Can I use this when ttc a boy?

No. It has a lot of ingredients in it that are harmful and some may sway pink.

Is this Fish oil and coconut oil supplement good for blue?
And can we use both together?

Too much fish oil, I prefer 500 mg

There's no need to take coconut oil. You can use it to cook with but you don't need to take it as a supplement.

Recently updated the "blue sways by the numbers" thread:

I thought it might be helpful to everyone to see the breakdown of our success rates by year.

2011-2012 40 22 - 62% success rate.

I have a further breakdown for 41 of these where I broke them down by IG/FGD vs. HE because HE was new then and we wanted to see if there was any difference - this thread is in the Dream Members section for anyone who wants to verify this.

41 total sways
15 opposites, 4 of which were HE, 11 of which were IG/FGD
26 success, 10 of which were IG, 16 of which were HE

2013 29 7 - 80% success rate

2014 20 8 - 71% success rate

2015 21 15 58% success rate

2016 11 8 58% success rate.

2017 27 11 71 % success rate.

2018 so far 25 11 69% success rate

2019 1 100% LOL (this will change over time of course)

Total success rates of the site (updated 4-30-19):

256 total sways, 174 boys, 82 girls, success rate 68%

please note - this is of 4/30/19) I'm not going to keep these up to date daily as sways come in, this is just a snapshot of a moment in time. But I am trying to keep them updated over time so check back often.

I have question regarding omega 3 and omega 6.

How important are they in boy sway compare to blood glucose levels?

I ovulated on April 27 and in 2ww right now.

I just noticed on my omega 3 fish oil supplement ( 1000mg) that the recommended serving in the bottle was 2 capsule and I missed that part and was taking 1 capsule every other day instead of 2.

Also I smacked a lot day and night on pumpkin seeds ( in my oatmeal , with my mango snack, 1 time in my smoothie with beef collagen powder)

I did eat red meat or chicken ( mostly red meat) twice a day every day.

And from first meal till bed time ate every 2-3 hours.

Ate avocado, banana, spinach in a smoothie, kiwi, coconut water, tomatoes, oatmeal ( water, raisins, pumpkin seeds or walnuts or almonds or pine nuts), dates, orange juice, pineapple juice, grapefruit juice almost every single day.

Now thinking about omega 3 is just making me very very nervous.

Please let me know what is more important - steady blood glucose levels by eating healthy every 2 -3 hours low omega 3 by not eating fish oil will fail the sway

We honestly do not know. They have only just barely begun to study this stuff and I cannot tell you how much any one thing sways in comparison to another thing.

What I do know is that I have seen several opposites in people who were eating regularly (keeping blood sugar up) but were doing the milk replacers (loaded with Omega 6) and were not getting many animal fats.

My gut instinct is that it is probably fine, but if you wanted to wait a month that may be a good idea too. I just don't know and when I don't know, I have to put the decision back onto you guys.

Thanks for the reply.

Just keeping my hopes high.

I will get to know on May 10 if it's BFN or BFP.

I normally eat a lot of red meat (goat, lamb, and beef) and was eating it since last few months almost 3-4 times a week when I was not even swaying.

I was a huge ice cream eater too and have always used butter a lot as well, and eat eggs every weekend for breakfast.

Didn't eat ice cream since mid of March as was trying to maintain weight as well since I was already overweight.

I started HE diet mid of March where I did eat cereal with whole milk almost every day and finished 4 boxes of Raisin bran cereal but the last two weeks before ovulation I didn't eat any dairy as I was out of cereal and cannot drink milk by itself but didn't do any milk replacers.

So I am assuming since it was not like I never had high-fat dairy. My body should have fat from eating ice cream, cheese, milk almost every day and 4-5 weeks of not having those things shouldn't make a huge difference I hope.

I did have a lot of lambs, goat meat, ground beef, avocados, mangoes, banana, kiwi, oatmeal, tomatoes the week leading to ovulation.

I ovulated on April 27th and my diet leading to ovulation was as below.

April 20th- I had lamb stew with bread for lunch and Haleem ( mixed daal and lentils with beef) and 2 Shami Kabab ( lentil and beef)

What do you think of it?

[atomic sagebrush]

I think your diet looks beautiful, and with all that animal fat in your diet I am sure are on target for a great blue sway!

[asmi]

Does eating habit is the first few weeks of pregnancy matter in terms of gender?

or it doesn't matter what you are eating after ovulation?
