Alcohol
I remember alcohol being a no-no when swaying for a girl. I also remember, however, some women stating that hard liquor like vodka can make you acidic (and some say they conceived their DD's on a night of drinking vodka although who knows?).
I'm not talking about drinking when TTC'ing, I'm talking about drinking in terms of the girl diet BEFORE even starting to TTC, like the 6 weeks prior.
If you were out for a night, would you drink vodka or another "hard liquor" instead of wine as wine is supposed to be healthy for you in terms of antioxidants and such?baby girl 23 wks.

Alcohol in excess lowers testosterone, makes nutrients leave the body, and sways pink. But, alcohol in moderation is kind of good for you when it comes in the form of beer and wine (they have B vitamins and phytonutrients). Hard liquor doesn't really have good nutrients in it the way beer and wine does, so that's why people say to drink vodka - you get the badness of alcohol without the goodness of beer/wine.
Some people are very down on drinking and so will not include it in swaying but I think it can help BOTH blue and pink swayers.
Pink - drink hard alcohol to taste
Blue - drink beer and wine only and no more than one-two drinks a day.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Yes! Even more so, because alcohol lowers sperm count as well.
That having been said, my hubby loves his beer with the last two boys and as you can see it was no magic bullet for us!!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Ugh, I'm supposed to give up coffee and wine?? I'm starting to be convinced about swaying just because of how completely different girl swaying is from my normal life LOL.

well when we were swaying I had some vodka with some low sugar cranberry juice..kinda tasted like medicine, haha, and I NEVER usually drink hard liquor (i like a small glass of white wine at night sometimes). But for about 4 weeks or so I actually had a small glass of this a night and had my Dh have a small glass around O time (he never drinks). I definitely felt it, and it helped me to relax and de-stress (which also sways girl).

I have never once drank anytime near when I was TTC and lately I have been drinking beer now and then, and I find it really does relax me a lot. I think this might help those of us who are stress-ers. GL Queen.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
