Hoping to successfully sway pink again

[Flowergirl]

Hello Atomic & everyone else!

Pinching myself that after approx 5 years I’m back & once again praying and swaying for pink. We were so blessed with our DD after a successful GD sway after having two amazing boys. To be honest I thought we were 3 and done (and very content!). However God sometimes has other plans for us!! I was very recently pregnant with a surprise #4 but sadly lost the baby at 11 weeks in late May. The grief feels so great and has now planted a seed that I’d absolutely love one more baby before this mumma gets too old haha.

Of course we would feel so blessed with a healthy baby - pink or blue - but considering we will be TTC in approx 6 months time (we’re planning on selling/moving etc. first) I would love to use this time to sway pink in hopes my little girl could get a sister.

I’ve just purchased my plan (exciting!!), just not sure what/where the forms are for my personalised plan?

Very much looking forward to starting my sway and feeling like I’m working towards filling this loss I’m heartbroken about.

Bumping for Atomic. I haven’t heard from anyone since buying my plan yesterday morning so just checking in on where the forms can be found to create my plan? Thanks so much

Augh I swear to you I answered this, not seeing my reply though!!! So sorry!

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss

The questionnaires are here and I can make the plan once I have them. https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum/misc.php?do=forms

Please let me know how I can help in the meantime!

Thank you so much Atomic!! I just completed 2 forms, please let me know if there's anything else you need from me. Its so funny reading back my first sway questionnaire responses compared to these ones. I was definitely more "boy mum" back then! Still a way to go to get back to pink territory but I think it will be easier this time (hopefully)!

Hi Flowergirl! Congratulations on the successful sway - do you mind sharing what you did last time? Pink dust to you!

Oh thank you Thirdtimelucky01! Pink dust to you too I did try and find my sway info I’d submitted when I found out it was successful but couldn’t find it! Atomic do you know where it would be?

I have some notes in my phone though of some of the things I did so I’ll add them below. I left no stone unturned and very strict with the LE diet for about 10 months by the time I feel pregnant. I’d lost probably about 7 kilos (& didn’t really have weight to lose!) and as a result also lost ovulation but was prescribed clomid which also helped my sway. I’ll add my phone notes below of the other things I did:

Prayer
Slept with window open every night which I never did
Added then replaced soy milk with rice milk of a morning (been drinking soy milk for 10 plus years)
Dropping spirulina (been taking that for at least 8 years)
Vitex, saw palmetto, folic acid, iodine, fibre.
Dad's supps & tried to cut back on red meat & eggs
1800 cals daily
Started at 57 kilos - dropped down to 50(?)
Skipped breakfast (accept when we went away 15/16th Dec but I still ate a LE choice). Never snacked.
Only ate fish once and that was when we were away 15th Dec
Stopped eating salmon and tuna which I used to eat daily
Lived off yoghurt, fruit, veg, rice mountain bread, rice (with low fat tzaziki, low fat hummus, low fat feta or Parmesan for flavour) and meringue nest for a treat every night
Added aspartame - diet drinks which I hadn't had for at least 10 years
Added some house plants
Salt lamp
Lavender essential oil on my pillow, lavender body wash & lotion
Much less detail orientated ?
Hungry most of the day

I’ll be interested to learn what is still working and what isn’t anymore!

What have you been doing so far and how long have you been swaying for? Xx

That’s really interesting, thank you! I also saw in your post 5-6 years ago that you did BD every 4 days. Would you remember if it was in a 72 or 96hr pattern? I’ve been on a diet since late 2019, had a pregnancy in January (first month trying) which I sadly lost at 7 weeks so now trying again, on my 5th cycle since miscarriage. Doing LE diet, fiber, red wine, coffee and exercise 4-6 times a week 60mins+. Did 4 months of one attempt at positive OPK, that didn’t work for me, this month I’ll start e4d in a 72hr pattern.

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost at 11 weeks only 3 weeks ago so still really struggling with it. I hope it gets easier as time goes on.

Ohh to be honest I think I was relaxed about timing (as in we would BD any time of day/night on the 4th day) because we had 2 other kids and had to fit it in when we could! I was also on clomid and aware that if I didn’t fall the next step was IVF. I’ve not incorporated exercise before because I drop weight doing LE but I see it’s getting good results!!
