DECEMBER chit chat thread BLUE swayers

[The Anchor]

Hi everyone.
Only been away a night and what a flurry of activity...
Welcome to sera, spring and sugar.
Afy, I'm taking wheatgrass sups I got from the health food shop as I can't stomach anymore vileness in my v8 boy swill concoction. They are 500mg per capsule and it says to take 4 a day which I do.
On top of what you are planning to take and Cinss' additions I am taking Royal Jelly, Maca powder and also Bulgarian Tribulus from CD5 - O. The Tribulus is not recommended by Atomic however so make sure you look into that your self before making any decisions. I have a naturopath at my health food shop and after talking with her felt fine taking it. Good luck Anchor! If I get a BFP this month I'll have baby before my 40th...if I conceive next month or after it will be either on or after my 40th.
Just got back from visiting my mum and had a super full bladder held for 3 hours in the car!!! Decided to test but it was negative...will test again in the morning but CD11 is usually earliest for me (tomorrow). BB's are slightly tender which is not normal but have had once or twice before when not PG so who knows???
Am ok if I don't get a BFP this month..I want a little boy so much am happy to wait another cycle and more diet time can only help.
Cinss and Dloui, did you guys drink any alcohol when you were swaying? I have had a glass of red on fri and sat since starting my sway (vastly reduced form normal - usually 2 or 3 glasses of white wine 4 nights a week). I am about to go on holidays and was wondering if a glass of red here and there is good for boy or not?

Oh boy (lol) you're going to test tomorrow...how exciting! The one thing I have heard about drinking is if you MUST stick to red wine which has loads of resveratrol (anti oxidant). I'll probably be having a glass or two over the holidays...

did any one try maca powder ?? i was thinkin to add some to my smoothie but i already add raw egg to it ..

I am taking the maca root in capsule form. I do believe I noticed a difference, a little more "into" getting the deed done

Lol anchor I did Read its suppose to help with reproductive system and libido so does that mean increased testosterone ??

[The Anchor]

Hmmmm...good question. I had read it was great for fertility and smoothing about hormones. Could be?

I just bought some wheatgrass it's 1000mg .. Can we just take 2 of them? How much do we need to take??
And the maca I went to vitamin shoppe only to find it in the men's health section and couldn't buy it lol!

So much for declining fertility after 35... my 39 year old egg has been fertilized first go. Hubby slightly disappointed as he loved all the multiple attempts.
Here's hoping, praying, chanting or whatever is necessary it goes the journey and is my very much desired little man.

I started the diet in Jan. I have added and taken away sups since then I ttc then but took a break for a couple of months, I started back with diet and ttc hard core 3 months ago now I am at the point that I really want to be pregnant by Feb so I only have 2 more months, I am still in my 2ww this time but I am just trying to prepare.

Well best of luck for a bfp soon. If i was you i would just make a decision of what supps to keep then stick to that, maybe starting and stopping them may confuse your body and i was guilty of that at the beginning of my sway too. Sometimes it has nothing to do with what we are doing and it can just take a while to get pregnant. It was 10 months for me.

Hi, I am new here and would like to join the thread. (I have been lurking forever). I have two girls and am swaying for a boy. Started diet and sups in Nov ready for my first attempt end of Jan. I already starting to worry as I am not taking as much as you all seem to be. I can't stomach even a sip of the V8, yeast or gelatin. I am hoping my nut intake and weight training will tip the balance.

Welcome, in the end i wasnt drinking v8 it got too expensive for me along with everything else. So for the 3 months before my bfp i only drank water and some alcohol on friday nights. I ate lots of nuts and did lots of weights the only supps i kept were fish oil and pre natal. You dont have to do all the things just enough to be able to say its quite diffetent to how i used to be.
