TTC a Girl Sway AttemptGender Result:GIRL!!!DW Age:31DH Age:39Current Children's Gender(s)boy, boyNumber of Months TTC2Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?NoDIET
Did you follow a diet plan?YesIf yes to diet, which one did you most follow?- LE(Low Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes--If diet was used, length of time before attempt?6-7 months of fasting until noon and overall calorie monitoring/restriction, although diet was high protein/fat and lower carb.Did you skip breakfast regularly?
14 weeks added in peppermint tea (2 cups daily), more aspartame and more caffeine
6 weeks out switched to LE diet in addition to all above and was primarily vegetarian during the day, with small meat portions for dinner. Daily protein intake shifted from 85-105 g to 45-55 g. Switched whole grains to lower nutrient choices.YesDid DH change his diet with you?NoComments regarding DH's diet-DH eats primarily "paleo" diet, so high protein and fat (3-4 TBSP olive oil daily), but he also fasts until noon daily. He consumes moderate amount of caffeine daily, including some aspartame. He also had very little red meat in the last 6 weeks before attempt, since I prep all food.DId you consume alcohol?- Often- daily
DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I drink caffeine regularlyAny Diet Details?Dairy intake included one yoplait light yogurt on most days for last 6 weeks, some part-skim mozzarella cheese, fat free cream cheese, and 8-12 oz nonfat milk daily (usually made into a latte)Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?My sodium and caffeine were both intentionally high. I did not add salt to things, but sodium intake was much higher by virtue of eating so much more processed foods than usual. I also included alcohol in my sway. Night of attempt was vodka with 100% cranberry and equal.WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?24.1 BMIAny Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
Stayed the same, but I definitely loss muscle mass during last 6 weeks with the sudden shift from protein to empty carbs/sugarExercised 5-6 days a week for at least an hour. Mainly running.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if knownunknownAny VG potions used?- RePhresh
- Sylk
CM pH at attemptunknownDH pHunknownHow many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?2BD Dates according to Ovulation- 4 Days Before O
- 1 Day Before O
Any additional comments?Plan was for one attempt, but opks were giving me false "peak" readings, so did one attempt 4 days before O and then the evening of the "real" positive opk. RePHresh was used every 3 days from AF (full applicator) with last full applicator 13 hours before attempt. Used Sylk for both attempts, but sparingly.THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers- Frequent Release
BD PositionMissionaryDid you Jump and Dump?- For some attempts
Any relevant attempt details?The "real" attempt day before O was the second release of the day. I was prone for 4-5 minutes (but not propped hips or anything) before getting up to use the bathroom. Also took a very hot bath right before attempt.SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements- Baby asprin
- folic acid
- Antihistamine
DH Supplements- Cranberry
- Magnesium
Any additional supplement info?I was taking calcium citrate, magnesium, cranberry, and folic acid from 14 weeks prior until 6 weeks prior. Cranberry and folic acid only from 6 weeks until 2 weeks prior. For successful attempt cycle (2 weeks prior to attempt) I took folic acid and baby aspirin only. DH was taken off his multivitamin about 14 weeks prior and had calcium, magnesium, and cranberry, but irregularly - probably 3 times a week. I took Zytrec 3 days leading up to O.Did you do anything with Ions?I wore 2 negative ion bracelets. Painted my fingernails regularly with OPI "It's a Girl" polish and toenails with OPI "Pussy Galore" polish I added 100% lavender essential oil to my cleaning water (to clean house) and also put it on my pulse pointsMoon Phase during conception?Waning GibbousDid you use any Old Wives Tales?I put a set of pink baby pajamas under my bed, but couldn't bring myself to take them out of the packageThings that make me feel great about my sway:The changes in the types of foods/nutrient levels I was eating the last 6 weeks were a big shift. Fasting until noon, intense exercise, high caffeine, and having aspartame were also big changes from previous conceptions.Things that make me nervous about my sway:I wish my bmi had been much lower/had dropped. My calories stayed the same so the shift from high protein to high carb really made me hold onto everything. I was not on LE for very long.Things worth mentioning:I happened to get terribly sick about 8 hours after our attempt so had a high fever during ovulation and a couple days thereafter. Ate very little and was exclusively vegetarian in what I did eat.
Thank you so much to Atomic and all the other contributors on this site who gave so much of their wisdom, time, patience, support, and encouragement!Last edited by 2bnaday; January 21st, 2014 at 06:13 PM. Reason: updated to reflect gender confirmed as GIRL at 19 weeks!

I also followed the "left side sleeping" very diligently, but ultrasound yesterday showed that I ovulated from the right ovary, which makes 3 for 3 (right side ovulation) among my babies.

Hello everyone. I am new here but not new to swaying. I have 3 boys who are 7, 5 and 18 months old. I did not sway with my first two as I knew nothing about swaying and I wanted them to be boys...
