Help with a sway girl
My partner and i would love to try sway for a girl baby in a year or so and i will purchace a plan closer to when we start our sway. But just curious as to what are our chances even with a good sway when my partner is a body builder/ heavy weight lifter. Ive read that sways boys so do we have much of a chance at a girl and how long would he have to stop gym for decent chance and would he have to lose a lot of his muscle mass

I do not know the answer to your question, but my BIL is in the gym every day working out. He plays arena football and still hopes to make it to the NFL one day, so the gym is his job. He and his wife have a baby girl. So I still think you have a chance.

It might have some effect, but I don't think that dad's diet and exercise impact the outcome anywhere near as much as mom's does.

We have seen anecdotally overwhelmingly more girls conceived to bodybuilders. There are bodybuilding forums that have threads about it, even.
Please don't make him stop weightlifting. You don't know that is why you have boys anyway. I would focus on what is working best for us - which is LE Diet for YOU plus fiber, coffee, and alcohol 12 weeks or longer, cardio exercise 60 min. 6-7 days a week, and one attempt or every 4 days. Clomid or Femara for you if you can get it. Nothing else has been anywhere near as effective as those things.

Thanks for reply. I wonder tho do a lot of body builders have girls as a lot are taking testosterone. He doesnt take testosterone. He does all natural and eats large amounts of protein. Defs dont think its the reason why we have boys but wondee if its a contributing factor. Both of us were eating extremely boy friendly diets before conceiving. Also i was very anorexic yrs prior than recovered and concieved so gained weight which seen u post this can sway boys. Ahh wanting a girl so badly sucks so much. I always wanted a boy so very thankful to have 2. But so scared i wont get a lil girl. :'( how do ppl deal with those emotions.

It's not easy, but if it helps at all we have all been there and completely understand.
Yeah, we speculate it may be because of something some bodybuilders are taking but we just don't know.
Some of us have gone on to recover from ED and still get girls though. It is possible. I do prefer that my recovering ED sufferers not do diet but just go vegetarian. We get good results with this as well.

I was thinking about going vegetarian as i thought it seemed like a really good way to sway but unsure. This is our last attempt so want it to be our all. Thx for ur help will be in touch in near future when we decide to go ahead with our sway.
-
That is my very great preference for anyone in this boat - if you have an eating disorder, just go vegetarian. Don't even try to do the full LE Diet as the attention to the numbers will make you think about food too much and would probably only sway blue by aggravating your control-freak tendencies (most of us blue mamas have those)
-
Im defs a control freakk. Not sure if i can handle letting go of reducing calories slightly to try up chances. Ahhhh freaking out about swaying hardcore and not even starting yet. Wish i had two attempts at this but hubby said only one more wahhhh :(
-
Just go vegetarian for now and see how it feels. We sometimes forget that we have time and wiggle room to adjust over time and think we have to dive into the deep end on day one, but you don't. In fact that approach sets you up to fail because it's too much all at once.
