How many months?

[cagirl1214]

I was wondering for people who have swayed for a girl and are pregnant, how many months of trying it took for you to get pregnant. I am on month 4 of no luck which I know really isn't that long, I have just always gotten pregnant within the first month or 2 of trying (I have 2 boys and always just tried when I got a + ov and the next 2 days) and so it feels like I'm doing something that's making me not able to get pregnant. I have done the benadryl, aspartame drinks, Rephresh/sylk, and use a few supplements and we have been doing FR with a 2-3 day cut off. Some people tell me they think I am too thin to get pregnant because I lost so much when I was BF last year but I am 5'9" and 130ish and I get positive ov tests every month and a period that is extremely regular so I don't think that's it.

Does it typically take people a long time to get preg. on a girl sway? I have already stopped using benadryl and we have not been as strict on the FR but I wonder if I should cut more things out to increase my chances.

Both my boys were oopsies, but it took 5 cycles to get a BFP when swaying girl. Unfortunately, that BFP ended in a miscarriage at nearly 7 weeks. My best friend was swaying girl with me too and it took her 7 months to get a BFP. Her pregnancy also ended in a miscarriage at 12 weeks. 5 months later she got another BFP, but that ended in an early miscarriage as well at 5 weeks. She's been trying since November 2013 and still has no baby and is not pregnant. We are both 33 and have 2 boys each, who were all conceived easily. Sorry to be the Debbie Downers. :(

I swayed for a girl and it took 8 months and 9 cycles to get my BFP. DS1 was a OHW, and DS2 took 3 months- I conceived the second month after a miscarriage with him.

Hang in there! FX and GL!!!

I swayed girl and have a DD now 6 weeks old. It took me four cycles to conceive her and 8 mths on the LE diet ( I had to take a few cycles off as DH was sick). Both boys were conceived first try. I have to say I have seen a lot of successfull girl sways fall pregnant first time and others it took a while ( the longest in my due date group was 8 months). Try not to worry ( easier said than done). Drop all background noise like rephresh, sylk ( unless you need it) and stick to one attempt, LE diet and excersize. Just remember it can take couples not swaying 6 months to fall pregnant.Good luck!!! Xxx

I know it can take a long time I am just so used to not having to spend time trying at all so it makes me feel like we are doing something to cause it or maybe my cutoff is too long before O or something. :P So frustrating :(

I'd drop all the jellies, antihistamine, fR, and the cut off. I'm not doing any of that and I'm only on second month TTC. Just do 1 attempt at OPK. That has much better odds of conception and still great chances of pink. Remember you have to get pregnant to get your girl! What else are you doing? What other supplements are you taking?

[cagirl1214]

I am taking vitex, saw palmetto and baby aspirin and my husband takes cranberry. I already dropped the antihistamines, and was just considering dropping the rephresh also, and just trying to ease up on the specific positions and all that that makes trying not fun at all. :P My friend who has 3 girls and a boy has gotten preg with each of her kids using only timing (not to say it's 100% not coincidence, but who knows) and swears by trying up until the OPK shows positive, but not trying on the day it is positive so that's where I've been cutting it off. So basically we try when it gets closer to showing positive and stop when it does.

It took us 2 cycles (although they were long cycles so 3.5 months). It took much longer for my boys so I'm still surprised it happened!

I would recommend changing to one attempt at OPK+ as that has really good results. It also gives more chance of conceiving being closer to O.

I would drop the cut off, I think you're too far off O. Have one attempt at O, that's what I'm planning on doing anyway. I also get pregnant really quickly, but with my youngest i tried shettles with the cut off of about 3 days and it just wasn't happening.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Agree with these ladies. Dump the cutoff. Also when you say you try up to... Be cautious how often you dtd bc you could wind up o-ing early and have more than one attempt in your window. That's where the every 4 days is nice.

Thanks everyone. I was thinking the same thing but then my friend was making me think that was just flat out trying for a boy :P

If you're still using FR, RepH/Sylk, and a 2-3 day cutoff, you have not yet begun to fight.

ALL those things need to go. You don't need to drop them all at once but over the next couple months.

TIMING DOES NOT WORK. Yes, that was all caps haha. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/7691-trouble-timing.html

Okay so I posted this because on day 28 of my cycle I had some mild pink spotting which I always get right before my period so I honestly kinda threw in the towel, but today is day 30 and it never came so I took a test today and maybe it's my imagination but I swear I see a 2nd line. I'm going to retest obviously but... I didn't even see the line until I changed lighting and happened to look again before I threw it away. It shows a little better in person but I'm still not sure if it's possibly an evap line (I don't usually see those with these tests but who knows) so I will retest. The longest my cycle has been is 29 days in the past. :P

[atomic sagebrush]

I thought I saw a second line before I even knew it was a preg test (thought is was opk) Congrats!!!

[XXforhubby]

Yep! I totally see a second line!! Congrats!!!

Thanks I'm glad it's not just me :D I will definitely test again in the AM, it's such a roller coaster. :P
