Thanks all for your input - I really appreciate you all taking the time to respond.
Essnce - To answer your questions: I always drink English breakfast tea (with milk and recently soy or almond milk) and usually a Cadbury highlights (or low fat) hot chocolate topped up with soy milk. I probably drink 2-3 cups a day of tea and try to limit hot choc to one cup. I don't drink coffee at all. Also, I am 31yrs and DH is 38yrs. DH and I aren't big drinkers at all and I can easily go a month without any alcohol, but I decided to indulge as we went out for Valentines night and the in-laws were looking after my boys. I wish you all best in your baby journey!
Dreamofpink - wow what an awesome story - Im so pleased for you. My gender desire (not to be confused with disappointment of my boys) has gotten worse with each boy as it has mad me crave that girl more as the chance of a daughter gets further and further away. And now I can't help but feel I want a daughter 'too much', that I wont get her :( With DS3 I was very happy at the thought of a boy, but I really really really really wanted the baby to be pink (obviously wouldn't change him for the world), but after 3x blue I cant help but feel a bit sorry for myself that 'Im not that lucky' - so maybe I need to be more positive!!!
Babygirlquest - Thank you so much for your reply - Can you believe that this 'accident' could be more of a pink sway than when I spent 3-4months on LE diet and actually swaying pink for DS3!!!
Throwaway_panther - I know - its crazy and I cant quite believe it myself. I have just broken the news to DH and he has been great about it - phew!! A Valentines baby lol!!!
Thank you all x

Yes! I think it could be more influential not trying as such. I tried to sway too hard 3 years ago & got ds3.
Three beautiful boys and my longed-for DD due in June 2016!

Yep - I can get that. Im a total 'Martha' (totally LOVE list making and Microsft Excel is my best friend lol!), so a relaxed non-sway here would be quite good for me :) x

I'm excited for you! I know of a few of us GD old-timers who swayed pink hard 3 or so years ago, got opposites & through oopsies have had or are having girls 😀

Throwawaypanther, I think that bc of innate swaying factors and due to how she got DS3. Also statistics and my own observations. But I very much hope I am wrong! I do tend to err on the side of caution bc I prefer not to get people's hopes up. That part is all on me.
essnce, I'm so happy to hear that. I think it's probably just a matter of time for you. I also wish I still had my insane youthful fertility, sigh. I've always believed that at least some if not most men can tell when women are fertile. Not necessarily due to pheromones (as according to research only women can detect them), but maybe other physical cues. I HAD noticed that you tend to BD when fertile. Very interesting!

OH my Jen!!! So excited for you!
I personally prefer not to go over sways that are done deals because I feel like they only contribute to false hope or false despair. You had a lot of pink friendly stuff working for you though and you always have a chance of a girl!!
FX and TX and tons of pink dust headed your way.
-
Thank you Atomic! I appreciate your dust lol!
Maiden - I can totally understand your point. Lets be honest, I had two boys 'naturally' and then tried to sway but still had a boy. I haven't changed an awful lot of my lifestyle so it would make perfect sense to have another boy. I honestly don't think DH and I have it in us to make a girl, but for now, I can hope just a teeny tiny bit ;) xx

You have every chance for a girl! Love your avatar pic too, beautiful!
-
Thank you Babygirlquest - I hope so!!
The avatar is a picture of DS3 - I do newborn photography. Its the best job ever ;) x
