Cut offs

[TTC5]

Thanks Atomic!
Have had a pretty good cycle this last one (even tho not knowing 100% when I o'd I think it was close to day 14) and I am spotting this morning day 28

Oh god, this is it..... lol..... eeeekkk!!

well said. even tho i saythat i NEED stricter guidelines, its more about me being strict with my own set of rules, not necessarily forcing ppl around me to be the same way. when i do something i do it all the way. i know in my heart that NONE of this stuff is 100% proven or will work for sure. and even if it was scientifically proven it STILL wouldnt be surefire bc like you have said studies are based on a small sample of ppl. so i cant even believe in science 100%. i can only believe in God 100% (altho some can question THAT too). thats why i keep telling myself, go as far as you can, then pray for it! and see what happens! i will be happy with healthy children (and a boy!!) jk! but i will still try to go all the way with the sway! thats why it bothers me personally about some of the conttradtictions but then i just take it witha grain of salt and remind myself nothing is guaranteed...
ps i would never ever ever hold you or anyone responsible for a failed sway. but i can defly see how initial emotions of a failed sway could come out as 'blame.' its a normal part of grieving. nonetheless, not nice!!

I don't worry about people blaming me, but I do know that on some other sites people whose sways failed were blamed for not swaying 100% and then their sways were picked apart and that is NOT going to happen here!!! I didn't like it at all when I got yelled at when my sway failed and I just want you guys to know I will happily take the blame for every failed sway and none of you will ever get blamed even if you eat a million ice cream cones.

i hear ya!

i hear ya. personally, im a perfectionist and NEED or prefer strict guidelines. some ppl work better when given freedom. im just taking into account what i THOUGHT i did with my 2 DDs (one born in june the other in feb) and doing the opposite. thats ALL the info i have on myself. i have no blood tests, minerals count, etc (i didnt sway with both dds for either gender but always wanted/thought they would be boys). i only know what i did and after reading all the stickies and IG and whatever, MOST things makes sense. *i* believe calcium = girls bc i was on calcium SUPPLEMENTS (bc i read its good to do that for bone growth in fetus), so i started earlier than when i TTCd. i believe the timing, shettles etc for ME bc i bd''d EVERY day starting from as SOON as i saw anything remotely thick and stretchy.
after studying my body hard core recently i now know that i BARELY have creamy CM (maybe 1-2 days) and have mostly EW, so why didnt i get a boy? prob bc i we dtd everyday (no chance for sperm to replenish), ate a lot of chicken (didnt i read somewhere that red meat was better for boys), cheese, yogurt, etc.

i guess what it comes down to is we can do everything hardcore sway for boy/girl but you still may get the opposite..bc like atomic has said in her stickies....boys/girls have been born thru out history without supplements, calicum pills, etc...and there are boys and girls born in every month winter or summer, etc. so i/we can just try our best and hope it works.

having said that, i STILL want a BOY!!!!!!!!!

and i love this site. i think atomic and viviene and whoever (sorry!) do a great job with it!! really APPRECIATE IT!

Ok well I am CD 6 and so far we are dtd protected every 2nd day.. is this ok? Closer to O I am going to review when to cut off!!

[begonia]

TTC5 I think that is OK for DTD but I'm no expert ... my plan is similar though so if we're wrong at least we can be wrong together!

[TTC5]

Ah good!

[atomic sagebrush]

yes every two days is perfect.

CD 10 today and we have decided to cut off now... what do you think Atomic?
