Junie! You're so lovely. I will happily take your blue dust. I have the most adorable little peach of a daughter so I can highly recommend my pink dust. Here you go -

(Too much? You didn't want twin girls? Bad luck you asked for it!!)

Junie, can I ask you a question? Atomic has told me not to compare myself with other people when it comes to diet, but I am just so curious to know what you ate to get your two boys. You think you ate more than 2000 cals per day? I can't ask anyone I know this question because no one knows I'm swaying... Please tell me to disappear if this is too personal.

tm29 - first off, I LOVE your picture. It completely made my day. I absolutely love squirrels; they're so cute and funny. I've got my fingers crossed for you and blue dust. Maybe even just the small adjustment in your diet since having DD will even sway blue. And it sounds like if you're getting a lot of attempts in around O that would be great too! I actually really like fruit juices instead of trying to buy actual fruits. I know it's a little late, but maybe even for next cycle (although, I hope there isn't a next cycle and this is a blue bean!). Good luck!

I woke up this morning with a steady temp (actually, exact same temp as yesterday. Weird.) Went to the bathroom and noticed a little spot of blood in my underwear. I also noticed some in toilet, so kind of bummed. However, I don't have any AF symptoms at all: no sore bb, my back isn't really sore, no cramps (just small "twinges" on my right side really. Kind of what I've felt for a few days now). I feel actually really good. Could be implementation? I put a pad in (haven't done that since middle school!) to get a more accurate idea as the day goes along. If it continues throughout day I'll call it AF. If it stops I'll call it....??

TaytumJ - thank you! Really good luck to you, and I HOPE AND HOPE this is your month.

I'll certainly drink juices and eat more fruit if we try next cycle.

TM29 and TaytumJ- please take all of my blue dust! I have two rambunctious, snugly with mama boys! I sure hope and [emoji120]you get one! I'll be glad to share with you how I ate/exercised/BDed to get my two boys. I led the classic boy lifestyle unknowingly.

I'm 3DPO, we will see. I've been dealing with a very sick DS2 (he's 20months). I'm happy where I am at diet and exercise wise so I am in good shape for next cycle.

tm29- I'll gladly share! I am naturally pretty thin and before my twenties could really eat whatever I wanted (now not so much LOL). While TTC for the boys I was eating whatever I was hungry for (lots of pasta, chips, salads, meats, cake,etc) and working out a few times a week doing mainly weight/strength training. I would say that with alcohol I probably often ate well over 2,000 calories easy. I also have some light PCOS tendencies which I think also sways boy.

[tm29]

Oh Junie - if I ate that much I would be very overweight. Sounds like a PERFECT A+ blue sway! Also sounds really fun. AND IT GOT YOU TWO BOYS!!! I raise my alcohol-free glass to you.

Oh gosh. I hope I won't regret ttc this month. My sway would certainly have been better if I'd tried next cycle.

I'm trying to focus on what Atomic said about swaying being individual.

XXforhubby, thank you! Is it pretty much the same story?

[tm29]

XXfor hubby - I just absorbd what you said about your son. I really hope he's ok.

When I got my boys I ate in this pattern: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack before bed. Breakfast one of the following: oatmeal with blueberries, Kashi cereals, Multigrain Cheerios or bagel with cream cheese. Snacks one of the following: grapes, apples, granola bars, or Luna protein bar (chocolate chip cookie dough mmmm). Lunch one of the following: Greek salad with chicken (LOVE feta cheese!) with cherry tomatoes, black olives. Turkey sandwich with Colby cheese. Leftovers from the night before. I always had an apple and baby carrots too with lunch. Dinner one of the following: pasta with tomato sauce broccoli and chicken. Lasagna, chicken tacos with rice, Grilled meats, pot roast, etc. always included a vegetable and a starch (broccoli and green beans usually and potato of some sort or side of rice/pasta/noodles.) fav snack before bedtime was a small bowl of oatmeal with dark chocolate chips and a 1/2tsp of vanilla extract. I also had a square of 90% Dark chocolate once a day and had either 2 cups of coffee or green tea with honey in the mornings. Ate between 1800-2000 calories a day, but I needed to due to my exercise routine. If I didn't exercise or took a day off, I ate between 1400-1600 calories a day. I was 125 at 5ft 4in and was very muscular/well toned.

Supplements: prenatal vitamin with DHA, calcium plus vitamin d, and acidophilus everyday.

Exercise: weight training for 30min followed by 30-45min of cardio 4-5 times a week. Took daily walks with DH after dinner. Also did Yoga 2-4 a week.

BD pattern: every other day before fertile CM, then every day until fertile CM dried up.

All this= 2 lovely boys!!

XX- I also just reread the part about your son. I hope he starts getting better very soon!

TM- our first son was a honeymoon baby conceived while on vacation for 2 weeks in Mexico so I was definitely eating and drinking more than normal 2nd was conceived in the month of Dec when there are Christmas markets here with delicious food and mulled wine, and lots of get togethers with friends at restaurants so again more than normal amount of food and drink. But there are quite a few different types of boy moms so I wouldn't worry at all!!!
