Hi everyone,
I have just found out I am having a girl after having had 3 gorgeous boys.
In 2016 I swayed for a girl here, but alas it was not to be and my third son was conceived.
I had started off swaying hard, exercise, diet, one attempt. 10 months of no success later, the sway had all but vanished due to my impatience. I had dropped the exercise after an ankle injury, diet had slowly crept back to more or less my usual diet, and the one attempt had gone from e4days, to e3days to a few attempts at positive ovulation test. Finally conceived a baby!
However, as you would expect, my ds3 is an absolute dream. He is the most amazing little boy! Hilarious, gorgeous and so clever! So i regret nothing about that sway.
Fast forward to 2019, my husband and I were discussing the possibility of trying again. I was just starting to read up some of the wonderful info on this website again to refresh my memory on the swaying process.
One late period later, I discovered I was pregnant!! I was very shocked and angry at myself, as I had been comforted with the idea of only having another baby if I had fully swayed so I could have no regrets.
In the month i conceived, I had not been taking great care of myself, wine in the evening, easy convenience foods, lots of colds and bugs, not sleeping well due to ds3 etc
I could only remember one possible attempt where I was sure I had ovulated a few days previously (ovulation pains no test taken) so felt confident I was no longer fertile. I still got up immediately afterwards and went to the bathroom just in case.
Anyway, I assumed ds4 was inevitable!!Apparently I was wrong, we have had 3 seperate scans (Paranoid haha!) All have said I am indeed carrying a girl this time!
We are obviously over the moon and feel very lucky that our baby appears to be healthy also.
So, to anybody out there who is currently swaying, it CAN happen! Even accidentally like this.
Possible sway factors for me :
Not great maternal conditions
One attempt (only baby to successfully have been conceived like this for me)
This baby was conceived in May, whereas my sons were conceived in December x2 and October. (No idea if this makes any difference)
Thank you for everybodys help and advice over the years, especially Atomic (you are just fabulous!) xxx
