i did a pink sway this time as would love another girl and for our youngest daughter to have a sister here with her at home. i dont know what im having this time yet and the anxiety is starting to bite!!
i didnt sway with any of my other babies, although i now realise i was living on a blue sway when i had my boys, constantly grazing on food throughout the day keeping blood sugar steady and bd right through each month.
my youngest daughter was conceived from 1 attempt that month which was followed by me coming down with gastro so i couldnt eat for 4 days, only thing i could keep down was an aspartame drink (i only ever drank water normally) and im certain my blood sugar was very low at the time too so total contrast to my boys!!
this time i went with LE diet, long fasts, no snacks, no red meat etc.. drinking diet coke and only one attempt which was done using at home AI for non-sway reasons, got my bfp first month which i was shocked at as i was certain the AI would take longer but it didnt and now im just hoping that the changes i made were enough to sway the odds in my favour :)
knowing that we did an intentional sway does make me more anxious this time, is there anyone else still waiting to find out the gender who is feeling the same way?
im trying not to get my hopes up but its hard when im suffering with frequent headaches, sore boobs and itchy skin again this time, exactly like i did with my daughter.. i didnt have any of those things with any of my 4 boys!! they were all brand new symptoms for me last time when i had my girl, i know symptoms arent reliable at all but i will be interested to see if its the same outcome as last time *fingers crossed*
wishing everyone on here happy and healthy pregnancies and i hope you all get the :XX: or :xy: your hoping for :) xx
