I brought it up jokingly to my doctor kinda to see what she'd say, she made a snark remark. So I never ever brought it up again haha! And I only talk about it to my DH and my very very best friend BUT DH is a loud mouth. He told most his friends and ALL his coworkers. I was angry cause I'm sure they all think I'm friggen nuts now lol but whatever. He was as supportive and into it all as I was, so they will think we are both nuts together!
No I didn't ask my doctor. Only my husband and I know that we tried to sway........and my SIL. My SIL has two boys and swayed for her little girl- so she understands. I don't feel comfortable telling anyone else. That's why I'm so thankful for this website!
I asked my doctor before conceiving DS2 is there was anyway to increase your chance at having a girl. She said she didn't believe in swaying b/c she tried to sway for a girl with her first child and had a girl but then did everything differently with her second to try for a boy and had another girl. I never felt comfortable asking exactly what she did to sway lol. She is very laid back though so I may tell her that I swayed girl when I do conceive. Hopefully she just did all the wrong things when TTC a boy!
Might just be me but never sure how much you can take from first baby sways maybe shes a girl mum!Quote:

I will give it a shot really it can't hurt, I'm sorry some of you ladies have or had some mean doctor's they probably just don't understand because they probably don't have kids of their own. I'm curious about my midwife because she told my friend how to get a boy so in that case she might know a couple trick's to maybe getting a girl and she has been in her practice for such a long time I'm sure somwhere down the line she has researched or at least maybe looked into it because she might have been curiouse her self.:happy:
I feel like I can't ask any doc or midwife for fear they will think i'm a weirdo! Would love to hear from anyone that has asked however.
A friend recently confided in me that she swayed to get her son (she's pregnant with him now) after having a daughter. She had this theory and reckoned she was totally in the know... then went on to describe the shettles method. LOL I almost died. She was so convinced because it worked for her both times. Then I asked her about diet and frequency, and low and behold, she unknowingly did a LE diet with girl frequency (abstain) for the girl, and HE diet with heaps of supplements, fruit, veg, meat, snacking etc and BD every 2 days for the boy!!! That made me feel better!
Thats cool my mom 17 years ago she had thre girls in a row and cried her eyes out after her 3rd girl because her hubby got fixed and thought they were done having kids. And after her 3rd girl 4 years later she read an article in a magazine and it talked about way's you could conceive a boy or girl and all they suggested was a water and baking soday douch and prop legs up after intercourse, after she read that she got so excited went and made my dad go get a reversal ( un Fixed ) and she tryed just that and got her Boy!!!! and my mom is one of six girls and her mom was a frequent vinegar and water doucher. And they didn't know anything about swaying. Crazy!!Quote:

He was the first male grandchild in their family after 6 girls...
People have asked, and their doctors/midwifes typically give them inaccurate info - either that gender is 50-50 flip of the coin which is not true http://genderdreaming.com/forum/scie...ying-real.html or give them the whole Shettles timing and douche bit.
