TTC boy sway Summer 2011

Vesna: BSF is baking soda finger

 Hi girls ! I thought there is no more blue swayers on IG!

Vesna you are so right about the breakfast ! We must eat breakfast ! And the calcium may be thrue .

I read along on the other website where a lot of us moved over and "atomic" (Kristin) is a great help there like ehightlilpigs says .

She talks a lot the way you see things .

Anyway my ph is crap too ladies. But bsf is not the best it's not a "real" change . I want to change it with the diet but no luck yet.

I'm new. :) Someone pointed me to this thread as a place for mamas wanting boys.  Dh and I have 5 dds (00, 02, 04, 06, and 08).  I'm 31.  We are going to do PGD starting in August.  Our preliminary testing for IVF is next week.  We have gone back and forth on sway and pray vs. high-tech and have finally settled on high-tech.  I am not looking forward to the needles and such, but I am willing to do it to get our boy and complete our family. :) I had GD really bad with our last girl, so high-tech is the way to go for us.  I hope to be holding my very own baby boy next summer! :)

Thanks PeachyKeen. I have been reading the kirstendog stuff and they are great make complete sense to me. Btw did you also know the following extensions to the trivers willard stuff: beautiful people are more likely to have girls, caring and nuturing people are more likely to have girls, so we must be all in great company !! Does anybody know whether Kirsten had a girl or another boy? I am not sure about emailing people I do not know eightlittle pigies how do I know you r not a spammer wanting my and the rest of the poeple here's email address? Would be great if somebody could tell me how Kirsten went?

i think she had a boy.....

Kristin was on a swaying break when she conceived her last baby which was indeed another little boy for her. She has changed her username to atomic sagebrush , if you google it with swaying then you should find one of the new sites:) that way you won't need to give out any details your not happy too :) Hope to be chatting smoothly to all you ladies soon xx

hi ladies
 i'm waiting to trying to conceive till august as huby works out of town..i'm about to start my pre ttc vitamins and supplements...
 I  will try to conceive my first  baby and will love to have a  i have decided to sway a little and don,t want to overdo it.this is what i,m going to take....

EPO....1000mg

FA....800mcg

 green tea...3 cups daily

fish oil   1000mg

vit.e...    400

i want to know should i take EPO until ovulation or can i take it full cycle..
i have heard it may  implantation but i,m not ttc this cycle..any opinions

good luck to all of u for your sway...i would love to share your experience and opinions??

I think you should up your intake of fa to 2000mg a day especially if you are drinking green tea as green tea has been linked to spina bifida if consumed during early pregnany.

thanx eight for suggestion...i would double the dose soon...havv u any idea about EPO...

I think?? that epo and fish oil shouldn't be taken together, too many hormones?? If you do the search for kristin above, then I'm sure theres something mentioned over there about it. I'll try and look it up for you later but need to run and get kids now LOL!!

I think you should up your intake of fa to 2000mg a day especially if you are drinking green tea as green tea has been linked to spina bifida if consumed during early pregnany.

I think you should speak to your doctor jenny2011 before you decide to take such a lge dose of folate. Excessive folate has been linked to astmha especially if there is a familily history of it in your family. I will havbe to speak to mine as well before I increase mine because we do have family history.

BSF= means baking soda finger i think

my doc.suggested me pernatal which contain 800 mg fa...i haven' discussed other supplements which i;m taking to conceive a  i'v to take them on my own risk... please share what all of you are taking to ttc blue...so that we may share each other experience.. my plan iz

I am only taking fish oil and folate and drinking 2 cups of green tea per day, but I am not really following the IG diet. DH is taking zinc and fish oil and is eating and drinking same things as me: meat, tomato sauce on everything, V8 and apple juice, potatoes, bananas that is all.

I'm afraid I didn't have any luck getting any more info on the epo but I've copied one of atomic's quotes on the FA and asthma from the other site, hth for now! 3)This is not a stupid question at all. Yes, .5 milligrams is the equivalent of 500 micrograms. I would just take the 5 mg back to the store because unless you have a baby with a neural tube defect you don't need to take that much anyway, and it's not going to be as well absorbed when you take a large dose all at once. Yes, I have read about the link between folic acid and asthma. However, the data that I read said that it's folic acid taken during the THIRD trimester and not the first trimester. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...1104111735.htm (one of many articles that you can find via the power of Google ). If you ahve read on the Internet that FA causes asthma when taken in the first tri, this is a very dangerous typo. ALL pregnant women, esp. blue swayers, MUST take folic acid during the first trimester to prevent birth defects, and then slowly wean themselves off to their prenatal vitamin, do not quit cold turkey. The recommended dosage for blue swayers is 2000 mcg (that's MICROgrams) a day, taken in 4 or 5 smaller dosages spaced throughout the day so you could take 4 of your .5 mg pills, morning, noon, afternoon, and before bed for best absorption. This seems like a lot, but the boy supps are very draining of folic acid. When I TTC my DS 3, I wasn't even on the boy diet but I was drinking green tea twice a day and even though I was taking 800 mcg, he still has a small, mild form of spina bifida.
