:awe:. Hi ladies. I am new to all this. Never been in a forum before! I'm 38 with 2 fab boys and am ttc and would love to have a little girl to keep me company when daddy takes the boys footy! I'm eating lots of calcium and acidic foods and DDT 5 days away from ov&no O's! Any tips or advice please? I've been ttc for 5 month but think I'm DDT too far away I have a 26 day cycle. Thank you x

We do not advise "lots of calcium" for a girl sway. Too much calcium is a big reason people end up with a boy.

I would check out our Gender Swaying forum!

Thank you I will check it out. Glad I asked! :)

Welcome! Read up on the LE diet, it's quite different from traditional swaying pink diets, which your seem to be following. We do things quite differently here. Diet is the biggest and most important sway factor. Exercise (ideally 60+ min uninterrupted cardio exercise daily) is another strong sway factor. Third in the holy triad of swaying is just BD one time as soon as you get a positive OPK (1-2 days before O to optimize conception chances), or BDing every 4 days (such as CD6, CD10, CD14, CD16 etc). Timing does NOT sway, but rather how many attempts you have in your fertile period (the 3 days before O + O day itself). One attempt sways pink, multiple attempts sway blue.

There are other things you can add and DH can do, but they are minor compared to the triad above. Diet especially.

If you've been doing a cut off that may well explain why you haven't gotten pregnant yet, so I'd switch to one attempt at positive OPK if OPKs work for you - which they should if your cycles are regular.

Hi and welcome!

We don't always do things "The Old-School Way" with the calcium and acid stuff because newer research indicates that it doesn't work and some of it may even sway blue. Come join us in the TTC a girl forums and we can talk about why those things don't work for people.

DTD 5 days away from ovulation doesn't sway (timing has been totally debunked) and as you're finding out, is very very low odds of conception. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/7691-trouble-timing.html NO one should go on month after month getting BFN - our goal here is to get everyone pregnant within a few months with the best sway possible. So we focus on the stuff that really works and drop the old outdated tactics that do nothing other than preventing conception. :)

thankyou hun, the box i have says each tablet contain 4mg which is equivalent to 52mg once extracted!! very confusing!

[maidentomother]

I would just take the max dose recommended on the box. Or you can order Nature's Aid Agnus Castus from amazon, I get mine from amazon.de but it comes from the UK through amazon marketplace. I don't trust/understand the 4/5mg pills I see locally.

[Essie b]

thankyou i will av a look x

I am a dance teacher so the cardio/physical excercise portion is no problem for me to meet. I'm skipping breakfasts and am eating a low everything diet, and am trying to keep my caloric intake low. The timing so for has been the factor I keep going back and forth on. I'm not sure if BD at positive opk or o+12 is best for my situation.

I would LOVE to hear more about the aromatherapy oils! Ions are something I haven't even considered yet.

[atomic sagebrush]

O+12 doesn't work and here is the science behind that. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-girl/35539-no-12-a.html

Timing doesn't sway and here is the case against it. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/7691-trouble-timing.html

[atomic sagebrush]

hi hun. i see u used vitex in ur sway. cud u plz advise me of the dosage plz? thankyou x

IN my signature below there is a link to the Complete Index which has most topics (including Vitex). I strongly advise you to read the vitex essay because it is not right for everyone to take and you need to be informed before you add it to your sway. :) It also has info on dosing

[Honeybug]

Thank you atomic! That solves my indecision about timing!
