Is your sway plan finalised?

[Serendipity]

Or are you still deciding what route to go down? Do you still have questions about any aspect of it? I've been researching for about 2 years now, but am still unsure if I'm doing the right things! My main worry is the supplements- calcium or no calcium? I know slightly more people who have got a girl on it than not, but I understand the reasons it's advised not to take it. I'm just terrified I make the wrong decision and mess up my sway!

What stage of planning is everyone else at?

I've more or less decided on 2 sways - one normal sway, and one assuming I can get clomid

I've not yet decided about calc+mag. Leaning slightly more to avoiding it as I look at the Oxford study and the boy conceivers took more calc+mag than the girl ones

I was on a cal/mag supplement when I conceived my second son, so it's a no-brainer for me to avoid it.

As far as my sway, I have it more or less nailed down, but am still deciding on some of the details and changing small things all the time. In the past week, I decided to drop two things (Sylk and probiotics) and add one (iodine). I'm sure this minor tweaking will continue to some extent until the beginning of our swaying cycle in mid-April.

I'm not going to take a calcium supplement but I am considering full fat dairy (esp milk) as I've seen soooooooo many girls conceived with ladies drinking tons of full fat milk.

I am trying to do the diet and am struggling with it. I'm a terrible snacker and I literally snack all night long, it's a nightmare trying not to I've told myself no cheating from the start of february...

I have always had low calcium levels and my GP used to always recommend I take a calcium sup...but I was too lazy to actually take it and I have never really liked dairy. I only had low fat milk on my cereal, hate ice-cream, and only eat cheese now and then. Personally I would avoid it like the plague...but thats just me!! I am now taking calcium and eat dairy for my boy sway.

My sway is pretty much sorted (I got a personalised plan) I am just deciding if I will chart or not. I felt when I was TTC this time last year that charting messed with my cycle. I was waking up all night long and earlier every day, messing with my sleep cycles and my cycle. Just weighing up the pros and cons...but other than that it's sorted and I am getting right into it all. Exercise, super healthy eating, eating every 2-3hrs and taking all the right sups daily!

I ate calcium when I conceived both of my girls and my boy, I wouldn't stress too much over it, I don't think it makes or breaks a sway

I'm TTC a boy and I'm having lots of full fat dairy.. I'm not avoiding it but I'm not taking huuuuuuge amounts.. it's just one of those hard to tell things I guess! When are you ladies TTC??

I have had to wait till December!!

[atomic sagebrush]

I had tons of dairy with my boys as did my husband and not much with DD. I know it's a hard decision to make - altho easy for me because once you get a boy taking 1200 mg calcium and having eaten tons of dairy your whole life it's very easy to let go!

[2lovelyboys]

I have also always been a big dairy fan, with my DS2 (failed pink sway) I continued with my dairy and took a calcium supplement. This time I have reduced dairy (slightly) and no additional calcium

[mollisol]

I'm still thinking about whether to take calcium supplements as well, but most other things have been decided. Now I just need to stick to it!
