Update - it's a GIRL

This was our 3 TTC, first month I didn't know that I ovulate late in the cycle so by the time I got +ve OPK , DH abstinence was 7 days so we didn't try, last month L-Arg messed up my ovulation so by the time I got +ve OPK ( only once) the fertile window was gone, we tried but BFN. I was following much better HE diet these two months . This month I was more casual with the diet, dropped L-Arg and added folic acid. I was just happy and relaxed this month.The Ovulation was as expected and today I got my BFP :))

Swaying attempt - Natural

CM pH - don't know, I did not do BSF or BSD ( did them last month and had BFN, so I went natural)

Baking soda Drink - Yes the day before O and day of O ( only one teaspoon BS)

Did you use Pre-seed - Yes we used lot of pre-seed lube ( we had bought it already so why not use it)

Egg whites used/type/pH No

Big O - yes both attempts.

MINERALS

Calcium Avoided as much as possible
Magnesium Avoided as much as possible
Potassium - banana, banana and banana
Sodium Sea salt on EVERYTHING


DIET
Dietary Changes Ate Bananas every day, salted everything I ate, Drank green tea 2 everyday, made sure that I have protein in every meal ( I am veg so lot of tofu and Luna bars), had breakfast every morning, try to avoid all dairy and eggs. I was drinking V8, lots of water, tomato juice.

Did you continue diet after attempt/ how long? No.

DH caffeine consumption before BD day Yes. Just the morning tea

DH caffeine 1/2 hour or an hour before BD No.


SUPPLEMENTS
Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) No

DH undies type - Boxer
Did you use instead cups/how long? No
DH cold bath/ shower - No
OWT - anything under bed? No but kept picture of hubby as a baby in front of my bed.


COMMENTS - I would not call my attempt a hardcore but I am happy with it. I did have confusion about the O timing but I think we were fine. Last month we did redbull before BD but this month we forgot. I was paying much more attention to my body for O signs and on Sunday ( Nov 11) I was feeling some tingling in breast, O pain and stuff, at night I did OPK but negative, still we went ahead and BD, then Monday morning I had positive OPK and we BD again... I got +ve OPK till Tuesday evening but we did not BD again to avoid O+12 zone. I would be happy with a healthy baby but really happy with a healthy baby BOY. This is our last so .... it would be awesome to have a son.

My sway failed, may be I am meant to have girls... I am happy that the baby is healthy. I am already getting excited for my new baby girl. Thanks for evrybody's help and encouragement.

Great sway. Do you avoid dairy and eggs because your veg? Or was that one of your sway factors?

And CONGRATS, I'll be stalking you!

I avoided because I understood that they have acidic affect on the body. I was following an alkaline diet. I did not know about the custom diet plans I could have gotten here... so just did whatever made me more alkaline.

I am 14w4d now and getting extreme anxiety over baby's gender. I know that it is pretty stupid because I would love this baby no matter what but I really really want a boy….. and this is making me very restless. Is it common? How do you deal with this anxiety ? What steps can I take to make GD small if it is lovely daughter?

Thanks for the help.

I had a lot of anxiety over the gender of my sway baby too. I swayed boy and was convinced we were having a girl (gut feeling). We chose not to find out gender until the birth and it was a boy! So even if you are anxious, you could very well be having a boy. I know for me not finding out until birth would have helped if my baby had been a girl, because I had pretty bad GD with DD2 after my gender ultrasound at 20 weeks, and the last half of that pregnancy sucked. I guess if you think you might have GD if you are carrying a girl, maybe waiting until birth would help.

I am stressing out about gender too. Even though I know that is not good for the baby. I will be finding out in 13 days and I just think the not knowing is killing me. At the moment I am pretty sure I am having a girl.
My SIL had a baby girl on new years day and she is so cute that she is helping me with GD as when I am holding her I think that another girl would be perfect too. Also i started feeling movement 2-3 weeks ago and that is helping me bond with my baby regardless of gender.

Thanks Hobbermitten and Pearl. I don't think that we can wait till the birth for gender..... just don't have the patience to do it. It's a good idea though.
I am trying to guess as per heartbeat ( 155 at 14w3d) and it points to girl, Chinese calendar also says girl... so I think it is a girl. I am also trying to convince myself that a girl would be okay. It’s just I don't like myself for being restless on something I don't have much control over. But I have to keep it all together and send good vibes to the baby.
Good luck Pearl… only 13 days to go…….. wow that is some emotional time. Good luck. I really hope that you get your baby boy.

I wouldn't go by the heartbeat.. Both my girls had heartbeat around the 140mark. With my first daughter we didn't find out the gender. When I was in labour the midwife said ohh sound like there's a little boy in there-but turned out to be my gorgeous little girl. Don't stress too much on the heartbeat.. Hope u have a little boy in there!!! Hehe

Thanks Huds! I remember with my DD the heartbeat was always in 160 -170 s... but can't remember the week.....lol
Actually I am thinking very seriously about Hobbermittens suggestion of not finding out till birth because I know that if it is a DD.....i will have GD and i don't want to send sad feelings to my daughter. I will keep you guys posted.

Prayforaboy, I really hope you have a little boy and I understand your strong desire for one.
Babies heart rate is a myth and has been proven inaccurate. The only difference is very slight and closer to birth.
I have hoped to hear boy prior to all three of my beautiful daughters births but, in all honesty, once they are out I can't remember ever feeling a moments disappointment . I think you separate the desire for a certain sex with the baby you hold in your arms, at least I always have.
I had GD at my 20 weeks scan with DD3. By the time I had her, I was so over it and looking forward to meeting her.

Thank you luvalittleman..... Tonight I had a dream that I have four daughters... :) and they were all so beautiful. but it is not possible because this one is going to be our last and I am sure that there is only one baby in there.

We never discussed No.3 - she was a surprise. I talked DH into No.4.
At 28, I wasn't interested in having children...life is strange.

Hi pray for a boy!

Dont rely on heartbeat at all. My cousin's baby had a HB of 156, and she just gave birth to a boy!!
