Hi, I was TTC a boy and got pregnant with a girl. I got pregnant the cycle after miscarriage in March 2015. Here is what i did, if you want it for the spreadsheet.
Before O: Green tea, EPO, Mucinex
All Cycle: Prenatal+DHA, Wheat Grass, Coconut Oil, Fish Oil, Royal Jelly, CoQ10
Exercise: Elliptical, free weight arm exercises, situps, squats, pushups
Diet: Low dairy, trying to lose weight despite blue sway
Daddy: Multi+Omega3, Vit D, CoQ10, L-Carn, L-arg, Fish Oil, Fiber, Elliptical, Weight
Thank you so much!! This info is invaluable to us.
Let me know how I can help you moving forward in your next sway!
More and more I have been leaving the EPO out for anyone who had a failed sway using it previously. That is one thing I'd def. have you switcheroo this time.
I was pretty religious about taking the EPO! Interesting!
Hey I know there is no category for it but I think one of the reasons we are having girls is DH takes daily hot baths. Gonna have to make him quit!
One more thing, our timing was O-4, O, O+1, O+2.
I had positive OPKs on the days I am calling O and +1 days.
This was the cycle right after a chemical pregnancy.
Hi again, I am gonna start ttc soon and noticed this still isn't in the spreadsheet. I'm looking at the spreadsheet to decide on supplements...it is pretty up to date? Thanks!
I was curious about how up to date the boy sway spreadsheet and stats were the other day too. Saw some 2016 girl sway stats around recently but not sure on the boy ones. Would definitely be interested. GL with you sway.
No, the blue sway sheet isn't as up to date as I would like. The volunteer who does it has not been on the site much.
The thing is, I feel we have a good handle on what is working for blue. In fact, many of the successful blue swayers never even post their sways into the stats so I know about things that others don't (privacy is really important to many blue swayers) I am happy to go over any of the supps with you guys and give you my impressions on what is working and why.
That'd be great Atomic. Any insight you can provide given the overview and detail you have would be great. The sups I've particularly found confusing, so many options many of which I've never heard of. Any thoughts on why blue swayers value their privacy more?Quote:

HE Diet 6 weeks or more but without limiting strictly calcium intake OR gaining more than 10-15 lbs (the people who dieted a long time while gaining gobs of weight and/or not eating calcium foods got lots of opposites) And making sure you are getting the majority of fat intake from animal sources rather than vegetableQuote:

NO biking/jogging for DH
NO smoking for DH (or DW either of course) THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE THING
Regular release by DH every 2-4 days starting as far in advance as is possible
3 attempts or more in fertile window
Not having kiddos too close together
Not TTC immediately after coming off hormonal birth control
All the rest of it I'm not totally sold on or are things we can work around
Thank you Atomic. That's a very clear summary.
I would really appreciate that!
Thank you Atomic!
Is it OK if I jog and lose some weight? My run is at walking speed...I'm so slow.
Oh and how close together is too close? My youngest is 15mths.
I'm sorry I'm not sure what this is referencing?Quote:

I didn't see you had already posted, disregard it :) I read post by post instead of the whole thread.
Oh I gotcha! Yes I do that all the time. :)
