remember it all, lol.
I feel like I'am constantly confusing myself lol. Knowing Dh I dont think he would do anything to help the sway along, he probably doesnt even want us to sway. I want to try and do the diet as well as I can. I would be ok with another boy this will just be our last and I would really love a girl. I'am not sure yet what supplements and stuff to take either.
Its crazy that its like studying for a test! LOL For me at least. I want to get a good feel for it so when we start prepping and go for it, then it will be like second nature. KWIM? I might be able to get DH to do some supplements, but not sure. I'm thinking I'd rather not count on him and plan my sway accordingly. :/
We are starting around April, maybe a bit sooner or a bit later :)
Planning on starting to try late Dec and into the new year!
I am going to get the personalized plan from Atomic, as I am a worrier and for sure will raise my testosterone levels if I try to figure out something myself....
Will be happy for a healthy baby, but would LOVE a little sister for my boys!!
Hello! I'm also currently thinking of TTC in Jan 2014, unless we plan a trip to Australia in March and then it will be straight after that. I don't think we can afford Australia so at this stage it looks like TTC in Jan. I've already started to do less weights and more cardio and have lost 3kg! Hope I'm not peaking too early but I'm only at the gym 4 times a week at the moment and my average calorie intake over a week works out at 2000 a day. So lots to play with in terms of upping the exercise and eating fewer calories (and different food).
I'm reading all I can and doing the obsessing now, rather an later. I will likely purchase a personal sway plan and the meal planner as I want to support this fab site, plus need all the help I can get :)
Good luck to all - and great to have some future TTC buddies!
I still have to convince DH to try for a third but I think he will agree between Jan-Mar. I just ordered a sway plan as while I would love a girl and am willing to put some work in to a sway I'm not really interested in researching and figuring out all the details myself. Plus I want to have it all figured out so that when DH does say yes we can start that day :D :D Good luck everyone!
I just bought one too. I'm so excited about it. I've been researching for the past year, but I think its really given me a lot of reassurance and a sense of relief knowing I have the extra support and information. Not much has changed from what I was planning, but I did change some things around like how we will approach the big attempt and leading up too it. Also I wasn't sure about the whole refresh/replense, how to use it, if I should use it, which to use, etc. and that was addressed so I don't need to bother so much with figuring it out. Big stress relief I didn't realize I had. It was also nice to hear what I'm already doing that works and doesn't need to be changed. :) I keep saying I will be trying in Jan, but really I think we will make our attempt in Feb. I like the thought of the due date being at the end of October/beginning of Nov. if I get pg. ;)Quote:

A bit later than the title of this thread but we are planning to TTC in May '14, just after our littlest boy's 3rd birthday. I'm so excited and can't wait! :)
Hi ladies,
I have purchased a customised plan and we are hoping to start ttc a girl in February. I am slowly easing into the LE diet and trying to absorb all the swaying info I can. I look forward to getting to know you all.

I'm hoping to TTC Girl from March onward. I dont think I can get too strict with diet as I am known to be obsessive, but I've dropped meat and breakfast and try to keep within the minimums. I'll get serious with the 'weightloss' at the start of Feb. My son will be 18 months in March so I'm still wondering if we should wait a bit longer, but on the otherhand it can take a few minths to get a sticky.
HI all! I had previously posted (on the 1st page I think :) How is everyone doing with their planning/sways???
We are planning on making our 1st attempt in a couple of days :nails:
Praying hard for a lil pink to add to our family!!
P.S. bought the personalized plan as well and LOVE it!!
Best of luck to you all!!
We will be making our attempt next cycle! Eeeeeeee!!!

Good luck for your attempts! My last BCP is on 10th January and DH back from hols on 20th January so first attempt coming soon too :))) sticky, healthy pink dust to all please, everything crossed!
Yay for the personalised plan - atomic rules!
Hubs & I will be trying on our Feb 2014 ovulation for the first time ever! :) Gonna try & sway pink... already started the diet, although I've posted another couple threads about being confused with the dairy aspect. So we shall see how the information goes with that. None the less, EXCITED & Terrified all at the same time! :ttcgirl::fingers::nails:
Good luck everyone!! We are going to space 2 and 3 farther apart so I am thinking not until after the 2's birthday in August. Although right now I think both of us are not ready to think about having a third. I love the idea of it just not sure about the reality of three little ones :D
We r going to bahamas in march so hoping to have our first attempt there by the beach when we r nice n relaxed :-)

Good luck to everyone! Originally we were thinking of TTC pink starting around March when DS turns 2 - but now I think it will be later (maybe the summer?) since I am purchasing the custom plan and I want to give time for myself to get ready!
I was originally shooting for Dec, but life/stuff got in the way. March looks like the go-zone for us, though! Can’t wait!
Hey girls I am going to join you all. I hope and pray that all of our hopes and wishes come true. I am excited now since my cycles are pretty regular now to move forward. I have bought the plan a while back and recently followed up with atomic for support. I know myself I feel better having atomic with me through this as I know she has the knowledge that I don't. Even though I have read and read it helps me knowing atomic is one message away helping me. I have accepted I will be happy with a healthy baby but my heart desires a baby girl. I am open to whatever god gives me as I know each and every baby is truly a miracle. I am on board with you girlies
Hi ladies, I am so glad that there are others to join going on this swaying journey too, I hope all of us this year will get :DD: I myself have bought a plan from atomic and find myself trying to get my head around it the diet, as some of the foods from the u.s. are different to the foods the diets suggests from here in the UK. Atomic has kindly sent me a link to a thread that the UK ladies where doing a list of foods that where like for like, I am blessed with two beautiful sons one is 12 soon the other is a baby of 11wks I am so blessed as he is a little angel and very content he was a girl sway from the Shettles method, I am still very obsessed with still wanting a daughter so badly!!! And want my gorgeous son & baby boy to have alittle sister the thought has never left me and never will trying to give this my best shot as this is our last I pray we will all get :pregnant:
together :fx:

I purchased a personalised plan.

Good luck I am getting excited already by the thought of it :nails:its such a mental journey it's nutts!!! Especially as me and Dh are keeping it a secret to our selves I can't wait now too, waiting on Af to arrive to get the clear blue fertility monitor out to do a practice run lol! :pinksperm:
My DH and I are keeping it to ourselves also.
No practice runs for us so my :fx:
I have been stalking GD for a while now.So much information ��
I have two little boys 3 and 1 and would love a little girl.
Same lol! I have been stalking here for years too, I originally wanted to go down the HT way, but we seriously don't have the money at all, my little baby boy would of been our last but I can't live with myself if I don't take that chance again one last time, I don't want to have any regrets I want it so bad it hurts my heart, lol! As I typing this I am looking at a little pink top I have bought waiting to put on my :DD: am I crazy!!! I can dress them up as boy girl twins if it happens really soon, lol! my gorgeous baby boy is so good I don't know I got him, he's an angel which is why I am going to go for it, you only get one life :BabyBoy:
I am so excited my Af has arrived today!! :happy: lol! I am going to start a practice run of my clear blue fertility monitor this month I hope they aren't as useless as the opk's sticks!! Lol! :think:
Hey girls!
I'm pretty nervous as well;i stopped my bcp and now my af arrived 3 days ago!
Pfff i't's freaking me out which does'nt help..
I have a wonderful son of 16 months, and as we want 2 children, this is it..
Thát makes it more stressful.
How are you doing with diet and exercise?
I eat no meat at all, trying to limit snacking, few fruit, faily vegetables, no breakfast.
Not sure about exercise, as i already ovulate in about 2 weeks! Should i start now?
It will be too late for this attempt..
Trying to relax ; )
Hi Dragonmother, did you purchase a personalised plan from Atomic? I think exercise is good to do if you can, in order to help lose a steady amount of weight cardio favours pink you are trying to shrink muscle mass not build it though, diet will hopefully lower ph, its like exercise mind when looking after a little one lol! I would do what you can, I am only managing to do 1 to 2 times a week as I am looking after my husband, son, and 12 wk old baby and back at work too!!, we are trying to trick our body's into thinking times are hard and you would be better off producing pink when ttc goodluck everyone!! :fingers::fingers:
Thanks Lolo!
Yes i bought the plan, and really trying to follow diet and exercise.
I'm cycling indoors on a hometrainer for an hour every day in average speed with no resistance. Hope this will contribute..
I can imagine you're very busy!! We are the queens of multitasking!
Im sure you'll do good with diet.
Im doing ok, but im not able to prepare anything other than bread for lunch..
Im afraid of eggs as well( lol)..
When i strictly ate eggs meat,and fruit, vegetables and nuts only when conceiving my son i ate a lot of eggs..
But that was an unintended hardcore boy sway ; )
What are you eating for lunch?
Goodluck!
Hello beautiful mummy's!
I think I can officially join a "TTC" thread which is SO exciting. I purchased a customised plan in Oct 2013 and having been eating LE and taking the recommended supp's since then. I haven't been exercising but have lost 6 kilos/13 pounds and have dropped from a BMI of 20 down to 18 so I can't really afford to lose much more. I'm currently on day 39 of my cycle and booked in to get blood tests done next cycle to HOPEFULLY start clomid next cycle so we can TTC!
Reading this back I'm feeling okay about my sway but I know when it comes time to actually trying I'll freak a bit LOL! I hope, wish and pray we all get our longed for little girls xx
Hi Dragonmother, I have been vegetarian for 13 years, almost vegan I would say lol! I don't eat eggs they make me feel Ill lol! I am only managing cardio once a week better than nothing I suppose. I have fallen off the wagon thou with the diet I am blaming my Af trying to get back into it, I am having two wraps for lunch with low fat humus fresh basil leaves and baby tomatoes and peeled cucumber it's hard isn't it getting ideas for food it's easily done to fall off, I think for me I have to allow myself a cheat here and there ��
Hi flowergirl, I am naturally thin or was before my pregnancy my son is now 3 months old, my bmi before was 18, now I am not sure I put on 3 stone after birth I was 10 stone 6. now I am 9 stone 11 so its slowly falling off I think baby weight is the hardest to fall off I think, may I ask why you are having Clomid is that because your weight being lower its stopped Ovulation? Clomid sways pink too doesn't it? :pinksperm:
Hi girls!
Can i join you?
I have been started dieting fot the last 3 weeks en hopefully doing our first attempt in 3 weeks. That depends of my cycle, wich is kinda long..I might need some Clomid, like i did when conceiving DS1.
The diet is going ok, i allready lost 6 kilo in 3 weeks. So i'm not doing anything extra, i'm afraid i might stop ovulating if i lose too much. So i'm a couch potato lol.
My DH is using all the supps, and i am too. I sometimes miss my breakfast but thinking of a litle girl makes it doable...
Hi Lolo,
I've always had long, irregular cycles and I can't pinpoint that I actually ovulate at all (at least since trying to monitor it since Sept 2013 - even before losing weight). My pH never seems to go over 4-4.4, I don't get any EWCM and have never had a pos OPK so although clomid sways pink so I'm more eager to get it, I'm pretty sure I have a genuine need for it. I saw my doctor last year and she wanted to see that I'd been TTC for 6 months prior to even ordering this blood test I get next cycle. Obviously I haven't actually "tried" to fall preg because I'm following my plan and wanted to give it time to change my body chemistry before DTD so I am praying so hard that my bloods show I do need the clomid because I'm afraid the only way I'll ovulate now is if I put on a several kilo's which would be devastating after all these months of LE. x
You're going so well Dutchgirl! I lost the weight fairly quickly too and have just been in maintenance mode waiting for the clomid process to hopefully start. When you had clomid for your DS what do you think you did that swayed blue? I have two boys and am forever dreaming of knowing what it's like to experience having a little girl... Thank you for the reminder that that's why we skip breakfast! I also find it hard to miss meals - especially brekky - and sometimes lose sight of why I'm doing it because I've been on LE for what feels like ages now! So exciting that your attempt is so soon, I would love to have ours in Feb too, just waiting for this crazy long cycle to end so I can get my bloods done (day 40 today!!) x
It's not all beer and skittles is it!! Lol! It's hardwork the diet I am managing the skipping of breakfast but it's hard not to snack, I am not sure if I can last at the diet I am trying I hope we all get there sooner rather than later :fx:
Me too Lolo! I'm coming to a point now where I'm just ready to TTC and hopefully fall pretty quickly :ttcgirl:
