♥ Swaying Status: BFP 11th September at 10dpo - praying AF stays away!
♥ TTC DC # 4. We have 3 boys aged 21 months, 4 and 5.
♥ Your approach to pink sway: I'm hitting the low-everything diet hard and hoping to lose 3 stone in 3 months, DH will release twice each day leading up to O and we'll have a one off attempt around O. Rephresh every 3 days after AF, Acijel a few hours before attempt, possibly Sylk and a JAD. Vitex, Saw P, baby aspirin, antihistimine and folic acid for me. Licorice root and cranberry for DH.

♥ Swaying now!!!!
♥ Ttc dc #3
♥ I'm doing the low everything diet with frequent release then bding very day through ov. I'm doing rephresh every 3 days and taking folic acid, vitex, saw palmetto and aspirin. Dh is taking liquorice root. I'm also updating my original attempt. No rephresh, no vitex or sp. Adjusting le first to maintain current weight!

♥ TTC DC #1
♥ Your approach to pink sway- I'm doing a semi-LE diet (already lost 30 pounds over the past 6 months, so only have a few to drop). Planning frequent BD (once AF leaves the station) with a 2-3 day cutoff. Rephresh (1/2 app) every 3 days through O. Antihistamine for 4-5 days up through O and taking daily Folic Acid and acidophilus (sp). DH was willing to give up beer and coffee while we TTC and he basically eats the LE diet as well with me. Hot showers before BD, fan on in bedroom, and will TRY not to O while BDing (sometimes hard to avoid that). Just updating my original plan- dropping Rephresh unless PH shoots up (I tend to stay pretty low) and hoping to BD through O rather than a cut-off. LE diet adjusted just to maintain weight rather than keep losing.

*do the LE diet hardcore never more then 950 calories, I was awesome until after I o'd..I have had a few bad days, never ate breakfast but lots of sweets after lunch...getting back on diet tomorrow hardcore, I am 5 dpo today. I did 14 day abstain 2 day cutoff, then had dh release twice a day until a O+12 attempt. I douche'd and used rephresh every 3 days, hot baths for dh, aci-jel before and after only O+12 attempt. Vitex, Saw Palmetto, baby aspirin, folic acid....taking b6 in tww for progesterone.

♥ TTC #4 (I have 5 year old identical boy twins and a 2 year old boy)
♥ Low Everything diet (4 months and counting now, and 20 lbs lost), frequent release, BD through O, Saw Palmetto, Vitex, Baby Aspirin, Benedryl/Zrytec + lots of aspartame around O. We just finished our 3rd month TTC, and are due to O around September 10th. I'm really hoping this is our month - we've now dropped both Sylk and Rephresh from our sway. My psychic reading called for a pink BFP in September - here's hoping she's right!!!

♥ Swaying Status: Swayer in Waiting, Swaying NOW!, BFP Swayer! umm I am not sure lol af is due around aug 17th and will start swaying then
♥ TTC DC # 5
♥ Your approach to pink sway: still researching, I plan to sway twins and for a girl lol but even if I just get twins with no girl would be still awesome, I am doing soy iso days 2-6, then doing vitex on cd7 to O, doing 2000mcg folic acid, azo cranberry says I can take max 4 pills(2 in morning 2 at night) zyrtec and possible benedryl to dry up cm, thinking about b6 to help lengthen lp and raise progesterone levels, I know I take a buttload of pills will have to double check all what I am taking lol, I am also going to *try* to do the girl diet, and cut my calories drastically and no excercising, and did 0+20(was very past O actually surprised I conceive) but ended in m/c so wondering if maybe egg was to old? to survive so will not be doing that, will do cutoff maybe cd12? since O around cd15, and no big O for me lol but like I said still researching and planning

♥ User Name - Out of the Blue
♥ Swaying Status - Surprise BFP while taking a break from the diet/TTC – Due 3-30-2012 We will be waiting until birth to find out the gender…
♥ TTC DC # - #3 (probably our caboose) We have two boys ages 3ish and 1ish...complete opposites but they love playing w/eachother!
♥ What I was planning on doing before I got my surprise BFP…

I really think low blood sugar and low testosterone are key!
Low Everything diet (vegetarian or vegan) until a BFP
No prenatals
No calcium sups
Chitosan and/or lots of fiber sups
Lots of Peppermint Tea (iced, hot whatever!)
Vitex
Zyrtec if needed
Frequent release w/BD AF – O
RepHresh
Sylk
Missionary w/no O…boring!

FWIW stuff:
Still BF #2 (so no aspirin for me)
Quit watching sports or anything else on T.V. which would appear to raise my T levels and tried to watch “girly” shows (definitely not my norm but thought it couldn’t hurt)
Quit playing T raising games on my Ipad
Thought lots and lots of girl/pink thoughts
Wore a pink bracelet to remind me of my girl
Quit working out as I could not do enough cardio to sway pink
Quit yoga & abstained from building any muscles
Lost 25 lbs last summer and a few more before TTC…Was 2lbs away from my lowest weight as an adult and 25+ lbs lighter than when I conceived both our boys
rock salt lamp next to our bed
pink bow on my closet mirror

I took non-fish DHA and Raspberry Leaf Tea which may sway blue but I thought the benefits outweighed the sway. I also was diligent about taking folic acid and I frequently took acidophilus. Unfortunately I had quit the diet for 1-2 wks and then started it up again a few days before I O'd. When we BD, we used a bit of Sylk but no RepHresh b/c I was lazy and I had no idea I could get preg by DTD a week or more before O. Surprise!!!

♥ Your approach to pink sway:I am trying to work out the diet taking cal/mag etc.. tons of crystal light. plan on using sylk while BD, using lavender anything I can find, rock salt lamp, fountain, candles, ion bracelet, basically anything negative ion generating I can find My DH is onboard with taking the supps too (tired of hearing me say how much I want a he'll do anything at this point I think LOL) Plan on using O + 12, I am also entertaining any wives tales I can find

♥ TTC DC # 3. I have two boys.
♥ Your approach to pink sway: I converted to the LE concept after the first month of IG style swaying. I am BFing a 2 year old super nurser and have had LP issues. I am now taking Vitex and cranberry (I know baby aspirin would be better but i'm still BFing). I am using Rephresh and/or Replens depending on my mood to keep PH below 5. This month I BDed right through O for the first time after trying cut offs the last two months.

Currently temping, using OPKs... next cycle I might start using my CBFM but I'll be starting vitex then too and my last 2 cycles have been very long (OV on CD28 and then CD31 in 1st then 2nd respectively) so maybe I ought to wait with the CBFM as the sticks are so expensive!

♥ Swaying Status: Swayer in Waiting - planning to TTC in October so have started my 6 week lead up
♥ TTC DC # 3 - DS1 - Jan 08, DS2 - March 10
♥ Your approach to pink sway: Lose weight by reducing portions and cutting snacks and missing breakfast. Take SP and Vitex. Use Rephresh before attempt and sylk as a lube. DH will to frequent release and will DTD with about 2 day cutoff but if that gets too stressful will wait for a smile before DTD. Will take antihistimines around our attempt.

So now I'm wondering if maybe I haven't ovulated yet at all as my cervix is still high and soft! My digi OPK was negative but when I took the cartridge out the line was still very dark. Maybe I had an LH surge but not enough oestrogen to ovulate. I think we'll leave it for now either way and just go with a cut-off of a few days if indeed it hasn't happened yet. I guess that's the benefit of attempting on O day, if you're mistaken and you O late at least you're still in whereas if you aim for a cut-off and you O late you're screwed!

I'll just relax and make the most of a few less pills to take each day for a couple of weeks!

Hi girls! I haven't been posting much but I have been following all of the posts. I am 3DPO right now. I Oed early this month and ended up BDing on O day twice! I'm sure my pg chances are increased but I hope I did enough to sway girl to counteract that.

I have lost 20 lbs but my weight seems pretty stead these last few weeks. I did a little more relaxed diet this month (no tracking) but tried to avoid protein, limit salt and skipped breakfast. I am getting tired of dieting and just want to be pg with a girl!

We are doing bstinence until after AF, then switching to frequent release.

And I have about three girl outfits under the bed. I figure it can't hurt, right?

Z - I need to update the last part of my intro:

Low Everything diet (4 months and counting now, and 20 lbs lost), frequent release, BD through O, Saw Palmetto, Vitex, Baby Aspirin, Benedryl/Zrytec + lots of aspartame around O. We just finished our 3rd month TTC, and are due to O around September 10th. I'm really hoping this is our month - we've now dropped both Sylk and Rephresh from our sway.

[Mochagirl]

Z - I really trust in that smiley face more than the lines. I usually get only one positive with the smilies, but when I keep testing with ICs they start almost positive for a couple of days, even if I'm fairly sure I O'd. Once I get that smiley I just assume O is imminent and start paying super close attention to my body's signals and temperatures (though I've only been doing this for the past month). Are you temping at all?

[zanacal]

I'm not temping and I've no intention of starting either - I'm obsessed enough as it is I have kind of inflamation in my lower tummy this evening which I always thought I got right when I O but maybe I get it afterwards! Either way, I'm happy that I either ovulated during the night or at some point today so all is well. I only use the smilies now too, I don't need to spend hours each day trying to decipher how dark a line is!! I just read about you upping aspartame close to your attempt - last night I think I drank 2 litres of diet pepsi!!

The main reason I'm going to up aspartame is because I'm dropping rephresh and sylk, but I'm sure your diet pepsi consumption will help your sway too. I drink one can daily as an afternoon treat when my stomach starts grumbling, but I think around O I'll drink a couple cans + chug several glasses of Crystal Light.

Yay rainbow, you're here

I drink way more than that, nasty habit I've got into which I'll stop as soon as I get a BFP! When I'm not drinking coke/pepsi I drink sugar free (ie. aspartame sweetened!) fruit cordial.
