I haven't told anyone other than dh, who seems on board. There are people who know how much I want a girl, but I haven't mentioned swaying to them. I don't really have friends, anyway.

I have only mentioned it to 2 of my closer friends. But honestly I rarely talk to them. My one friend has 3 boys also and is now pregnant with another son after reversing DH vasectomy. I shared a little more with her.
The problem is people are to quick to judge. I hated going places after ds3 was born, the comments were ridiculous. "You went for a girl, didn't you". I am so nerves it is going to hurt one of my boys feeling one of these days:(
I keep mostly to myself about it. When I first talked about it to DH he was an ass. Then I told him he wasn't being very supportive. I kept pointing out single gender families and explained why it was, that's when I think he started believing swaying a little.
We are secret swayers, DH and only DH knows and ever will :wink:
I have told a few friends but I don't talk about it all the time with them because they will think i'm nuts. My sister is EXACTLY like yours and she is giving me the same reaction that yours has... it's so annoying. But I know its because she wants to get pregnant with her first soon and she's hoping to have a girl just to "beat" me to it. So we'll see!
I have only talked about it with my husband, mainly because I think people will say that we are trying to play God and that people shouldn't mess with these stuff. Plus all the people I could ever bring up such a matter already have mixed families so I don't think they would understand. If I knew anyone really really close to me with GD I'd probably try to help them by sharing the information.
Never told anyone I was swaying, never even talked to anyone about what you MIGHT :wink: do if you WANTED to sway, not even DH. He would think I was mad.
I have mentioned the diet to people. Some believe the man determines the gender, some believe it's timing. Others are actually very interested :) Regarding gender comments from people. When I eventually get my bfp, I am expecting people to ask if we decided to try for a boy. I'm seriously thinking of throwing them all off and tell them we're trying for another girl, lol.
No one not even DH!! Xx

Dh is the only person I really talk to about it. I don't even tell him much, just "hey babe, time for sex!" He's happy with that.
I have gained a lot of weight over the millions months of swaying so I just tell people I am having hormone issues...which is true, sort of...
I did have a conversation with some dance class moms once about 'improving/declining maternal condition' but that was it. Interesting to hear that the theory rang true for them, lots of confirmation there!
I have an essay about it here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/sway...-part-1-a.html
I actually have the second part of this very nearly done, should finish it one of these years LOL
