First Boy Sway for end of October

[atomic sagebrush]

Looks great other than timing. While I agree timing doesnt sway, in your shoes I'd do every other day until you are fertile (test using OPK if possible) and then once you get a positive OPK try to have 3 attempts in the next 2 days. Most of us boy mom's got blue bundles from lots of attempts!

I totally agree with this. I think every 4 days is not quite often enough for a little man.

Most looking great - what is the deal with the supps?? ARe you not taking a straight prenatal? Or can't you due to the high Vit. D and high iron?

How much zinc?

Oh sorry should have read entire thread before answering. IN that case I'd also add in B complex

Thank you princess charlotte! Great to get another mother of boys opinion. I have incorporated fish oil in to my sway now after the suggestions here, and will definitely do the every other day for BD rather than every 4 days. And from this week I will be eating more salty snacks - I honestly thought I would be getting alot of sodium in what I had been eating but after tracking it for a week I'm not actually getting as much as I thought!! Love potato chips though so adding more is not a problem!

All the best of luck for your pink sway!!

Thanks atomic!

I hadn't even thought of the B complex - we have a giant tub in the cupboard for DH so I will start taking too. I have also added in fish oil based on the other ladies suggestions. I have been following the diet for about a week now and I think apart from these two add ins and the BD timing I don't think I need to alter too much, except for more salt! I actually haven't been getting as much as I thought. Doc will be happy as he has told me to up it in the past to help with poor circulation

Otherwise I have been on average eating about 200 cals more than I burn, and am at about 90-100g of protein a day with plenty of potassium. Eating a little bit more has actually been more of a challenge than I though!! But i think I have settled in to it now and it will be almost second nature

Thank you so much for your input - once I have an attempt in I will add details to the log you have going

I don't even think sodium sways blue, so if you're getting 3000-4000 mg a day I would just stick with that. The 5000-6000 mg that is advised on some sites is not healthy and I do not think it helps people get boys anyway.

PS - can I just say I LOVE that you want a boy for your first!! I did too and I was SO happy to get my much hoped for #1 son!!

Thanks so much for all the suggestions - I feel much more comfortable with my sway now!

I know we will be happy with whatever happens, but there is no harm in hoping! Atomic, it was great to read your back story in the 'How we got our boys' thread
