Anyone else researching/waiting to sway pink?

RainbowFlower: We want each child to have their own birthday month (if possible). Our family has birthdays in November, December, February and March. April has 6 birthdays in our extended family so we'd like to avoid an April baby as well. It wouldn't be a big deal if the kids shared a birthday month, but since we're planning #4 we'd like to avoid it if we can. #4 will be our last (regardless of gender). As much as I love having babies, we can't afford to "Duggar it out." :rofl:

Atomic: Our boys were conceived in March, May and February. I guess that DH and I really are more likely to have boys. Maybe if we conceive in a "boy month" it will be a girl? :think:

Mindy: I also LOVE seeing successful sways. It gives me hope. Maybe the clomid will help with your sway! Did you sway with your son?

ThinkPink: I agree! I wish that I knew when it was going to happen. We've had a fairly easy time conceiving in the past, but since girl sways really seem to decrease fertility it could easily take a while. We usually start TTC when the youngest turns one and I LOVE that age gap. Our kids are so close and get along pretty well.

Jude17: Are you going to do anything for timing? I'm doing the low everything diet too but I'm so torn on the timing issue. We're going to do abstinence so I'd really like to make sure that our timing is right. I don't think that I could ever do o+12, so cut off is probably our best bet.

"Atomic: Our boys were conceived in March, May and February. I guess that DH and I really are more likely to have boys. Maybe if we conceive in a "boy month" it will be a girl?"

No, unfortunately it doesn't work that way!!! In the "boy" months you're just THAT much more likely to have a boy!!! :hair: I have two March-conceived boys myself so I totally understand the frustration.

Interestingly, my boy that really "should" have been a girl (even more so than my failed sway baby because of the swaycession/testosterone thing) was conceived in August!!!:think:

Oh well... I figured it didn't work that way. Maybe we'll wait? I'm torn. If we try this fall, here's to hoping that we do enough to overcome the "boy months" and if not it's ok. We make cute boys :bigsmile:

Plus ya know the 4 boy club is very exclusive! ;)

PLENTY of girls are conceived in the boy months, it's just about optimizing your chances. GL!!!

TLC- I am glad you said that, that is exactly why we that age gap!

Rainbowflower- yes I will defo be doing the diet (not the IG one) I wil follow a low everything diet and try and shift 16lbs!

The thing Im not sure on is what supps/ herbs to take!

I would wait for a december baby but I have baby fever soo bad I dont think I can! Does that mean August/ Sept are boy months then? mmmm!

ThreeLittleCritters - we will do abstinence for 10 days hopefully. I think we will try O+12 first but I know this and abstinence with our age isn't good but we will give it a go first. We will both be 37. Hubby can't handle doing frequent release!!!! :)

If this doesn't work I am going to try a 2 day cut off and then if that doesn't work will think about a 1 day cut off but this is how I got my second boy?

I have worked out the seasons for me. But the best time would be Sept to Nov but I just realized that this is actually getting really close so I would need to start the diet soon. I am still breast feeding though so don't have AF yet! I wonder if we will stick to ttc right up to late summer early fall and if not pregnant we will wait until the following September but we will both then be 38? My boys were conceived in June and May so I am definitely staying away from late autumn/winter to conceive. If I want another baby hubby wants to try asap as he thinks we are getting to old. Good to know that people with a small age like the gap and think their kids get on well. I am nervous about such a small age gap though especially if my second son isn't sleeping through the night by the time a baby comes. I really suffer badly from lack of sleep!

Times just goes so fast doesn't it. I might start trying to finalize a sway and getting in everything I need. I only have the sylk at the moment.

Edited to say that - We also make SUPER cute boys as well. Everyone says they are beautiful looking boys :)

Im waiting to find the best time but it will be feb-april either this coming year or the next.ds just turned 1 on thursday and im still bf.

Jude here we also get 15hrs free childcare once they turn 3..

Glad to know I'm not the only one to be still waiting for AF while bf.


Sorry for not rwplyig to everyone, on my phone and this site makes it very difficult to read much text

ugh I am SO broody today!

I am waiting to sway but undecided on when we will start ttc.
I am currently pregnant with ds7 and plan on bf. DH wants a CLOSE age gap, like me pregnant by the end of the year!!
