Hi Atomic,
I've poured over this website for the past couple weeks sucking up all of the knowledge I can! I'm so thankful that you have put so much time into researching and then creating optimal boy & girl sway techniques (that work!) Hubby and I are going to try and sway for a girl, I just have 2 questions

1. I had a miscarriage last month and after looking at the girl sway stats I see that 75% of women who conceived the very next month after a MC had girls, I also read somewhere where you said you think later MCs are more likely to sway girl than chemicals. (The stats do not say how far the women were) I was only around 5-6 weeks, so my question is, which would be better, attempting this cycle knowing that I would only be on the diet for 2-3 weeks (but have the added sway factor of a MC) or waiting until next month (or longer) when I would be on the diet longer?

2. My 2nd question is what do you think the best attempt is for a couple (both 30 years old) hubby is taking licorice root and Benadryl, I am only taking Zyrtec, I am following the diet pretty strictly but hubby is not very strict. I am not using OPKs but I definitely could start. Do you recommend every 4 days, every 3, everyday with shallow release and/or jump and dump or none of these?

Hi and welcome Moe!

1)This is one of those crystal ball questions that I honestly do not know the answer to. I really don't have a feel for it either way and in that case, when I honestly don't know, I have to throw the question back to you - follow what your gut and heart is telling you.

2)Hubs doesn't need to do diet like you, if he makes any changes it's all gravy. :) I would recommend starting off with either one attempt at pos OPK or every 4 days. DO NOT DTD every day.

I would wait to TTC until you have at least 12w on the diet, as most pink swayers who got girls after MCs had been on the diet for a while before they got pregnant, unlike you.

I'd try at least 3 cycles of one attempt at pos OPK before adding attempts.

Good luck!
