Things that make me feel great about my sway: I got a bad cold on October 4th that lasted 3 weeks. I didn't think I was healthy enough to be fertile; in fact, I gave up my sway the day I got a BFP. I even posted in a forum on another site that I was done swaying because it made me sick. A few hours later, surprise BFP!
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I didn't realize I was ovulating when we did it, so I didn't do any rephresh / shallow / dumping. The second time we did it, I think I even fell asleep afterward.
Things worth mentioning: If declining maternal condition is a major factor in gender swaying, a girl should be coming my way if this is a sticky bean. LOL Note that I still breastfeed my two-year-old, although he's limited to once or twice per 24-hour period.
