Call me crazy

[4BlueLooking4Pink]

But I'm thinking about doing basically no swaying. Sometimes I think the more I try the less effective I'll be because I obsess/worry too much about it. And honestly, I just want to be pg. I'm one that can and will be truly happy with another boy (although a girl would certainly be great and I really really want one!) but I figure girl or boy, I can't lose. God will give me what I should have and I'll take comfort in knowing he'd hand pick another little bundle just for me. Has anyone else felt this way? I might still use replens every 3 days up until after I ov for ph reasons and take my vitex & cranberry but that's it. So, am I crazy? Will I regret not trying more?

I've had that thought many times as well. I am also Type-A, and I feel like I am going to obsess no matter what. I wish you luck with whatever you decide to do!

For me I really want a girl so I will try as much as I can without trying to be obsessive. Yeah right. I hope the more I try the less disappointed I will be if it is a boy again this time. I think it depends on the person and there family and what works for them. Good luck!

That is as valid a swaying technique as some of the others out there! I don't think there's anything wrong with that approach at all, esp. for those of us who get all control-freaky and stressed over stuff like swaying.

Honestly, there are some days that I look at my third son and thing...what am I doing? What could be more fantastic than four little boys...what could be better than each of my sons have THREE BROTHERS to have his back his whole life and then I remember...this is just for fun to see if I can have a chance at that daughter because in the end I feel so much like you there is a spot I honestly believe missing in this family and it will be filled by whomever He sends to be with us....if we are blessed enough to have another. Best wishes to you on your family you sound like an awesome mom!

I LOVE this!!!

It's not crazy at all and it's definitely easier! Good luck!

I promise you will NEVER regret having a 4th son!!! :) Best "mistake" ever!!

[nuthinbutpink]

Not crazy. It is a peace many of us have silently wished for. Good luck to you.

I go back and fourth with this as well!! I will obsess and over analyze if i sway and it will stress me more which sways boy no??

[Flava]

I wish I can do it , not sway. But I really want a boy . It's not just that some of us are control-freaky or what but more like scared. At least Im.:nails:

Thanks for posting this, sometimes I wonder the same thing. I can't decide what would be more upsetting: if I obsess and fail or if I don't try and then regret it. I'm breastfeeding and I wonder if all the stuff I'm about to do (like dieting) is really the right thing to do for my baby. He has to come first. My cycles are still a bit irregular because of breastfeeding, so I might be on this diet for quite a while, and I don't know if I can hack it. I'm still on the fence.

You don't HAVE to go so hardcore on diet - there are actually a lot of options available for you. Check out this thread for some other diet options.
