Ejaculation always deep missionary with my legs over his shoulders
Any relevant attempt details?
Used store bought free range, pasteurized at home by me, always ph 9.
1.Used it after bsf in IC before DTD
2. Took out IC just before DTD, checked ph and did bsf if necessary again and injected EW again
3. Then just before DH released, injected some more EW or if he didn’t want to interrupt, I quickly injected EW right after release and inserted IC ( I had smeared EW along top of IC only beforehand) right away and stayed for a bit with legs curled all the way over head lol, then sat upright making sure IC was in contact with cervix, TBM-style. Kept IC in all night and next day till late afternoon. Did this for every single attempt in the month of successful conception
-No orgasm
First month of attempt did once 12 hrs after positive opk and was unsuccessful. My period was very heavy that cycle,
-Successful cycle:BD several times since period ended on Sept 26th
-DTD unprotected on following dates: Sept 29th/Sept 30th/Oct 2nd/Oct 6th/Oct 8th/Oct 11th
-On Oct 2nd Opk line was just starting to get darker but still negative, on oct 5th opk was blank to faint. On oct 6th around mid morning had intense ovulatory activity like a pinball machine all through afternoon to evening, OPK was getting darker but still negative, BD’ed to be safe. Oct 8th, opk line finally definitely positive and stayed that way till night of 10th. Cervix started softening and moving high and centre on Oct 5th and was SHOW till evening of 11th. According to dating 10wk U/S, conception was either on 7th or 8th. In that case, first positive pregnancy test was on Oct 19th, about 11/12 dpo and very faint. With the girls, first positive was 9/10 dpo and dark line
Did you do anything with Ions?
had A/C running all day in our room, wore socks/slippers all day, wore gold earrings 24/7 for 3 months, kept rosemary oil next to me and periodically sniffed it, rubbed on temples, lower/uterus area, dotted on pillow. Live under power lines. Hadn’t painted nails in a year and a half. Followed biochart (blue line) and tried to follow moon sign but not overly since they change every couple of days, Possibly conceived on Aries/Taurus cusp or Taurus.
Moon Phase during conception?
Full Moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
under pillow had blue booties in a small blue drawstring bag and printed out baby pics of hubby with the “Ask and you shall receive” prayer written all around.
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
stats for conceiving boy after 3 girls slightly higher.
-used egg whites every time we dtd.
-diligent consumption of boy drinks
-did a lot of research and observed that nutritional yeast seemed to play a role in failed boy sways. Also observed that ladies who had many girls and then a boy without swaying happened to up their iron supplementation before conceiving their boy. I believe that iron, royal jelly, bee pollen (caution with allergies), Tribulus Terristris, Gelatin and V8 and use of egg whites with right ph are an absolute must for the very best boy sway attempt. I don’t think, for me anyways, that whole fat milk sways girl if had in moderation but absolutely stay away from yoghurt, low-fat or not). In my experience, yoghurt,almonds and grapes are number 1 girl foods.
-Before gender ultrasound, early urine ph was 6.5 or higher unless I had grapes or coke
-nausea just as bad or worse as with girls and comes back in bouts beyond 12 weeks.
-did not have nutella chocolate craving as with girls
-craved chinese food, spicy food, onions
-severe breast pain with this pregnancy and very painful nipples, uncomfortable to nurse. Nursing wasn’t painful with my DD2 when pregnant with DD3.
-headaches in early pregnancy
-skull in 10 week U/S looked completely different (kind of blocky with a flat top) from skull of DDs’ (dainty and sloping)
-First felt movements at 12 weeks, with DDs after 16 weeks.
-heartbeat at 16 week gender U/S was 154 bpm, at 20 weeks around 130-140 bpm.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
-diet not strict month of successful conception but didn’t really have a choice here as we had company but made sure I took all my supplements and did the important boy drinks.
-Dh slacking off on supplements.
-Did not keep up BSF as frequently as I would have liked.
-No cold shower/icing by DH
-Not sure if EW helped guide in right direction, paranoid that DH has more x than y sperm. Sometimes even after having IC in for a few hours, still saw sperm in there after removing.
-Might have ovulated or conceived under female moon sign.
Things worth mentioning:
-still breastfeeding but period did not start after stopping pill and introducing solids, which is unusual for me. Tried to use this to my advantage to manipulate my cycles with soy isoflavones so ovulation would coincide with full moon phase. My past conceptions were all in new moon phase. The full moon phase coincided with blue biochart. The first time on Soy Iso, had intense ovulation pains, after that every cycle signs were weaker, then I realised the strict IG diet was weakening my fertility so month of successful attempt, I started whole milk and coconut water and my ovulation signs were back and strong. I also think the l-arginine was delaying or falsifying my opk results, so when my opk line went from darker to faint, I stopped it. I would recommend stopping it closer to or before week of ovulation.
Feel blessed to live in an age where one has access to the Internet where numerous useful resources can be consulted. Thank you to Atomic for all her research as well and contribution. The frequent intercourse, however forced, as well as the introduction of full-fat milk were the last pieces of the puzzle and though it was a leap of faith and I was very nervous about it, it helped me out so much. . Hope I'm not jinxing myself by posting my sway before baby's here, real nervous as baby boys are reported to be not as tough as baby girls. Thank you to everyone gender-swaying member, whether you swayed or not, whether you had a successful sway or not, everyone's experiences were useful inputs into my sway. Hope my sway helps others as well. Keeping fingers crossed and touching wood for a healthy pregnancy, smooth delivery and healthy, normal baby boy.
