Which sways harder? Fat or Protein?
Do you guys think it is better to ever go over a little on pro or fat when on LE? I am almost thinking the pro.... Thoughts?

I may have been confusing how I put it. I guess I mean, if you cheat, is it better to cheat more on the pro side than fat? Seems like the fat is more of a testosterone food... idk

I would actually say it would be better to cheat on fat, not protein. The boy swayers are eating a lot of protein.
Me: 35 years old. Was an infant nanny and birth and postpartum doula. Now a full time SAHM.
DS1: Aug 2003 (my first home birthed water baby!)
DS2: May 2009 (my second home birthed water baby!)
Oct 2014
July 2016: Laproscopic surgery to remove a ping pong ball sized endometrioma on left ovary and 3 pea size fibroids on outside of uterus. Hysteroscopy to remove one larger "penetrating fibroid" inside uterus.
Oct 2016: Heartbroken after DH's vasectomy. Looks like my dreams of a daughter are gone.

I believe fat sways the most, particularly saturated fat, and protein is a better cheat.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

We don't know and it may very well be different for everyone anyway. We are all coming into this in different places on the physical condition continuum and so I cannot give a blanket recommendation on that.

hmmm, I have always had a lot higher fat in my diet than protein, and I have two boys, so maybe for me it's fat- bummer. I like my fat, and it is harder to cut down than protein!

You need SOME sat fat. Just reduce how much you consume, and when possible, it's better to get it from plant sources (coconut, palm) than red meat/fullfat dairy. Better yet, dnt just reduce sat fat, eat more polyunsaturated fats. While I believe monounsaturated fats sway boy too, they sway less than sat fat IMO. So an ideal sway will have low fat overall (max 30% of your cals), with most fat consumed being poly, less being mono, and the least being sat.

Most frozen vegetarian food I find is high in the bad fats (vegetable oils, sunflower oil, etc) and low in healthy oils. I like organic brands - Evol, Amy's, Cedar Lane, etc. I also cook now with vegetable oil instead of my usual coconut oil, butter, or ghee. Example meal - fried rice (fried in a tiny amount of vegetable oil) with red peppers and pineapples. I add chicken after I serve myself for my DH and DS. I'm not great in the kitchen so my meals are either frozen or very basic!

Due 7/13/2015 ! Swayed pink and I am blessed to be with and (TWINS!)!
