Pink Sway Questions

[annalucy]

Hi All,

I'm new here and I'm hoping my three boys will gain a sister with your help! I have a specific questions about swaying. First, regarding exercise, I'm seeing that 60 minutes 6 days a week is important. Is there a heart rate goal that should be involved? Or is walking enough?!

I'm still breastfeeding my 18 month old, so my cycles are a bit off sometimes. I got pregnant with my two younger boys while nursing, so I know it's possible, but with those kids, we didn't use "girl" timing. Hoping to time things just right. Would you start out with four days before you think you'll ovulate?

Which brand of OPKs do you love most and why?

Hi and welcome. I have been told that fast walking/power walk is absolutely fine for pink. I also heard that you should do cardio at least 4 days a week and not under 60 min. Most of us do 5-6 times a week.

Re OPK I have been told that the cheepies like Wondfo should work good. I use this brand bought on Amazon

Hi and welcome Anna!

Don't worry about your heart rate or calories burned or anything, the 60 min 6-7 times a week is what counts.

Breastfeeding may sway a bit pink even tho it hasn't worked previously - if you start off 70% likely to have a boy and end up 60% likely to have one, that's a huge sway but stil a lot of boys conceived.

Timing has been debunked and most of us on here have 2-3-4 or more timing opposites http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html If you want to use it, that is of course totally up to you, though. I would NOT start 4 days before O, the odds of conception are practically nil and most of the people who think they conceived with that timing ovulated early. 3 days is the longest cutoff I ever recommend.

Sorry to come onto this thread but does the 60 minutes cardio have to be in a row or say 2 x 30 mins also okay?

It has to be 60 minutes uninterrupted I believe.

Cardio MUST be 60 minutes, minimum, uninterrupted. Breaking it into smaller chunks can sway blue instead!

No not at all, I like keeping the threads chock full of info instead of spreading them out into lots of littler, less informative threads. (as long as on same topic of course)

Breaking up exercise doesn't work because after 45 min. your body will stop burning carbs and start burning stores of fat as fuel. Something about this process seems to sway pink and thus we find 60 min all at once to be better than 30 min twice because you'd never really get into that zone and it could even build muscle to do it that way.

You CAN always add more exercise if you need to, onto the 60 min. so like if you have your 60 min. in the morning and then are worried about a 15 min. walk later in the day, don't be. You can add more onto 60, it's just that there needs to be at least one 60 min. block in the day.
