[Mum23boys]

Hi hun there are a few threads on this and also a chart that shows how many of us swayed with clomid and what else we did and what we are expecting if we know ... perhaps do a search at the top - if i can find the link ill post it for you but on my phone at moment so cant. x

I took it days 4-8 50mg and conceived twins but sadly only 1 is still alive and i have no idea of the sex though a dream suggests boy and we lost a girl but am hoping thats my mind playing tricks on me !!

So sorry for your loss :( prayers for the other lil one you still carry! :Hp I was a twin and my mother had a m/c with my brother or sister as well (too early to know). Can't wait to hear how it goes! And thank you.. I will try another search. I only found two threads when I tried before but will search some more :)

I took Clomid 100mg days 5-9 in 2010 and conceived my Son. Last Cycle I started clomid again and got pregnant first cycle but lost the baby at 7weeks 11 days ago. My doc said there is no need to wait before trying again so I took first day of miscarriage as cd1 and started clomid 100mg days 3-7.

I am sooooo hoping for a little girl this time.

were you doing any of the sway tactics when you concieved your son? so sorry about the m/c :broken:
hope you get what you are hoping for this time!

[Pumpkin2011]

I didn´t know I was swaying blue but I definitely did. My diet was very boy friendly and I was using pre seed. BD Frequency was every 2 days so I guess a girl didn´t have a chance :worry:.

This time I am on LE diet, don't eat any meat at all. I am skipping breakfast, drinking Coke light, Peppermint tea and raspberry leaf tea. I am taking only folic acid and would like to BD every day. That´s pretty much all I do because I am afraid to do too much since I am on clomid.

Do you need to take clomid or are you just thinking about it for swaying reasons?

[atomic sagebrush]

We've been having some outstanding success rates with Clomid + diet.

You saying that means sooooo much to me.

[atomic sagebrush]

Nothing is 100% but I think it's the best sway and it helps people get pregnant quicker too.

[Mrs_P]

I took clomid purely for swaying reasons, took 50mg cd 3 to 7 - i have posted my sway if you want a look or any questions please ask or feel free to pm me. I think there are a couple of us who have taken it purely to sway.

I found out at 12 weeks i'm having a little girl (fingers crossed if nothing goes wrong) after 3 boys so it worked for me

[Pumpkin2011]

@Mrs_P Congratulations :cheer:!! Did you do only diet or did you add other swaying techniques?

Last cycle I did SMEP but this one I want to try to BD everyday. I know it raises PH and therefore sways blue but I am hoping diet and clomid will do the bigger sway part. Since I O late usually the sperm count should be lowered already enough by the time my fertile days will start. Am I thinking wrong?? Somehow I don't feel confident about my sway at all but I want it to be perfect so bad!

I have a LPD, so couldn't get pregnant. I diagnosed myself because I had been temping and charting for 8 months. While I was waiting to get in to my OB for 2 months, I treated myself by taking BCPs for two weeks to up my hormones just enough and hopefully have normal rebound ovulation. Well, I saw my doc two weeks after that, he diagnosed me with LPD (surprise surprise) and prescribe clomid. I found out I was pregnant the next day. I still have the clomid, and have an appt to see my OB next week; however, I'd rather not do the BCPS method again-I have heard it has a greater risk of MC. However, it worked to get preg the first month with both my boys.

[Mum23boys]

Im not confident about my clomid sway but only because we ended up with twins and most fraternal twins have tended to be boy girl and im sure we lost the girl - i think if we had had a a singleton pregnancy from the start i would have felt more confident about it and more confident id get my daughter.

Thanks! I read through that... Now it's the diet part that makes me nervous, haha

Don't think that! And I don't know statistics, but fraternal twins you should have the same odds with each one as if it were two separate pregnancies (being two different eggs and two different sperm). You sway pink and they should both be swayed that way, right? I'm an OB nurse and I feel by far I see more boy/boy or girl/girl twins than girl/boy. That could just be me though. Not trying to make you feel better, but its just a waiting game... Wish you the best!!!

[Mum23boys]

thank u - im not sure whats ome over me lately - i wasnt all that bothered aboutgender to start with i was only swaying for DH as he would love a daughter but now i feel like im going to be a massive failure if i cant make his dream come true.

Since I O late usually the sperm count should be lowered already enough by the time my fertile days will start. Am I thinking wrong?? Somehow I don't feel confident about my sway at all but I want it to be perfect so bad!

I did the diet for a good 3-4 months and cut out a lot to make it as strict as i could. I also took baby aspirin (3x per week) and folic acid (1600 per day). I drank loads of diet coke (which i'd cut out with all my other pregnancies cause of the caffine) probably about 3-4 2litre bottles per week and squash with asparatame in it. I used rephresh 3 days before O. I took fiber (chitosan) with my main meal every day too. My husband also took calcium, magnesium, cranberry and LR. We did do FR starting cd3 but we did also have multiple attempts (i think we started dtd at least 4-5 days before O) but with the FR it really limited how much came out.

For me, as i hadn't got pregnant in previous cycles from one attempt, i decided the multiple attempts thing was the first to give up on my sway as in my opinion it swayed the least (most people i know with baby girls have had sex more than once a month) and i wanted to keep everything else in for a cycle or two but still wanted to get pregnant before i started to cheat on the diet (which i did really strictly as i conceived all three of my boys whilst loosing a lot of weight on pretty much a low cal empty carb diet - however, this time i cut out pretty much all vegetables and cheese / dairy).

I did also take vitex and sp 3 cycles before the clomid (as i hadn't intended to take the clomid, i took it purely for swaying reasons after i'd read a lot about it) but didn't catch those months.

To be honest, i beat myself up a lot about my sway, as a few of my lovely friends on here will tell you, especially after my bfp. I wanted it to be perfect and got really annoyed with myself when i saw one or two with a better sway (competitiveness i know - typical boy mom) but at the end of the day i did my best. I put myself through so much the months i swaying and i really did try as hard as i could. In the end i'm not sure if it worked or if i got lucky but thanks to god, atomic and the makers of clomid for me it worked, i hope it does for you too x

thank u - im not sure whats ome over me lately - i wasnt all that bothered aboutgender to start with i was only swaying for DH as he would love a daughter but now i feel like im going to be a massive failure if i cant make his dream come true.

no, you're not. he's the one that contributes the y chromosome if it's a boy - it's all him! ;)

[Mrs_P]

Don't think like that, whatever the outcome he will not see you as a failure! He look at you with the same pure amazement that i'm sure he has looked at you with with all of your other boys for creating a beautiful healthy perfect baby. My hubby had a preference but i genuinely think he would have loved whatever we had, his disappointment with ds3 was momentary.

On the other hand out of the twins in our group of girls we have 2 lots of boy/girl and a lot of girl/girl. You also need to remember that a lot of the girls that took the clomid needed it (which mean't it didn't sway girl as strongly for them). You had a good change at g/g but to some extent a better chance at the remaining little one being a girl as they are usually the stronger embryos (unless that an OWT but i seem to have read it a lot).

I understand you not being hopefully as i know i'm a fine one to talk but as you kept telling me, you had a great sway and stand a good chance (and you were right!)

[Mum23boys]

Thank u. Just being silly today. I think it was all that looking into gender scans

"thank u - im not sure whats ome over me lately - i wasnt all that bothered aboutgender to start with i was only swaying for DH as he would love a daughter but now i feel like im going to be a massive failure if i cant make his dream come true."

I also want to add Mum23 that our third boy was a surprise and I was scared the whole time my husband would be disappointed and the man laughed so hard when he was born and Daddy saw it was a boy and he smiled all day because he loves his family and I am sure your hubby will be the same way.....and BTW my hubby has ALWAYS desperately wanted a daughter too. :) That's why I am not afraid to probably make boy #4 with the guy. :fami01:

Yes, that's the thinking, if you BD every day starting CD 1 (you can have hubs release on his own during those early days) thru O, you will have lowered sperm count by the time the fertile window opens up.

something about swaying messes with your head - lots of people go into a sway with mild GD or even just out of curiosity and end up a basket case by the end of it. :(

Girls are more common among multiple births :fx:

Mrs P = congratulations on your little girl! What was your sway?
Pumpkin = FWIW, I conceived DD1 whilst taking clomid and being on a strict girl diet! I have PCO (not the full syndrome or side effects) I got pg the first month of taking 50mg days 2-6.

I see some take it anywhere form days 2-6 through 5-9... Most docs recommend 3-7 or 5-9. What's the difference? Any benefits to one over another?

[Mum23boys]

i think 3-7 and 4-8 are most common. The later you take it ie4-8 i have heard the better the quality of egg but Im not sure how true this is. Bare in mind you will ovulate anywhere from 7-10 days after the last pill mine though was 15 days. There is no right or wrong way to take it but some people find taking it at night helps avoid some of the side effects. Its something you really need to be sure about taking.

It has to be taken within the first five days of your cycle, my doctor said cd2 to 6 as that was what the guidlines were on his notes thing but i was on cd3 already so i took it cd3 to cd7. The theory goes the earlier on the cycle the more eggs are produced (and therefore the more chance of multiples), the later on in the cycle the less eggs but they are of better quality. No idea how this works in reality though and although it may reduced the risks of multiples i have seen twins on medication taken later (but then twins occur in natural pregnancies to so it may just be one of those things and although clomid ups your chances of twins its only by a few percent, although we seem to have had a fair few on here)

taking it earlier = more eggs but some will be too undeveloped to be fertilized (better odds of twins but possibly lower chance of conception)

taking it later = fewer eggs but better developed (better odds of pg with a singleton but twins are still possible)
