Does this look like a descend sway + questions?

[Tiggerian]

Right, so a little background info - I'm typical boy mum, so I'm trying to obsess now with planning my sway instead of when I get to the TTC'ing. I'm signing up for Dream member on monday and I'm genuinely really excited! Anyway - I have PCOS (or hyperandrogenism, my doc likes to call it) and will be taking Clomid.

First, some questions:

1) I take a dose of C-vit and zink a day - will this sway? Should I stop?
I don't take it because I need it.. I have a tendency to pick up colds and this helps keep them abay.

2) Can you take too much Aspartame?
- I drink 2 x peppermint tea with aspartame, my c-vits have aspartame and my fizzydrink choice (7up free) has aspartame. Is it too much?
- Since starting Aspartame my nose seem to have dried up a bit, is this a coincidence?

3) I've bought baby aspirin today. Do I take it every other day through out the cycle or only just before O?

4) Oh and I plan on abstaining for 1 week, then DTD everyday while ovulating. Is this OK for pink sway? Should I Jump and Dump when I'm on Clomid?

5) As on Clomid, should I demand US or just use ovulation sticks?

6) Are nachos OK? No meat, low fat cheese, guacamole, salsa and sourcreme. Or will I have to sit out on Nacho-tuesday?

And now to the sway I've so far cooked up:

Metformin 2 x 500mg
Clomid
Baby aspirin
Aspartame
- Should I add Soya isoflavins?
No breakfast, 2 meals a day (LE diet) + 1 snack if needed (because of blood sugar) - Aim at 1500kcal.
No red meat. Limit white meat to max 1 a week after O.
No Caffein.
Abstain 1 week, and BD through O.
Anything else?

OH smokes and drinks a lot of calories. He is generally quite unhealthy - high sugar, protein, salt and sat. fats. Low in fresh fruit and veg. Normal weight, but uses the PC a lot and is quite sedentary during the day. Our Doctor suspects he has low testosterone.

As far as i know any vitamins tend to sway blue but its up to you (although as you said they improve your bodies condition and fertility but i have heard somewhere (on another site) some girls take vit c to sway pink)

2) Can you take too much Aspartame?
- I drink 2 x peppermint tea with aspartame, my c-vits have aspartame and my fizzydrink choice (7up free) has aspartame. Is it too much?

I think for health reasons possibly but in terms of swaying its one of those each body is different things, if you find your not getting pregnant you can cut back. I tolerated quite a lot and drank tons whilst swaying and still got pregnant

3) I've bought baby aspirin today. Do I take it every other day through out the cycle or only just before O?

Take baby aspirin throughout the cycle but be careful with the amount, i'm sure AS said start at one every three or four days and you can increase it if your body is tolerating it (no bruising etc) to as much as you need. Again its an individual thing and in some women it can thin the lining if you take too much (something clomid can do to) so again if your not getting pregnant you can cut back, i took it every three days. DO NOT stop it at bfp though, you need to wean off it slowely throughout first tri mester (or you could risk blood clots esp in placenta if you drop it cold turkey)

4) Oh and I plan on abstaining for 1 week, then DTD everyday while ovulating. Is this OK for pink sway? Should I Jump and Dump when I'm on Clomid?

How old is your dh? If he is over 35 do FR not abstain. Otherwise just bear in mind if you dtd more than once during o week its not fr or abstain anymore, you may need to do abstain then compressed fr. You need 7 days plus of fr to do proper fr before the attempt. We did fr starting cd3, dtd starting cd9, o on cd15/16 so 14 releases by o

5) As on Clomid, should I demand US or just use ovulation sticks?

I used ov sticks and they worked fine for me, my doctor had no interest in monitoring me at only 50mg dose

6) Are nachos OK? No meat, low fat cheese, guacamole, salsa and sourcreme. Or will I have to sit out on Nacho-tuesday?

watch the salt in the nachos for le diet but i cheat once a week won't break a sway anyway

And now to the sway I've so far cooked up:

Metformin 2 x 500mg
Clomid
Baby aspirin
Aspartame
- Should I add Soya isoflavins? - NO not if doing clomid

No breakfast, 2 meals a day (LE diet) + 1 snack if needed (because of blood sugar) - Aim at 1500kcal.
No red meat. Limit white meat to max 1 a week after O.
No Caffein.
Abstain 1 week, and BD through O.
Anything else? - YES folic acid!!!!!!

OH smokes and drinks a lot of calories. He is generally quite unhealthy - high sugar, protein, salt and sat. fats. Low in fresh fruit and veg. Normal weight, but uses the PC a lot and is quite sedentary during the day. Our Doctor suspects he has low testosterone. EXCELLENT will sway pink for you!!!

Only other thing i would pick out is how long do you have on clomid (have you used it before) and do you really need it to get pregnant. If the answer is yes or not long be prepared to compromise fast as this could stop you catching although if you sway too hard. You could do a harsh sway first month or so and then keep dropping things so you have enough tries to catch before the clomid runs out if you need to.

Also you may want to consider doing SP and Vitex af to af (no ttc) the month before you try if you want the added swaying power of that to. Otherwise, good luck - i hope your little pink bundle finds a way back to you and heals the whole your Lily left a little bit xxxxxx

AH yea Folic acid I'm already taking so I didn't think to put them on. My OH is in his 20s.

I should have 6 months on Clomid - I did take it before for two months, I stopped though as I had to go back to my native country for a while due to a family crisis. When I got back I got pregnant without using it, but m/c. I didn't take it again as my cycles returned to normal after the m/c. Then worsened after my DS2 was born and haven't been normal since his birth. (which is why I need it)

[Mrs_P]

In my opinion i think you could do a super strict sway the first one or two cycles then dropping things after that if needed but maybe plan at least 2 months just ttc with no sway factors if you need it to get pregnant (particularly if you want another baby regardless of gender).

I was lucky in that i was using it for swaying so even if i used up all of my months i could still try naturally

[Tiggerian]

Well - I want a baby regardless of gender, but I'd prefer a girl. I'd be sad and disappointed if I had another son, but come to terms with it and love him as much as a girl.

I've got no problem getting pregnant once I ovulate. I do m/c a lot, but I'll be talking to my doc about getting some progesteron. With my DD and my boys I've gotten pregnant after DTD only once in the month.

I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this!!!

1)Vitamins do tend to sway blue and I would have you avoid them if possible.

2)The level of aspartame you use is really up to you - I recommend people stick to 2-3 servings a day and no more (that is the amount the FDA has approved for use during pg) Some people use a lot more and are comfy doing so - that's up to you. I got a boy using aspartame and then my girl without it - I do think it sways pink but is no magic bullet.

3)Baby aspirin, just like Mrs. P already explained, you can take all month long and then gradually wean off of after BFP.

4)The guide to swaying while on Clomid is here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...art-2-a-9.html

5)Clomid + Met is a great pink sway. Don't use soy and clomid together.

6)You can have caffeine, the idea that caff sways blue has been debunked.

7)I tend to like abstain + one attempt rather than switching to several releases in a row after abstain.

[atomic sagebrush]

Nachos are ok as long as you stick within your day's limits. I would skip the guacamole and just have the rest.

Your DH qualities are all good for a girl - hope this is it for you!!
