Dreamingofpink welcome and good luck with your sway, I'm with Zanacal after reading do much here I'd say diet and ph ate important, timing not so much!

Mummy pink congratulations on your bfp! Hope you hear pink

Mummies I need your advise on toilet training, I thought we had it sorted but Charlie seems to have regressed over the last mOnth and I'm at my wits end
He keeps going to the toilet in his pants, both number 1s and 2s, some days he's fine and others he just doesn't bother with it even when I ask he will say he doesn't need to go.
I know he understands when I tell him it's naughty but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Help

Thank you all so much for your kind and understanding words. I'm not sure if I was on the LE diet, what does LE stand for? I ate a very low sodium & potassium diet with lots of calcium & magnesium. Plus calcium & magnesium supplements. I really was so strict I was cooking separate meals for me, drinking 1 & half pints of milk a day & 2 yoghurts daily too! No yeast, very low sugar and small portions of all the allowed food. I think now it was probably too extreme, I never tested my PH though. I have kept the best bits of the diet, i.e plenty of yoghurt and milk, and try to keep salt down and still haven't had a banana! I only ever drink water & milk anyway so I'd like to think that my diet already sways pink though not as extreme as before. Is that the same as the LE diet? After a long emotional year I just want a baby now! It's just so lovely to find a community of like-minded ladies, I'm looking forward to following all of your stories!

I just wrote the longest post and lost it! I know there are better descriptions of the LE diet elsewhere on the site anyway so I'll try and find a good link for you!

The 4th link in that thread is to a post which explains the difference between a traditional (or IG style) sway and the GD sway.

Zanacal-Thank you so much for that link! The information in those threads is mind-blowing! I had no idea how much new research had been done and brought together beautifully by Atomic Sagebrush (thank you too!) I was totally on a traditional IG girl diet with a strict 3 day cut-off and wondered why on earth it's taken me over a year of trying and still not conceived (well, as far as I know at the mo!) I always felt diet had something to do with it, but the types of food ate didn't seem to tie in with all of the people on a typical western diet who manage to have girls no problem. The low blood sugar 'low-everything' way makes a lot of sense as I guess our bodies are sensitive to small changes. I'm really glad that I didn't conceive whilst on the super-strict diet and stressing so much about timing as my T levels must've been through the roof - I'm only guessing. I'm going to go mostly veggie now, feeling fed up with meat even before finding this website. However, skipping brekkie will be hard!! Are there any links to the foods that we can eat and amounts on this website? Not too worried about menus/recipes though. I've fast become addicted to this website and guess that losing weight and eating less meat and a lot more veggies will help me regardless! Thank you so much.

Dream of pink - that info is in the dream members section ($12 a year subscription) along with lots of other information and a ttc a girl board which Atomic deals with as a priority over the other forum - though she had her baby yesterday so I hope she's not there today!

[Dreamofpink]

Zanacal - Thank you, I'll check that out.
