BrightSky TTC a GIRL Sway Attempt

Just wanted to come back and update my sway, we did indeed have a little boy! We love him lots and he's been an amazing baby so far! I wasn't hugely surprised my sway was unsuccessful (I don't want to use the word failed!) as I had a million things going on in my life at the time of conception. At the end of the day I was happy to have another child no matter what and didnt enter this with the assumption it would only be a girl. We do want 3, but I will not sway again as it will definitely be my last, I will be looking at the HT route. BUT for now I am enjoying my newest snuggliest bundle as I know it will all go so quickly!!!

Congratulations on your healthy baby boy!!!

Congrats pinkcomestrue!! I wasn't surprised at all to have another boy and was so happy to meet him. He's so cute, I'm enjoying having a baby around and this way I definitely get my third baby. I will start looking into it too in a few months, I guess a lot will come down to how long I breastfeed for. my biggest fear is still spending the money and not being successful, but I guess that's how everyone feels going into this process! Keep me updated on what you decide to do!

Same here! Loving my baby so much so I'm not sure when I should start my HT journey, planning to breastfeed him for 6 months but I feel bad about it as I breastfed my first for 18 months, time is not on my side so I'm hoping if I get my DD soon then I'll try to feed him again..crazy idea I know!

I probably will go next April/May, if I stop BF around X'mas then hopefully period will return soon, but I never know when the period will come back..

One of my biggest fears also is spending fortune and not being successful too, as I can only afford 2 cycles, second biggest fear is the stress, I'm super scared of getting lots of unnecessary stress than enjoying my boys, I am afraid that I'll find myself selfish and just going for what I want.. But hopefully I can handle it and just love them the same as I do now.. :)

Keep me updated on you also, maybe we can be the cycle buddies!

I'm thinking the same, 6 months feeding, or up until Christmas time and then looking at going over in April/May next year. I'll breastfeed until he starts solids and I don't have to worry about sterilising bottles (is it from 6 months?) I also want to go back to work casually and get some independence back so 6 months will be plenty for me! Will you breastfeed them both if you are successful first go? It's not crazy at all, but he might be used to the bottle by then, my first son got used to the bottle and much preferred it in the end, which I was a little sad about!! He's still obsessed with them at 2.5!!!

I haven't fully looked into it yet, but I'm thinking of cycling and freezing and going back at the end of next year, mainly so I can do it while I am off work still and not as stressed. This will also allow me to go back to work for a while and save some more money which we might need if I need more than 1 cycle.. which knowing my luck we will!

Definitely sounds like we will be going through this together! The only thing that might change our plans is that there is talk of gender selection being allowed in Australia for the 3rd or more child. I highly doubt this will happen anytime soon, but at least it's some progress towards being able to go through this process at home. But for now, I will be planning our overseas trip!

Hi Brightsky,

Sorry for the late reply. Did you mean breastfeed both my boys? If so then my answer is no.. I tried putting my nipple close to my older boy's mouth and he was so disgusted, I said, I'm a big boy, not a baby!

Also I know the more I feed the later my period will return.. I'm thinking once he reaches 5 months, I'll start mixing formula, around 7 months I'll stop my breastfeeding totally and hopefully my period will return soon too..

I am not sure whether I should do fresh transfer or FET, I think I'll ask all the wise ladies here for advise, but I don't want to leave it for too long, my baby still easy to manage so I kind of want to asap in case my hobby changes his mind [emoji16]
