HOW TO INCREASE YOUR TESTOSTERONE LEVELS

Number 8 on the list- Take 1000-to-1500mg of Vitamin C per day

Now if you have a hard time avoiding stress - you want to start taking 1000-to-1500mg of Vitamin C per day because...

Vitamin C has been shown to lower cortisol levels allowing your body to make more Testosterone and like Zinc...
Vitamin C reduces the armostase enzyme that converts your Testosterone into Estrogen.

Phew, that's a relief
The info about its acidifying effect is on page 22 of T's e-book, supps for dw, pink sway. It is about vit C in pill form.

I took prenatals starting about a month before our successful blue sway for our 2yo. I felt they were important for my health and the baby's health, which I rank above swaying factors when deciding what I will take. I did the boy diet and also lots of the boy supps - but I kept up the prenatal (I took New Chapter Perfect Prenatal ordered via Amazon b/c it's much cheaper).

Ironically I wasn't taking a prenatal when I conceived little pink bean I'm pg with now

I actually took calcium-free prenatals and extra folic acid for my sway. They've got all the girl vitamins, but they were at much lower levels than recommended for swaying. I think it's more important to have health that to worry about the girl vitamins. But that's just my opinion .

I know you've said couple of times here that Prenatals are OK when TTC a boy - more nutrients, better blue sway.
I finally got my Prenatals and I'm thrilled!!! I don't have to swallow pills throughout the day, this one has so much in it.

However, I couldn't find 'Calcium free' Prenatals ( LOL!), mine has 200mg of it ( which is only 15% of RDA). My concern is vit C - I know it was not recommended on ig for dw, I guess bcos it makes you acidic? Or there is some other reason?
This one has 120mg (200%).
I guess vit C is probably not the magic bullet for TTC pink, so there is nothing to worry about, right?
( some ladies on ig w/all girls were taking Prenatals before conceiving their girls, probably some w/all boys, but I wasn't stalking pink swayers LOLOL!)

Count me in as one who took prenatals as part of a pink sway and conceived an opposite. I was also taking prenatals before DS 2 and 3.

I totally think those prenatals sound good for blue.

I totally agree and because I spent 9 months worrying aobut my baby's health because I accidentally swayed for a few weeks while I was pregnant (I thought I had AF but I actually miscarried a twin), believe me I was SO THANKFUL that I had taken them.

Oh wow, I didn't know we could take prenatals while swaying blue? And I didn't know about Vit C either! I am getting gobs of Vit C from all this fruit juice! Eek! Now I'm totally confused.

I already answered this on the other thread but for anyone who stumbles across this at a later date, the best evidence at our disposal points to the idea that ALL nutrients across the board probably sway blue to some degree.

Vit. C is listed as a girl supp because it is acidifying. That's the only reason. If your pH is good while taking Vit C, don't give it another thought, it will only help your sway.

The fruit juice is alkalinizing in addition to containing Vit. C and other phytonutrients so it is great for TTC blue and allowed on every single one of the diets.
