    Tentatively waving hello 😶

    Hello all, I'm new here but not quite sure why or if I should here really as dh isn't really keen on having another baby 😳 however, we have two boys already and I would love to have a girl. I'm having my coil out and we were supposed to be taking precautions in the week leading up to its removal but he hasn't despite me reminding him after the first time we dtd in this period! He wants me to go on the POP when the coil is out but I don't want to use anything (for obvious reasons) but o have agreed to give it a go but he's not really pushing the issue at the moment so I may not do anything as he's being a bit lax about it. So, long story short, there's potential for an unplanned pg to happen! At the moment, I'm physically at my fittest ive ever been, weight training, running, high protein diet, but from reading on here, this is all very much a blue sway lifestyle. I'm really reluctant to give up my weight training as I've come so far but if we do have another pg, I would like to optimise our chances of a pink. At the same time, giving up my weights (Id have to swap to the 60mins cardio 6x week with at least some body weight exercises for my own sanity) and the dietary overhaul would feel like I'm throwing myself entirely into ttc and a sway for technically an "unplanned" pg, which may or may not work which ultimately would feel disappointing for the fact of putting all that effort in and sacrifice?! Sorry, I'm rambling. Head is a little everywhere at the mo x

    How badly do you want a girl over just a baby, regardless of gender?

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Thank you ��


    Maidentomother - in all honesty?? I probably feel more strongly about wanting a girl than generally having another baby if that makes sense?! But that probably makes me sound awful �� a friend with 3 girls said to me "if I knew for sure that no.4 would be a boy, I'd go for it now!" And this was almost immediately after her 3rd - and I get that, I really do!!!x

    There are a lot of girls here who have strong gender desire here. It doesn't make you a 'bad' person at all. We all are in the same boat! Welcome, and good luck with your sway x

    HI and welcome!

    Having the coil just out may sway pink anyway.

    What I would do is simply switch SOME weights for cardio, no need to 100% drop them, and then do the modified "atomic fertility diet" which is a healthier, higher protein option. YOu can find that here 5 posts from the top, and while it's a PCOS thread we are using this variation of diet more and more with great results for everyone, not only those with PCOS. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...rt-3-pcos.html

    Above all else, we have gotten great results with having one attempt and only one attempt in the fertile window of O-3 thru O day. NO matter what happens, even if you don't do any other type of sway, limit yourself to one attempt in that window, because for reasons we do not understand, that sways strongly pink for us.

    Thank you so much atomic 😊 is there a reason why having the coil out may sway pink (It's a copper coil as oppose to mirena)? I've been suffering with frequent thrush and BV (hence having the coil removed) so I've been taking acidophilus, cranberry tablets, and Apple cider vinegar in a desperate attempt to rectify my vaginal ph and stop any more infections, but to no avail, but I am continuing wit them anyway - would these hinder a girl sway do you think??

    So, reduce the number of weight training sessions I do and focus more on the intense cardio? That seems more appealing to me 😀 👍

    Thank you ☺️ X

    just re-read, it's 3 days before to o day.
    acidophilus seems to be not getting great results from the stats, also think apple cider vinegar could sway blue xx
