I'm glad to hear it's still effective once a day. DH doesn't know about swaying and I felt weird hiding all the gelatin from him, haha. I'm close to breaking down and telling him.Quote:

OMg I know exactly how you feel! I feel so bad I have to hide the gelatin too, I'm so tempted to tell him but just don't know how to. although he has realised I'm eating " alot" according to him..Quote:

Can I join in? I am ttc hopefully a boy after having 3 daughters. I have poor fertility (2 ectopic pregnancies and 1 m/c) so now only have 1 dodgy tube left. It did work last time and DD3 is a result of that. I know I am in for the long haul as it took 2years to conceive her and we have not been preventing for a year now with no luck yet. I didn't realise how much swaying can be done so am going to try some different things. Although my cycle has been back for 16months I have only recently weaned my last bub so I am hoping this helps me get pregnant too.
Welcome and good luck Ollynem!! Fingers crossed for a quick BFP for you this time.
GL ollynem!
Good luck for a speedy BFP Ollynem.
Well done to you girls doing the gelatin, ACV & even the V8 drinks that was a step further then I was willing to go to get my son. I think I could have stomached a big steak after being veggie for 22 years rather than drink any of them ( and my body does strange things when I eat red meat -mild allergy is reason for being Veggie). I still got my boy
If I don't get pregnant this cycle, I think I'm going to tell him. I'm surprised he hasn't really questioned me yet. Suddenly I'm lifting weights, drinking protein shakes, and eating much more! Plus, even though I am working out so much, I don't feel like I look like I'm in better shape. The things women do, haha!Quote:

Fell off the wagon a little with diet and dropped exercise Esp weights but I'm cycle day 2 and about to go work out now (yoga) and I will lift at nights with hubby. He knows I sway and does what I tell him to do so he can get his boy as well. :-) I haven't told him he gets to dtd every 2-3 days this month plus the 3 attempts after +opk. He won't know how to act lol! It's time to get serious! Good luck everyone!
Thanks for the welcomes. I am only knew to swaying just learning more about it now. My DH struggles to DTD more then every 48hours unless he hasn't had it for a while. I don't know what to do about that in regards to frequency. We know he has a low count but I have been pregnant to him 5times so its not to the point where I fail to get pregnant. Our biggest fertility battle is the fact I only have one tube left which is damaged but I can't help but think DH is always going to favour girls with a low count. The only way DH could do it 3 times in 24hours is if he has not had it for over a week so I don't know how to go about that. Any advice? I was thinking abstain for a week and when I get a + OPT DTD 3times over 1-2days. Plus the diet of course.

If only I could bring myself to tell him but he's such a darling he's never the one for wanting any gender more than the other.. We've have been DTD every 2-4 days regularly way before I knew about swaying so that's not hard for us at all.. I just don't know how I'd tell him when it comes to my fertile window time lol although he wouldn't mind he's just think she's lost it lol ..
How long have you been on the diet kikical?

Pearl Your a perfect example of a successful sway without having to take these concoctions and red meat You've really given others hope, Congratulations again! I bet it still feel hard to believe?
You dont have to do that timing method if its not going to suit your lifestyle or DHs patterns. Every 48 hours or even a bit longer the whole way through your cycle is fine too. That way you are getting good quality fresh sperm which is what you want for a boy sway.Quote:

I've been on the diet since January 1st but I made a lot changes the first month. How about you? We didn't start the supplements right away so dh hasn't been taking the ones to help his sperm over 70 days. I would kind of like to conceive in April because of that but I'd like to get off the diet because I don't like feeling bigger. I'm hoping it doesn't take longer than 3 months!! It took 3 with dd and 2 with a miscarriage. Is your dh taking supplements? Mine thinks I went on a health kick and I've said it helps getting pregnant so he only thinks I'm a little crazy right now, haha.Quote:

He thinks I'm going over the top!
DH only takes Men's one a day 50+, and he drinks green tea every night and has a fairly boyish diet, no smoking or drinking for either of us but again doesn't mean it will work in favour of us. Ahhh we shall see hey, I'm at the point now where I just want to be pregnant and have a little baba again!
How about you, is DH ok with supps? I was encouraging mine to take fish oil but he gets freaked out because he thinks he's "overdosing" on vitamins, the worst thing was when he seen my little pharmacy drawer lol full of vitamins!
Yes me too I'm going for April attempt aswell just incase I don't get preggers right away.
Lol yes pomegranate, pineapple, orange and black grape juice are all good for blue.Quote:

Alright ladies lets move it to March...Cinss can you sticky the thread for me please.
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...y-swayers.html
DH has dry skin and I told him the fish oil would help so he was all about it. I feel a little bad about deceiving him but he really wants a boy so he'll appreciate it if the next one is a boy. I know he would be happy with a girl too but he such a man's man that I know he would be sad to not have that bond. I can kind of understand because I really wanted a DD and would have been upset if I didn't have mine.Quote:

I need to think the way you are thinking but I am nervous it will take me a few months to get pregnant and by then I'll be huge, haha!
Hello ladies, not sure if this is the right thread to post my question. i want to know that does time of sex affect the gender? i.e. early morning (around 4AM), morning (8-10 AM), afternoon, evening or night? i am ttc a boy.
No time of day is not a sway factor. We believe that lots of fresh sperm = boys. So when you are ovulating you really want to have about 3 tries to get as much fresh sperm as you can. Leading up to your ovulation it helps the quality of the sperm if your DH empties every 2 - 3 days.Quote:
