Hello! I am looking for some blue swayers to talk to while I perfect my swaying plan. I have a lot of anxiety because this is my last shot at a boy and dh isn't completely on board yet. I want another baby so bad that I'm really hoping I can convince him. I would love to hear what others are doing right now!
I think mine is really late spring, but I'll chat :)
Right now I'm taking vitamins and doing strength training with 5 and 10 lb weights.... Will start the diet 1st week of May!!
Me :wave:. Dreading starting diet :/
Me too, reaaaallly don't want to gain a bunch! Hoping the muscles help! When do you start three little stars?
Hi there! We were first considering PGD but after much thinking we have decided to try it naturally. So I am doing my research now and hoping to start trying between august en december 2015.
Hi ummBanat! How many girls do you have? I have 2.... Almost 8 & almost 4...
I have 3 girls. 4, 2 and 1 year old girl. My husband would love to have a babyboy. So I am doing this sway mostly for him.
I used to say "I want only boys". With my first daughter I was "disappointed" because I really wanted just boys. But then I loved her so much and I loved being a mom to a daughter. Then the other two came along and I loved it. For my husband was the third daughter a though digestion because he really hoped for a boy. It took him a couple of hours to digest it but he got quickly on board.
So right away when discovering we would have a third girl, we were looking for options. We found out that PGD was the only "sure" thing (only God can give or take). We even made contact with the PGD clinic in Jordanie. But sinds a month or two he came to his senses and said that if God will grant us a boy or daughter it will be the best for us! (cause I wasn't 100% confortable with that PGD cycle) But we can increase our chances by changing our diets and who knows... :)
Well I hope that we get our boys!! People on this site have great luck with boys!
Not sure. I think I'm still in denial about the amount I have to eat haha. I guess I'll shoot for about a month from now starting diet. I feel like I've already gained weight just from trying to snack more and not get hungry too much (I'm naturally pretty thin and hungry often). I really do not like the idea of gaining weight before getting pregnant... but I guess it's worth a try.Quote:

I'm eating a lot of foods high in protein and have been snacking more. I see myself starting to gain weight so I am going to slow down for now...don't want to gain too much. I am also going to start hitting the gym so all the weight I gain isn't completely fat. My husband wants another baby but i haven't told him about the diet yet. He will think it's ridiculous. lol Good luck and would love to chat about our sways.Quote:

Haha! Its crazy hard though! I feel im stuck at this weight and can't budge the rest. And the diet is tricky sometimes! I was much happier eating "blue" lolQuote:

Thanks hitmebabyonemoretime! (That's a mouthful,lol) I just really hope the weights work b/c I already gained some weight w/out starting the diet!!! :(
Pink swayer here but thought I'd add my two cents. I got pregnant with DS1 right after getting married. I had gained a lot of weight, probably the heaviest I had ever been, then crash dieted to lose weight for the wedding. I did running and pull ups/push ups/sit ups. I ended up being the skinniest I had ever been. It must have been the muscle gain. I was also crazy stressed, had just had a car accident and lost my job. So yeah, there's that. We DTD often and several times inside the ovulation window. I wish you all good luck!
Nice, thx babypink! I have def gained muscles so this makes me happy! With my girls, they were both 1 attempts so this one will be a lot more attempts! For my sanity, I just cannot gain weight..... So I'm doing a lot of strengthtraining and will start Hiit workouts to burn more fat... My weight always fluctuates 5 lbs up & down so hopefully this won't make a difference!! :)
Hello ....
i also want to join u all...i want to try for blue after two darling dds ...my girlies was also one shot attempt lol :) ...let see how much time this would take ...
I'm soooo happy!! I wanted to lose some weight before my sway and was told that it would mess it up.... But I did! Lost all 10lbs I wanted..... Without the scale moving!!!! With all my weight training I replaced fat with muscle and toned up to the point I have definition in my abs!!!! Sorry, just really happy :) :)
:) wow that is great .... happy for u
Thx!! I've been really stressed about the weight and then knowing I'd gain more while on the boy diet! I'm really loving the lifting weights..... Are you lifting weights Goodmom?
At the moment no but will definetely start now ... i think we should also compare our plans abt diet so tht we can recommend and help each other :) m getting nervous now abt ttc as its just one month away[emoji15]
Sure! There's a post what your eating for blue thread here so we can do that! My diet will be different since I'm plant based though... I was going to add in eggs and yogurt at least but I'm not sure I can force myself... :(
So tomorrow's the big day to start the boy diet!! Today was super busy, did leg day which I hate!!!! Then made cashew cream chz & 10 bean burgers!! I'm going to prep my vegan protien meals every Sunday! On a good note, I'm part of a Vegan family group in face book and a lot of them have baby boys!! So I'm feeling a lot better!! How's everybody else doing?
What are you doing for exercise, ashforblue? I need some help with that. Would you mind sharing your schedule? Thank you :). I've been trying to eat breakfast and snack a lot and basically just not get hungry. I'm on the very thin side so I guess it's ok if I gain even 10 pounds, although I won't be happy about it. Maybe I'll go on a diet once pregnant ;) (kidding!). I'm also starting to get nervous about being pregnant at all!
I wish I was on the thin side starting this! Sure I can tell you what I do! I workout at least 30 mins everyday, if I do it longer, I break it up in 2 30 min sessions... I do legs (lunges, squats, calf raises) 3-5 days a week, I do arms, back, abs also 3-5 days a week! I combine them a lot by doing strength training YouTube videos.... I work out at home & use 5 & 10 lb weights I also do some kickboxing and barre videos! Oh, I also usually go hiking in the mountains 1x a week... To gain muscle you need to make sure you have more then normal calories, which is what we are suppose to be doing on the HE diet anyways! I probably workout more then recommended, so you might want to work out like 4-5 days a week no more then 30 mins :)
YouTube is amazing for begining weight training videos! Plus cheaper then a gym!! Also, I started with 3 lb weights in the beginning....
So, I've just started power yoga again, which is once a week and definitely builds muscle. I was doing barre actually, beforehand. I walk a lot. Maybe I'll try to start doing two more days a week of weight training or leg work. Have to find my weights somewhere around here. Last time I used them was probably 10 years ago, haha. Thanks for the tips!
I'm going to be attempting a blue sway, hopefully in about a month or so. Unfortunately, I've had some crazy cycles since coming off BC in October so I've been prescribed Clomid. I've been following HE diet since January or so though and working out/weights as well, so I'm hoping that diet/exercise/timing will overshadow the Clomid. Was going to start this month but DH is out of town Thurs-Sunday the last weekend in May and I'm gone Thurs-Sunday the first weekend in June so that doesn't give us good timing! :)
I'm happy to have some fellow blue swayers!
Threelittlestars~ I've heard great things about hot yoga, maybe I should add in some of that too!
Taytum J~ Hi!! I Think you have a great shot even with the clomid! Since Jan! That's a long time, I bet it's pretty second nature by now!!
So I just started the diet yesterday and it's a little harder then I thought.... I ended up over eating, hoping today goes a little better!
I wish I had some great places to do fun workout things! I live in a small, rural town and so most of the time we go to the gym, but it's your basic gym with cardio and weights. No fun activities like spin class, hot yoga, etc. So I've been trying to spend only 10-20 minutes walking/running and then the rest weights. Gets so boring though. :(
Ash - I hear ya on the overeating! I always tell myself though that's better than under eating. I think the hardest part was just making sure that what I was eating was giving me the most bang for my buck. I love though most things on the list anyway so it wasn't too much of an issue - I was glad to give myself permission to eat more snacks though!
YouTube is my best friend since I don't go to a gym!! When are you TTC Taytum, June or July? I think its hard for me b/c I have to think of plant based protien and a little stage fright!!!
So ladies, who all is going to use preseed? I'm thinking of it but to tell you the truth ever since starting the supplements, I'm getting 4-5 days of ewcm!!
Hi ...ash ...me too m little confuse abt using preseed or not to use ... i get a lot of ewcm ...may b tht is the reason i fall preg v soon ... not sure if i should use it or not ?
Is there anyone thinking of using it ? Or can anyone suggest should i use it or not if i get ewcm naturally ?
Can anyone also pls help me what kind and how much probitics u are using ? Is there any for vegeterians/kosher ?
I think we're going to aim for June. Hoping that the Provera I'm on now will fix my cycles, if not, I'll go back in June and we'll start low dose Clomid. Here's to hoping we need just a little help! [emoji4]
I think I'm going to use preseed...I don't get much EWCM, just watery. So maybe not a lot as I've heard mixed reviews on it. I'll actually probably order YesBaby as Maiden has suggested, seems a little better!
I'm only taking a good prenatal and vitamin D supplement. I didn't want to chance it with taking something that might screw with my already crazy cycles.

where can you get the yes baby? In stores?
Goodmom~ I think I'm going to go ahead and use something even with ewcm, it's gotten such good results.... For a probiotic I would go to your natural health store and look in the refrigerated section b/c those would be the best!!
Does anyone else have issues eAting all the calories on the HE diet when on your period? AF came to town and it's really hard for me to eat when I'm so bloated! :(
Thx ash i will try that ...
yesbaby is available here on amazon uk..i think u shld chk amazon ...is it much better thn preseed ? Or better ph ?
Yes its v hard to eat so much whn u are bloated with Af ... what i do is eat every now and thn to atleast keep sugar level constant ... but still it is hard i agree ... hugs...
Thx Goodmom! Blah, hate this time of month! Can't wait to be preggo and not have AF for 10 months :)
I'm not sure about yes baby being better then preseed..... Maybe someone else knows???? Im going to look on Amazon!
I'm not sure about ph being better or anything, I've just heard Maiden say she thinks the lube itself mimics ewcm better than preseed.
I think I'll start AF next week so I hope I can ovulate on my own as well soon!
