I swayed pink for our third and final child and got pregnant WAY sooner than I was expecting. My other two took seven months each, and I got pregnant on the second cycle this time. I hate to say I firmly believe it’s because I was not thinking about my pregnancy at all and was consumed by grad school, yoga teacher training, work, and my daughters birthday party 😂 Lots of things going on.
Anyway... I feel like my sway was decent. We had only one attempt at (surprise early) OPK, I was almost completely vegetarian focusing on eating less in general and definitely low protein and fat for me. Drinking regularly, extra coffee, I was taking myo inositol, DH taking olive leaf and cycling and running a lot. I cut out most of my exercise and just did gentle yoga. I also drank tons of Pellegrino for otherwise low nutrient increase of cal mag. No prenatal for me, just folate, and I KNOW I implanted on the left. I felt it with both the others and it’s very clear to me. But...
I’m SO STRESSED about gender. I’m constantly comparing my symptoms between my son and daughter. Omg my feet are cold, it’s a boy 😭😭😭 IS MY INTUITION BEING OVERRIDDEN BY WHAT I WANT?? Am I sleeping on my left side?!
I know it’s not logical. I am VERY aware. But I can’t get over the possibility that I know deep down it’s a boy and I just won’t accept it, which is also completely illogical, especially since my other early signs pointed to girls. I just don’t know how to chill out about it. I’m doing the clinical sneak peek on the 27th so I don’t have to wait long but I just feel so much stress about it being a boy. I’ve tried to work through it on my own and I have moments of acceptance but I decided to post here to see if y’all had any advice... because I’m just struggling. It’s low key on my mind like ALL the time.
