Looks like AF is going to show up today after many BFN. SO I am planning my sway for this month. I am on clomid and last cycle I was, TMI, way dry I really didn't have much hope bc of it. I figure I can't have a girl if I don't fall pregnant at all so was thinking of taking Evening primrose oil from AF to O to increase cm. Is it really that bad for girl sway to use evening primrose oil? I really want a girl!

I am also using rephresh just once when I start to get a line on my opks (I usually o 2-3 days after it as line gets darker), DH having warm bath, no breakfast.

Does this sound alright or does someone else have another idea?

I know that EPO is a boy sway thing, but if you don't have enough CM to get pregnant, then you can't conceive a girl anyway! I hope Atomic chimes in--she knows better than me! Good luck!

I know that Atomic has suggested using a little Preseed for a girl sway if you're on Clomid and really dry and not getting pregnant - the idea being that the Preseed will help the swimmers make it up into the cervix, where the cm will also be hostile so still sway girl. I'll see if I can find where she posted about this.

I used EPO for both my boy pg's. Gave me a good whack of EWCM and for me, obviously swayed boy. Preseed sounds like the better option to me.

I used a little preseed with both my girls. Definitely helps!

You are totally right, if you don't get pg you have no chance of your DG. Plus, you cannot stay on Clomid in the long term, you need to get pg as quick as you can while taking it.

I would rather you used Preseed and Robitussin to get more CM that way. This is what your doc would advise as well (and might even give you supplemental estrogen.)

EPO is not always that effective alone (without the rest of the TTC blue diet and supps backing it up), it takes time to work in some peopole, and time is not on your side with Clomid.

Thanks everyone.
Where in Australia can I get pre seed in a hurry? I will be Oing in 10 days or so, so need it ASAP.

Go online and you should be able to get it very quickly, just look up Pre-seed and Australia. If you get stuck I will get you some, I have at work. I would seriously think about asking your Doctor about supplementation of Estradiol. Clomid affects cervical mucous as well as it can thin the lining which makes implantation impossible. I always prescribe this and pre-seed.
