TTC BOY! Need Atomic help regarding HE diet

[Dreaming blue]

Hello All,

I am very much confused with Shettle's one attempt and multiple attempts during fertile window.
Also seeking for vegetarian HE diet as planning TTC in feb 2016.


Need lots of blue dust!

I'm not sure what the Shettles "rules" are but I got all four of my boys with multiple attempts during the fertile window so I'm convinced that's how you get a boy.
I can't help with the diet, sorry

I got my two boys (before I knew about swaying) by eating lots of nutrient rich veggies (broccoli, spinach), red meat, oily fish, avocado, eggs. I snacked a lot in between meals and then hubby and I dtd every second day after AF ended, so LOTS of attempts throughout the month. So I basically did everything right to sway blue 😂

DB I have your questionnaire and it will really help a lot for me to get you your plan.

Most of us have 2-3-4 or more Shettles opposites so it is easy for us to give that up. Timing doesn't sway, it's been totally debunked and you can read about it here. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html

But, if you really want to stick with Shettles, that is ok. Just have your husband release on his own or with you, with a condom, every 2-4 days starting as far in advance of your sway as is possible. Then, you will be taking OPK (unless you have a super regular cycle) and then you'd have three attempts, one at positive OPK (or day before expected O Day), again the next morning (O Day) and then again the following night (night of O Day.) These are all within Shettles window for blue and allows you to do timing but still have 3 attempts.

DO NOT have just one attempt for a boy!!

Thank you so much Atomic! So today(Jan. 29) is my second day of AF and we will plan our first BD tomorrow then after every two days with condom. I have 34 days cycle and most probably my O day will be on Feb 14 or Feb 15(quarter moon).

Now could you please help me out when I will stop BDing before ovulation in number of days and when should start again. I really want my blue bundle and this is my last attempt.

I have Clear blue advanced OPK.

My diet as follows:
Banana, lots of coconut water, cereals with pumpkin seeds, raisins, walnuts, ACV, green tea, brocolli, sweet potato, 2 cups of milk(DHA omega3),lentils with whole wheat bread, pineapple, papaya etc.
Vitamins:
Royal jelly, vitamin E and folic acid (DW)
Fish oil and folic acid (DH)

I did your plan Dreaming and this is covered in there but I'll just go over it again for others who are also wondering.

You have TWO options. If you really, really want to keep Shettles timing, you will wait for positive OPK (or the day before ovulation if you are not using OPK) and have an attempt that night (which is the day before O day) again the next morning (O Day) and then again that night (O Day.) So you'll have 3 attempts in a short window all of which coincide with Shettles. You would have your husband release on his own or with you, with a condom, every 2-4 days.

The other option is for people who are ok with giving up Shettles (which doesn't work and most of us have 2-3-4 or more timing opposites) for a possibly better chance of blue. Regular exposure to the hormones in your husband's semen may sway blue, so many people are instead having unprotected sex every 2-4 days, then still having the 3 attempts starting positive OPK/day before ovulation. So you'd have sex without condom every 2-4 days and then at positive OPK or the day before you expect ovulation, have attempt that night, again the next morning (O Day) and then the following night (O Day)

These types of foods are good, but I want you to be very sure you're getting protein and carbs at every meal and snack. A banana, or some pineapple, alone isn't enough, you need to have some protein with it. So if you were to have a banana and some walnuts that is great! Cereal with milk is great!

What are you having with the broccoli and the sweet potato?? They are good foods but you need to have something with protein. Do you eat eggs at all or not?? Tofu? Cheese? A couple times a week it is ok to have tofu. I often had sweet potato with cheese or peanut butter on top (I know it sounds terrible but it's actually good). If you have a lot of veg. curries with sweet potatoes and peas, the peas have protein in them.

I DO NOT want you doing ACV. ACV lowers blood sugar and I believe it sways pink. Some people have gotten away with using it for blue but it's only because they're eating all the time. Many of our opposites during the first year of our site, were in women doing ACV. I think it is too risky and I prefer you use the lemon water option I mention in your sway plan, instead.
