[zanacal]

Thank you and congratulations!

zanacal i am 28, hubby is 43.
and congrats too...

Thank you! I think if DH is over 35 then abstinence is not advisable BUT I don't know if that would be negated by DTD twice following that time-frame and not using the first batch. I hope Atomic will be able to help you with that question!

I *think* I read that licorice root raises estrogen for DH, but I've read so much over the past several days, that I'm not sure.

Even without DH working double shifts, the frequent releasing is getting hard. We're on CD 7 and we've been releasing every day (missed one day) and we stepped it up to twice a day this morning. Just this evening, I was thinking about how my baby dancing parts are getting tired. LOL!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with these questions.

Atomic Sagebrush or any other experts- can you weigh in on the plan and the questions I've posted? Thank you ever so much. I've been learning so incredibly much and I appreciate all the help!

I'm sorry, I am away from home 4 days a week for the last few months so I answer as quick as I can!!

squamgirl liquorice can cause miscarriage and early labour for pregnant women, my pharmacist told me that during my last pregnancy.

atomic sagebrush, can i get a copy of that diet please?

also a question about the "releasing", how long should DH be doing this for before TTC, he is currently working 2 jobs, and is too tired to do anything most of the time, so im not sure how successfull we will be at this part.
how essential is this part?

dannikins, it's already in the Dream Members section and available to you. I should have the cookbook ready shortly in the DM section and I am about to start posting several of the sections that are basically done so there will be a lot of recipes and food suggestions coming soon..

I totally agree about the licorice root, and it's also been linked to birth defects. Plus it causes high blood pressure when taken for more than a few weeks and that is not something you want to have going into pregnancy.

1)Unfortunately, declining maternal condition does seem to sway pink, while improving maternal condition sways blue. Getting yoru body healthy, while I think it's a fantastic idea and the right thing to do in your circumstances, is going to sway blue. That's ok though. By focusing more on what your husband is bringing to the table, you can still have a decent sway. The LE diet is actually quite healthy when not taken to extremes and it's a diet you can stay on in the long term - that was my main purpose in creating the diet, because some of the swaying diets are just not healthy for people.

I'll PM it to you happily but I do hope you'll consider becoming a member to help support the site, because the site's founder has had to pay for a lot of expenses out of pocket and we don't have ads like some of the sites do.

2)I strongly urge you to stop the licorice root. Western medicine frowns upon licorice root prior to and during pg, it may cause miscarriage and birth defects, and it's also not healthy for you to take in the long term, it will completely mess up your electrolyte levels and cause high blood pressure (proven.) Plus, in terms of swaying, it raises estrogen which may sway blue anyway.

3)You can either do a jump and dump or not, with the RepHresh. It all depends on how big a hurry you're in to get pg. We're flexible around here - no right or wrong way to do it. Personally with your frequent release plan, plus RepHresh and antihistamine, I'd prob. forgo the jump and dump but that's at your discretion.

4)Cutoff timing is a bad idea because it is a bunch of work and effort that has the potential to raise testosterone (the sort of obsessive, detail-oriented project that tends to raise testosterone) so you may end up trading something that does not sway in any way (timing) for a bump in testosterone that will sway blue to some extent.

5)If your husband is capable of that level of release for 7-10 consecutive days, that's great and is an intriguing idea that I had not seen before. In fact, even if he can't do it for the full 7 days I suspect that amount of releasing will still be swaying pink. The only downside is that some people fear that frequent release inside the woman has the potential to raise pH, but the RepHresh should take care of that.

6)With all the rest of the stuff you're doing, I would not use the VCF. I like spermicide as an option for people who don't WANT to do a lot of other stuff or whose husbands will not cooperate wtih abstaining/frequent release. You certainly don't need to include it if you're already doing a lot of things to sway, but of course that's at your discretion!!

7)Personally I would wait a month and give vitex at the least a try but then again, it may be a good idea to try with the VCF like you're saying this first month with the understanding that you're prob. not going to get pg this month.

4)Timing doesn't sway. If it makes you happy to have a cutoff, go for it. The only downside is that the work it takes to temp and monitor ovulation, has actually had a negative effect for some people...they get so obsessed over swaying that it ends up raising their testosterone and inadvertently swaying blue.

yep its me...lol.. i joined last week, thanks to some recommendations from FF.

and thanks for making this post, you have basically all the same questions as me....lol
the frequent release thing may be a problem with hubby working double shifts almost everyday, so im just wondering if there is some other way to do it.

what does the licorice do for DH as far as swaying goes?, i know they say he should take it, but im not sure why...

Licorice root raises estrogen and lowers testosterone, which is ideal for DH. For DW, higher estrogen increases CM and may sway blue.

[atomic sagebrush]

You have to be a dream member to have access to the low everything diet. Licorice root is good for dh only and has been shown to cause MC do not take it.Its also not even good for your girl swaying hormones,take Saw palmetto to lower your T if you can.

Queen, I will PM it to any regular members...I just don't want it to be stolen and reposted everywhere like the IG stuff was and I one million percent don't want the people who are charging $1000 or more for "gender swaying" diets to have access to it.

[atomic sagebrush]

Do Vitex and Saw Palmetto need to be used together? Reading about Vitex- I don't feel good using it. I need to learn more about Saw Palmetto now.

No, they don't. The vitex is much "safer" and well-observed in the long term than the SP is.
