New and extremely confused

[atomic sagebrush]

Thank you I will read those. I just read one of your posts about o+12 and am feeling like I now have no idea what I'm doing �� lol

If you want to start off using O+12, that's cool. This is YOUR sway, your way. But just DTD 48 hours after first positive OPK, and don't stress yourself out by doing all the cervix poking and prodding. DTD once 48 hours after positive OPK is like the "dummies" version of O+12.

So if you don't advocate for timing when do you suggest dtd? I think I read somewhere on here ever 4 days is that correct? I thought that was blue territory though? I see you say abstaining sways pink ,but for how long? I was going to do FR because my husband doesn't seem fond of the idea of abstaining and I don't think he will :-(

Don't even worry about it - most of our husbands are testosterone machines and would do nothing to help sway! (including mine!)

The abstain, we started off thinking it would really help, but we tracked our results and it's been kinda poopy actually. So if he won't do it, wave it buh-bye and don't even give it a second thought. YOu can either have him release on his own or with you, with a condom, every 2-4 days, OR have him "do what he does" without even worrying about it. The important thing is (and this surprised us too) is keeping to one unprotected attempt in the fertile window. Regardess of the day of the attempt, regardless of what hubby did for frequency, that one attempt has been pure gold for us.

The every 4 days method is just a kind of painless way of ensuring that you have one attempt in that fertile window. If you do that, you'll be certain of having one attempt without really even thinking about it. I know it seems crazy "uncontrolled" compared to the IG way (which involves hunting down every possible sway "factor" and beating it into submission LOL) but we have found, time and again, that holding on too hard, trying to control too much is a recipe for boys. :/ Weird but true.

One more question!

So if no egs, what about his ph? Doesn't matter? He's an 8. He injects testosterone. Do u you still think tbm with lime isn't necessary?

Thanks :-)

Yet another essay, this one on pH here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ph-pickle.html

This is one of those things where those of us who have pH opposites - it's easier for us to walk away from it. I got my 4th boy with a pH of 4.5-5 that never went up till I was already pregnant, so it was very easy for me to take a pass on that. I also started off swaying back in 2007/8 with a bunch of ladies who were doing all this stuff with limes and TBM and many of them never got pregnant at all doing that (some ended up with no baby at all still to this day becuase they wasted so much time on douching and O+12, and many others got opposites). One of my goals for this site is to get the max number of people pregnant with their desired gender, within a reasonable time, and when people are going on swaying for many months or even years, then getting oppostites anyway, that is not cool in my book.

These big superinvolved projects - they do something to us mentally/emotionally that sways hugely blue. So it's an advantage of the KISS principle (Keep it simple, sweetie) that it may even help your sway not to do them - But at the end of it all, it's your sway and you have to do what YOU are going to be happy about at the end of the day. TBM with lime is way better than the EGS stuff!!

Re testosterone - testosterone has not been proven for DW, let alone for DH. When I actuallly hunted down all the studies and read them, I was SHOCKED at how flimsy all the data is. We have other info that indicates that guys who are "juicing" and are very high in unnatural testosterone actually are having more GIRLS than boys. Additionally, Clomid, which raises testosterone levels has been swaying pink when taken by DW. So testosterone has a big "unknown" stamped on it in my mind. I certainly wouldn't resort to EGS because of that.

Thank you so much.

I've already began the process of returning my microscope to its seller. It feels like a relief. I did already read the ph pickle and it does make sense. It's so hard to accept it, though, because it blatantly contradicts everything I've been learning these last few months.


I was wondering about the cardio. Since starting the IG diet I've lost 5lbs. I'm currently 112 lbs. If I start exercise I know from experience more weight will just melt off. Is it ok to become pregnant at a low weight like 100-105 lbs?

My gut says no. I believe I was around 110 when I conceived all 3 of my boys.

I'm sorry to jump on this post but I can't figure out how to write my own post . I have been sticking to a vegetarian diet for 4 weeks and no breakfast but I am struggling with the LE . I eat a lot of sweets and chocolate does sugar sway blue ? What sort of things should I be eating ? Do I have to pay for this info or could someone please point me in the right direction ? X

Atomic, why is the fiber necessary?

[Kmomofthree]

Yes I forgot you said fiber. Is there a supp I should add for that?

So far I'm taking calcium, magnesium, cranberry, saw palmetto, acidophilus, folic acid. After reading one of your essays I have started to taper down the cranberry. I was going to order clomid and have 1 peppermint tea a day.

Overkill? My cycles are normal, 25 days.

Oh and I order vitex yesterday Am I doing too much lol
