Have 2 Princes, Now Seeking ONE ~*Princess*~Needing Immediate Advice On Cal, Mag, Cranberry Supps et

[atomic sagebrush]

Hi, I have one more question. What supplements are you taking TTC while BFing like me? What's safe? Calcium, Magnesium, Cranberry..etc?

I personally do not think cranberry is safe when BF. Esp. in the doses that people take for swaying.

[atomic sagebrush]

1) B vitamins - I wouldn't take them unless you need B6 to fix your LP while BF. i think they sway blue.
2)I've taken Vitex while BF two kids and never dried up my milk or caused acne.http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...nces-here.html
3)weight loss will help sway pink.
4)all the diet stuff is in the Dream Member section. We have quite a bit in there - meal plans, snack ideas, recipes, nutrient breakdowns of various foods, etc but it's for a perk for Dream Members.
5)personally I don't like douches because you can do everything that the douches do by using RepHresh and Sylk without any of the hassle and risk. If you do want to douche the how to is here:http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...-ttc-pink.html All about RepHresh and other jellies is here:http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...-rephresh.html and here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ure-lubes.html

Thanks Atomic! Thank you for repeating a lot of info these wonderful ladies have taught me since I arrived. I read all of your posts, everywhere! very nice and informative! I also found out several days ago about the no difference thing between the sperm. I now know that Shettles was seeing mature sperm and not quite mature sperm. Isn't that too bad that it's not true! LOL So anyway I have learned a ton from all of you ladies I was going to douche and use cranberry, calcium, and magnesium but now I am going to use Vitex, RepHresh and sylk and a - ion bracelet (those things FOR sure) I am so excited..I'm sure it will make a difference!!! I just feel it! I have the B vitamins but haven't begun taking them yet. I have vitex on the way. So I am not going to TTC at all this month. It's too late to start anything. I am on cd 9, I used to ovulate on the 16th day but now it's like day 21 or 22. My luteal phase seems to stay at 10 days. Is that good? I need to lose weight VERY much. I just hate exercise lol I love the feeling afterwards though! But I know it's going to be the key for me. Whether I will do the diet I don't know. I just need to cut down on what I eat and also change my beverage. Should I do caffeine free diet coke, I have crystal lite. Right now I am thinking of the best way to lose weight. I am a beginner as I never work out. Just chase my two little boys around, and do housework and such. I don't know why losing weight sways pink, I haven't even looked into it. However it makes sense. The skinny women in my hubby's family are thin and they have mostly girls well two out of three of them have only girls!!! So I see truth to the theory!

Ladies, If I have a pretty regular period.. Dec 25 and in Jan it was on the 25th as well, and my luteal phase is like 10 days. My question is, do I even need Vitex ??? My cycle is normal I guess even though DS #2 nurses ALL The time!

[atomic sagebrush]

Peb, there are a lot of menus/diet tips/recipes in the Dream Members section already. We may add custom diet plans at some point - for right now, we're just doing the sway plans and may branch out from there. The sway plans do have diet suggestions and tips in them.

Yes, you still need vitex (as long as you feel comfy taking it.). Vitex is for more than regulating cycles, it actually seems to sway pink by itself.

Sorry for being repetitive, I just answer every q as quick as I can and some people like to hear it from me personally LOL.

10 days is a pretty short LP but the vitex may help with that. You can get pg with a 10 day LP tho.

If you do anything, DO DIET. Diet has far and away the most scientific support backing it up.

Crystal Lite and Diet Coke are both good choices.

Losing weight sways pink by reducing body fat, which lowers estrogen (fat actually makes estrogen) and also by shrinking muscle mass, which lowers testosterone. (muscle doesn't actually make testosterone, but it sends a message to your body to make it.) Weight loss also lowers pH and blood sugar. Also, there is a theory called the "Trivers Willard Hypothesis" that indicates mothers in better condition, with more access to quality food and enough calories, will have more sons because sons need more calories from conception throughout their entire lives.
