Swaying on Clomid - Swaying under special circumstances part 2

[sweetsister]

When i was on Clomid i also didnt do FR i tried to dtd once every day around o time and on so no messing with anything,just trying to get pregnant while on it.and i did on my 3 rd round of Clomid,but i had been on the diet for the whole previous year almost ,and had started out with FR in the early days but dropped it all,so i would recommend diet over any technique or frequency

[atomic sagebrush]

Can you do FR then lots of attemps with Clomid or will that lower sperm count too much - should you just do lots of attempts ? My friends looking into swaying but is undecided on using her clomid but her hubby is 44 so even without using clomid abstinance isnt a route she can go down but they want a baby girl..

Yes, it will likely lower sperm count too much BUT if a couple wanted to try it for the first month on Clomid, that is prob. ok providing that DW has not already done several clomid cycles to TTC previous children.

When I started swaying I dis frequent didn't get preg (on clomid) it's been dropped. So u can start with it but drop it after a cycle or two bc on clomid u want a bfp asap.
Atomic also believes it may only sway a small %

Agree 1000% I would take a sway with JUST Clomid and diet in a heartbeat over frequency. It simply cannot make much difference because men make 50-50 X and Y.

Thank you very much. Congrats on your pink bundle sweetsister - good to see someone on just clomid and diet that got a girl - it means it does happen and will give my friend hope !! - I think she thinks she needs to do everything under the sun still whilst on it to get her girl - she cant let go of all the other stuff she has heard about and isnt quite ready to see that it is actually going to do her more harm than good when the times comes

Hi Atomic!

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right area, but hopefully you will see : )

AF arrived today unfortunately. I have unsuccessfully swayed for 8 cycles and now I start Clomid. I need to make a fair few changes to my sway in order to get preg quickly. Clomid is expensive in New Zealand and I have only 3 cycles maximum on it (NZ restrictions).

I have been on the IG style diet, but added a few more veges in and less meat. Also not drinking too much milk, but eat yoghurt. Recently I have been having some brown rice too - since finding out I have PCOS.

Can I take these supps? Aspirin (every second day), B6 50mg, Calcium, Magnesium?

I have stopped SP, and will no longer use Acigel, Zyrtec, Rephresh.

DH has been taking LR - should I get him to stop?

I will be DTD daily in the fertile phase.

Let me know what you think, and please suggest otherwise!

Much appreciated XX

Hi Maple, I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I hope this wasn't too pressing timewise.

In terms of diet, since you've been TTC and dieting so long, you may want to add in 8-15 mg zinc 3 times a week and an iron 18 mg every other day. Are you taking 1200-1600 mg folic acid? (unless you are saying you were eating meat during that time??)

You can take aspirin, B6, cal and mag while on Clomid. Now I personally don't believe that B6, cal, and mag sway pink, but they are ok to take.

with dropping SP, antihistamine, and jellies.

Yes, have DH stop LR. It will still be in his system and swaying for you for a month or two afterwards, maybe even 3. Sperm take 72 days or so to form so every sperm he makes for the next 72 days were exposed to at least a bit of LR.

Go ahead and DTD daily this first month but if you don't get pg, you'll need to switch to SMEP Sperm Meets Egg Plan

Well, it's not magic, it takes time to affect you. You may just be better able to handle it then others are. I'd go ahead and attempt for sure. There are probably changes that you just can't see with the naked eye. If you want to do RepHResh, that's your call to make of course. The first month or two (most people take Clomid for 6 months, not three, so if you only get it for 3 months, disregard these directions, they're only for people who can take a 6 month course) you have a bit of leeway to try something like RepHresh or jump and dump.

Thanks atomic "well its not magic" - really really made me laugh sounded just like something one of boys would say. Think i'm cracking up but it had me in hysterics i could hear his voice saying that.

Shame though, magic pill would be good.

To any girls who've taken clomid.... last night i had really bad pains mid section region bad enough i had to take paracetamol i felt really rough. They've gone today, does this normally happen (was worried it was the start of hyper stimulation as was really painful) and if so is it a signal of ov or does ov come much later? I've no idea when i'll o but am hoping its sooner rather than later
