Short time frame- pink sway

[Ashley1234]

Hi ladies!
I'm Ashley and I'm new here! I'm a mom of 3 wonderful boys. We thought we were done. I was/am a very happy boy-mom...honestly, no gender disappointment. But now we have decided to try for #4, and we would both really like a girl. I think my feelings have changed because my mom has stage 4 cancer, and I don't know how much more time we have with her. The thought of losing that special mother/daughter relationship has just broken my heart, and created a longing to have a daughter of my own.

My DH wants to start trying this month, and so do I. I don't want to postpone. My youngest is 2.5 and I don't want the age gap to grow more. Also, if I do get pregnant, I want my mom to meet this baby. So anyway, what are some quick things I could do?? I don't have 3 months to commit to a diet. My period started today actually. So I have a week! Is there anything I can do in that short time frame to sway my odds to a girl?

Thank you!!!

The most important thing you can do in the here and now is have one attempt in the fertile window.

How old is your husband?

I would definitely at least consider starting diet and exercise in case you don't get pregnant right away.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom :heart:

Thank you so much for your reply!
My husband and I are both 35.

Does the one attempt theory have to do with multiple attempts raising the pH?

I actually did start exercising and dieting 2 weeks ago just to be healthy. But maybe it will help me sway for a girl too!

Does the Calcium/Magnesium supplement work quickly or would I need to take that for a long time for it to make a difference?

We don't know why the multiple attempts sways. It's just a very strong trend we saw in our results. I tend to not think it's pH since pH stuff has not worked for us.

I don't think the cal-mag supps really work but allegedly you're meant to be on them for 6 weeks and more like 12 is better. But hey, if they do work surely some has to be better than none.

Thank you so much atomic sagebrush!
I just found an essay you wrote about it. It took me a little exploring to figure out the site :)
I'm glad there's something I can do in this first month to attempt a sway!
