Hi Ladies,
I'm new around here and was hoping to sway
girl this late Spring/early Summer. I already
Have a dd (she's my oldest) and 2 DS. When
I conceived my dd I had been on birth control
for one year. After stopping, I got pregnant
on the second cycle. I'm just wondering if
it would improve my chances of getting a girl
if I go on the pill for a few months? I would want to
do the diet as well.
in theory it could, but dependent on the pill. BCPs can increase SHBG (which makes sex hormones (androgens) less active in your body) and this doesn't always return to normal for a couple of years after stopping so would sway pink.
fertility can take a while to return to normal after stopping BCPs and we think that low fertility can sway pink
some BCPs are anti-androgenic but others do the opposite.
also, some find that symptoms of high T are worse after stopping than they were beforehand, and that high T symptoms can return "instantly" after stopping
if you're taking the same pill as before your DD, I'd give it a try again
Any thoughts on the mini-pill, the "progestin only" pill? Is that worth going for 9 months before my sway attempt?
I did seriously consider it for my sway, but I remember when coming off cerazette before (which is an anti-androgenic minipill, which would be good for swaying) my cycles were messed up and that could make the swaying cycles/attempts very stressful. however, cerazette is one of those where T-symptoms have been reported to be worse after stopping it than before taking itQuote:

Thanks Rainbow! I took orthotrycyclin with
my dd. the down side with it was that I would
get horrible migraines. I'm need to visit my
OB for my annual and will ask for a prescription
So I have it! Thanks again for your thoughts!
Great thread thanks
