TTC a Girl Sway AttemptGender Result:GirlDW Age:30DH Age:42Current Children's Gender(s)None for meNumber of Months TTC
DH has 3 x boys4Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?NoDIET
Did you follow a diet plan?YesIf yes to diet, which one did you most follow?- LE(Low Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes-I went fully vegetarian and started LE diet from around 7 months before TTC. Then from September (when we started TTC) I followed LE diet pretty religiously. However this slipped hugely over Christmas - I ate meat, snacked between meals and ate the wrong things! We ended up conceiving around 5th Jan so really thought I'd messed it up!If diet was used, length of time before attempt?Most elements around 10/11 months before, full LE diet 3 months before successful attemptDid you skip breakfast regularly?YesDid DH change his diet with you?NoComments regarding DH's diet-He ate as normal, though less meat than he was used to as we still ended up sharing a lot of meals.DId you consume alcohol?- Often- daily
DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I drink caffeine regularlyAny Diet Details?I was vegetarian and tried to follow LE diet restrictions in terms of protein and fat and skipping breakfast. I drank around 5 black coffees with sweetener per day and drank at least 1 unit of alcohol per day.Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
However in the run up to Christmas I slipped up and did quite a lot of overeating/oversnacking. I also ate breakfast and ate meat in our successful cycle!-WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?Around 126lbs, 20 bmi. Had lost weight on LE diet and reached my lowest adult weight (117lbs) when we started TTC which was 3 months before our successful cycle. Some weight slipped back on due to Christmas just before our BFP.Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?No exercise, just found it too hard to fit into my day so ended up doing pretty much none.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if known-Any VG potions used?- NO
CM pH at attempt-DH pH-How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?2BD Dates according to Ovulation- 3 Days Before O
- 1 Day Before O
- After O
Any additional comments?I was doing 1 attempt for our first 3 cycles. Unfortunately I was finding myself getting a bit stressed out with tracking cycles and swaying. So I went a bit "eff it all" for our fourth cycle which ended up being the successful one! I stopped tracking BBT (used OPK to track O) and went for EoD so ended up having 2 attempts in the run up to ovulation (and one the day after). Really thought that this more than anything would have given us a boy!THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers- BD every few days
BD PositionMultipleDid you Jump and Dump?- For some attempts
Any relevant attempt details?Not sure if it counts as J&D - would chill out for about 10 or 15 minutes before going to the loo after DTD.SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements- folic acid
DH Supplements-Any additional supplement info?-Did you do anything with Ions?-Moon Phase during conception?New MoonDid you use any Old Wives Tales?-Things that make me feel great about my sway:Spent almost a year doing most of the LE diet stuff and attempting a girl-friendly lifestyle.Things that make me nervous about my sway:Messed up LE diet loads in the successful cycle, so I gained weight, as well as having extra attempts!Things worth mentioning:I really did sway religiously for 10 months before our BFP! But the amount of boy-sway things I did in our successful cycle made me absolutely sure that I had ended up with a little boy. And I had totally made my peace with that and was quite looking forward to having a little dude in my life.
So was a very big surprise today at our gender scan when we saw a little girl in there! Lots of tears and still in massive shock.

Thanks everyone! I haven't been very active on here since I got my BFP - life suddenly got so busy with being a pregnant lady! But I absolutely had to come back to update you all once I found out. You have all been so lovely and helpful and even if I'd found out I was having a boy I would still be super grateful to you all for the support!
Besides, I found the statistics so interesting during my time here that I couldn't let a successful sway go unreported!
Edit: Pbn3, congratulations on having your DD! I missed that! xxLast edited by plasticserenity; April 16th, 2018 at 04:00 AM.

Hi everyone, I gave birth to my first lovely daughter in September. I was wondering what would be the best timing to start trying for another girl? Would that be a year after giving birth, 18 months...
Best timing for ttc girl after...
