:rofl: when it gets tough just think of the sausages!! oh i hear you on the play fighting its non-stop in this house!! my boys are 6,5,4 and nearly 3 (i must be mad!!) but i do think there is something special about brothers, they are so close and have a very crazy (and hilarious) bond!! i just wish we didnt get so many things broken in the chaos.. or talk about farts, poo and willys quite so much :-/ haha oh the joys of boys!!

aww thats lovely that you are so close to your mum and nan :) fingers crossed you can have that same relationship with your own little girl(s) do you think you will have more than 3 or is this your last baby?

good luck with the exercise! im going couch potato i just cant commit to it 6-7 days a week and from what ive read any less sways blue which i want to avoid! just seen your in england me too!! :D xx

Hi 4blue2pink,

Thanks a lot for this thread! It had my attention immediately since we lost our precious daughter at 30 weeks gestation last June. So first of all, I'm very sorry for your loss. This is also for you Mrs Theatrical! I'm always amazed how many people need to go through this horrible pain of losing a child. It shouldn't be happening!
Since this was our first child and we were so ready to welcome a baby in our lives, we decided in September to try again (and now it was even more important that it's a girl).

I must say that the sway you described looks very much like mine, except for the exercise (I tried to do it 4x a week). I'm also not a fan of coffee and alcohol so that's been left out.
I'm actively swaying since September but I already had a very girlfriendly lifestile, and even more after the loss. I barely ate after the loss because I was feeling so terrible. So when I discovered this site and purchased a personal plan in September, I also started eating vegetarian (I didn't eat a lot of meat anyway so it's not hard for me). Apparently I got pregnant with the first try (but didn't know because AF arrived) but it became a mc at 7 weeks. But now, I took a pregnancy test last week and I got a BFP again :) I'm just worried because I don't have any symptoms yet and I'm going for a blood draw tomorrow.

How long did it take for you after your loss that you got pregnant again? Any more tips maybe?
I just really hope I can get a girl; I always wanted a girl and now with this loss it's even more important :(

Thank you. 6 years tomorrow, I hope you are feeling ok? I'm sure it must be so hard each time the anniversary comes around :( Did you say you don't know why you lost her?

There's an increased chance I could get another hematoma with a subsequent pregnancy, but I can't live in fear. My first two pregnancies (with my boys) were very easy. Now I will be classed as super high risk if we do conceive again.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Sigrid, and thank you for your kind words. Congratulations on your BFP! X

Thought I'd pop in -- hoping to have a son. I've been actively "preswaying" for a boy since I found this site almost a year ago exactly! I started swaying more thoroughly after we had an oopsy pregnancy between 3-4 months postpartum which ended in a miscarriage. Not actively trying to get pregnant, mind you, but definitely don't want to get caught out again since it was a little ridiculous how we even got pregnant that time...

Before my DD, I was ultra LE. One meal a day, if that, tons of exercise, no red meat, lots of coffee and alcohol, etc. My DH and I are frequent BDers, so I'm the opposite of some -- I know more than 1 attempt can still get a girl if all other things are dotted and crossed!

Oh hello everyone, hope ye don't mind me joining this lovely thread ...day 2 of the le diet here too so nice to be part of a group who are all in it together! Had 3 attempts last Sep, Oct and Nov but didn't conceive, so technically I've been on the le diet on and off for 6 mths really. I've 3 wonderful little boys but everyday I long for a daughter .. the feeling just won't go away and every where I see little baby girls I get a Little bit jealous which I hate. Anyway going to attempt again in Feb and pls God we all get our desired gender. Sorry for everyone's loss, I can't relate but I feel your pain. Sending ye all virtual hugs ❤

Thanks, that's really sweet of you to say! Indeed it shouldn't happen to anyone. Unfortunately it happens a lot more than we think. I'm just hoping 2017 will be a better year!
And I wish everyone here all the best for the new year with a baby of their desired gender :HH:
