It's nice to see many people ttc blue as well. Yay! I originally planned to ttc this month, but many things have happened again. Sighh, we have to push our ttc plan to next year (maybe around April or May). But I want to keep myself updated on all the sway tactics.
I plan to use Preseed since I don't normally have much ewcm. Also, take some robittusin as well. We probably will just bd unprotected after my period and put in 3 attempts when i get positive opk. I might need to use opk to test 2 cycles ahead to see how many days it takes for me to O after getting positive. I dont want DH to run out of steam before I actually O.
I have tried bsf before. It doesn't seem to work for me. (tmi) It just produced a lot of creamy thick mucus for me (not sure if I used too much), and it would not be good for the boy sperms.
As for diet, my usual plan is
Morning: oatmeal, or boiled eggs or omelettes
Snack: banana
Lunch: Meat with rice, fries
Snack: dark chocolate with almond, salty chips
Dinner: Meat with rice or pasta
And drink lots of lemon water throughout the day
Thanks for your advice! :-) your plan sounds good and blue friendly! Blue dust to you!

Today I am heartbroken. We have planned to ttc this month. Unfortunately, the plans have changed and it makes me so sad. I thought I was completely ready for it and I was so excited but then DH came unexpectedly with the news about we better can wait to ttc for a while. I am so disappointment right now.
Oh I am sorry you've had to delay your ttc. Maybe you could do both? On the plus side I assume being longer on the diet sways more towards your goal of blue?

Well that’s what I thought...we can do both but his thoughts are different. On the other side I have more time to follow the diet. So ya..I have to learn to accept the situation and just move on :-|

Hi I am also swaying blue, will ttc nov or dec. We are blessed with 2 children, 1 girl (11) 1 boy (7). I successfully swayed for our son via Shettles method and hoping to do it again this time around but things have changed quite a bit since my last sway, there’s so much more controversy in it and diets are all so varied. Having read through several sway guidelines I have decided to come join you ladies at gender dreaming as it’s closest to what I did before with a few slight variations.
Baby blue dust to us all

Thats 100% true. In the beginning I got confused about the different ways of swaying. I was reading threads on IG and over here. It was so confusing. I decided to follow the HE diet because it fits better with my lifestyle. As you can read we had plans to ttc in October. unfortunately the plans are changed now and we will ttc later. Not sure when. Hopefully December of this year.
Can I ask about the Shettles method. Like I know the shettles method adviced to bd once at the O time. What did u follow of the shettles method while u swayed for your son? I will follow the advice of atomic and will bd at least 3 times after having positive opk.

Yes we only BD once at O with my Shettles sway. It does make me nervous to try the 3 times around O as atomic advices but it makes sense. I’m 34 now so I’m thinking given my age my fertility may be reduced so those extra chances may be Necessary. I don’t feel that I produce enough EWCM either compared to my younger years. I won’t be BD EOD tho, only around O. I need to go out and get some clear blue smileys as my cheapie OPKs haven’t been very clear at indicating O and my temps haven’t been very clear either, possibly a non reliable thermometer . Last time my temps were perfect indication and cheapie sticks did the job but not proving so easy this time around!
Hope you manage to start trying in December and don’t put on too much weight ongbe HE diet until then hehe... I’m feeling the extra calories x

Hiya, I'm a bit confused with the opks. I have 2 dd's and hoping to sway blue, potentially in Nov or Dec. I'd never heard of swaying until 2 weeks ago! I have bought some cheapie opks and line was almost as dark as control line yday. But I'm wondering if I should invest in the clearblue smiley opk for when we actually ttc? Not sure if they're worth the dosh?

We are also attempting a baby boy sway for early November! I have a wonderful 4 year old daughter but would like to complete our family with a beautiful baby boy. We only want 2 children so whatever we get will be our last. I'm completely okay with getting another daughter as I know sisters can be closer in general but would like to make at least an effort to sway for a boy! My husband is extremely supportive and has made a tremendous effort to change his lifestyle to raise his testosterone. Good luck to all!
So happy for you Treens, congratulations Sent from my SM-A225F using Tapatalk
Healthy baby girl :)
