OMG does it really? I have been taking it the past 8 weeks??!!

Ladies, I am hoping Atomic pops on here and gives a better answer, but from what I remember, B6 increases your hormones in a girl-friendly way....I think it increases your estrogen, which in turn increases your progesterone, which is why it lengthens LPs. I personally would not take it, but I did take a B12+folic 800mg combo pill when swaying. Now, she might say that B6 is not that big of a deal for a boy sway, so don't anyone freak out! I just remember that from IG rules. I take progesterone supplements (up the vag kind) AFTER we dtd, to avoid that and still keep my LP long and strong.

Good morning ladies! Happy Friday :-)

Sorry for getting everyone all worked up over the b6/b12 thing! I wasn't meaning to stir anything up; that was just what T said over on IG and I'm pretty sure she'd say the same thing now, so it all depends on which sway philosophy you're going to go with. Personally my NYF are loaded with B vitamins. I'm not concerned.

Welcome sdmommy!

Thanks for all the RJ tips. I'll definitely add it in when I get about 3 months out from actually TTC. Lola thanks for the green drink tip too!

This brings up a Q I keep getting confused on. So I know our goal with TTC boy is to increase testosterone levels. Are we aiming for low estrogen and low progesterone in conjunction with that?

Thanks Lola...we conceived our loss which was a boy doing doggy so that is why I am stuck on that position. I just worry that when I flip around it is all going to fall out {gross I know}. We usually DTD at night but I am thinking of switching to the morning as I hear sperm count is higher in the morning. I don't normally get up for at least an hour if not longer and always pee before we DTD. Totally personal question here...how long does your DH stay in you afterwards? I always worry mine doesn't stay in long enough, or am I just worrying about nothing! I must admit it was easier when I had decided not to sway anymore. now that i am swaying again I am stressing about everything...really trying not to though!

I just tell DH to stay in until he is "done" emitting his swimmers, so for a minute or so. Atomic posted about the sperm count in the morning thing....it is so nominal, that is doesn't really matter. I can't remember the exact figure, but like 10 million at night and 11 million in the morning, and really, that doesn't make much of a difference when you are talking millions. Since it is hard for us to dtd in the morning with kids and all, we just went for it at night. I wouldn't be too concerned about that. I would DEFINITELY do doggy style again if that one got your other son. And try not to stress.....take some time when you can and read through all of Atomic's sticky posts in TTC Boy section.....it will put your mind at ease. This site is not like IG with all these "rules" like if you do this or that, you will NEVER get your boy, kwim?

in regarding to the B6, ive been taking that like 3 days after af stopped till now which is 1DPO, honestly will it affect my sway??

I *think* you are supposed to take it for a while after you attempt and ease off of it.....I would search around for a post about that, or maybe post and ask Atomic. But, I would not take it, so may as well just stay off of it now. Don't worry, though, I don't think it will affect your sway that much.

Can I join too please? I'm on CD12, been doing the diet since my miscarriage in late February and am hoping I can attempt this cycle. I don't think DH or I can stand another month on this diet. I can't stand the salt, eating all the time, and no cardio!! We have two fabulous DDs and I would love to add a DS. We had an oops pregnancy in January and I was kind of happy because the gender decision was taken out of my hands.

Hi and welcome....sorry to hear about your m/c....a lot of us have been there, it never is easy. Hope you are doing ok! The diet does suck, but be hardcore about it because it is the #1 sway factor that people believe in making the difference. I gained a lot of weight on it (used to be a tiny eater, lots of cardio....hence the DDs!) but it will all be worth it if this bean is a boy. Glad you are here and ask away!

Hey girls this place is so much fun ! Dh's are caveman's and have to stay in and so on
anyway just want to say B12 is ok for ttc blue and RJ did not helped me a bit

[Flava]

Ladies- I have a question about the RJ/BP which one are you taking?

Hey Z! I know you are a original girl
I was taking the first RJ!

[3Pink1Blue]

Glad you are doing well Jen. I wish I could say the same
Your attempt is coming up soon, how exciting! are you still just DTD once? I know you were pretty strict on swaying and timing etc. When we conceived our son who we lost, I wasn't really strict on swaying so just trying to do the same. However, remember I said on IG before that I stopped swaying? well, I am back swaying now. I see everyone having little boys and I just feel I need to try to tip the odds in boy favour. My Dh is away for three days before I am due to O this month, on my birthday (28th)....so the abstinence will be perfect, four days and he doesnt have to know as he is opposed to swaying! I do need to raise my testosterone levels a bit, any suggestions?)
Good luck, FX for BFP for you this month!

I think part of why I'm doing well is I had so many unknowns. I don't know what went wrong and don't know the baby's gender as my uterus was already empty by the time I got to the hospital. The only thing I know for sure is based on blood work I was completely healthy. There was something wrong with my baby and that makes it much easier for me to just chalk it up to "sh*t happens" and move on. I don't envy the information you have

I have given up on the one time bd but we still aim for O day. I've relaxed a ton about the sway, I may fail but I won't be as miserable while trying. We aren't doing doggy, more of a missionary modified to be deeper. I'm a big fan of the gelatin to raise testosterone, works great for me
