Things that make me feel great about my sway:
My diet was more of a lifestyle change so it had been ongoing for quite some time. Definitely feel good that we only made ONE attempt. And I certainly drank wayyy more coffee than I did with my boys.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Definitely worried that I didn’t lose any weight at all. I cheated a lot. I am a huge stress eater and I had a very hard loss in the beginning of the year. I was at my heaviest pre-pregnancy weight before this one. I didn’t exercise at all because of depression and caring for two toddlers became exhausting and I would just want to lie down. I am also nervous that we BD at positive opk. I got my sons that way. However, with them, we BD every other day up until pos opk and then at pos opk. This time it was just the once.

I’m hoping for the best but you just never know. How do you think my sway looks. I know I could have done better but it’s been a VERY hard year.

Good luck!! Thanks for sharing🤞🤞🤞 will you find out what you're having! You did well skipping breakfast that's meant to be a good tactic

[MamaK1]

Yes I will definitely be finding out. I definitely could have done better but not much I can do at this point. I will love my baby no matter the gender but so desperately want a girl.

Congrats on your bfp. The one attempt, stress levels, skipping breakfast, lots of coffee and no red meat all bode well for pink, GL.

Good luck and pink dust headed your way!

[MamaK1]

Thank you. Do you think it looks ok?

[atomic sagebrush]

I don't sound off on sways that are done deals - I can't tell anyone if their sway worked or not. I prefer to just wish you guys luck and congratulations!

[MamaK1]

Sad 😔

Oh no I'm so sorry. I have a guide to swaying after a loss here https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/29504-guide-swaying-after-miscarriage.html Do you want me to delete this (after you've accessed the link, of course) Some people like me to leave them up for future reference and as a bit of a memorial, others prefer them to be removed, I'm happy to do whatever your preference is.

[MamaK1]

You do not have to delete this. It’s ok. I just read the guide you had linked and do have a question. I found out just before my 7 week mark but babe stopped growing at 5 weeks. I passed the gestational sac on Sat January 12 and my bleeding has completely stopped. My dr. Said as long as my hcg comes back at 0, we can start trying again. There is no need to wait. My question is. How would one know when to start using opks. My bleeding has completely stopped as of last night. Do I wait for a period and start tracking after that or should I just start using opks now? Do my chances of swaying for a girl increase if I just give it a go right away or does waiting a cycle affect that? Any advice would be much appreciated.

[atomic sagebrush]

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this Mama.

Once you get a negative pregnancy test or HCG reaches zero then you can start testing with OPK.

We believe that trying right after a miscarraige (the first egg, or the first cycle after the first period) may sway a little bit pink. No guarantees of course but if your doc has given the ok I'd probably go for it if you feel good about everything otherwise.
