An absolutely beautiful blue swayer on here sent me a gorgeous little girls skirt for good luck- I kept it under my bed
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Clomid
Exercise
Diet length and weight loss exercise
Vegetarian for so long and no dairy
Dh and I did everything we could
One attempt
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I already have one failed sway (ds2) which was very strong
Bd on o day
Things worth mentioning:
I am still breastfeeding
I did not get my pp af back until 14 months postpartum this time. With ds1 I got it back at 4 months pp despite ebf- I think going completely vegan and massive weight loss attributed to this

This sway failed ( again) and it absolutely tore me up when I found out we were expecting ds3.
My dh cried- I have only ever seen him cry one other time when his best friend died so it was just as devastating for him.
I put everything into this sway thinking it was my last chance and to find out boy again just broke me at first
I am 22 weeks now and can only just post this sway as I know it may help someone.
We will try again for number 4 and hopefully my daughter ( my dh is a saint!)
Any tips for our third try greatly appreciated!

Dh also took up smoking ( so so bad I know)
He has smoked now since before our last failed sway.
He also has at least one energy drink per day and started wearing briefs for our sway where he used to only wear boxers! He HATES briefs lol as they make him very uncomfortable. Poor guy he tried everything!!

So sorry your sway didn't go your way, it sounds like you put everything you could into it and I know it must seem unfair when you try so hard only for it not to work. I hope your new little man gives you great joy when he arrives and that you get your DD in the future

That is an amazing sway, I think that just goes to show how determined (and destined) your little man is and how much he is meant to be apart of your family!

Thank you for sharing your sway. You will know from already having boys how much joy you have to come.

I totally understand how this must have torn you up when you found out, especially after how hard you tried. Sending you hugs.

This little man really wants to be with you guys!
GD hurts very bad but you will get over this.

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement girls.
I am slowly coming to realise the meaning in all of this and am learning to want what I have- not what I don't have if that makes sense?
One thing I know is that this little man is already loved by us all. He was meant for us and I'm grateful to be his mummy xx

Congratulations on your little boy Kitten im sorry it didnt go the way you had hoped :heart: i dont know if this is of any help but my first pink sway worked and my second one failed despite being practically identical, its not what you did/didnt do its just how the odds fall and you did a really amazing sway. i hope your little girl joins you in the future and what a lucky little girl she will be with 3 amazing big brothers to watch out for her xx

I can imagine how devastated you must have felt... very unfair to see such a strong sway failing. On the other hand this little man will fit in just fine, and is a gift from heaven. He wanted to join your family so much, that he outstood every X chromosome that he saw;)

It is nobody‘s fault and I really hope that you can feel the joy of having 3 boys someday instead of regret. Wishing you the very best!!

Kitten, as you already know I so wanted this for you. I wish with all my heart we could have made it happen. But I do want to give you huge congratulations on your new son - he's truly meant to be. :heart:

Ditto :)
It truly is bittersweet, and won’t lie, I get pangs of hurt when I see others get their sons..buuuut #3 is such a pleasure, can’t imagine life without her. They know, these kiddies, they just know how to make you so.in.love :love:
The idea of the option of ttc for #4 certainly helps staying sane... but if we don’t get our son that way..admittedly I am not sure how I will cope.
Sooooo am already planning in’s and outs of next sway lol even though am unsure whether I should even try to sway and just let fate decide..though I know me, I NEED to plan, scheme’, to-do list, schedule etc and leaving things to chance is not my comfort zone.at.all...lol
I almost bought a 7 pack of FRER at the chemist this am because why not (crazy’ I know).
Can’t wait for you to meet your mister sweetface :) Xmas is not that far and then it’ll be soooo close !!!

You are not crazy at all! I nearly bought a pack on sale and I'm still pregnant lol I think that truly qualifies as crazy!

Seeing how you have embraced your newest little miss has helped me beyond measure to prepare and get excited to meet our little mister number 3. I have faith in everything you say and know he will change my world the day he comes ( I'm hoping for the same special birthday in Feb of someone special I know!).

I agree knowing number 4 is on the table has eased so much angst. I don't know how I would be if my dh said no more- I'm just grateful he cares enough about my dreams to give me this xx

Yes I think you being you, planning a sway will be inevitable! We are all here for you and so want you to get your dream.
Lots of love my lovely xx

Oh I know you did Atomic and you are an angel helping so many of us. I know you take it just as hard as we do when it doesn't pan out and that just shows how much you care.
I will try again although how much we will sway is yet undecided. I really don't think there is anything more we could do- maybe I just have to let go and roll the dice?
For now I'm just going to focus on this special boy and take each day as it comes. Xx

Swaying is not a dice roll though. The stuff we see and control is minuscule compared to what is under the water. Plus, there's a luck factor, if there wasn't we'd see some tribe or group out there with some wacky diet and they'd have wildly skewed gender ratios but we don't, so there has to be an upper limit on the amount we can sway. I do still urge you guys to sway somewhat because for all you know, the stuff under the water may be way more pink friendly for you the next time and you wouldn't want to be swaying blue with the stuff on top of the water, and additionally again for all we know you may have gotten to 80% and then just had the cards not fall your way. No matter what I'm here rooting for you!

I’m so sorry you didn’t hear girl this time. The effort you put in to your sway is undeniable. You ticked all the boxes. Wishing you lots of healing with your GD, I know the pain as well, it can be so consuming at times but know that your special little boy is so meant to be and he will go on to do great things.

I somehow missed this sway. I'm happy someone posted on it to bump it. I envy your perseverance and you definitely had the most incredible and strong sway. You literally did everything. Impressive. I'm so sorry you didn't get what you tried for. You have a good man, too. I hope that things have settled and that your baby boy has gotten close to your heart. Congrats on him. He was definitely meant to be. I have five boys and just did my final sway. I assume it's a boy and wish I would get surprised, but I'm not counting on it. After 5 my chances are not really there. I swayed twice before and lost both so I'm happy to see a heartbeat so far.

Good luck and I hope he brings incredible joy to your life :)

I'm still so sorry the sway didn't mean girl kittens, but am so happy to hear you working through the GD to learn to love this little one. You truly did a pitch perfect girl sway. I know how frustrating it can be, too, to do a sway for so long with not the desired end result.

I am just so happy you're still on the board with us -- and you and LMSM's friendship warms my heart, haha ♡
