EWCM

[queen-of-harts]

Very interesting! Obviously not about the EWCM then!! Did you sway with any of your boys?

I swayed a couple times with cutoff,calmag,Cranberry,high dairy,lime tampon...stuff like that.Those were my 8 and 6 year olds.I drank so much Kefir and homemade rice pudding with the six year old haha

With the coffee to ttc girl, I recently cut out coffee on advice from a fertility gender sway specialist who still invests heavily in timing and IG diet.
One benefit from cutting out the coffee is that it helped me get pregnant (even though I ended up miscarrying at 7 weeks).
I'm going back into coffee again as per atomic's advice that it does strongly sway for girl but have a few questions.
1. What are your thoughts on coffee reducing fertility?
2. Atomic mentioned that you need to drink 3 cups a day for it to show best evidence for girl sway, is that the same for all (ie. those who previously drank coffee and those who don't usually drink coffee?)
Ie. can someone who doesn't drink coffee at all get away with less cups (ie. just one a day)?

As far as I understand - the reason behind the coffee is that it does reduce fertility and that's why it sways pink (anything that makes you less fertile sways pink). I only manage two cups a day but used to drink none so hoping it is the change that matters. If you are having trouble with fertility in the first place, I don't know how wise the coffee is?? Hopefully someone else can answer that. What does your specialist say about timing then? I am interested as in the stats, 14 out of 16 people who did 4 or more days before ovulation did get a girl. Although I know it is hard to get pregnant at all at this time....

1)I am not sure that coffee is the reason why you had miscarriages though. I don't know how it works, only that it is seeming to. It may not be lowering fertility. That is just a theory. I hate to see you guys get so overly focused on the theory (which are guesses about how something works) that we lose sight of just doing what is working. Coffee has gotten good results for us. Don't know why!

2) I think it's fine for anyone not used to coffee to have only 1 cup a day. I don't know if it sways as strongly, but certainly it would be better than not having any.

I answered your question about timing in depth in a different thread - but short version - we have no idea when the people who reported their data in our statistics actually ovulated and neither do they.

I base my recommendations on studies that use modern technology to detect ovulation and they say timing doesn't work. Studies in which ovulation is pinned down chemically or via ultrasound are far more reliable than those that just have some random person guessing about when they had an attempt in relation to their ovulation.

You are always welcome to do timing if you like, but please do not base your swaying decisions on something in our stats that cannot be verified as true with any level of certaintly.
