Hi I think im going to be a lazy swayer too when the time comes as I just cant seem to stick to teh diet as DH does the evening cooking and its not very girl friendly. ive never been a big eater so actually eating 2-3 meals a day is making me put on weight not loose it but I have gone from grazing all day on junk to eating 2 solid big meals which is a big differnce for me so my blood sugars are definately lowering so thats good plus im going to take supps which i hope will do the trick.

Mom23boys, sounds like me too! My hubby doea all the cooking and its boy friendly too. Lots of read meat,Whole fats, I've found. That not eating the meat that night b/c I want "feeling it" has helped, and reducing my salt intake. I used to eat a ton of salt and now, everything is too salty. Lol

Well at 10 dpo I got a super faint second line and this morning at 11dpo my temp jumped up so I think this is the start of something beautiful. I have a history of early losses so I'm not jjumping up and down just yet, still have a lot of hurtles to get over. I'm not super confident in my sway and my hubby this morning not knowing I was swaying behind the scenes said to me " you know this is another boy" I kept a brave face but wanted to tell him off...lol

I think I'm finding myself falling into the category of lazy swayers. This will be our first child, we're probably going to stop at 2 (we're both in our 30s), and I know that I'm much more likely to be devastated if I never have a daughter than if I never have a son for various reasons. So my husband thinks we should try and sway pink for our first. Though the more I think about it, the more I REALLY want both, and I also think I'd be devastated if I never have a son.

So the sway that I'm doing is pretty easy. I'm already vegan, so my plan for the diet is to cut out salty foods, keep my calories below 2000 per day, stop snacking, skip breakfast (though I normally have just a smoothie for breakfast anyway, so this won't be hard), and follow the principles of LE and FGD as much as I can. Also helps that strawberries are one of my favorite foods!

For exercise, I have a daily Ashtanga Mysore yoga practice, that's important to me, and I'm adding lots of cardio to it as well. Whatever the baby happens to be, the cardio is definitely helping my yoga practice!!

When it comes to sex, right now my husband and I normally have sex 3-4 times per week, and we're going to challenge ourselves to have sex every day from the end of AF to O. It seems like it's a good idea to bombard my egg with sperm as much as possible anyway. :-)

I may use Rephresh, haven't decided yet.

And that's it, we're starting with TTC this coming March, so that should give us plenty of time to be sure that this sway is something we want to do. We were talking about it at breakfast, and seeing as we've known which girls' name we want to use since we've met, it seems kind of weird to think that we'll have to wait a while to use it or that we'll never get a chance to use it.

So if we do, I'm thinking a lightweight pink sway for our firstborn. For our secondborn who will also likely be our last, we'll be swaying a lot harder and for the opposite of what our firstborn is.

I had a missed m/c at 8weeks, I had my d&c almost 2 weeks ago. I asked for thr chromosome testing as this was my 5 loss. So I'm back here with the lazy swayers.

I'm sorry Christa!!! Nice to see you again but I wish it was better circumstances
