Does vitamin D shortage sway girl/boy?

[BabyGirl4Me]

Really now that I think about it, my walking (and I also had a heavy backpack) was low intensity exercise too so that would be 3 of 4 boys I was doing mod. exercise with weights involved...I thought it was just with 2 but the walking def. counts as mod. exercise with weights!

Funny how we do these inadvertent blue sways without even really realize.

So true Atomic. Here's hoping that now that I'm intentionally swaying pink that things will continue to line up for a sticky pink bean for me this spring!

i didnt realise that vit d sways blue! ive been taking it for 3 months because i had a deficiency but now i am going to stop - im going to attempt a sway in about 10 days, i hope it will go out of my system by then! thoughts Atomic?

The rules are different for people who legitimately have deficiencies in nutrients - you NEED the nutrients for your health. I would switch to 2x a week and have blood redrawn at your convenience to see if the deficiency is still there, and if not then you can just drop it. Unlike other nutrients, Vit. D is stored in your body fat and so it's ok to just drop without weaning.

See thats my question. Im vit d deficient. And I took 5000 of it beforw getting pregnant with my last son. I figured its the vitamin d but if I dont take it at all no pregnancy! ! Catch 22

Yes, and since you need it for your health, you should continue. You may want to reduce the number of days per week that you take it.

Unlike some nutrients Vit. D is stored in your body, so most people are able to take it for a bit to make up any deficiency and then reduce or stop dose. Are you able to have your levels checked? You may not even be deficient (or at least not as much as they were.)

I doubt this one is a strong swayer. 3 boys, conceived in the dark of winter when we get like 2 hours of semi-light. All alaskans are recommended to take vitamin D year round because it's pretty impossible to not be deficient otherwise, I never took it at all until after DS3.

[atomic sagebrush]

I actually do think Vit. D is a strong blue sway but that is in people with normal Vit D who then take more. Anyone with a deficiency in ANY nutrient needs to take what is necessary for their health and well being.

Ugg don't know what to do. Got my only girl living in sunny California being outside walking all day vs all my boys born up north, driving so even if there was a lot to soak up I wasn't. Just confirmed low vit d from doc and had tested a couple years ago and was low too. Trying to decide if now is time for supp. Uggg swaying girl

[atomic sagebrush]

you can do the compromise and take 2x a week instead.

I had very low vitamin d while swaying.. I was taking the lowest I could for the sway and ended up conceiving another boy! When I wasn't taking enough I wasn't even able to fall pregnant. So no matter what it sways, getting enough vitamin d is so important. For you and baby!
