Anyone planning a Sept/Oct/Nov 2015 sway? Chat here!

Hi! Hoping to find others on the same journey as myself. We have two boys aged 3 and 1 and are planning on a pink sway later this year. I am hoping to have everything planned by July and start the LE diet then. My AF is still not the most predictable after having DS2 last year so I'll be using OPKs and I might try to temp later this spring. I can't temp at the moment as my youngest DS still wakes at night so it wouldn't be accurate. Once he starts sleeping better I'll definitely temp! I watch CM all the time, though have definitely noticed increase CM in general since having the boys. I am currently on iron tablets for anaemia and Lustral (like Zoloft) for post partum anxiety. Hoping to come off Lustral in the coming months as I am feeling much better. Contemplating asking my doctor if he might consider prescribing Clomid for my sway, I swear I will try anything that will help the sway and help keep anxiety levels at bay. I do have a hard time with anxiety in general and I'm sure that sways blue!! Any thoughts on Clomid fellow swayers?
So at the moment I am 125lbs and 5'5. I weighed 140lbs give or take when we conceived both boys, hoping I can maintain my current weight and lose another 4-5lbs on the LE diet just before our attempt. I don't know if I can give up fish for my LE diet, I eat a lot of veggies as it stands but a lot of boy friendly veg for sure so I'll need to try to change that. I definitely have a sweet tooth but I think that might be related to the lack of iron, I lack energy so my body craves sugar. My blood sugar is consistently low so that shouldn't be a problem.
As for exercise I can't lead a sedentary life with the two boys as I am chasing them daily but I get very little time to workout. I will probably do an hour brisk walking daily. Should I try fit in anything else?
We have a big family holiday in August so I will probably be slightly more relaxed about my diet while away for the two weeks, I'll try stick to it as much as I can though! The trip is to Disney World so we will be doing quite a bit of walking, at least I'll be keeping up my exercise!!
Hoping there are a few other :ttcgirl: :ttcboy: joining me on this journey! Hopefully we can buoy each other up and keep our sways going as well as possible :highfive:

Hopper, how is your plan coming together? Are you starting LE in July?

I am starting strict LE in July and our first attempt will be in October. I've been eating LE style for 5 days now, trying to figure everything out before July. Actually have been pretty good with the limits, of course still some work to do. I've gone vegetarian now and started taking some supplements (folic acid, vitex and fiber).

Is there anyone else who will be ttc in Sept/Oct/Nov 2015? Would be nice to chat with others who are ttc at the same time!

I have a little girl only 2 months old! I'm already itching for another:) but I'm ttc a boy in October this year! I've already started the HE diet and began tracking ovulation for the first time ever in my life this month! I was sooo hoping for a boy first.. But hadn't heard anything about swaying. So looking back it TOTALLY makes sense why I had my daughter!! You would've thought I was swaying pink haha:)

But now I can actually try to sway for my little guy this time around! Tracking ovulation honestly is the hardest part for me!

Hi Nann! Congrats on your baby girl! And good luck ttc a boy. We are ttc the same month! How do you find HE diet so far? What did you eat before you concieved your DD? Just intrested!

Well I was training for my first women's body building competition! Not like huge masculine style.. But the physique category - there's a big difference! :) I was in my slimming/cutting phase so I was mainly working on upping my metabolism.

I cut out ALL red meats and fats and most sodium. My proteins only consisted of turkey and chicken. I HATE veggies.. So I mostly did fruits. I strictly ate 1200-1600 calories split up through the day in tiny meals every 3 hours. I had a Greek yogurt and strawberry protein smoothie every morning. I did green beans as much as I could since those are pretty much the only veggies I can stomach! I was also taking CLA and fish oil as well as garcinia combogia (herbal weight loss pill)

I'm also a personal trainer so I worked out with my clients. I worked out an hour in the morning, ran a few miles after work, then lifted and did circuit training late at night (1-2 hours) with my husband. I was pretty consistently running 3-5 miles a day between all my workouts. LOTS OF WORKING OUT AND LOTS OF CARDIO!!

We lastly conceived in July on a camping trip! In a tent LOL!! 80+ degree weather all week with lots of hiking and sweating and running and rock climbing! Sure enough 6 weeks later I missed my period and got a BFP! -to clarify, we weren't "trying" to conceive.. We just stopped protecting or "pulled the goalie" so to speak ;) and just waited for Mother Nature to do her magic! Stopped protecting in February and conceived in July!

All that being said, I don't think I was getting enough calories for the amount of calories I was exerting. So I def think if you try to do that diet, try to be healthy about it!! :)

What was you diet for your boys??? I'M interested now!! (: do tell!!

Oh and to answer your other question the HE diet is HARD for me!! But what's interesting is I was very much a sweets person before conceiving. But now that I've cut out sweets and copious amounts of sugar and upping my sodium intake through red meats and salt and upping my healthy fats like avocados etc, I find I don't crave sugar much anymore like I used to! It's really true what they say about sugar and being addicting making you crave it more and more! So yes it's hard, very hard.. But I like that I'm not dependent on chocolate and ice cream anymore:)

Hi girls! I have 2 amazing boys ages 6 and 3. I am hoping to start strict LE in July (or in the next couple of weeks!) and attempt in October!

Hi hopper, I'm on the diet at the moment (very on and off at the moment though) and will probably attempt August maybe September. Nann3r the HE diet looks so much easier! I'm jealous! I was actually on a pretty hard core diet and fitness regime when I conceived my son, my lowest adult weigh of 49 kilos, but I just I was eating mainly protein and veg. Still makes me nervous about the diet thing.

BrightSky I was on mostly protein (chicken and turkey) and veggies too with my daughter! However it was DEF not enough calories to compensate for my activity level!
Luvmyfam good luck to you!!! Here's some of my pink dust :)


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nann, thanks for sharing your diet when you concieved your DD. Like BrightSky said, HE diet seems so much easier! :) When I concieved my boys I had a very boyfriendly lifestyle. Always had breakfast (two slices of bread and a yoghurt or oatmeal). 5 meals a day and some snacking between. I love bananas and avocados. I was also eating alot of dairy. I love ice cream and chocolate. And always ate meat with lunch and dinner, either red meat or chicken/fish. So lots of protein. When I concieved DS1 I wasn't exercising much. Some walking with our dogs. When I concieved our DS2 I was running few times a week and did weight lifting couple times a week. Also I had lost few kilos when concieved DS2.

Luvmyfam and BrightSky, how are you doing with the LE right now? I will start the strict LE in July but I have been eating LE style for 3 weeks now. Only yesterday and today I ate soooo much of everything and didn't worry about the limits. Now feel awful about it even though I know I shouldn't because I haven't even started LE officially. We had a midsummer party with family so I thought it wouldn't hurt as I have lots of time to be strictly on LE. But why I still feel bad about it?? :D

Nann- I'm thread crashing here! With DS1 and DS2, I ate like a hobbit, lol! Think breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and sometimes a snack before bed. I only ate between 1400-1800 calories. My diet consisted with a lot of protein. I had a high fiber cereal in the morning, usually oats or Kashi goLean cereal (honey almond flax). Snacks were protein smoothies, nuts (fav was a small handful of walnuts and 1Tbsp raisins), banana, or Greek yogurt with 1C of mixed berries. Lunch was usually some sort of chicken salad or a turkey sandwich with chips (my weakness!!). Dinners would be some sort of grain or pasta (1/2C) with a protein and veggie (mainly broccoli, green beans, or mixed veggies). I loved brown rice or quinoa. I always cooked in olive oil and used extra virgin olive oil as a base for all of my salad dressings. If I did have sweets it was usually a small square of 85-95% dark chocolate. Exercise was usually 30min of weight lifting followed by 30-45min for cardio. I usually worked out 5 times a week. Sometimes I took a yoga class and would just lift when not attending the classes.

I swayed for a DD for my DH and we are having a third boy [emoji4]! Boys are AWESOME, and I sure hope you get one!

Here is my persistent blue, baby dust!!!

Yay! Fellow swayers, maybe now I can stay on course!!!! I started a soft core LE diet on May 1st, was going well with it. Completely vegetarian all week and eating under 1500 calories but allowed myself meat at the weekends and stuck to my calorie intake in the 1500-1800 range. Then I fell off the wagon the week before last when we went away for a friend's wedding and it was a three day thing of just eating and drinking and I made a pig of myself. Came home and the gluttony continued. I feel so bad that I had a major slip lasting like two whole weeks but am hoping this week I can get back on track. I think I tried to go hard core too fast so I will take it easier this time. Lesson learned.
We are going to Disney World at the end of August for 16 days so hoping I can rein myself in and at least keep within calories even if I can't stick to fat/protein intake. I am finding that part the hardest for sure! Based on my last couple of cycles we should be able to try around mid October so if that's the case I will be back on "hardcore LE" about 5-6 weeks after this holiday. And I will be on it 9 weeks before the holiday if I go back on it this week so hoping hoping hoping it will stand to me!!
All that aside, I am going to do a HPT tomorrow! I have had more than a couple early pregnancy signs over the past week and have made myself totally paranoid. I am due my period tomorrow at the latest, my cycles are anywhere from 25-35 days but my LP is a consistent 12-13 days. I am reasonably sure I ovulated on June 9th making today 16DPO. Hoping we have not had an oopsie before even getting a chance to sway but what will be will be.

Nice to hear from you hopper! Wow, did you do a HPT?

I did last night and it was BFN. Lo and behold my period turned up this morning in all her glory so needless to say we will be more careful over the coming months! Most likely this is our final child so I would like to at least attempt a sway :)

How are you getting on 2xblue? Have you started the diet yet? And are you taking any supps? I am just taking Folic Acid. I got the 409µg ones in the pharmacy but wondering now if they are right. They are the standard ones the pharmacy gives out when ttc/pg but now I am thinking I read somewhere it's meant to be a higher dose... Have to pick up Fibre supps too.

Was good yesterday for first proper day back on diet. Ate 1500 calories, kept within higher ranges of fat and protein at 50g each but still within LE range. I gained 4lbs when I went off the diet so I am now 130lbs. Want to lose 10lbs before I sway so aiming at a lb each week. I am more motivated now after failing at my first diet attempt so hoping I can keep it going!! I tried to go vegetarian LE but I just can't go without meat, big carnivore that I am!! So I am allowing myself way smaller amount than usual and not eating any red meat whatsoever. I feel it's a much more doable approach than I had when I started it before. I was 140lbs when I conceived both my boys, this is the lightest I have been since I was a teenage lol. So hoping that works in my favour.

Ok so now you have your change to sway! :) It's great that you are now more motivated! And your first proper day on diet sounds good. Are you doing exercise? Did you purchase a plan from Atomic btw?

I've been on LE now for the whole June. Usually sticked to the limits but some days went over, usually on fat or calories. But it's been a practice month and next week I will start the strict diet. Getting excited! Feels kind of weird that we are really going to ttc a third child! And the thought of maybe getting a girl feels overwhelming
and I just can't believe we could be that lucky. But just have to stay positive. Anything is possible. And the supps. I'm taking folic acid (it's 400 micrograms and I'm taking 3 tablets a day to get 1200 micrograms), fiber, Vitex and I will take Saw Palmetto closer to the first attempt. Oh and also Rephresh.

Just popping in to say that I hope to be but need DH on board first :/ Anyway, hello!

Good luck everyone! It feels like a long time ago I was on LE diet and TTC for a girl. She is 12 weeks old now and I'm pretty sure I would not have her without this forum!! Xxx

Hi Dreamofpink! I hope your DH agrees having a fourth. Did you sway with any of your children?

Kitkat, thank you! Congrats on your baby girl! All these successful sways makes me happy and hopeful.

12 weeks old already kitkat?! Wow! Time flies :-)
Yes, I swayed back in 2012/13 but got my gorgeous ds3 as an opposite. Been on here now for 3 years in August!

Sent from my LG-E400 using Tapatalk 2

Dreamofpink, very persistent little guy your ds3 is as you did sway :) Have you planned would you do something differently if you get you dh on board and you will sway again?

I just realized yesterday that we can maybe have our first attempt in the end of September (then I have been 12 weeks on LE) if my cycle will be the same. First I thought it would be in October. Really exciting! Tomorrow I will start officially my diet.

Are your DHs taking any supps? Mine just started drinking soy milk and tomorrow I will get cranberry for him. Closer to the attempt he will start drinking peppermint tea. Also I have to buy him tightey whiteys :D

I am brand new, and just purchased a sway plan!! Planning on TTC a girl...hoping our first attempt will be September! I have 2 sweet boys, ages 5 and 2. So excited to be on this journey with you all![emoji120]🏻[emoji64]🏼[emoji177]

Hi everyone!

2x, I'm actually doing pretty good on the LE! Just started last week! DH just started OLE for our sway!

Welcome cc! It's so exciting we are getting so close!

So excited for everyone ttc soon! I'm ttc a boy! We originally said we would try in November but we changed our minds and decided on October! So I gotta bump up my start to swaying in August!! I already have a DD so pink dust to all my friends here who want a baby girl!! :)

I am worried though that I'm trying again too soon. As I heard that could sway pink. I had my DD in March and we want to ttc a boy in October. Too soon??? I just don't know!!!

Okay so now I'm stressing out! Last month I Oed on CD15.. Well I had a +opk.. Last month I tested every day after AF and was able to distinguish the pos line slowly showing more and more each day up until CD15. When it was clearly pos.. This month, I tested starting on CD13.. It is now CD15 and there's no sign of O... Not even the faintest line.. :( am I worrying for nothing? Tracking ovulation is easier said than done!

Just based on my own personal experience but when I track and use OPKs my O is ALWAYS different. Its as if waiting for O to happen delays it or something. Generally its delayed by about 3 days or so but every single time I have tried to use OPKs this has happened. For my girl sway we will be trying E4D and hoping thats enough because OPKs stress me out - though stress if good for a blue sway ;) Sending loads of blue dust nann3r!!

Ah 2x, thats great!!! We are thinking of, well we WERE thinking of moving our sway forward to August but DH is having cold feet! Hopefully we will still sway in September anyway, he's afrraid of having an opposite and how disappointed I'll be. I have tried telling him I was sure our first DS was a girl and look, I've gotten over that and love the child beyond measure! He's my angel!!

My DH will hopefully take cran and LR. He has said not a hope of him wearing tighty whiteys haha!!

I'm swaying for a boy so i won't be of much help! But I am having DH wear boxers starting in August and he's going to be taking zinc too! We were gonna ttc in November but he suggested we bump it up to October!! :0 I'm on board of course as long as it won't ruin my sway!!! :p

Oh and DH is so worried too.. He could care less what gender we have, he's worried about me! I don't blame him I took the first one really hard.. But I love her more than life! Thinking about going green with #2 :) just so I can get excited and be excited he whole time, instead of depressed. Forces me to get excited about life in me rather than gender in me. Cuz that's what's most important!

Exactly Nann3rs!! I was full sure DS1 was a girl and the SHOCK I got in the delivery room when "she" was a he was just unreal! I will never ever go team green again, I want to enjoy my pregnancy and bonding with whatever gender we have instead of hoping to be team pink and dreading being team blue - little boys are wonderful, don't get me wrong. I always wanted boys but I'm honest enough to admit I am greedy too and want to experience both!

I am currently 16 mins into my cardio. Passing time on my tab listening to The Cure lol. Showing my age ;)

See with dd I was miserable:( I was so excited about the pregnancy until I heard that she was a girl. And then all I wanted was to not pregnant anymore. So the rest of my pregnancy was just awful. That's why I feel like if I go team green, I can actually be excited during my whole pregnancy like I started out in my first pregnancy.. I don't want to hear girl halfway through my pregnancy and then have to put up with the rest of my pregnancy just to meet her and finally feel attached ya know? That sounds cold.. But I didn't connect with my daughter until she was in my arms. I just wanted her out of me the entire time I was pregnant because she wasn't a boy.. :( I don't wanna hate my pregnancy again!

Oh I can imagine! I think it is kinda like that for me when we were team green for DS1. I took 2 months to bond with him post partum. The babysIt had grown in my belly was not the baby I held in my arms, or at least I felt that way. I love him beyond measure now of course, I think I baby him more than DS2 and he's so affectionate everyone adores him. He was destined for me but trying to explain that to DH I am barking up the wrong tree lol. Yes, it took me a while to bond with him but I did love him and care for him in that two months, it's not like I didn't. I regret not finding out now but hey ho. DH loves being team green lol. We are like apples and oranges!!!

Looks like we'll joining this party! We've got two sweet boys (2 & 1) and we're hoping to try for our girl in October or November. I'm on a lenient version of the LE diet now and I'll strict it up in August, with our first try in mid October or November. We were originally going to wait and try in January, because we have a cruise booked in December, but as much as I don't want to be pregnant on another cruise (btdt), I'd much rather be pregnant than on a diet! We get pregnant too easily or we'd pull the goalie now haha.

We're torn about team green this time. We were for both our boys and loved it, but I feel like this time I want to know, because if I do get my girl- I want to buy all the pink in the world. But with DS2 I was 100% convinced he was a girl, and when he was born, my dh looked up and said "it's another boy!" And my nurses said I just sighed, laid my head down and started laughing. We love him to death but I was so hopeful! So part of me wants to know ahead of time, and part of me wants that moment in the delivery room again.

Totally understand you deciding to get pregnant earlier than later! Aside from not being able to drink, you can eat whatever you want on the cruise and pig out! (: I thought for sure DD was a boy.. But then when I heard girl, I was like.. Omg what do I buy.. I don't want any pink.. Or frills or dresses or anything girly.. So we got mostly neutral things anyways. So I already know for our next pregnancy, I'll be buying boyish clothes and things regardless of the gender. Another reason why I'm not too worried to go green :) if you know you won't be too disappointed with another boy though I totally think you should find out early:) or have them give you an envelope and read it whenever you feel ready! I just had bad gender disappointment and I really don't wanna relive gender disappointment while pregnant having 20 weeks yet to go..

Welcome on board :) I can totally understand not wanting to be pg on the cruise!! We have a Disney World trip in Aug/Sept for 16 nights and we initially said we wouldn't ttc before it but the closer it gets and the longer we wait to try (its been postponed already a few times so I'm like C'mon already!!) the broodier I get!! I've been on LE since May 1st and its definitely easier when you ease yourself into it but I am honestly dreading being on holidays (with my SIL and her son) and having to try stick to LE limits without stressing. Ugh, its giving me grey hairs just thinking of it lol. We have a 3 yr old DS and 1 yr old DS and were first time lucky with them both, DH is convinced we will be first time lucky this time too but with all the swaying aspects I'm not so sure, thats why I want to attempt before our trip but so far DH is sticking with Sept at the earliest!

Hi everyone. We are going to have our first attempt in September hopefully if dh is still on board. We have two girls and he would love a son. He is so worried about having another girl that he isn't sure he even wants to try again. I tried swaying with dd2 but it took so long that I started gaining weight. I am following the HE diet much smarter this time. Not a lot of processed carbs. I'm also doing Insanity as a workout which I hope is okay since it's high intensity intervals. I am really hoping dh gets on board and it doesn't take as long, like when we got pregnant with dd1. Good luck everyone.

You and me both Quinn! Our first attempt will be in October! I'm worried to try again though and get a girl again as well. /: what all did you do to sway with your second??? I'm currently doing the HE diet as well as a truck load of supplements haha! I'm also going to be taking robitussin week of attempt. Also going to use pressed! Boxers for the DH along with coffee 30 mins prior to attempt :) praying all goes well and it works this time! (:

Hey ladies, how are all of you doing? Day 19 back on diet for me and I went over fat (68g!!!!!) yesterday. Remaining positive, or as positive as I can lol. I was under on cals and protein so it's all good. One day won't break it. Although I DID have McD's today..... DUE to O tomorrow so blaming that on craving the junk!!! Still keeping up with my cardio though so it's making me feel better about everything :)

DS2 is cutting 4 molars at the same time, running a high fever the past 2 days and is so clingy. I swear, it's draining. I bake cakes for friends, not as a business or anything, but have promised a Princess castle cake to my friends 5 yr old DD for her party on Sunday and its my own mothers birthday on Sunday so wanted to do her a cake too (keeping spends to a minimum with holiday coming up in 6 weeks) and with DS2 so attached and DH working tomorrow I have NO IDEA how I will manage either cake! Just finished cardio and have two towers for the cake frosted and setting in the fridge and the bottom tier is setting (choc biscuit). Have a bazillion things to do tomorrow - stress lol. So not conducive to my sway!! ;)

I'm doing great! I'm on the HE diet but I've also been working out (heavy lifting) and I've pretty much maintained my weight! Got a +opk yesterday and still LH strong today! However I've had terrible ovulation pains that I've never experienced before.. Possible hyperovulation? I've been taking cassava root religiously..

Hopper you sound way too busy!!!! But good for you for maintaining the LE diet WHILE baking cakes! I would've stuffed my face with cake and frosting while baking :) also good job for fitting in your cardio given the chaos! :D

Hmm, not sure about your O nann3r. I always get O pains for up to about a week before Our and +opks for about 3, sometimes even 4 days before actually Oing so I definitely am not one to answer your question lol. I hear you on the strong O pains though, they can be awful. What's cassava root hun? I've never really read much in the blue swaying part of the site so really should educate myself!!

Oh WAY too busy!!! Haha, well it was a close call while melting all the ingredients for the chocolate biscuit cake...I let DS1 takes over when the temptation got very severe lol. Baking together is our thing, he loves it and I love getting him involved in something I love :) He's a cake FIEND though, have no idea how the cake for my friends DD will emerge from my house unscathed!!

Just finished cardio, showered and in bed. DS2 woke just as I finished, he's so unsettled with his teeth bless him. Breaks my heart seeing him like this! Got 65 mins cardio done, around 400 cals burned so feeling less guilt over that silly McDs!!

Cassava root is like the raw version of tapioca! It's not really a blue swayed as much as a help for conception supplement. People say it's even helped to sway for twins as it can cause hyperovulation! That's why I wondered if that's why I'm having pains! I'm taking it cuz I would love twins:) no other reason really! Figured I'd give it a shot!
400cal is great! I get so bored doing cardio!!! My DD hasn't tether yet.. But it's coming!! She's been awful slobbery lately! Who knows.. She's only 3 and a half months old but her cousin started sprouting teeth this early! So maybe she will too!
