Where are you at in your sway??

[Bobster]

Hi this seems like a nice thread. I've been reading about swaying for about a month and have been trying to alter my diet to include less high potassium foods and more simple carbs and trying to maintain low blood sugar during the day.

I'm finding it hardest on an evening not to binge on high fat chocolate after tea. Is anyone else struggling with this? I'm also not yet losing any weight so may start an exercise routine up. We plan to Ttc in April however I won't ovulate until early May so have a little more time. Has anyone found they have less ewcm while on this diet? I'm not sure if it's just coincidence as this is my first ovulation.

Yep the LE diet definitely reduces EWCM. It's part of how it sways, I think.

Oh good I'm obviously doing something right then. Just need to start losing weight and exercising more.

Do you know why vegetarians are more likely to sway pink? One of my friends has been vegetarian from birth and she has 2 girls but she eats loads of fatty foods, cheese, bread and potatoes therefore must have a lot of potassium in her diet. Is it to do with a lack of protein? Also how long does it take for the polarity of the egg to change if you went vegetarian?

How is everyone doing? I am currently 2DPO so excited to test!!

Bobster, potassium doesn't sway. That's an outdated, erroneous swaying technique. There is no change in egg polarity - another made up idea with no evidence backing it. Your friend's husband could have low sperm count, they could rarely have sex, maybe she has very little CM, or any number of hidden factors and yes low protein and being veggie sways. But you can't look just at how someone eats to explain why she conceived a certain gender, and what worked for her won't necessarily work for you. Bread and potatoes are great for pink. Cheesein moderation is fine. High fat however sways blue.
