I didn't realise your DS4 was still so young. That could have something to do with your cycles still adjusting. I hope you get some answers!
I just got told at lunch I need to have a girl... this woman normally likes to remind me every few months.
Another woman at work told me she is 8 weeks pregnant today. For some reason I had a feeling she was pregnant.
Pbn3 and anyone else who is thinking about giving up TTC because you can no longer sway-- As someone who has been swaying since February 2014, has had a miscarriage during that time, and has a DH who wants no more children and pulls out every time we DTD, you can still sway very lightly and get a girl. It happens all the time, here and IRL. I know in my heart that if I accidently got pregnant (and I did both times with DS1 and DS2) with zero sway I would 100% have another boy and that thought makes me so sad, so I knew I had to keep up some kind of "sway" until I either got back on the pill (not happening) or DH got a vasectomy. There's no way I could continue a super strict sway like I did when I got pregnant the 3rd time (miscarriage) but I could do a few things that sway girl and not do things that sway heavily boy.
As a classic boy mom I used to take daily multivitamins, probiotics, fish oil, vitamin D, and b-complex. I used to drink green or white tea daily. I never drank alcohol, coffee, or diet drinks. Cutting out the vitamins and tea and adding coffee and a daily diet soda with a shot of vodka were easy for me. So I continue with that. It doesn't take much effort.
I continue taking a spoonful of cinnamon a day in a single serve applesauce as this is easy too. It's my "dessert!"
DH continues to take OLE (since I'm in charge of his vitamins)
I've never been into exercise, and could barely keep up with my cardio when I was swaying hardcore, so I am a couch potato. Two of my best friends that have all girls don't exercise either.
With regards to the LE diet, there's no way I can count out all my calories, protein, fat every day or eat vegetarian so I don't do that. I got extremely iron deficient after doing the LE diet and having my miscarriage so I continue to eat meat daily to help my iron. My best friend is a vegetarian and has all boys and my 3 friends who have all girls all eat meat, so I don't think you have to cut out meat to get a girl. My friends with all girls do eat little red meat, so while I do eat red meat, I try and limit it to the TWW. Skipping breakfast has always been easy for me so I keep that up. No snacking is easy for me so I do that as well and stick to 2 meals a day. I have 1 serving of full fat dairy a day-- heavy cream in my cappuccino! I used to snack on nuts, beef jerky, and full fat yogurt, but now if I'm going to snack it will be with something sugary like candy! I used to eat a lot of salmon, now I buy white fish.
I don't worry about when to DTD. I use Preseed to help out any swimmers that may have escaped.
It's an extremely manageable "light sway" but it's still A LOT of changes from when I got pregnant with my boys. My advice for anyone thinking of giving up TTC, is to just pick a few girl friendly lifestyle changes that you can do without thinking and avoid a few of the biggest boy swayers. Because like Atomic says, so many people get fed up and stop swaying completely and all of a sudden BAM, they're pregnant right away with an opposite. It's always better to do a very manageable light sway then to give up everything (unless you're 100% ok with an opposite that is).
Good luck to everyone and I totally get the urge to throw in the towel!
Well put essnce. I got very caught up in the beginning about every little thing but ive decided im sticking with what i can do and a little more if i can. Fingers X it does the trick.
Purple- i hope i havent got dud tests. I'll have to have another look on ebay. Im starting to think my body is ironing out. I did have ds3 and 4 quite close together so its likely my body is saying break time 😂😂😂

Thank you Essnce, really needed that encourgement and reminder that I don't have to kill myself over this sway, just sticking with some of the changes already puts me in a much better place than when I conceived my girls. This group is such a blessing for support and finding people who totally get what you are feeling. It is so difficult not to get consumed by the whole thing and find it dictating your life and also to not just wish time away with waiting to o then waiting to test. Must enjoy the blessings and wonderful children I already have! I'm allowing myself one morning of feeling sorry for myself and that is it!
PBN, praying you get your BFP this cycle but also pleased that you are so at peace with your decision.
Y'ALL!!!
I am in complete shock! I have always ready stories of people throwing in the towel, not thinking they were pregnant! Well, now I am proof that happens! I woke up this morning and my temp spiked again. I stumbled into the bathroom to take a test, heart wasn't even racing like normal, I knew it was negative. I couldn't clear my eyes bc I sleep in my contacts. Well, this line popped right up! BABY P #3 is on the way!!!! Thank you, Jesus!!! I cannot believe this.
