Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I didn't find the LE diet hard and almost never cheated on meat (didn't need it)
I was on top (I don't know if that's a good thing but looking at gravity it might?)
This is the same month one year later (only a few days after) we conceived our daughter last year - I'm due 2 days later than last year, so hoping this month brings us a girl again
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
That I exercised 3 instead of 4 times the week of conception and the week before that.
That I had a big O - for all my other attempts I made sure not to have an orgasm.
The week after conception we were on holiday in NY and I ate breakfast everyday there.
Things worth mentioning:
This was the first real cycle after a mc in October (so had AF in time after mc)

I dont' know how to update it but blood test confirmed yesterday that we will be having a boy :(
I'm very disappointed, especially since I thought my sway was really good and we conceived a girl last year without swaying...I hope we can ever get our girl

Oh sigrid, I'm so, so sorry. You absolutely can get a girl and I hope you do in the future. It's totally normal and OK to feel disappointed and we're all here for you in the meantime.

Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and baby ♡

I'm sorry your sway hadn't gone the way you were hoping. Many of us understand the kind of feeling you're going through. This little boy must really have wanted to be your son. And maybe one day he'll be a protective big brother to a little girl for you.

I am so sorry to read this, am currently pregnant with my gender swaying opposite. I swayed hard for a girl and like you because I conceived a girl previously I absolutely convinced myself it would work. I had to believe in the process strongly as it's the only way I could manage to do the diet and exercise. But I think it lead to deeper gender disappointment when I discovered he was a boy. Give yourself time and do not expect anything to change too quickly. I was upset after my 20 week scan because I was holding out a hope that the harmony test was wrong but seeing he was so obviously a boy meant I had to deal with it. My dh who has been very supportive, was upset after the 20 week scan because he expected that I would just fall in love with the baby when I saw him and he was devastated when it did not happen. For my part I thought I coped with it better than I imagined. I feel things changed for me gradually, and are still changing. I feel excited at times about his arrival, other times am terrified at how I will manage four children.

I think if trying again is your last shot I would seriously consider ht, I think because swaying is only nudging things in a particular direction the risks of having an opposite are too great. Because this was my last shot I think it intensified the level of gd. There are many of us that have had swaying opposites so lots of people to support you on this site. Hope you have a healthy rest of pregnancy and congrats your baby boy x
