How we made girls...by girl moms! (PINK DUST!!!)

[Mamato3?]

Both of my DDs were conceived in warm weather (spring and summertime), for both we had 14 days abstain, missionary position, with O, first was J&D second i spleeped without dropping the semen, I sleep always lying on my left side (old wives tail I think but didn't do it on purpose), I work a lot of hours during spring-summertime and always lose weight cause I skip meals, rarely if ever I eat breakfast, drink 2-3 coffees per day, I drink very small amount of water, don't like milk, cheese, yogurt, season my food generusly and with quite a lot of salt and I don't eat much protein in general...
Will do my very best to change all of the above as I know now from what I've read here that they may have played role for my girls

I"ve seen at least one study that showed oil in and around the VJ causes yeast infections (and was true for me) so I personally don't recommend it.

Just thought I'd give my experiences with both my DDs. I got pregnant both times while I was dieting, doing a lot of cardio, and skipping breakfast. I was a huge Diet Coke and coffee drinker, and probably just wasn't in the best maternal health. We BD often (usually every other day if not every day) and I jumped and dumped every single time. I had no clue about swaying or anything like this when I got pregnant.

Whenever I've been on hormonal BC I have used olive oil or coconut oil as lube, often daily, as I can't use any storebought lubes. I have never had a YI while doing this, and other times I was on the pill but not having much sex or just not using oil, I have been prone to YIs. So if anything they seem to keep YIs away for me.

And that is absolutely fine. HOWEVER, I cannot stress strongly enough how that is a)not going to help anyone who is trying to get pregnant because sperm are not designed to swim through oil and b) it is an utterly TERRIBLE idea for anyone who is pregnant and especially anyone 35 weeks plus because if you give birth vaginally with oil in your birth canal it is extremely dangerous because the baby can aspirate on it.

[maidentomother]

I was only commenting in terms of YIs.

[atomic sagebrush]

I know, I just have to be really super clear on stuff. The original poster had mentioned doing it during pregnancy and tons of people use oil as lube when TTC and it is a no-no on both fronts.

[maidentomother]

I agree, better to use your own CM when TTC over anything else. Over on FF ladies with plenty of EWCM ask about using PreSeed and it pains me to think of them diluting what evolution perfected.
