Pinkin2019 TTC a GIRL Sway Attempt
TTC a Girl Sway AttemptGender Result:GIRL!!!!DW Age:34DH Age:34Current Children's Gender(s)Girl, boy, boyNumber of Months TTC3Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?YesDIET
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 to a pescetarian diet in January, so 9 months before attempts started, then dropped to vegetarian 4 months out, but after losing too much weight I added back in a bit of fish here and there. During the 2ww I also cheated with a meal of a little bit of chicken.If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
I started out keeping track of calories and protein and fat but I got so skinny that I ended up just sticking to my three meals a day with no snacking and eating until I felt full enough at those three meals. I also added in coffee (3 a day) and alcohol (once a day) which was totally new for me.4 months of LE diet before first attempt, but close to 7 months before bfp.Did you skip breakfast regularly?YesDid DH change his diet with you?YesComments regarding DH's diet-Initially he didn’t change his diet but went vegetarian for the last 2-3 months, only eating a bit of fish if I included it our dinner every so often.DId you consume alcohol?
He was probably drinking too much at the time, 4-5 drinks a night some weeks.
He included soy milk most days for 10 months and OLE for about 6 months.- Often- daily
DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I drink caffeine regularlyAny Diet Details?I took up coffee drinking from never having the stuff, to having 3 cups a day. I enjoyed that extra energy, I have to say! And I never liked alcohol but added in 1 drink a day.Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
I started out good with the LE diet but after I got down to 48kg I decided to just stick to three meals a day, no snacking (which was so hard to start with!), and not count my calories and fat etc.
I binged on chocolate a bit too much at my dinner meal sometimes, I’m talking sometimes a whole block!!! because I was just so gosh darn hungry. And still, I continued to drop weight until I was nearly 46kg. I’m thankful I got pregnant when I did because I just couldn’t keep losing weight on a diet any more.I cut out foods I would normally eat - oats, onions, garlic, cereal, celery. I drank almond milk and rice milk instead of cow milk. And cut back on eggs and nutrient-dense foods like spinach.WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
I found it hard on the diet to start with, especially no snacking, but got used to it. I tried to push breakfast out to 9.30-10am each day (we had dinner at 5pm each night, so it was about a 17-hour fast). I see a lot of ladies go until midday before eating though, so I feel nervous about that.
I got used to eating less but I looked terrible for it! Too skinny.
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?47kg/BMI 17.26 - eek!Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?I did 50-60 minutes of walking 6 days a week. Sometimes it was 4 or 5 days but mostly it was 6 days.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if knownNo ideaAny VG potions used?- Sylk
CM pH at attempt-DH pH-How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?1BD Dates according to Ovulation- 3 Days Before O
Any additional comments?DH had been doing frequent release, I think for just over a week. Hubby had a hot bath before the attempt, and I had a shower. We used a bit of Sylk as lube. I jumped and dumped after 5 minutes.THE DEED INFO
I was on clomid and we dtd as my husband was going away. However, two days later my dr cancelled the cycle because there were 3 follicles... it was a nervous few weeks after the bfp to see how many were in there! But just the one.
DH Info about Swimmers- Frequent Release
BD PositionMissionaryDid you Jump and Dump?- Yes
Any relevant attempt details?-SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements- Clomid
- folic acid
- Fiber
DH Supplements-Any additional supplement info?DH had soy milk and OLE daily.Did you do anything with Ions?No. Although I had a bracelet with rose quartz on it I wore sometimes. And where I walked was beside running water.Moon Phase during conception?Waning CrescentDid you use any Old Wives Tales?No.Things that make me feel great about my sway:I lost a lot of weight - about 6kg - which was heaps off my already small frame. (I did not like it.)Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I took up coffee and alcohol.
I was pretty good with my exercise most days. Very different for me!! I normally do zero exercise.
I stuck to no snacking and three meals. I pushed out breakfast as far as I could. All big changes from my usual lifestyle.That I ended up not keeping track of my intake. Those chocolate binges!Things worth mentioning:
That I couldn’t push my first meal out to lunchtime, like I see many swayers do.
That I’ve had a boy on clomid before (but was not swaying.)
That I had far too much CM, inexplicably.
That I just ‘feel’ this is another boy.I made a lot of big changes and feel I did as best I could in many ways. If I hadn’t lost too much weight I could’ve stuck to the limits of the diet better.Last edited by Pinkin2019; December 25th, 2019 at 10:31 PM.

I am in shock!! I just got my results back and I’m so, so happy and lucky to be able to say we are having a girl! I’m so very grateful to Atomic for all the advice and for this site. I really didn’t think I would get lucky and going by my symptoms I was 99% sure it would be a boy. But Atomic was right - symptoms don’t mean jack Forever grateful and man, the hunger and getting my butt out to exercise was totally worth every minute. (Not saying anyone should be hungry - just that even well over the calories limits I was still hungry...!)
Can’t believe it and even now doubting my midwife gave me the right results, haha.
I wish everyone the best of luck on their journeys xand pregnant with

Just thought of a couple of things I forgot to mention.
I went on the contraceptive pill at the start of the year, 9 months out from first ttc.
I swapped olive oil and butter for canola oil and margarine.

2 weeks before. Keep in mind that many people think they actually sway blue and WANT to be on them for their sway. OPK are fallible. We use them because it's the best technology we have, but...
