Blue Swayers daily chat thread!!!

[Throwaway_panther]

Atomic always says no food is make or break. More eggs, even if not every day, than you had before is still something. The larger amounts of eggs are supposed to be for vegetarian sways, as well.

For that mug cake recipe -- I know I just said no food is make or break, but aren't artificial sweeteners sort of a no no for blue sways? I know Stevia's natural and a bit more neutral, but Swerve is often used by diabetics because it doesn't raise blood sugar -- which is what Atomic recommends doing for blue sways, yes?

Swerve is mainly erythritol, which is a sugar alcohol and its quite new to the market. Neither swerve or stevia have carcinogens or toxins (which would hinder fertility) and they are the only two forms of sugar substitutes I allow my clients for that very reason

From my understanding, what we want to see in a blue sway when it comes to blood sugar, its a steady blood sugar level. No spiking in either direction, hence, the consistent eating/snacking.

Hi guys,

I've stayed away awhile because I felt like I was having issues being understood on here, but thought I'd jump back in.

It had turned out I was pregnant during that time in what I've called the "high school horror story" since we were doing extremely cautious pulling out while I EBF (even though I had gotten back my period at 5 weeks postpartum), so I got pregnant from "precum." We ended up losing it around 7 weeks.

That bummed me out enough to want to come back here, but I held off. I wrestled with a lot of things, but mostly had to deal with the relief it was to have myself fall pregnant without "trying" as it felt like an answer to a lot of things I was going through. To then lose that answer was crushing.

Now I'm back now because one of my good friends just found out she's having a boy; her and her husband felt and thought girl, I literally had a dream about them having a boy weeks ago -- bam, boy. Obviously my dream was from my own desires, but it's hard to see that keep happening around me, especially after a loss that I *did* feel was a boy, and miscarriages are most often boys, though obviously my intuition could be thrown by my desires too.

Sorry to be a killjoy -- just though I'd check in, especially since I now have to process yet another person around me having a boy I so desperately want.

Just wanted to pop in and say Welcome back!! I am so sorry about your loss! I am sorry to hear about the drama, too! I am glad you're back... and know how you feel. Right now being pregnant with #5 so close with my other kiddos, I am excited and nervous but I know I can't take anyone else having another boy around me, haha!

Y'all, when you're eating your eggs make sure you are getting a carb... like an orange or something with it! Protein is great and eggs are for sure on the diet just remember to add that carb to stabilize your BS!
Good luck to those trying this cycle!!

Thanks bre! Also, your family photo is stuuuunning. What a breathtaking family! I think about your sway all the time, haha -- I feel like I've never wanted anyone else to get something so badly, so I'm rooting for your boy so much!

How much longer do you guys have before finding out the sex?

Thank you! I love that picture, too! I am so glad we got these Cherry Blossom pictures done while we were in Korea!! That is the sweetest, thank you!! It's so funny I think about my sway allll the time, too! I am grateful I work or I'd be a basket case!

We have an elective scan on the 21st of Dec!! I'll be about 14wks. Our 9th anniversary is also the 19th! So, I am praying baby is cooperative, healthy, and, a boy (haha).

Soooo, I had the big temp drop this morning and I've been in a horrible mood since yesterday. It's safe to say AF is due to arrive any moment today, God willing.

CD1, here I come!
