Things that make me feel great about my sway:
One attempt (in 3mths we DTD twice - at our 2 attempt cycles).
Few months (not weeks) on diet best as I could. SUCH a change in protein and fat intake for me.
Femara added.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I ended up adding back in saturated fat to aid ovulation, worried my body saw that as improved condition.
I did snack because got too low otherwise. Really relied on metformin here. There were supps I cut back as much as possible but couldn't manage my mood without.
Things worth mentioning:
With DS3 I had a failed sway but I did not sway that hard with him and didn't fully surrender to the elements of GD. This time I did and let go of alot of my habits and beliefs about healthy living. I weaned off lots of supplements I'd taken for years. I also switched from natural toiletries and make up to main****** chemical ones. Something I hadn't done in 15yrs! I think alot of my healthy living was boy mum obsessiveness and I found it quite liberating to let that go and just forget about what was in my bodywash.

BMI was 20 or slightly under, sorry forgot to add that.

huge congrats and tons of pink dust headed your way!

Fingers crossed for you x

[Kiwimaz]

huge congrats and tons of pink dust headed your way!Hey Atomic, my dating scan seems to support my O date on my FF chart which places our attempt at 0-3. Ignoring odds of conception since I'm already pregnant, is 0-3 as good as 0-1 for pink? Timing is still irrelevant?

[rahaye_raha]

Did you use OPK as well?

[Kiwimaz]

Yes. The day we dtd it was 'almost' positive but I was worried I would miss the window as my ewcm looked like at O. Was proper positive for 3 days and FF put O on the 3rd day. The 1st day of positive was when I had my follicle scan and they were 21 and 20mm in the morning.

Thanks for your reply. I hope this time you get your girl!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Timing doesn't sway anyway, even if it is an O-3 attempt.

[Kiwimaz]

I did my NIPT yesterday so watch this space!
Baby was looking 'big' so maybe we were 0-1 after all. Who really knows [emoji2368]

�� fingers crossed!

[rahaye_raha]

How many days of abstaining had your husband for the attempt?


And do you remember how many attempts you had for your third boy and how many hours after your positive OPK?

[Drunken Cockatoo]

I am keeping my fingers crossed too. I really hope that you will get your girl!!

[rahaye_raha]

Have you swayed for any of your boys drunken cockatto?

[Kiwimaz]

I dont remember the abstinence with this baby, it may have been up to a week but I dont know if he was sorting himself out lol. He gets really grumpy without regular release so I just let him do what he wanted after our first month.

Boy #3 we did e4d and they were 0-2, 0-6, and 0-9 with the last attempt being at my darkest OPK. We BD at night 0-2 and I believe I Ov'd in the afternoon on O day. We werent having protected sex around that though in the weeks prior and I wasn't counting protein and fat grams.

Thanks for replying. I will try for a boy this december. So i am gathering information.

[Kiwimaz]

I dont think the timing matters, just the frequency with regular sex in general swaying blue.

By the way how long was your cycle then and what cd did your opk come out positive?

How many hours did your OPKs use to stay positive?

Just saw your post and thought I’d comment. I have two boys. My digital OPK stays positive for about 48-72 hours. Both conceived with one attempt the day of first positive OPK around CD17 (30-31 day cycle).

With #3 I ov'd on CD15 so I was (uncharacteristically regular that cycle but had had anov cycle before and mc the one before that. I didnt keep testing after the darkest one when we BD.
#4 I had 1 almost positive followed by 3 days of positive but I was on Femara. Ov'd day 27-29.

So kind of you!
Thank you so much for replying. Do you remember how long was abstinence of your husband for both?

I feel very nervous seeing all these questions about how long to abstain for blue. I really strongly urge you guys to have 3-5 attempts in that fertile window and NOT aim at a set number of hours before one attempt. I know they tell you guys to do that on some sway sites but most of us with all boys got our boys having 2-5 attempts in the fertile window. :)

How do you know when you have anov cycle?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are many ways an anov cycle manifests. Rarely, it's exactly like a normal cycle but you just don't ovulate. But this is probably about 1% if that even. Usually, it would be very short (less than 21 days) or very long (more than 35 days, and often even more than 42), and then the period that comes with a short cycle is typically quite light, and the longer cycles may be unusually heavy OR very light and may not follow the pattern of your normal period. It may just be a couple weeks of intermittent spotting!

MOST of the time, though, with a longer than normal cycle you will STILL ovulate and get a normal period. A long cycle does not an anovulatory cycle make, especially when swaying.

[Kiwimaz]

Yep I agree, I temp so I knew my cycle was anov but it was also short (18 days).

And def no abstaining here with the 3 boys I had. Just regular BD unless you count e4d as abstinence but I wouldn't. I was swaying PINK with DS3.

I'd say what got me boys was high fat high protein diet, regular sex in general, weights, PCOS and lots of supplements!

Dear rahaye. No I didn't know what swaying was back then. But it was a classic boy sway without knowing. Gaining some pounds, many supplements, healthy but also high caloric diet, snacking all the time, no exercise, PCO tendencies, 3 attempts in fertile window :)

[Kiwimaz]

Update - NIPT says IT'S A GIRL :cheerteam:

[EnglishDame]

That is so amazing! I’ve checked your sway a couple of times recently to see if you had updated with your result, such great news!

[atomic sagebrush]

Hugest congrats!! I am so over the moon for you!!!!
