What are you doing for your sway this cycle??

[Lissastick]

Hey everyone!
We're on cycle #2 of TTC. Last cycle my sway was WEAK and resulted in a BFN. I have only been doing the L.E. diet for about 3 weeks (but I am a veggie), so, I'm not sure that will have a big influence on our girl sway this month due to not being on the L.E. diet long enough.

Here's what I am doing for our relaxed sway:

-L.E. diet / Vegetarian
-No pre-natals, just folate and D3 (because I am a bit D deficient)
-Coffee daily
-Wine a few times a week
-One attempt at day before positive OPK
-Jump and dump (after 10 minutes)

My OPK is very nearly positive today on CD 12. I usually ovulate on CD 13, so we just DTD tonight as our one attempt! Feeling pretty good about my fairly relaxed sway.
I have made peace with getting another little boy. My son was asking for a sister, now he is asking for a brother. Haha! Made me realize that I would love for him to have either because I think he would be happy with either ;-)

Thoughts anyone? What's your sway looking like this cycle?

[ABC.2606]

Sounds like a good sway! I haven't started yet... not planning to start swaying until Aug or Sept but am starting the planning process... For now, I'm going to start cutting back on meat (will be vegetarian for my sway) & learn to skip breakfast, and for my sway, LE PCOS diet, alcohol and coffee daily, one attempt, no prenatal. Also I don't really believe in the whole ion theory but since I like lavender anyways I'm going to start switching to lavender products (soap, conditioner, essential oils) and am going to try out a salt lamp (I have allergies so anything that is air purifying is good for me anyways!). I think both can help in relaxation, and as a high stress/ high anxiety person, I need good relaxing techniques :)

Do you have the one boy currently? I have two little boys - and I will say, as desperately as I want a daughter (I had gender disappointment with both pregnancies), I LOVE watching my two boys together. They get along so well so far (they're only 1 and 3 so I know it's still early), and they seriously adore each other. The dynamic of two brothers is just something really special I think! My older one is already very protective of his little bro :) I HOPE you get your girl, but IF you end up with another boy just know you'll love watching them together! I think being able to give a little boy a brother is a very special gift!!

[Beau82]

I agree that it sounds like a great sway! Personally, I really think that the relaxed sways are more successful. I'm doing a similar sway except for no vit D and I'm not vegetarian.
Good luck! I hope you get your BFP! Totally agree with ABC too, watching 2 little boys grow up together is something special indeed ❤

[Lissastick]

You ladies are seriously giving me a lot of comfort! I have been slightly nervous about experiencing gender disappointment, but, the more I think about it, the more I tell myself that the Universe probably knows what is best. I could see myself being a boy mom. That doesn't change the fact that I see myself with a daughter and would feel so privileged and over the moon. But, I am feeling pretty good about my sway. If it doesn't result in a pregnancy this time, I think we will try the every 4 days next time and I will try to commit to the exercising an hour every day! Haha! I'm so lazy, I wonder how that is going to work out! Lol

[ABC.2606]

Yea, it's a tough thing I think. Being a boy mom is fun - I adore my boys, and if we have a 3rd boy I know I will adore him too. My 1 year old is really developing his own personality now and I'm constantly thinking these days how thankful I am that I DIDN'T have a girl the 2nd time around because then I wouldn't have him. He is seriously the funniest, goofiest little guy. Today he actually leaned over and kissed his brother on the cheek! But having and loving my boys just can't erase my desire to have a daughter - they're just two separate things. I'll love a 3rd boy if that's what happens, but I don't know how I will ever really move on from that desire to have a girl. It's tough :)

[Lissastick]

I feel the same! I'll always want a daughter...mostly because of the dreams my husband and I have had about her. I believe that she is meant to be in our family...

[atomic sagebrush]

bump girls!

[May333]

Hi, My attempt will be in August, I started my diet today [emoji849] mainly vegetarian, no breakfast and trying to do the LE thing... a couple weeks ago I started taking aspirin, Zyrtec and folic acid.
I have been drinking about 32 oz of crystal light a day [emoji37]
Vitex from AF to O
Got some OPK's to figure out my ovulation day and also got replenish. I'm 38 so I'm trying to figure out the timing, I don't think I will get pregnant with one attempt. I'm 108 lbs and I workout 5 days a week, I do body pump twice a week and I might go down to one day [emoji26] and cardio and interval training the other 4. My husband has lost weight too but at this point I'm not planning on changing his diet (he won't do it) i can totally convince him to drink more alcohol and he also chews tobacco.

I'm so nervous! [emoji37][emoji33]

I think being super relaxed will help get your girl! Good luck!

[Lissastick]

It's really hard for me to relax. I am the most impatient person ever. And I am such an "all or nothing" type person. This sway attempt that I posted here failed. I'm on 10dpo and have had two BFNs so far. I really just want to be pregnant. I am going to keep doing everything as best as I can to sway girl, but, I can't stick to one attempt. I think I will do every 4 days and then another attempt at +OPK.
I just don't think I will get pregnant fast enough with just one attempt.

I'm trying to figure out if I should have my husband do FR or compressed release along with my two attempts??

Advice anyone?

[carmella_marie]

for my girl we did one attempt at +OPK with a compressed FR. we found that straight up FR was just too stressful.

[squigglepink]

Ok wait.. what is compressed release again?

[sohappy]

hi thanks all of u. its helping me a lot to sway for my girl. i have two boys and me n my dh want so badly a girl possible twin girls lol, am a dreamer! i have a question ladies, can u tell me what FR means

[familymatters]

I've been back on the LE diet for 2 weeks now after my miscarriage of twins in May. I have to say, it's been very easy to slide right back into it and has been a lot less stressful because I know it inside-out now. I'm not tracking anything officially on myfitnesspal etc I'm just making sure I choose low fat low protein options. I've gone vegetarian and I've also introduced exercise. I try to do something almost every day. Whether that's a walk, run, group fitness session or a spin on my exercise bike. It's hard finding an hour to yourself when you have 3 kids but I'm managing so far. Our attempt won't be til Sept/Oct, depending when my fertility returns after my depo injections wears off. A stupid, hasty decision I made straight after my miscarriage. Oh well it is what it is.

I did NOT continue the diet during the TWW. Not consistently, anyway. But, I am a vegetarian, always, so in that way I did. I was eating a lot of NACHOS! lol!

Ok wait.. what is compressed release again?

2-3 releases a day for 2-3 days before day of attempt and the actual attempt needs to be second attempt that day, separated by 10/12 hours or more (so once in AM and then actual attempt that night. Don't tack this onto a FR or abstain and don't tack hurry up FR onto this.

Man I am having a lot of frequency qu's this last week. Just to remind everyone, I do not even think frequency sways any more. We started off assuming it did, but it turned out that it was actually number of releases. None of the frequency patterns have seemed to earn their keep.

Ladies, don't test before 12 DPO. I really think you do nothing but cause yourself heartache - either with chemicals or more often, negative tests because you've tested too soon and think you're out when you're not.

regardless of the breathless claims made by pregnancy test manufacturers, NO pregnancy test is truly reliable before a missed period. 12 DPO is the earliest that most people will reliably get a negative or positive.

I am going to have to agree with you. I think I am having a chemical pregnancy...but I only tested positive on 12 DPO. So, even if I had waited, I'd still be heartbroken, as I am pretty sure I am losing the baby :(

[atomic sagebrush]

Oh no Lissa I'm so sorry - how can I help.

[Lissastick]

I don't think there is anything that can be done. My period hasn't come yet (is three days late) but my tests are basically negative right now.

I had a really good feeling about this sway, too. I just felt like it was our girl, and now she's leaving me. I'm devastated.

[Lissastick]

Actually, atomic...what would you recommend for a girl sway after a chemical pg? Anything different? Am I going to be more fertile after this? Would that sway a boy? I haven't been following the L.E. diet since I found out I was pregnant. And I started taking prenatals again. Eating a lot more, etc. Should I even try again right away? All my FB group friends say that I should...

[atomic sagebrush]

The old saw about being more fertile after a loss has never really been proven, and anyway it's not the type of fertility that sways blue. It may (possibly, maybe, never proven) may make you more likely to release a good egg, but it's the type of thing that makes it easier for sperm to meet egg that sways. That may be worse after a chemical, not better.

Whether to try or not is at your discretion. You were only off diet a few days and since AF has not come yet, there is still time to regroup and move on from here.

[Lissastick]

Here's my new Sway Plan for our upcoming TTC cycle #3

- Relaxed L.E. Diet (Vegetarian 100%, skipping breakfast, intermittent fasting a couple days out of the week - but still snacking a bit and cheating a bit)
- Fiber
- No prenatals, BUT daily supplementation with Folate, Vitamin D, and Iron because I'm slightly deficient in both D and Iron. Also taking fish oil again - I did this with my son, so I may be taking a big risk!
- Instant coffee daily
- Wine a few times a week
- One attempt at first sign of EWCM (which is usually a few days before O) and another SECOND attempt at positive OPK - but I haven't decided for sure if we will do one or two attempts
- Jump and dump after 10 minutes

My husband is not really pushed on swaying, even though I know he wants a girl! But, he equally wants a boy and is more easy going. He takes supplements, multi vitamins and does not drink or smoke or do anything remotely unhealthy. He's a bit of a health nut. BUT, he is wearing tight underwear and putting his laptop on his balls! Hahah! So, that may lower his sperm count a bit??

I am going to be even more relaxed about this sway than before in some ways because I too just want a baby and would be thrilled with another boy. But still dream of a girl and will do what I think may work to get one. Still depressed about my chemical pregnancy last cycle because I had a feeling it was our girl! Oh well...

What is everyone else planning!??! I am always open for tweaks and suggestions too :)

[Beau82]

Well I'm lightly doing the PCOS diet and trying to cut way back on carbs as I feel they are problematic for me. I'm trying to go vegetarian but it's hard for me! We have cut way back on red meat though. No breakfast (just coffee with flavoured creamer-soybean oil!), and no snacking. Lots of veggies. We planted a garden this year and we already have loads of romaine lettuce, spinach and kale so salads are a daily staple!
I'm taking fiber when I remember which is about 3-4 times/week.
6 metric cups of coffee/day
Glass of wine every day
45-60 minutes on the stationary bike 4-5 days/week
Switched from butter to margarine but now that I've cut out bread, I don't really eat much margarine.
Trying to stay away from sugar but I'm no pro.
Will do 1 attempt at posted OPK if they work for me. Still not sure how that part will work.

[atomic sagebrush]

Would you consider dropping fish oil, D, and iron to 3x a week?? your body may see this as a decline in nutrients but you'd still be giving yourself that regular intake.

[Lissastick]

Would you consider dropping fish oil, D, and iron to 3x a week?? your body may see this as a decline in nutrients but you'd still be giving yourself that regular intake.

I could do that with the fish oil and the iron, but I don't think I should do that with the D! I had bloodwork done just a couple of months ago that showed I was *severely* vitamin D deficient! I am pretty sure if I remain deficient, it will screw up my hormones and make it harder for me to conceive. I have to keep taking that every day, but the others can just be a couple times a week :)

[atomic sagebrush]

If you're severely deficient then yes please take it for at least 6 weeks daily before reducing.

Vit. D is an interesting supplement because it's fat soluble and your body is pretty good at storing it when it gets a chance. So you may actually be out of the woods already and can still reduce the dose of it if you so chose. You of course don't have to, but I do think it may help your sway to cut back to 3x a week.

I would also recommend getting 10 min. of sunshine on bare arms a day as some of us are just not great at absorbing it via supps and may need the boost from the sunlight.

[Lissastick]

I have actually been getting more sunlight! Yes!
I am still feeling symptoms of deficiency, so, I assume that I am still deficient ;)

[atomic sagebrush]

Symptoms can be very vague and amorphous and the only way to know if you're still deficient is with a blood test.

[Lissastick]

I feel like my sway is almost completely screwed up this cycle because of my chemical pregnancy last month.
I was expecting to ovulate on time as usual - didn't. Then I was expecting to ovulate on the cycle day that I usually do. Didn't. So, we had one attempt about 3 days ago, but, if I am just ovulating late, then that one attempt wouldn't have been in the fertile window. I have nearly EWCM today, so, we are going to make another attempt, but I am afraid this guessing at when ovu is near is making a boy frequency. And my husband has not been releasing inbetween our attempts at all!

I suspect that if I do ovulate this cycle and actually get pregnant, I will get another little dude. I am just not confident in my diet and other minor tactics that I am doing to sway.

This is such a bummer. Especially since I have a strong feeling that my sway worked last time, but, she's gone. I feel like crying.

[familymatters]

Have you had a positive opk? Just because you nearly have EWCM doesn't mean you are necessarily about to O. If it was me i would wait one more day before dtd again. But obviously you know your body better than I do. You have every chance in the world of conceiving a girl this cycle, try not to think about what may have been with the last cycle because that's pointless. Best of luck hun

My OPK is getting darker! Finally! It looks like it's going to be positive tomorrow. And I always only get EWCM before ovulation. Never had it afterwards or any other point in my cycle. It's kind of odd, maybe...

I am trying not to think about what happened last cycle - but we did one attempt the day BEFORE my OPK turned positive and I got pregnant! I think we should give it one more go and cross my fingers and hope for the best!

[atomic sagebrush]

I think you're still in it to win it. Did you have another attempt??

Remember, your hub's release pattern has not seemed very (or at all even) effective.

[Lissastick]

Yep. We had another attempt at positive OPK that next day. The other attempt was like 3 days before that.

Not sure what you meant by hubs release pattern not being effective?? Lol

[atomic sagebrush]

None of the frequency patterns have been effective sway tactics so I would not worry if your husband did not do one or the other - none of them are effective.

Oh, duh. Of course! Sorry! Haha. Tired toddler mom brain :P

[Lissastick]

So here I am planning my sway for the next cycle before my TWW is over! Tee hee. My impatience must be a little bit annoying, right atomic? ;)

I am going to change a few things...

1. Basically dropping the L.E. diet. Even though it's the most important thing, it seems. The only things I am sticking to is skipping breakfast and staying a vegetarian.
2. Taking only folate daily and taking coQ10, vit D and prenatals 3xs per week.
3. Dropping coffee and alcohol and switching to decaf green tea.
4. TWO attempts. One at EWCM, which is typically 3 days before OVU and another attempt at positive OPK.
5. Jump and dump.
6. Exercise (cardio) 5 days per week, but not for an hour. More like 30 minutes or less. Haha!

I am WIDE open to suggestions and comments! And I'd love to hear what everyone else is doing too, as always!

[XXforhubby]

3. I would switch to decaf coffee over decaf green tea. There are loads of nutrients in even decaf green tea that sway blue.

6. I would do 4-5 days a week of 60 min of cardio over 30min. That amount of moderate exercise sways blue. Remember, it doesn't have to be super intense. You can walk casually or briskly. You don't have to jog or run.

FX and GL to you!!

[XXforhubby]

I agree. There's something about the nutrients in breakfast cereal that sway strongly blue. I know I ate loads with DS1 and DS2, but I knew nothing about swaying then.

New plan!

1. L.E. Diet (Strict about skipping breakfast and being vegetarian)
2. Exercise 1 hour per day 5 days per week
3. No prenatals, only folate daily and CoQ10 three times per week
4. One to two cups of coffee daily
5. TWO attempts: 1st attempt at first sign of EWCM and second attempt day before positive OPK
6. Jump and dump

And POSSIBLY taking Wild Yam or Maca Root....need to do more research.

I'm not drinking wine every day anymore because I fear that is reducing my egg quality. I am also dropping my vit D supplement. Also really wanting to do 2 attempts instead of one.

Skipping breakfast and going vegetarian is a fine compromise.

no decaf green tea, may sway blue.

EWCM is not a reliable judge of when O is coming. I know you have a pattern and it's of course up to you if you want to try that, it is just not reliable. I had EWCM for 8 days this cycle!!

I am concerned with that type of diet + mod exercise. I'm not sure you'd not be better off doing nothing. But that's one of those crystal ball things I just don't know.

excellent!!! The diet and exercise are like a tag team, so if you struggle with one, stepping it up on the other is always a good idea.

What I don't want to see anybody doing is not doing diet and then adding mod. exercise. That may really sway strongly blue more than doing nothing!

[Lissastick]

I really want to do more than one attempt this cycle. I can't explain why...other than the fact that my husband is INSISTING!

What are the numbers that you've seen that takes you straight into boy territory? Is it 2 attempts is still safe, but 3 is not??

Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

[familymatters]

I don't know the stats but one attempt is more successful than 2. I guess it depends on how much you want to try and sway for a girl vs. how quickly you'd like to get pregnant.

I'm still nursing my 15-month old and my cycles havent returned yet. I'm just now starting my sway with plans to make a first attempt in October/November. I bought a plan and will have it soon (no time to research the way I did with ds now that he's here lol).

In the meantime I have my (couple months late) annual exam and I plan to ask my midwife about taking vitex while breastfeeding to hopefully get my cycles back. I took it when I was ttc ds because my cycles are irregular . I'm a vitex pro lol.

I'm also planning on starting the transition of my son to his own room. We bedshare and he nurses frequently overnight, so I'm thinking once he is in his own space, my cycles might return.

Who knows?

So for now I'm working on skipping breakfast, making the transition from my compulsive tea habit to having coffee instead, and cutting down on fat and protein.

This made me tear up... exactly how I feel. I'm totally 100% cool with having another boy and it would be amazing watching two sons grow up. But my husband and I have talked about our kids for years and a daughter was always part of the vision we had of our family. If we have another son, that's amazing... but I'll never be able to let go of the desire for a daughter. They're just two different things.

[kc15880]

Waiting this week for a positive OPK so we can have our first attempt.

So this is my pink sway so far:

1) LE vegetarian diet eating twice a day (lunch & dinner only) for the past 26 weeks.
2) Still breastfeeding DS2 3 times a day, & weaned DS1 8 weeks ago
3) Drinking coke zero once a day
4) No alcohol, had probably 4 coffees in the past 6 months & stopped drinking tea (only ever had it once a week at playgroup) 6 weeks ago.
5) So far I have lost 11kg in the past 26weeks, but I am 16kg lighter than my conception weight with both boys.
6) I returned to work at the beginning of my sway & I have the boss from hell. I feel that I have lost a lot of the "fight & energy" that I once had. She makes me anxious & nervous as she is very unpredictable & everyone has to tiptoe around her. Apparently this type of stress sways pink.
7) I have tried to reduce my stress levels at home with the kids - not sure that I have but who knows!
8) Avoiding "O" - this has been hard! Embarrassed to say it but I used to "O" frequently on my own a few times a week :wink:
9) Folic acid supplement
10) No exercise

My hubby hasnt changed his diet at all, but I have slightly tweaked it by stealth - he is only eating red meat once or twice a week, & I have reduced his portions slightly at dinner. He is also drinking coke zero, peppermint tea 3 times a day & OLE 3 times a week (the strength available in australia is huge!). He is releasing daily on his own up until our attempt at positive OPK

Our plan this week will be to have one attempt at positive OPK & hope for the best! My periods are regular but now very light & I normally ovulate around day 18. Hoping that our attempt near the new moon may also help.



All in all this is quite opposite to our boy attempts when I:
1) Was a all day & night snacker
2) Ate meat everyday - & red meat at least 4 times a week, ate a very nutritious & varied diet full of wholegrains & low GI food. Never drank alcohol or soda. rarely drank coffee or tea. Often drank vitamin fortified hot chocolate.
3) Ate cereal everyday & sometimes twice a day
4) Was at my heaviest weight before DS1 (gained weight in the 3 months before) & gained muscle before DS2
5) Was on prenatal vitamins for 9 months before DS1 & 1 month before DS2 , & hubby was on prenatals for 9months prior to DS1
6) DS1 was frequent attempts everyday up to & including positive OPK, DS2 was frequent attempts up until 5 days before positive OPK (failed shettles)
7) I was working in a management position when I fell pregnant with DS1 so very dominant in the workplace, similar working position with DS2
9) Was still breastfeeding DS1 when fell pregnant with DS2 but this clearly didnt sway pink at all for us last time!
10) conceived around the time of the full moon
11) frequent "O" on my own a few times a week, but deliberately didnt "O" at either attempt with DS1 & DS2.
12) Used to go for a walk a few times a week

So who knows how much I have swayed! I hope its enough & if its not I know I tried.

[familymatters]

Kc your sway sounds great! Such a change from when you conceived your boys.

Jsophia I was a MASSIVE tea drinker, dropping the tea and switching to coffee has been so hard. I seriously get tea cravings, I miss it a heap.

Next cycle I am not really going to actively sway at all...

Which means giving up on the L.E. diet. I'm vegetarian always because the thought of eating animal flesh makes me want to puke! Haha! But, I have given in to snacking and occasionally binge eating, like I usually do. It really seems like swaying for a girl is nearly hopeless without the L.E. diet and keeping your blood sugar low - so I'm expecting another boy next. I'm so good with that now. I've just accepted my nature and my lifestyle being a boy friendly lifestyle.

I won't change much else, though, because the other things don't bother me. I'll be adding in at least one attempt in the fertile window, though. And I understand that will push me further into the boy zone. I just want to be pregnant already! I feel that time is running out for me with my plans and the fact that I have fibroids and they could become an issue if I wait too long for pregnancy.
I will still just stick with folate and no prenatals and continue to have a bit of wine and coffee.

I think vegetarianism pushes you over into the girl territory ever so slightly...so...my slim chances with that will be something to wonder over for a while. LOL.

I'm so in awe of those boy moms that can stick with the L.E. diet and get their girls! xoxo

You always have a chance of a boy or a girl no matter what. Even if you're 80% set for boys statistically you'd have a girl 20% of the time. Most of us just don't wanna "Duggar it out" so we try to up our odds, but that does not mean that if you don't sway it is "hopeless". Just not the case.
