Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I really tried for low blood sugar levels for much of the day. I don't eat that much or often generally so it wasnt a huge, hard change. I think I may be girl friendly naturally but I didn't want to chance it too much.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

I was not as strict with diet as my last successfully sway and I didn't lose much weight.

Things worth mentioning:

My Verifi test says it's another girl but it's too soon to see for certain. I took the extra supplements for egg quality since I'm nearly 40 and wanted to try for the healthiest baby I could. Plus side is that they seem to help for a girl and I had no issues from taking them.

Congrats! I'm swaying pink for my first and will sway pink for my 2nd too. Hoping to have at least 2 girls first, maybe only depending on how things go/how long it takes, as I'll be 35 in a few days. Nice to see someone did what I'm trying to do! Can I ask how old you were when you conceived your first, how many cycles it took and how many BD attemps you had in the fertile period?

Btw, I think you BDed the day BEFORE O; O pain isn't reliable for determining O and you need to BD at least 12 hours before O in order to conceive, so you probably Oed the next am at the earliest.

Out of curiosity, did you have much visible EWCM the cycles you conceived your girls? Are you planning on any more children or are you done?

[atomic sagebrush]

Great sway! You def did a sway diet, no doubt about it.

Hi! I conceived my first baby at 37.5yo (it's in the confirmed sways section). I have very consistent cycles and I tracked them very closely using digital (cbe) opks for months so it only took the first cycle to conceive her and only 1 attempt about 12hrs after pos opk. I know for a lot of people pains might not be reliable for ov but they really are for me and correspond with other signs like cm and I can tell which side I am ovulating from (confirmed by u/s in both pregs). Also in years past, I had some half hearted attempts (not ready then) about 36-40hrs after a pos opk and no conception so I ov not too long after I get a pos opk apparently. In my mind, we attempted within 24 hrs of ov so same day but if you think of it as a day before that's fine. Re cm, I had slippery but clumpy (not egg) cm 2 days before my pos opk that tapered off by our attempt.

Oh I didn't consider it a diet because it wasn't a recommended diet and I don't want someone to do what I did (not track/potentially overeat) and fail. I did LE properly last time but not this time. That's my disclaimer!
