Hello. So husband is suddenly gung ho for another babe after saying no no no. I am going to sway for 2-3 cycles before trying as it's really our last chance at a girl.
Anyone else just started? I have been slowly changing things over last 6 months. Dh and I are both vegetarian these days and today is my first day of proper tracking with MFP.
I am excited to get on with it now!

Hi Frankie I'm here with you!
I've been swaying since Feb but not planning to ttc til now but still no ppaf yet so just waiting waiting lol! It will probably be December before we attempt too.
Best of luck for your pink sway xx
Yay Frankie, exciting to hear hubby has jumped on board. I'm still in a holding pattern unfortunately. GL with your sway, so good to put all you've learnt into practice.
Awesome I've seen your name pop up a lot! Good luck to you too. Have you been going hardcore since Feb or easing slowly? Im starting now with 10.30 breakky which is proving doable so far , though actual REAL no snacking is harder than I thought haha - I realise I've still been popping in this and that while I feed the boys .Quote:

No not hardcore because I'm bf my little one but definitely have lost a lot of weight and have been vegetarian the whole time.Quote:

good luck ladies, LMK if you need anything!
Hi Frankie! We are also ttc Oct/Nov/Dec. Still not sure if we'll go for a third child but I started LE diet 6 wks ago. Don't do the sports but perhaps will start with the exercising as well. I have a low bmi already so cannot lose more weight..

Cool good luck. I am not doing exercise - just trying to walk a lot with the boys. Hopefully it's enough!Quote:

It hasn’t been as hard of a transition as I thought (I seriously didn’t know how I would go without snacking and these days it’s doesn’t phase me much). I calorie count and try to keep within my goals. Some days I go over, most days I do great. I’m just ready to start trying!

Good luck ! Yes I'm already in the swing (though only been a few days!) it's not terribly hard to stay under limits. I did that 5:2 diet at one point and it was torture! So I just compare it to that :)Quote:

I think all of our husbands have doubted a third Anna. Atomic wrote a great post once about how it's something you really want and means so much to you to stand firm and 'take it to the mat' I think were the words! Because for women our time to conceive is limited while men don't know that feeling (as much).. don't give up easily was the main point.Quote:

Thanks Frankie for your nice words, I will give it a try later with an other conversation. You are ttc for a third as well?

Yes a third, which I never thought we'd have either but I can't shake it. Husband comes from a big family so it's easier to sway him. I still have to tip toe around it I know if I talk too much about it he'll freak out so I'm just letting things slowly happen.Quote:

January for me! Waiting for my plan to come through and then I will get started!!!!! I think I am more excited to get the plan through than anything, lol it's like waiting for a BFP!!!!
Mamasboys, that sounds exciting! Frankie, indeed later when they are older it is so nice to have a full table :-)

Anne37 - we've been swaying/trying for a year for third and hasn't happened so hubby has now pulled the plug on it. I too just can't shake the feeling I'm meant to have three children, i too like the idea of the full table. I am one of three and like the mayhem of it but he is an only child so even two is a big jump for him. Our boys are pretty hard work and he's nearly 46 so he just says he doesn't feel he can cope. I'm only 33 (34 in Jan) so don't feel I'm done and lots of people have kids older these days. Many of my friends haven't even started their families. I've always wanted three and as much as I love my boys, would just like the chance of a girl. I'm hoping he'll change his mind - maybe a bit of Christmas romance/cheer will get him in the mood! Just doing a relaxed sway in the meantime to try to stay pink friendly. Hope you manage to convince yours x
Dear onelastsway, oh that sounds really disappointing for you :-( have you been swaying for a year? I really hope your husband will change is mind! I just turned 38, husband is 43. Not the youngest couple either. So perhaps wise not to go for a third.. But I've always thougt to have three, two boys one girl. We'll see!

Exciting ! How many boys (or girls I guess?) do you have ?Quote:

Hey Frankie - 2 boys now, 2 and 4. I was 1 of 3 and I always knew when I was fighting with one sister I would always have the other! haha My hubby is 1 of 2 boys and they don't get along as adults, so I always say, ooohhh if you had another sibling this wouldn't be so bad!! He doesn't mind though, I am lucky. I am 37 and he is 33, so time is on his side more than mine!!! Time will tell - I purchased a sway plan and will get started once it comes through. How about you?Quote:

Hello ladies,
Can I join you?
I have been swaying since September (not that long!) I have been finding it hard to lose weight even though I have been staying within my limits so atomic suggested doing the pcos le diet and starting myo inositol. I have also been extending my fast to 16 hours and this seems to have kick started my weight loss.
Hoping to start ttc either next month or December. Dh works away so it depends if he is at home at the crucial time!
Good luck to everyone.
Hi Igglepiggle! Yes ofcourse, welcome! How many kids do you have already? I am swaying (light) since mid September. Today big cheat with going out for dinner but that happens ;-) Good luck!

Hi Anne, I have 3 boys (4,3 and 5 months) and I also have an angel girl who I lost to stillbirth last year.
Hope you enjoy your dinner. I'm going out for my sister's birthday next week and can't wait!
I am so sorry to hear that you lost a baby Igglepiggle! A cheat one in a while is ok [emoji4] Will start exercise as well, till now didn't do it as my bmi is already super low 18,3. But I think it's a strong swaying factor so will add it now for the upcoming weeks.

How is everyone going with the LE diet here ?
We've just been on holiday so major cheating - big breakfasts, processed food, meat , the whole lot ! Back on the sway train now. Noticed my High fertile December days will be at christmas (around Boxing Day :) I think I could nab my husbands holiday cheer and aim for this cycle ... :)

Hi! I'm in the same boat. Want to do the diet between now and Dec, and start TTC in Jan. I'm vegetarian by upbringing, so that's easy. What's not easy is that I now have to cut back the core of my vegetarianism ( beans, dairy, nuts). I'm in the process of reading up info on the site, and coming up with my sway plan. How is everyone else doing? Please feel free to share tips on what's working for you/what isn't. Sending pink dust our way! :)
P.S- What are your thoughts on adding supplements to your sway? I'm a bit worried about messing with my body, as supplements take a while to kick in, and need to be weaned carefully, and could disturb something that's working fine. But I'm willing to try if anything has been getting good results.
Im just finding that with no snacking, the limits in general are quite easy to stick to. I have diverted to Diet Coke when hungry which i dislike but gets me through with no goodness (sounds awful but hey if that's what works !)Quote:

Hi there! Diet coke lol? That's a handy tip. I'm referring to vitex, saw palmetto clomid, antihistamines etc that I see in many sways!Quote:

Coffee and coke zero help me avoid snacking. I try not to eat till around 11.30 or 12 and have a biggish lunch like soup and a sandwich. That normally keeps me going till my dinner at around 5 or 6. Sometimes I'll have a few jellies or a few spoons of yoghurt in between if I really need something .
Supplements I'm taking are myo inositol and co q10.
I'm hoping to try next cycle, I'm not enjoying the le diet so can't wait to stuff my face again ��

Ah yeh I think the main ones now are Clomid or Femara - I am really undecided on what to do here as Femara sounds good but is quite expensive to obtain online.

Ladies, just a reminder I cannot keep up with support threads so whenever you have a question please post it in its own heading in the forums and I'll reply!
Some questions for my fellow sway buddies :
Is egg white ok to eat every day, within overall protein limits?
What are you ladies drinking, to help sway, or curb cravings?
Are there foods that you are absolutely avoiding?
How are you doing on the 6 days of cardio? I'm struggling to keep going for 60 mins. By 40 min, I get bored and lose my zeal.
For those ladies who've been on the diet longer, how has it changed your body? Curious to see if there are apparent changes.
How supportive has your DH or partner been? My DH doesn't want to do anything to his body, and urges me not to do anything 'less healthy'. We both are usually very clean eaters and regular at exercise.

Hello girls, i started slowly Le diet from January, in May i lost few kg, i took Vitex and drunk peppermint tea and i lost my ovulation till September:( so be careful with supplements. I think it is fine eat egg white within protein limits. Im drinking coke zero and 4-5 cups of coffee daily. Im still eating something sweet after lunch like ice cream:p . Im walking very fast every morning 60min/7days. My husband is taking Ole and drinking soy milk and im drinking white wine just around ovulation i hope it is fine:giggle:
