Sophia it might not help you feel better right now but I wanted to let you know that I have been in a very similar position to you. When my eldest son was born I started planning my sway. We were going to start trying for a girl once my son was 8 months old. However, a slightly drunken night (one attempt plus j+d!) resulted in me being pregnant. I was still breastfeeding and only had one attempt so I thought i was in with quite a good chance of having a girl. I was, however, really mad with myself for not swaying esp as I had planned it all so thoroughly.
I had a boy. I can honestly say I do not regret him being a boy for a second. He is nothing like my eldest, they complement each other and are best friends. I wouldn't send him back!
I do still want a girl and five years on, we are trying for one. I just wanted to let you know that even if you have another boy, he is meant to be in your family and I guarantee you will love him to bits. My DH said no more, but I managed to twist his arm

Thanks so much honeybee.
My son is only 5 months old so if baby is another boy, it will be lovely for my son to have a brother so close in age and I of course will love him to bits.
I just want a girl so desperately that it hurts.
Really appreciate your kind words and good luck for conceiving your little girl xxx

Except many if not most doing both one attempt and 2 attempts are on a diet/the LE, doing exercise and other things to sway pink, so I don't think it's accurate to apply GD stats to non-swayers.
Congrats Sophia and you always have a chance at pink no matter what. If you do get another boy you could consider swaying for a 3rd.
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 remověng 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

I feel for you Sophia -- how you feel towards a girl is exactly how I feel towards a boy. <3
I had sex a total of 3 times in my fertile window, including two days in a row -- not entirely certain when I ovulated since it was only our first month of trying, but I am having a girl despite more frequent sex during "fertile" times. I am a VERY archetypal boy mom, too... lol. I did happen to be following an unintentional pink sway, but otherwise, I definitely had more sex than I "should" have traditionally for a girl, and we're having a girl.
Good luck to you! <3

Thanks Maidentomother xx
And thanks Throwaway panther, can I ask what your unintentional girl diet was? Lots of blue dust sent your way that you will get your boy next time xxx

When the deed is done, I sometimes choose to be encouraging rather than accurate. Now this really isn't the time or place to do that, but I am now painted into a corner into saying this for all the people who read this thread and now think I don't know how to read my own statistics (I do.)

Sorry to keep bleating on, but just wanted to mention, I thought my Opk may have indicated I ovulated on the Saturday as I had a very strong line on the Friday evening. But the day after my test I had creamy cm, does this indicate ovulation already happened? Xx

I don't think your chances are huge! If you had DTD on Friday and Saturday then maybe, but your Tuesday night delight was 4 days away from O. I'd say whilst it would have better to have just had the Friday attempt, it's not a total disaster either! You still definitely have a chance of having a girly
