Clomid duping

[Ohdeer]

If clomid sways because it dries up cm and lowers estrogen how might non-clomid takers mimic this? Just wondering what other tactics could do the same. I’m guessing antihistamine but any other ideas? Or am I totally on the wrong train here? Tia!

We don't KNOW how Clomid works, truly. The idea that it works because it lowers estrogen/dries up CM are just guesses. I suggest that you simply do LE Diet, exercise, and one attempt because those things have actually worked. Antihistamine has NOT worked and has lowered odds of conception by a lot (this doesn't seem like a huge deal, but it matters because if you don't get pregnant with one attempt and then panic and start dropping tons of sway tactics you really undermine your sway). It's up to you if you want to try it for a month, but you should give it the ol' heave ho sooner rather than later. And don't start chasing down things to 'replace' Clomid, you can have a fine sway without it!

Hey atomic, is there any way you could make a poll asking people if they tend to get a lot, medium, or small amount of cm at ovulation time, and what gender children they have? Because I always get a lot even with Clomid, and I'm wondering if this even sways.

Great, thank you. You always seem to talk me down off a cliff so I really appreciate it :-)

We have done them in the past and I see no point in doing it any more because usually only a few people reply and there's no real definition of "a lot, medium, small" and it's all very imprecise. I see WAYYYYY more people go through doing sways and I get lots of blue swayers who are in a panic because they ahve no EWCM but get boys anyway, and lots of pink swayers who are in a panic because they think they have too much EWCM but get girls anyway (and the reverse is true, with people 100% certain their sways worked because of the level of CM they had but then they got opposites). I just can't believe that it is telling us anything of any value at all because the results have been so all over the map.

FWIW I got a boy with no visible CM, my pH didn't change, I didn't even know I ovulated. Then with my girl, I had EWCM and it went on for 2 days after I Oed! I just can't buy into it any more.
