Is it too late to join? Our first attempt will be in March (then every month after) I did get a personalized sway plan, which is the LE for PCOS (based on previous ovulation issues). It's been a process to figure out, because I've always been an exerciser/runner and don't have a lot of weight to lose; I used to snack all day though and had a relatively healthy diet. Lots of protein before. So, this eating plan goes against what I'd been doing, and I'm always second guessing myself. I workout 30 min a day/7 days a week (just don't have time for 60), taking fiber supps and folic acid. DH taking OLE and cutting back on meat (and very little red meat). Getting nervous, now that it's coming down to less than 6 weeks. Eek!

Come on in JJ66! LE is a huge adjustment, isn't it?! I can say though, that my mom and 3 sisters all eat the LE way every day. It blows my mind! That helps me feel like it's more "healthy" somehow. I am somehow the black sheep of the family. LOL!

My mom has 4 girls/2boys, 1 sister has 3 girls/2 boys, and the other 4 girls/1 boy. They all swayed to get boys!! So, the diet definitely makes a difference! I've been dropping hints to my other sister that she's doomed to have girls if she doesn't change things (she's really wanting a DS). Their daughters give me a lot of motivation to keep up with the diet!

Momamia4- that makes me feel better hearing your sisters all got boys from swaying.... Did they use this site?

Jj66- how exciting that it's soooo close! My attempt seems so far away!

[mommymachine]

Ok so I am putting my DH on
Cal/mag
cranberry
LR
and OLE

Last sway he was on the first 3, I don't think I knew about OLE then.

Welcome jj66. We know what you mean about the diet, it goes against everything that feels right and healty.
What you say is really hopefull momamia4 about your mom and sisters! Diet really does it then, especially combined with exercise. About that, I don't mean to be rude or anything but jj66, I think it's really important that you get to the 60 minutes. For what I understood does it take about 45 minutes before your body has used all sources from food and after that it uses storage of bodyfat and muscles to get energy and that's what sways pink

Ashforblue, my mom swayed from a book she read. I can't remember what it's called, but I'll ask her. I know that she changed her salt intake and BD more frequently to get them. It worked for her!

As for my sisters. The one who had 2 boys, actually had twin boys. She is a smoker and a vegetarian. She had stopped smoking when she found out she was pg with her DD1. Then, she didn't start smoking again afterward because she was bf and was afraid it would effect her milk supply. She had also read a lot about increasing milk supply, so she had started a new diet where she increased her intake of healthy fats and vitamins. She was very paranoid about her milk supply. She had also started doing weight bearing exercises as she had gained a lot of weight (60lbs) while pg with DD1. She conceived when DD1 was only 6 months old. I also asked her last night and she said they were BD more frequently than normal during that time.

My other sister also swayed without knowing it. What's funny is that I was actually the reason she swayed, lol! We were living with her for about 3 months before she conceived and I would cook dinner every night. So, she was eating an extremely boy-friendly diet for those 3 months and then she conceived! HAHA! We would also exercise together because we are both overweight. She would do whatever I did (calisthenics is easy/free and my preferred method of exercising). I'm not sure about frequency of BD for her. Her DS will be 1 in a few days.

Hugs on your loss, 2boys! I'm TTC this spring after 2 losses too...the first was in the summer, then a second at 11 weeks in December. I'm doing a super light sway this time. I'm taking vitex and folate right now. I also take magnesium and benadryl nightly to sleep—a habit I started after my second loss when I needed something to knock me out. I'm trying to do cardio, though I'm not militant about it. Doing closer to the PCOS diet rather than LE, but hoping to lose some weight. After being pregnant nearly 5 months last year, I've gained everything I lost last year on the LE back...and possibly then some. Most of my sway honestly consist of doing things to alleviate stress and be more relaxed. Long walks, hot lavender baths, and letting the Frozen song be my mantra in every stressful situation. (Let it goooooo....)
