My Boy sway (most likely successful)
TTC a BOY Sway Attempt
First of all, a big thank you to everyone on this forum, especially the kind ladies responsible for providing all of this amazing information. My history with this swaying attempt is a little odd. I started my sway and continued for around two months. I changed my diet to fit the HE diet, and took a few of the supplements. But then my husband and I decided to postpone the baby plans as we started to have some personal and economic issues. So I stopped swaying for one month. Then after the one month I just really wanted a baby and decided to TTC that very month and take our chances. I had only 4 days before my ovulation day, so I started diet and supplements for only 4 days prior to attempt (I should add that my usual diet is pretty boy friendly so I didn’t have to do a lot of changes). The gender of my baby has been confirmed through a 14 week ultrasound.
