Hey ~ Reactivated old member here :)
Hello everyone. My name is Rebecca, I'm married and have 9 children with my husband.... YES 9 :O!! We live in Australia in a small farming town. Out of those 9 we have 6 boys and 3 girls. We are TTC our final child and are hoping for a girl, but don't mind either way. I know there a loads of Mamas trying to have just one pink bundle, so I hope I don't come across as greedy
So, back in 2007/2008 I was around when all the hype regarding gender selection started online. BOY... have things changed and gotten technical lol. I'm lost. I've spent a few days browsing around the forums. I've gotta tell you though I'm very confused. I see a lot of conflicting advice. (Maybe some old posts mixed up with latest research?) Back in the day we were told to BD frequently through ovulation for a Girl. Is this still so? I did this for my first daughter, but maybe it was just luck that I got her that way? I also used replens back then. This time around I'm thinking about using rephresh. Is this recommended still? Whats some basic guild lines for trying for a girl?
Nice to meet you all. Please say hey

Hey ~ Reactivated old member here :)
What an amazing family you have! Things have changed a bit from when the site got up and running. Here is the breakdown for a pink sway that seems to be getting the best results most of the time:
LE diet 12 weeks 50-60g protein, 40-50g fat, vegetarian if you can manage it, no red meat, and vegetable sources for fat. Coffee and alcohol (any type) have also been getting great results. Alcohol is usually taken from AF-O to be safe. Fiber helps if you have some weight to lose or are not breastfeeding. It's taken before fatty/high nutrient meals or twice a day. Any fiber is fine as long as it doesn't have any additional vitamins in it.
Exercise. Cardio only 60min (minimum of 50min) 5-7 days a week. Any less seems to sway blue UNLESS you have PCOS then any amount you can do above 3 days a week seems to work.
BD once in your fertile window via at first positive opk OR BD every 4 days from the end of AF until the latest you've ever ovulated or have had three high temps above your cover line to confirm O has happened (if you chart- not necessary if you don't want to).
Most don't use jellies, lubes, rephresh/replens anymore as they prevent conception and have not been getting good results. That being said, if you need something to make BDing more comfortable, use a small amount of a sperm friendly lube has helped and doesn't sway one way or another.
Clomid or Femara if you can get it. If not, no worries!
That's about it! Don't hesitate to ask more questions! We are all here to help!
FX and GL to you!!

Thank you for such a kind words and basic instructions. Did you have a sway yourself? If so where can I find it? Also whats your thoughts on pre seed. My husband and I are getting up there ( I just turned 39 a few days ago, and hubby is 47) and we need all the help we can get. I'm trying to fall pregnant and deliver before i'm 40

I did sway pink this time and last time too that brought our sweet DS3. You can find both of my sways under the TTC girl forum in the Add Your Girl Sway section. Just search by my username.
You can use preseed if you need it, but I wouldn't use an applicatorful. I would only put a little on your DH to make BDing more comfortable. I hope you get your BFP soon!!

Hey Mummtog I'm from Australia too welcome back and best of luck for your girl sway.
I used jellies (acijel and rephresh) in my last girl sway which resulted in ds2 so not sure if I will use them this time. I will see as my time to ttc gets closer.
Everything xx said is what I'll be doing minus the clomid cos it's so hard to get!Proud Mum to two gorgeous boys

Thank you ladies for the warm welcome.
I have a question about BD frequency... Whats the science behind every 4 days for swaying girl?

I believe it's just an easy way to only have one attempt in your fertile period as you are only usually fertile for 4 days each month. I think it is also a way to not have to use opks and stress about when you are ping. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

Hi and welcome back! Cool family!
i actually just did a post on the reasons not to do frequent BD thru O.
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...nk-lately.html
We track our results and change our approach accordingly. But some people don't want to change things, they want to sway in a certain way and it's their life, their choice, so I leave up the old-school info for anyone who wants to use it.!!! Questions??

I successfully had my girl nearly 3 years ago thanks to an awesome plan from atomic. I have just started on Ozempic to try and lose some weight due to PCOS and it’s working well. Does anyone...
