How many members are swaying for boy?

8LP, DH and I both take 1000mg of flax in capsules, and it has never bothered my cycle. I am out of it, and was going to buy some more yesterday....I noticed this Omega 3 mix that has fish, flax, and olive oil and such in it which I may try next time (if there is a next time there is not!!!).

TTC5, are you taking a prenatal mutivitamin?

Oooh, that sounds good Lola, do you recall the brand name??

I'm praying and crossing various digits that this is your month!

THANKS, Atomic! I am hoping we caught that egg, if there was one! The triple omega I found was Nature Made (Target was where I saw it) but I am sure most lines carry one. I used to take one when I was pg with #2 as recommended by my doula, actually! Here is the one I will probably buy:

That looks great, I really like how it has the fatty acids in the proper proportions.

I started back up the flaxseed capsules, so I'll be adding them to my sway list, I'm sure I read somewhere that flaxseed was also linked to twins, but that might have been the whole seeds due to the lignans? rather than just the oil though, that would be a major surprise woulldn't it, probably a pair of pinkies for me !!

No I don't take a pre natal as I thought someone told me on IG they sway pink???

Yes, they do say on IG that prenatals sway pink, only because of the calcium and magnesium in them....but mine, Prenate DHA (they are prescription, only $8 a month on my insurance, though!), have about 1/6 of the calcium recommended for ttc pink. So I didn't take them for a while, but then I did again, as I just didn't think it was that big of a deal.

8LP, I've never heard of flaxseeds causing twins, that is interesting! I only take the oil capsules though.

Ladies, how long does it take the hpt to turn negative after mmc? I started spotting on 18th Feb. I'm wondering if I'm feeling a bit odd because af might be due, thanks x

I think it depends on how far along you were, meaning how high your levels of hcg were, but I think you were early like me....it should be negative a month after, I'd think....did you take one this morning???

That is so funny because everyone yelled at me on that site all the time for taking a prenatal because they sway blue. o.O

I think it's more that there are ingredients in prenatals like calcium/magnesium, B vitamins, and Vit. D that traditionally are believed to sway pink, while at the same time they have potassium, iron, Vit E and other stuff that is supposed to sway blue. So the proper advice would entail breaking up the ingredients in your prenatal and only taking the vitamins that are approved.

But since I think the science supports that more nutrients sway blue and less nutrients sway pink, I believe prenatals sway blue.
