Mom to 3 girls.....2 failed sways. One more baby. Advice atomic?

[atomic sagebrush]

Oh sorry I think I started to reply and then must ahve gotten interrupted.

First of all hi and welcome. Glad you found us.

Our diet is super different than the other ones out there. Shettles doesn't work. pH doesn't work and BSF may even be worse than nothing for TTC a boy if you don't have much CM. Some of the commonly used supps are absolutely AWFUL for your health and lowered maternal condition may sway pink as well. TBH, it is a miracle to me that anyone ever gets boys with the traditional sway.

My advice would be, High Everything Diet, sensible supps (multivitamin, folic, Vit. D, fish oil, EPO or flaxseed for you, multi, Vit. D, and fish oil for DH), weight lifting, get plenty of rest for both you and DH, quit smoking if either of you do, keep caff and alcohol moderate or drop all together, DTD every 2-4 days and then 3-5 attempts at pos. OPK, and Preseed.

I am confused about this because I have heard negative things about doing the cut-off. I did a three day cut off the past two attempts and was unsuccessful. I am going to do the sperm meets egg plan this month. I got pregnant on it once before but it ended in a miscarriage. I'm pretty sure it's all just luck but I will keep trying different things until they work!!

Sperm meets egg plan is perfect for TTC a boy.

For those who are reading this and now confused, sometimes blue swayers refer to "cutoffs" as periods of time their husband does not release, and NOT the Shettles TTC a girl cutoff technique.

I did 4 day cutoff and it was a-gender boy diet. What is the quickest/ best way to up dh sperm count? Thanks ladies

quit smoking if he does
cut back on caff and alcohol
avoid hot baths and tight fitting underwear
stop jogging or cycling
multivitamin with 400 mcg folic and 20-25 mg zinc and vit D
fish oil
reg release every 2-4 days and 3-5 attempts at or around pos opk

Atomic is it best to try a few times on the day of ovulation and up to 12hrs later. Would
You suggest that this is the best time to conceive a boy?

[atomic sagebrush]

NO it is NOT best to wait till day of ovulation. It takes a LONG time for sperm to get to the egg and if you wait around till you've ovulated, you really cut down odds of conception by quite a lot (and effectively lower sperm numbers).

I think it's best to have 3-5 attempts at or around positive OPK. So just before, at, and just after.

Thanks atomic, well I just finished an attempt did what you suggested for boy, 2-4 days before than lots of Dtd after pos opk. My diet is usually girl friendly but with dd3 I was on more of a he style diet not exact though I didn't really like the A-gender diet so kinda just did my own variation and I did gain weight but still conceived a girl but what they told me to do was bsf week leading up to o 3 times on o day 3 rd time one hour before o. My ph was a 9 after bsf right before attempt and they said VERY boy friendly. Apparently not. Also, I was told to Dtd once 24 hours after pos opk. I think for us the biggest factor would attempting way more times near and around o. My second dd was 2 times after pos opk. First dd don't know but that is really the only thing we haven't tried yet. Duh likes his beaver buz though but had also stopped that conceiving dd3. So he doesn't think swaying works basically, he just wants to " let it happen" and what we get is what we get. Healthy is what is important . I don't think trying something a little diff hurts though

Hi Mackenzie, I purchased the platinum plus plan from A-gender and they were helping me all the way up to my first attempt last fall. They just stopped answering my emails and I got the message....I am curious to know when you had your failed sway? They kept boasting that their results were close to 100%....made me wonder looking back.

I also have 3 girls and would love a boy. I got pregnant using mostly a-gender diet in November but felt simply awful and miscarried in Dec. I think the diet was to blame for feeling awful.

I have been doing the HE diet since then and i'm waiting right now to test, no sign of AF, who is due tomorrow, so we'll see...the longer I am on the HE diet and on Genderdreaming, the more the Gender Dreaming way of swaying makes sense to me over the IG and a-gender methods.

Hope you find some info that helps you on here. Good luck!

Hi, well I had my dd may 28 last year so I got pregnant august 2010. They were good but said they were very busy and now you cannot even open a site anymore. Good luck, I hope you get a boy

Oh and also, is the vitamin spiralina ok? Thanks

Atomic, is it ok for me to take a prenatal vitamin as the multi vitamin? Materna is what I'm taking. Also how much of the fish oil, vit d and epo? Thanks

I prefer that people stay away from the seaweeds. They're just too great an unknown for health, let alone when TTC. Seaweeds make toxins as part of their growth and development, and while people do eat seaweed, it's in much smaller amounts than the highly concentrated supplement form.
