Hi all!
My husband and I will both be 35 in September, which is when we'd like to start TTC for our first child. I realize we have big enough hurdles with me being 35 that we probably shouldn't push our luck... but since it sounds like everything to sway blue actually HELPS fertility, I'm on board with doing a blue sway.
Above all, we hope to:
1. Get pregnant easily and naturally (fingers crossed!)
2. Deliver a healthy baby above and beyond anything else (prayers!)
3. Have a boy (would be the cherry on top!)
Has anyone else tried to sway with their 1st child?
We both want a boy. And since we both grew up with older brothers - he had 2 and I had 3, we love the idea of our first being a boy. It would take the pressure off having a boy the 2nd pregnancy when I'll be even older.
Is anyone else swaying or TTC with 1st at 35+?
I'm so paranoid we're gonna have trouble conceiving. I saw my gyno last week, he thinks I'm crazy and sees no reason why I'd have issues. He insists my body is young and perfectly healthy, that was just from my regular annual exam. I have a physical next week w my GP and I'm going to beg her to do every possible test on me. As a control freak (yeah, I'll admit it), I just hate the idea of trying for 6 months before seeing a specialist. I just wanna know NOW if we're going to have issues. Anyone else completely batty about TTC their first?
How did your H respond when you mentioned trying to sway?
My H jokes about wanting all boys but I'm not sure how he'd feel about changing habits and diet to sway. He's so optimistic (he also thinks I'm nuts for thinking I'm drying up and losing eggs everyday after 35) that I think he thinks we'll just get boys b/c we have so many men on both sides of our families.
That's all, I just wanted to introduce myself (again) since I'm going to plan to start my sway in July, about 6-8 wks before September ovulation :) And I'll probably start asking a million questions leading up to then!
