    What cardio is everyone doing?

    I'm a Shaun T insanity junkie but I love cathe fredrich and amy bento workouts too. For sway purposes I am sticking to 70-80 min on the elliptical. I hope to start up t25 after Bfp

    I did 30 mins on the bike and 30 mins on the x trainer or walking on the treadmill during my pink sway. It's the time spent with increased heat rate that's important I think. So going for an hours brisk walk everyday would be just at good.

    Oh and just fyi, I wasn't working out at all when conceiving any of my boys, so step cardio played no part in my boy conceptions.

    I'm a dancer so I choose dancy stuff. Again I wasn't dancing in my twenties at all so it didn't play a part in my boys. I love zumba, also love the Dance Central games on the Xbox kinect but the kinect is usually not intense enough for me to get my heartrate up anymore.
    Well, you know me, I'm always trying to do the "optimal" thing - I absolutely do think you can get girls doing step, don't get me wrong, but I think not doing step stuff may be more "optimal"

    Mum4life, my best friend is anorexic, vegetarian (but does eat fish especially salmon, which sways blue) and runs long distance daily. She has 3 boys. But she eats very healthy food including lots of nuts, dairy, salmon, takes vitamins, and I think she snacks, too. So I assume something (multiple things, really) in her body sways very strongly blue and she'd need to sway pretty strictly as well as relax her personality. She has a total Martha boy mom personality. I wish I could get her to sway pink for a 4th, just to see what works for her!

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    I hear ya! And see, my old Martha-self would've resigned myself to only doing the 'optimal' thing quite obsessively. I really do think in recent years I've gotten more laid back, because what I'm thinking now is more that I like to do what I like to do and it's 'close enough' and doesn't have to be obsessively 'the best option in every category', yk? I think obsessing about only doing THE BEST thing for the sway all the time will be swaycessing.
    Me (38) and DH (38)

    SAHM military momma to DS1 (2004), DS2 (who's all boy but loves to dance, though not in a tutu!) (2006), DS3 (2009), and our rainbow baby girl DD1 (2017)

    early m/c Jan 2013

    Cycle #1 @ HRC (Oct 2014) - 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized and biopsied. 1XX and 1XY abnormal. 1XX no DNA found, rebiopsied and found normal, frozen.
    FET attempt #1 (Nov 2014) - cancelled due to functional cyst. FET attempt #2 (Jan 30, 2015) - NT. Remaining embie failed to thaw.

    May 2015 - started infertility treatments at OFC. Femara 2.5mg
    July 2015 - BFP after second round of Femara. Aug 4 2015 - 6w4d
    Dec 21 2015 - mmc 7w1d

    Apr 2016 - IVF Cycle #2. Converted to IUI because of uneven response and leading follicles.
    Apr 19, 2016 - IUI with 3 mature follicles (2 right, 1 left), post wash: 17mil, 94% motility and 89% rapid motility. BFN.

    June 3, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 5w.
    Sep 1, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 8w.

    Our rainbow baby girl arrived on Mon Aug 28, 2017 - "After every storm comes a rainbow". We are so thankful and grateful for every moment.

    I am wanting insanity max30, but not sure how good it would be to do while pregnant. If they are anything like the asylum programs I will wait until I'm not swaying or pregnant & probably not while breastfeeding either:/. Looks like there is no rush for me.....

    I have seen TONS of women with eating disorders with all boys. I think this is a huge connection with the Mary-Martha thing.
