Two questions - tea and dtd, pink sway

[Tiggerian]

Right. Ive confused myself
So much has changed since my last pink sway!!

Are herbal teas allowed?

Specifically mint tea and white peony?

Others blends I like to drink are rose, lavender, chamomile, vanilla

They are caffeine-free teas, with no black tea in it.

Anyone knows?

Second question. We've settled on FR with one attempt. Is that one attempt at any time in the fertile window or best when noticing ewcm or positive ovulation test?

Not sure about the tea, but one attempt usually takes place at positive ovulation test.

When are you planning on swaying?

From December ish

Im currently settling into the diet

Both mint and white peony may sway pink, I do not feel like i have good data on peony for safety so I do not use it. if you do, AF- 1-2 days before O

other teas are fine in dietary amounts

Any time for the one attempt is fine, BUT doing it at pos OPK makes it easy on you (removes the guesswork) and also good odds of conception.

Thanks Atomic! I started drinking Peony tea after reading others with PCOS having good results with it, in terms of lowering testosterone. I don't know how big a part it has played, but my last few readings have shown my testosterone levels to be more or less stable in the "borderline" area. Even had a few normal readings.

I'll be careful and only drink it sparingly.

Wait, aren't green and white teas in the same category??? White tea is just less processed than green tea, but the same leaves, as is black tea. I was drinking white tea daily, and occasionally green tea, when I got pregnant with both boys. Now I avoid green, black, and white tea and only drink coffee!

Essence I am a little confused.

Green, white, and black tea are "camellia sinesis" actual TEA tea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camellia_sinensis

mint tea and white PEONY are herbal teas made from different plants, respectively mint and peony plant (the kind with the pretty flowers) and are botanically different with different medicinal quantities.

White peony may sway pink. White TEA (camellia sinesis) is just a type of regular old tea that may sway more blue.

I have always been a big tea drinker and got my 4 boys with tea, then my girl with coffee.

Oh, I thought white peony was just a type of white tea, like how you have jasmine green tea, etc! I thought white peony would be like white silver needle. Silver needle is a type of white tea. I'm pretty sure that's what I used to drink daily. So peony is a different plant? I get it LOL!

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes it's like the Peony plant made into tea.
