Preseed question

[TryingFor#3]

We are swaying boy and attempted last cycle with a BFN. I have practically zero EWCM, and this is the norm for me. Last cycle I used egg whites and BSF, and I'm wondering if I should switch to Preseed for our next attempt? The problem is, we got pregnant with our DD the first attempt with Preseed, so I'm a bit nervous that is sways girl for us. Any thoughts? If I use Preseed, should I still do BSF? I'm wondering if that killed off the sperm last cycle. I've also heard of using a pinch of BS in the Preseed. Final question...when we conceived our DD, we just used the Preseed in a small amount as a lube, I didn't actually insert it with the applicators. Is it better to use the applicators? THANK YOU!!

It isn't likely to be just one thing that threw your last sway. It could be any of a number of things, or just unlucky. Remember this is a SWAY - nothing is 100% certain. Even the best of swaying methods don't always work as hoped.

I really wouldn't use egg whites - really not a great idea as far as infections, etc. Preseed is supposed to work really quite well, the woman who invented it had several boys! http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-to-conceive-a-boy/39345-woman-who-invented-preseed-has-5-sons.html (http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-to-conceive-a-boy/39345-woman-who-invented-preseed-has-5-sons.html?highlight=Woman+Preseed)

I used preseed last month as a lube and I'm TTC a boy as well. This month we switched to applicators and I can tell a big difference. I only go up to the 1 on it, but I feel like I can really tell it's getting everyone as close to my cervix as possible. If you could, I would switch. Good luck! ��

Do you put baking soda in the Preseed too to increase the ph? Good luck with your sway! We will attempt again in about 12 days! Can I ask what BD schedule you are doing for a boy? I'm confused on that one too :)

[TaytumJ]

I'm not doing baking soda. I'm a little nervous how my body would react to it, and at this point I'm more concerned about just getting pregnant. I'm sure atomic or someone can chime in with more on the baking soda as I'm not as knowledgeable about it.

I'm doing every other day, and then at +OPK getting in a few more extra tries (night of +OPK, morning and night next daat. Waiting for confirmation of +OPK or temp jump if I missed it. Otherwise we've just got in every other day this cycle.

PLEASE drop egg whites. I am 110% convinced they are causing serious infections and miscarriages and preventing pregnancy.

I would also not do the BSF. Sperm like pH in the 7's and not higher than that. High pH kills sperm.

We have had much higher rates of conception and beter results with sways since we dropped stuff like that.

WHile you can always get a boy or a girl, I do think we've had good results with Preseed. I can all but promise you that the Preseed was NOT the reason you got a girl. Some have found that the amount in the applicator is really TOO much of good thing and you may want to just use it generously as a lube.

Thank you Atomic! I will drop the egg whites and BSF and hopefully will have more luck this next round with just the preseed.

Currently pregnant on first month ttc.

Positive opk 7/20. Bsf 1.5 hours before dtd, iced his nads during wait. Then pinched bs in preseed and inserted. Then did the same again the next night without icing his nads. He drank a red Bull an hour before the firs time, and a coke the second. Good luck to you!!!!!

Dudes do not need to ice their balls. Just because heat damages sperm, does not mean that ice "cures" them They aren't like little Wolverines, when they get hot they die. Ice does nothing to help a blue sway and it's like torture for our poor DH's!!!

I can assure you ice has never touched my husband's nuts and we have 4 boys! :)

Well we technically don't NEED to do any of this stuff, but hey, didn't hurt to try. [emoji4]

Um, wow, I really can't disagree more with you. I know you're just kidding and don't mean anything by it, but trust me - doing the wrong things for swaying actually harm people all the time by disrupting their lives and fertility and making it take months/years to get pregnant. People ended up in the hospital on the "other site" from being on dangerously restrictive, high sodium sway diets too long. If you get pregnant in one month like you did, yahoo. You can look back on it as a joke and laugh. Other people go on and on swaying for years sometimes and we have to focus on the stuff that gets results because doing it all can ruin people's lives for a while and their health indefinitely (as has happened to people who ended up with chronic high blood pressure and damage to their bones and teeth from being on the unhealthy versions of the blue sways diets for years at a time).

If you want a child of a certain gender, do the things that work. Drop the things that don't, especially if they inhibit odds of conception significantly. And if it is something that is unpleasant to your husband in any way, and it doesn't work, drop it like a pair of hot nuts because what happens is they get sick of swaying and refuse to do ANY of it - and even can change their mind about TTC any more. It has happened and not only to a few people, they made their husbands so crazy that they ended up with no baby and even no marriage sometimes. :(

Agreed. One sway tactic or another may not be best for other people. You're absolutely right. I wouldn't tell people to follow my sway 100% because it's fact... I was just mentioning what we did because we did include preseed this cycle.
