    Any additional comments?
    With first DD we did doggy so I didn't believe positions would influence us.
    Any relevant attempt details?
    This is what I believe messed us up! We were BDing about every 2-4 days. I O'd earlier than predicted. The weekend I got my +OPK was crazy. So, I got a positive OPK at 7:30am and we BD at 2:30pm. I stayed in bed for about 30 minutes. I think we jumped the gun and BD's too early and should have waited till the night to BD.
    Any thoughts? We had so many things to do this weekend and it stressed me out since all I could think about was the sway.

    We went out that night and my husband ended up drinking. I also ended up breastfeeding my daughter at midnight as she was being super fussy. The next morning we tried to BD and he could not finish (TMI). I was panicking! We BD'd again at 11:30am and 9:00pm that night. We also BD'd the following 2 nights after this.

    I feel the drinking, breastfeeding, stress and panicking all impacted my sway in the opposite direction or I just have bad luck :-(

    I would love any feedback on this...

    I should mention, my first daughter was also conceived at 2:30pm in the afternoon?!

    Also, my husband has changed a lot in bed. He finishes quicker and does not last as long as he used to. Is this because of age? Could this impact the sex of our baby in any way (I know I'm over analyzing).
    Did you do anything with Ions?

    Things that make me feel great about my sway:
    My diet! I followed it quite well but would have tried to cut back on the coffee more.
    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    See above, many things.

    Also, age is not on our side.
    Things worth mentioning:
    I am so grateful for this site. Learned alot even though we might not ever get our boy :-(

    I was so sure we were pregnant with a boy. My diet was so different for when I conceived my first daughter and so was my pregnancy.

    I was shocked when the doctor called out girl at the birth. I didn't realize I could feel this much gender disappointment (I adore my child) but this is our last and I need to work through how I will never mother a boy (I never dreamed I'd be a mommy to girls -- I feel more like a boy mom and it depresses me that I won't be a hockey mom.)

    If anyone could chime in and let me know how they think my sway could have been better, I'd appreciate it. Thank you to all, especially Atomic.

    Sorry your sway didn’t go the way you wished
    But congratulations on your baby girl! Gender disappointment is really tough, I hope it gets easier for you as she grows.

    I'm so sorry it didn't go the way we hoped. I prefer not to go over sways that are done deals because I don't think it accomplishes anything other than to give you guys things to beat yourself up for. I think you had a great sway and the cards just didn't go your way.

    I’m glad it’s getting easier day by day I know what you mean about feeling like a boy mum/ or a girl mum - and I reckon it helps somewhat once their little personalities emerge.
    Thanks for the pink dust xx

    Hi folks,

    I'm about 5 months post partum with my second child. We swayed for a boy but it did not work.

    Day to day the absence feelings of having a little boy does get easier. However, recently, I'm discovering more friends are having little boys and it brings back the GD.

    I can't help but to look over my plan and dissect it to pieces and blame myself for drinking coffee or not lifting weights enough - I know it's bizarre.

    I am curious to know whether the time of day of having intercourse impacts the likelyhood of conceiving a specific sex of the baby? With both my daughters, we had intercourse at exactly 2:30pm -- I'm fairy sure this is when we conceived both girls -- we rarely had intercourse at night due to schedules. I know how ridiculous this may sound as I type -- maybe I'm reaching out for some help. I'm finding myself so sad lately about this.
