    What are your personal TTC Pink "magic bullets"?

    While there are no such things as magic bullets, I think we all get a little supersticious at times and convince ourselves that certain elements can "make or break" a sway.
    I'm just barely dipping my toes in the water of LE diet, but I worry that I eat too much protein (I freakin' LOVE peanut butter!).
    I also worry that if I don't cut the LE diet down to "perfect" for long enough (like 12+weeks) that it is doomed to fail.
    I also worry that if I can't start exercising enough, (right now I do nothing) for long enough, that'll ruin it as well!
    I also plan to stay the hell away from PreSeed! TTC for 4 months, on the 5th month we used PreSeed and BAM! DS! So I am avoiding it like the plague!
    I'll also completely freak out if we get PG our first attempt. I'll assume that means we didn't lower fertility enough.

    What are your "magic bullets" that you feel will make or break your sway?

    LE vegetarian (with cheats, of course, to keep you from going crazy,) one hour minimum of cardio 5-7 days a week, one attempt at +OPK. Baby aspirin and fiber supps are almost effortless and can't hurt, either

    Why the baby aspirin?

    It supposedly makes you "acidic" (who knows if that sways?) but mostly because it helps with implantation. A lot of pink sways fail because women are tired of being on the diet and they start dropping their best sway tactics that are hard to keep up (like diet and exercise.) So anything that helps you conceive on your first attempt without swaying blue sounds like a keeper to me!

    I'm going to say exercise. I personally did a reverse sway, I thought I was swaying for my boy, but I actually swayed for my DD (who was my first). I don't exercise and my diet is normally VERY boy friendly, but I lost 20+ lbs and was exercising like a mad woman for 3 months before getting my DD.
    Sept 2008 & successful boy sway June 2010.

    Is DE in my future?

    I'd say:

    LE diet
    Exercise
    1 attempt at +OPK
    OLE for DH
    Cinnamon, baby aspirin, and fiber for me

    I used internet cheapie OPKs and I would not recommend them. I never got a positive. We just DTD when they started getting lighter, and I ended up pg anyway!
