LilithWiser1979 TTC a GIRL Sway Attempt
TTC a Girl Sway AttemptGender Result:GIRL!!!DW Age:34 (35 in one month)DH Age:33Current Children's Gender(s)Boy (6 1/2)Number of Months TTC
Boy (3)
Boy loss (in October 2012)1Did 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-Vegetarian except for a few cheats, ALWAYS stayed under protein upper limits (except for a few cheats) but had a harder time with fat. Some of this time was the PCOS (brown carbs version) of LE. I know there aren't supposed to be any forbidden foods, but I counted fermented vegetables and cereal as personally forbidden. I also ALWAYS skipped breakfast, and had my first breakfast in months today to celebrate my BFP!If diet was used, length of time before attempt?13 weeks (very loose the first week)Did you skip breakfast regularly?YesDid DH change his diet with you?NoComments regarding DH's diet-He did NOTHING! He has a daily protein shake, eats meat at least twice a day, and even started creatine during my sway At least he drinks lots of alcohol and caffeine!DId you consume alcohol?- Often- daily
DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I drink caffeine regularlyAny Diet Details?2-3 cups of coffee every morning, 1-3 alcoholic drinks per evening, stayed below the 1800 calories per day and often below 1500.Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?-WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?155 lbs to start, and I am at 141 now. Weight came off slowly with lots of plateaus, but I was happy to see that I lost 2 lbs in the 2WW. This was not my lowest conception weight, but the last time I was 135 and crossfitting while eating paleo, so hopefully this is better for pink!Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?7 weeks of 5-7 days a week, one hour minimum per day cardio. I most often chose the elliptical, but occasionally speed-walked on the treadmill. There was NO weight training or muscle building, but I did follow each workout with extensive foam rolling and stretching to prevent injuries, which I am prone to. I was ANAL about maintaining my gym schedule. I averaged more than 6 days per week of exerciseTHINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if knownUnknown (stopped believing in this!)Any VG potions used?- NO
CM pH at attemptUnknownDH pHUnknownHow many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?1BD Dates according to Ovulation- 1 Day Before O
Any additional comments?1 attempt at +OPK, no orgasm at attempt or for one month prior. Did not DTD again for 5 days (he was mad at me!)THE DEED INFO
DH released on his own as he saw fit (I "gave him a hand" 2 days prior to our attempt.)
DH Info about Swimmers- Other
BD PositionDoggy styleDid you Jump and Dump?- No
Any relevant attempt details?-SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements- Chitosan
- Baby asprin
- folic acid
- Fiber
DH Supplements-Any additional supplement info?Cinnamon in my coffee daily (1/4-1/2 tsp)Did you do anything with Ions?
Myoinositol (1/2 Pregnitude dosage) one month prior to attempt.I feel silly admitting it, but my fan has an ionizer setting that I kept on. I figured that it couldn't hurt and might help!Moon Phase during conception?Waning GibbousDid you use any Old Wives Tales?No. Did a spell with my sister, who has only girls, a year ago to "exchange" my ability to have only boys with her ability to have only girls (she wants a boy.) It was a beautiful ritual, and I hope it worked for both of us despite the fact that it was a year ago. I opted not to get Martha-obsessive-y and do a spell while swaying this time.Things that make me feel great about my sway:LE for 12+ weeks, intense exercise without breaks for 7 weeks, one attempt, fiber/chitosan supps before EVERY meal, brought down my stress/obsession level DRAMATICALLY, DH and I are pretty heavy drinkers, and had polished off about 10 beers between the two of us the night of our attempt, no O before or after attempt (that was HARD,) consistent breakfast skipping, didn't eat until 1:30 pm the day after ovulation (unintentional!) and had been seriously sleep deprived for DAYS at conception. Also, I'm still breastfeeding my 3 year old 1-3 times a day (not sure if that sways much at all.)Things that make me nervous about my sway:No sway is ever "perfect," opposites happen and all I've ever made are boys. I ate TONS of salt, had LOTS of cheating in the 2ww (although I did skip breakfast until this morning.) I wish I'd been sick when I was ovulating, or that I was less of a Martha! I'd like to have taken Saw Palmetto, Clomid, or had a supportive DH!Things worth mentioning:I will say that I DID NOT do the visualizations, crazy Chinese gender chart obsessions, or anything else that would make me a mega-Martha in these past 3 months. I gave up FaceBook (which brought my blood pressure up when I got in debates,) political activism, road rage, being the major event planner for our friend group, and even changed my radio habits from news to music from my iPod to reduce stress and hopefully lower T levels. I kept our weekly game night with friends because I look so forward to it, but I will say that the entire process of swaying brought my competitiveness down about 10 notches. I've never cared so little if I won or lost.
I'm pretty sure I gave this one everything I was capable of giving. If it doesn't work out, then I guess I'm just not destined to have a daughter. It's a depressing thought, but at least it was a good sway!Last edited by LilithWiser1979; May 21st, 2014 at 02:37 PM. Reason: UPDATE

Oh! I forgot to add that it was my first cycle post progesterone-only BCP. I don't know if that'll help my sway, but I can hope!

Hello everyone. I am new here but not new to swaying. I have 3 boys who are 7, 5 and 18 months old. I did not sway with my first two as I knew nothing about swaying and I wanted them to be boys...
Praying for a baby girl after 3...
