Things that make me feel great about my sway: An overall significant change in diet. After learning about swaying, I realized I had lived a very pro-girl lifestyle before.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: - Not exercising enough
- Not hitting the number count for vitamins everyday (but I came close or at minimum, half the time)
- Moon, Chinese Calendar, Signs etc., Month of conception etc. all point to Girl
- DH did not take vitamins
- No ECWM this time when I normally have a lot
- Having the early BD attempts...ideally, I wanted to just have 3 attempts but I did not expect my O to change
Just a lot of nerves overall...
Things worth mentioning: Week 11 I have my early Ultrasound
Week 14 I have my NT Ultrasound
Many thanks to atomic for your support and answering my questions.
I'm really hoping my sway worked and am keeping my fingers crossed...hopefully you ladies can help me with the ultrasound pics!
