My daughter on board is due in June, and was conceived in September ;) As was my own mom!

My DS2 was conceived in September and born in June. My DS1 conceived in November and born in August. My DS3 (failed girl sway) was conceived in March and born in November.
Diet, exercise (if you do any), and number of attempts in your fertile window trump any slight effect conception/birth months may have.
We may be TTCing at the same time, although my attempts and sway will need to be über stealth. My DH can't bear to get his hopes up again, but I'm going to give it my all this time.
FX and take all my blue baby dust- I have loads [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]!

Well I would love to gift you all of my pink dust!! Even though we will be swaying in opposite directions, I'll be rooting you on!! My husband is 100% fine with having a third girl(he just has never cared either way) so I feel like the weirdo that is just so obsessed with having a boy, I just can't let go of the thought of never having a son.
I'll take every speck I can, haha! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help! Before my DS3, I led a classic boy lifestyle so I can offer advice and support if you need it! Don't feel like a weirdo- the heart wants what the heart wants!
I don't feel lucky enough to be able to give my DH a DD [emoji20]. I feel like no matter what I do, I'll have another boy. The thing is, I LOVE being a boy mom! I always wanted to have boys! It's just my DH has deeply longed for a DD that makes me want to give it another shot for him. He doesn't want to get his hopes up again, so I'm having to sway and TTC undercover!

Even though I have not actively swayed at all (not even for fertility! it just... happened, haha!), I feel like the diet really, truly can play a role. I was such a textbook pink diet, no wonder I'm having a girl -- it might really, truly be the difference. Or at least, that's what I'm hoping when I start swaying blue (which, honestly, I've already started eating for in pregnancy!)
XXforhubby, Awww don't feel that way!! Do you mind if I ask how hardcore you swayed with your failed sway? I was definitely text book girl diet with both of mine. I never ate breakfast, was always on the run and not caring if I was eating healthy or not. And with both of my girls I had literally just started running(hardcore, like training mode) again and probably shocking my body.
I'm still nursing dd but am at the point where I'm not enjoying it anymore and she's over a year so I'm slowly starting to wean. Since having her I have made a lifestyle change with my eating(nothing to do with swaying) lots of fruits and veggies and a big egg and veggie scramble every morning! So I'm hoping this gives me a nice foot forward for when I do start the actual HE diet!!
I did sway hardcore at first. Then when I didn't get a BFP, I kept tweaking things. Eventually I increased a supplement I had been taking (for non-swaying purposes), because I read it helped with egg quality in older moms. It messed up my fertility! I basically had to eat more protein and fat, take vitamin D, and CoQ10 just to conceive. I believe that my constant micromanaging my sway, and all the above contributed to my precious DS3!
I'm feeling more and more like my family is complete. I have days where I want another baby. I think it's just what happens when baby making days are dwindling- it's a gradual process for me. Looking into my DS3's eyes this morning tells me I could be good with the way things are. I haven't felt this way up till now.
FX and GL with your sway! I'm not sure if I will TTC or not. If I do, it will have to be uber stealth! Regardless, please take my blue baby dust, it's the rambunctious and super snuggly with mama kind [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]!

I just wanted to chime in....I've been waiting for someone to start a thread for TTC late 2016/early 2017 haha. I have two boys and I would love to experience raising both genders. I want to start TTC for a girl in November so I plan on starting the LE diet in August. I've been on the pill for almost 5 years and I'll come off in November so we can catch the first egg. I want to wish everyone luck and a healthy baby!!! FX that we all get our DG!!!
xxforhubby, thank you so much for the kind words!!
Ahorn, thank you! And good luck to you also!! We plan to start trying in October I think!!
