Congrats on your baby. I know exactly what you mean by drowning in gd. It's the waking up in the morning that gets me, when it hits me I might never have a daughter. I'm sorry you are going through it as well .

This is not strictly swaying but I just wanted to let you know that the whole "boys don't call or care for you when they're adults" is totally garbage!!! In my family and my husband's, it's been the sons who care for their parents. I also have two adult sons and they are very loving, kind, helpful, everything you could ever want in a grown child. They don't wear makeup, it's true, but we still go shopping, watch movies together, like the same music and books, etc. I do totally understand wanting to experience both genders but I just don't want you to despair and think you're doomed to a certain sort of future because all too often we create what we fear!!

Hi I have pcos and I have three boys I would love a little girl but feel the odds are stacked against me:( my dh has one brother and I have 2 brothers. I was on met for all three but ds3 I was only on it a week and surprise bfp ! I have no periods ever only when I was ttc with femara. I didnt sway with my boys but hoping I could sway for a girl and be in with a good chance It's all confusing and ht is out of the question we live in Australia and cannot afford it. Hoping to find some ladies in the same situation battling with pcos and wanting to sway girl :)

To be honest, if I had the money for HT, I would not sway. I would go HT.

If you have PCOS, it can already damage your egg quality. While being in a laboratory environment isn't the most romantic for baby making, you would have the best chance and not only getting the healthiest egg, but getting a girl as well.

I know I might be the voice of dissent in this thread, but with the combination of PCOS and severe DG, I would do HT.

No dissent here, I tend to think that anyone with TRULY severe GD should consider HT very seriously unless they're much over 35 and have lower odds of success, and not enough money for 3 cycles at the least.

Sweetpink, it is possible to sway with PCOS. It will be more of a challenge. Is there any way you can get Clomid rather than Femara?

here are some links that may help:

Thank you for you reply :) I have been reading and reading and I have just started vitex and I'm also on metformin to try and get a regular cycle if that doesn't work I am going to ask my dr for clomid. I have started to calorie count and cut out sugars and carbs. I am trying to target my t levels by doing a insulin resistance diet. Would this be better for me than the girl diet??

Yes, an insulin resistance diet would be better for you than the girl diet. If you can eliminate red meat, and limit chicken, fish, eggs, and then keep an eye on fat intake, that will help your sway.

Thanks again I have started my diet and af arrived today do my cycle is getting somewhat regular I hope. Hopefully I won't need fertility meds and go natural thanks for your help !
