An absolutely beautiful blue swayer on here sent me a gorgeous little girls skirt for good luck- I kept it under my bed

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

Clomid
Exercise
Diet length and weight loss exercise
Vegetarian for so long and no dairy
Dh and I did everything we could
One attempt

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

I already have one failed sway (ds2) which was very strong
Bd on o day

Things worth mentioning:

I am still breastfeeding
I did not get my pp af back until 14 months postpartum this time. With ds1 I got it back at 4 months pp despite ebf- I think going completely vegan and massive weight loss attributed to this

This sway failed ( again) and it absolutely tore me up when I found out we were expecting ds3.
My dh cried- I have only ever seen him cry one other time when his best friend died so it was just as devastating for him.
I put everything into this sway thinking it was my last chance and to find out boy again just broke me at first
I am 22 weeks now and can only just post this sway as I know it may help someone.
We will try again for number 4 and hopefully my daughter ( my dh is a saint!)
Any tips for our third try greatly appreciated!

[kittendreams]

Dh also took up smoking ( so so bad I know)
He has smoked now since before our last failed sway.
He also has at least one energy drink per day and started wearing briefs for our sway where he used to only wear boxers! He HATES briefs lol as they make him very uncomfortable. Poor guy he tried everything!!

[Kelbear]

So sorry your sway didn't go your way, it sounds like you put everything you could into it and I know it must seem unfair when you try so hard only for it not to work. I hope your new little man gives you great joy when he arrives and that you get your DD in the future

[Pretty]

That is an amazing sway, I think that just goes to show how determined (and destined) your little man is and how much he is meant to be apart of your family!

[Nell_]

Sorry it didn't go your way but all these feelings will melt away when you hold him in your arms😊 im sure you will gey your girl next and how cool to have 3 big brother's your house will be full of fun x

[LMSM]

That third little man is blessed to be coming into your family...you did your everything to sway, am keeping my FX fate puts a baby sister on your road for your three handsome boys down the path , and that you and DH get your much longer for daughter
Xx

[LA_Girl]

Thank you for sharing your sway. You will know from already having boys how much joy you have to come.

I totally understand how this must have torn you up when you found out, especially after how hard you tried. Sending you hugs.

[Elena86]

Wow, what a great sway! You did everyhing you could.
This little man really wants to be with you guys!
GD hurts very bad but you will get over this.

[kittendreams]

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement girls.
I am slowly coming to realise the meaning in all of this and am learning to want what I have- not what I don't have if that makes sense?
One thing I know is that this little man is already loved by us all. He was meant for us and I'm grateful to be his mummy xx
