I would say it depends on the diet and supps you're doing ... this might actually be a good Q to put out there for Atomic to see. I know that was the deal on IG, but the IG diet and supp schedule is pretty extreme. If you take the TW approach and are focusing on high nutrients, not excluding ca/mg, and not overdoing it on sodium/potassium, I think you're fine to stay on the "diet." Because really all you're doing with TW is trying to focus on eating a healthy, well-rounded diet. It may not be what you prefer naturally (oh how I miss sugar!!!) but it isn't in any way unhealthy.

But if you're cutting ca/mg and taking BSD and things like that, then I would think you'd need to take time off the diet after 6 months for sure.

When we TTC I am going to cut back on Ca and Mg but not totally exclude them. Will be primarily focusing on the TW theory. Ohh I love sugar too so I won't be cutting back on that for a while yet

I love you, MFC, please don't feel that way. You fit right in!! I shoved in and found such a nice and cozy little spot. I'm so glad we are all here.

Thankyou Love

There's no need to take a break from the diet or many of the sups. Definitely be careful with the drinks or anything that can mess with your stomach or overall health. Personally I won't take anything that would hurt you long term, but I learned that the hard way.
And about three girls, I learned about swaying after the gd of my third girl. I was unintentionally swaying perfectly for a girl. If you do a good sway you just sort of have to accept you did your best. This is my second bfp while swaying and I've had the same peace both times.

I won't be doing any of the drinks until about 3 months before our attempt, so not for a little while yet. I think if I stick to the RDI of vitamins and minerals then I will be right.

That's great that you have had peace with both your sways. It must be a good feeling!

So a BFN for me this month again
I think i am done with all this swaying and trying to conceive. It has never taken me this long with any of my other pregnancies and it has really become all consuming. It is all I think about. what food can I eat, when am I ovulating, when did he release last, etc. I think for me I am done swaying and will let whatever happen happen.

Hope everyone else is doing okay.

Iluv. hope u get all your answers soon!

So so sorry to read this ((Hugs)) it's not over until AF shows her ugly face! don't give up hope yet it could just be to early.
Hang in there hun, xx.

I know if we never try...but after only girls you know...I also never thought I will have so many kids and for sure I was done after 3. yeah right...so I just don't know. But for sure there is always something goin on here , mostly fighting lol

Funny same over here with my three, LOL.

MFC, we are glad to have anyone here, but love you gals that have had successful sways for sure! And even non-sway boys, too. Bring em on!

Thank you so much You ladies are so wonderful.

Iluv, that is good news then....I bet he thinks your FSH is normal for having had a baby recently. I have been doing lots of reading about it the past couple of days (inlcuding this AWESOME book "Inconceivable" by Julia Indichova that all us long-timers should read....anyone, really, it was fantastic)...and it appears that all sorts of things can influence your FSH levels, as the woman in this book's go up and down each month. So, I am not really stressing about it either, and if you doctor did not make it a point to say anything about it, then you are probably just fine. And adding some iron is really easy to do, especially with food. My sister is aememic and eats a ton of spinach and apricots and the like to keep hers level.

I talked with my doctor yesterday also, my kick ass gyno (who doesn't do OB, so she didn't know I had the m/c as I had to go to the midwives at another practice once I got pg).....she is going to have me do a blood FSH for real test this next cycle, but she seems to think that we have just had crap luck and my eggs aren't necessarily bad. I told her we were loading up on antioxidants and I started up with yoga again and all, and she said that is perfect...the healthier your body, the healthier your eggs. But, we are still a go for ttc in August and she MAY start me on Clomid that month, just depends on the FSH numbers and her eval when I go see her in a few weeks.

So, I am now a proponent of being super healthy.....DH quit smoking last week and is doing great with it, and we are both on a big health kick for the next few months, just to see how it affects us (which will no doubt be positively, but if it yeilds a healthy pregnancy). I'm having an "amazing grass" smoothie everyday (wheat, barley, and alfalfa grasses) and loads of antioxidants, and have started with the DHEA again. I'll have a good 80 days in before ttc, and just gonna see what happens.

Good luck, chicas.....I'm so very happy for 3PNB and Chunksta, and hoping to add some preggies to the list to congrats soon!

Glad to hear the good news about your hubby not smoking, Good job! I love your plan, hoping you get a healthy BFP in August. Good luck with everything.

TTC5 that is CRAZY! I hope it is a good sign! Did you ever feel anything like that with any of your other pregnancies? Oooo and so fun that Cheeky felt that when she was pg! FX for this being a good sign :-)

Iluv I'm glad your doc wants to at least re-run the test. At least that means he thought about it enough to decide he wanted more info! So since you just had AF are y'all going to be trying again soon? Or are you waiting to figure out what is going on?

Flava I LOL about the mostly fighting ... my girls are at it this am, which is funny b/c they normally get along super well. I think it is time to get them out of the house. We're going for donuts b/c in case everyone didn't know ... it's National Donut Day! Whooo hooo! Do you think they make a donut made out of potato with a nice tomato sauce instead of frosting? Mmmm. The boy sway special ;-)

Nope, never!! It was VERY distinct as my body would kind of "jerk/twitch" every time it "jabbed" at me lol...

Tink, have you been taking opks? I have Oed earlier on these supps. You never know what your body will do. And bridal makeup IS fun with good people....with crazy bridezillas and bitchy BMs it is a nightmare. I used to be an account exec for Stila when I graduated from college before I landed my arts admin career. It was a blast, and I got trained by their NYC artists so I still do makeup on location for magazines and brides, for the right price, of course! What line do you work for?

Jen, it will kick in....I completely know how you feel, though. If I ever get pg again, I will be a NERVOUS wreck and convince myself that I am not actually pg until I see a heartbeat, and well, maybe till I see a live baby in front of me. Man, I just hate that so many of us here have had to deal with m/cs and deaths of babies, it is just heartwrenching. BUT I am a positive day so I am putting my faith in hopes that we all have a sweet healthy baby someday. There is nothing right now that says that this isn't and can't be your dc#4, so keep your spirits up. (You'll have to tell me that too one day.) And don't you hate the coffee aversion? I had that this last time, it made me SO bummed, because that's like my morning ritual thing. Oh well, on to healthy preggo smoothies for you, girl!

What a great attitude Lola! Love it.

Jen, At the beginning of my boy pregnancy I was always hungry, I was eating all the time.
