Sway for pink questions

[Debahlgrim]

1. My hubby and I have colds. Is this good for TTC girl or is it because of the antihistimines taken when someone is sick?

2. Yesterday morning and evening and this morning the OPK line seems to be as dark- maybe a little tiny bit lighter. Is that the surge or is it on the way up? I tend to O late. I'm on CD 15 today.

3. Should we go for 0+12 for the heck of it? Or just wait until I can exercise more and lose more weight?

Colds as said to sway pink but not sure why and not very much. OPKs are sensitive. For a true positive it should be as dark as the control line. Slightly lighter may mean you are close to a positive OR you missed the serge and it just passed. O +12 is not recommended at all on this site- for any sway. For one attempt in your fertility window (for pink), you should have your attempt the day you get your positive OPK not when you expect to O. LE diet is best when on for 12 weeks. It is not just about the weight loss, it is about the diet limits as a whole but if have weight to lose it is a definite plus. If you care more about getting pregnant than having a girl then go for it. If you really want a girl- wait till up you have been on the LE diet for at least a little while.

Thank you so much for replying! I have been on weight watchers and losing weight since June. I lost about 10 pounds the first six weeks and then August I held steady and now I'm back to it. It's a low cal diet- about 1500 calories a day.

There's a decent chance you are close to or within the limits for the LE diet doing weight watchers. Are you taking any supplements or anything?

Congrats on the weight loss, that is awesome. I would check your WW diet with the LE diet limits. It is not just low calorie. I know when I have gone on "diets" in the past they focus on high protein but the LE is lower protein limits and lower fat. Weight loss is great for girl though, but it is not just about that so don't get too wrapped around it.

You said you were taking other vitamins too and they sway strong blue so if I was you I would stop the vitamins and wait if you really want girl. When I found this site I was on tons of vitamins (including a multi vitamin prenatal) thinking that is what I should be doing for TTC. Once I saw that vitamins swayed so boy I dropped them all and bought a folic acid only pill.

It is totally your call to try or not this cycle. I know the info on this site can feel overwhelming and can make you have to unlearn things other sites or the Internet say. Just remember this site takes their advice off true science research and off what has been proven to work or not work for thousands of woman. You got this!!!

Once I saw that vitamins swayed so boy I dropped them all and bought a folic acid only pill and took a cycle off TTC to give the vitamins time to get out of my system a bit and to get going on the LE. For me the time off was more worth it because even though I really wanted to be pregnant, it felt more important to increase my sway for girl.

I cross checked the WW diet with LE and everything is within the limits! Yay! I wasn't taking any vitamins at all- prenatal every once in a while when I remembered. Then I took Mag/Cal for two days but stopped lol. Now I'm just taking folic acid.

So I'm thinking new plan... Continue with WW, work out cardio 5 days a week for at least an hour. I'm thinking I will try in a month next cycle with abstinence and one shot 2 days before O. Do you think that the timing is ok? To try 4 weeks from now?

Awesome that WW is the same!! That means you already have a good amount of time under your belt.

Haha- I thought you were on the Mag/cal for a while, two days is nothing.

One attempt in the fertility window is what is important so it is not the actually timing of two days before O that matters but if that is how you want to plan it, that is good. It is still good though 3 before or 1 before or 12h before, just as long as it is one attempt. Hoping you get your BFP first try!!

Thank you so much for your time and insight! I just had a 60min cardio workout! I really want this girl so I don't look back and say "I wish I had done this or that"

It's so hard to be patient isn't it?

Pinning down ovulation in advance is unreliable, especially when swaying since it can change your cycle. I don't put any stock in timing/cut offs at all, so I would do one attempt at a positive OPK. I would be worried about Oing late and missing it.
