I'm a mom of 3 beautiful girls and I have talked to a few moms already that are TTC BLUE in October and I was hoping this thread can be for us and any others that are TTC BLUE in the near future that already have a few daughters. I just purchased a plan from atomic and I'm looking forward to getting it. This will be a good way to support each other and remain in contact!
I ll be ttc blue in this october

Hi jana & everyone! Im also preparing to ttc beginning in september. I have a 15 month old girl. What are you doing to prepare? Have you started swaying tactics? Ive started taking supplements but im slacking on the diet. Lol
Hi ruby. So far all I have done is read through Atomic's essays and learned as much about swaying as possible! I just purchased a plan and I will be following that as soon as I get it. I just got an example of the HE diet and I think that will be by far the most challenging part of my sway. It's completely opposite of how I normally eat. I'm also trying to visualize myself with a healthy baby boy. I feel that that is important.
Auzair, I'm thinking of starting my diet in August too but I will see when atomic says to. I have this feeling I'm going to gain some weight! LOL!
Good luck! I think ill start really working on the diet in august too. Hope I can stick with it, its not how I eat at all.
Janamomof3girls good luck to u and all other ladies may v have baby boy :)i personally think 2 and a half month are enough for diet i have also read somewhere that french gender diet book also says to do diet 2.5 month xxxx

I'm preparing for a change! Have any of you started your supplements yet? If so, which ones?
Janamomof3girls i started taking folic acid vitamin b12since may and also taking vitamin d 1000iu i ll start fish oil from august hopefully
I personally think taking alot of vitamins for long time can also harm

That sounds like a good plan. I'm not used to eating high calories on a daily basis so that's why I'm thinking of doing the diet six weeks ahead. I should go and get the folic acid. I might do that in the morning. Also, I read that October is a great month to conceive a boy. I didn't know that until today. Although, I was conceived in October and so was my mom and her 2 sisters LOL!
Yes thats a good idea to have folic scid from now n yes i have also read oct is boy month as far as we are taking high calorie diet.after researching a bit in my eyes diet is basic factor.lolxxx just want to tell my husband n his 4 male cousins were concieved in oct ;) all we can do is to try our best to raise odds of our desired gender n all that happens is God's willing :)
How about you ?? Is this ur first sway?? Or u tried shettles method or something before ??

This is my first sway. I didn't plan my other children. My DD1 was conceived when I was 19 and my other girls were conceived when I didn't go pick up my birth Control. This will be my only planned baby. I never thought I would have 4 children. I only wanted one. I was always more of a career oriented person. They have changed my mind! I was never surprised that they were girls. I instinctively knew. I didn't have gender disappointment with any of them. I know my husband was a little disappointed with the DD3 but he got over it very quickly. We just adore our girls. All 3 girls look just like their daddy and he is very proud of that. We actually make great girl parents. My younger brother found out that his first baby was a boy when my DD3 was 8 months old. I was very envious. I couldn't believe I felt that way. I secretly cried! It showed me that I did long for a son. My husband recently got a promotion at his job and we moved into a big 4 bedroom house. I decided to give it one more try. I started researching and I found this sight. If I have another girl after this sway, than I know that I was only meant to be a girl mom. Which is fine because our girls are AMAZING! I would be thrilled to have a son of my own and have the opportunity to raise both genders. What about you? How many children do you have? Is this your first sway?
Jana u gave me confidence by telling ur story i m in my mid 20's n have a little 2yr old girl i just simply love her i want to have one or two sons to complete my family earlier when my daughter was born after that i started researching about boy conception then i came to know about shettles method on many sites like babycentre my last mc was not a planned baby.this year my daughter became 2 then i started researching keenly n came to know it is no longer reliable,after that i found researches about diet n gender n started following it i have read diff sites but atomic essays made a great sense to me n i decided to follow her :)
I also read alot on babycentre about conception supplement Pregnacare conception (its a UK brand)mostly leads to boy pregnancy n i ll also take it the month i ll ttc :)
Me n my husband heartly want to have sons but uf we get daughter we ll also welcome her.but i do pray alot to have boy may b twin boys ;)

I love that we are in a similar situation. Thank you for sharing. Left side is for boys!!!
Hey ladies,
I started my supplements about 16 days ago and I feel great. I'm taking folic acid, multivitamin, fish oil, vitamin D, wheat grass tablets and green tea. I never drank green tea before and I'm totally addicted to it. My husband and I plan on ttc a boy this October and we have a spoiled soon to be four year old princess. I want to start my diet hardcore 8 weeks prior to our attempt but I've been exercising a lot more and eating better now. I am nervous to sway, I feel confident most of the time but I have a fear of disappointment. How are you ladies feeling?
Beckmom89 sometimes when i read successful sways my hopes increase n i get confidence that my sway ll defintely work but as soon as i read just a single failed sway i start thinking what ll happen if sway failed,this is human nature :) so b positive n positive things ll happen God ll give us what we deserve :)do ur best to increase odds of boy

Hi ladies - I jut signed up for a plan and am going to TTC October I think. I'm really not looking forward to the HE diet - I'm very controlled about my weight and it sounds really fattening. I know this is just not important at all - but it is going to affect my mood a lot to gain weight. Obviously the sway matters more, but I don't look forward to piling on pounds I just lost after having my daughter. I'm hoping there might be some way round it... Probably not. High cal does sound pretty essential. Ugh.
Are you all taking pregnacare (prenatal) vitamins now? I think one of you said they sway blue. I have some, but I won't take anything without Atomic's advice.
Very best of luck to you all.
Your supplements sound great. I feel the same way as Auzair! I wish there was a "magic bullet" but there isn't. I hope all of us are successful sways. My grandmother and great grandmother both had 3 girls and a boy last so I know it can happen. But I don't want to get my hopes up too much.Quote:

This is a great feeling to have all of us moms supporting each other. Most moms I know have mixed gender children so it's nice to have others understanding me.
I know a high calorie high nutrient diet may sway blue and that might affect my weight however with smart calories like fruits and vegetables and exercise maybe the weight gain doesn't have to be so bad. Just think in some of these fruit juices there are like 110 calories in a 8 oz cup. I'm losing some weight now before our attempt and my hardcore diet begins. I have a friend that is diabetic and just had a son. She eats every 1-2 hours, very nutrient dense, protein and complex carb diet, fruits and veggies, nuts, yogurt, lots of water, exercises and weighed 110 pounds, classic he diet. Her post pregnancy weight is 118! I think it's crucial to have the nutrients and know how to acquire them.
That is very true beckmom89! I usually eat a high calorie meal with small portions! Except for dinner when I eat pig portions. I think I might lose about 10 pounds if possible before I start my HE diet. That way it'll be easier.
Have you all bought personalized swaying plans? I've managed to access the 21 day sample blue diet and the 5 day diet, but I think there are other sources of information I'm not finding. Could any of you help me? I'd be so grateful.
It's good to hear this 'nutrient rich' / 'smart calorie' food talk - makes it sound less like you have to stuff yourself. I feel really confused about the role of exercise, too. I do high intensity interval running with some resistance circuits x3 per week and I feel fit and bouncy and more muscular than usual. I deliberately started the resistance circuits to increase testosterone and I've stopped doing long runs in exchange for intervals for just 25 mins. But now I have a feeling exercise can sway pink, even if it's intervals and weights... Can't wait to get my plan and resolve some of these questions. Any insights from you other blue swayers would be appreciated.
Would losing 10lbs make you underweight before you start the HE diet? Is that ok? I'm interested in your thinking here. One way I could handle all the HE weight gain is by getting underweight first, but I suspect that would increase acidity a lot and you wouldn't necessarily even it out to an optimal point with the HE. Or am I wrong? Hope so!Quote:

Have you went through some of the essays that atomic wrote? They are in the free sections. 10lbs would not make me underweight. I would still be within average weight. I am about 5'4 and 137 lbs. I have a big boned frame so at this weight right now, I look smaller than someone else at my height and weight. I have read that Atomic says it's ok to lose weight before a blue sway but I'm not sure that she would want anyone to go underweight. You could ask atomic what she thinks but I have seen some successful sways where they have lost weight before starting the HE diet.
No i hav'nt bought personalized planQuote:

Giving up. It would be amazing if this package was all just emailed. I wonder if it can be...
There is a green box that says custom sway resources. There is a sub forum that says TTC blue resources. It's one of those threads
there is a new, green forum that appears to you and you can access it that way. WHen you get your plan there will be a link in it to the swaying resources as well.
Hi - are you all out there still? I'm getting my head round the HE diet and I'm ready to start my supplements. How long are you all planning to be on the diet before ttc? I'm thinking of doing the HE perfectly for 6 weeks but that may not be long enough...
Hello!! I have just bought my supps and began taking them today. Atomic says 6 weeks is great for the diet so that's when I will begin my diet too!! I guess we will all start around the same time!!
