The LAZY Swayers

Hi Ladies,

I am new to this board but old when it comes to the desire for a certain gender. I have three healthy beautiful boys, 8, 4, 1 and my husband just told me we can have one more try....Happy Dance!!!! We officially haven't started to TTC but after reading I can pretty much guarantee that the strict diet won't work for us. My DH has agreed to try any swaying efforts need without the scientific ones such as TBM...oh well at least he would try to change his diet. I am gonna try to start losing weight and make my body think its malnourished, do o+12, make sure PH is good, and take supplements. So although this is not a the most strict sway. I think it is the best for us. I do hope this gets me my DD as this is it for sure. Look forward to meeting everyone in our hope to conceive our desired gender.

Hi and welcome! Let me know if I can help!

PS - I don't think O+12 is a lazy sway at all! O+12 is HARD work!!!

Thanks so much. I have read mostly all the info that you have posted on this site and let me say wow....First where do you find the time...Secondly thanks you for all the information in ways that others can easily access it.

1) I am crazy.
2)My house is extremely dirty! :p But my older sons are very helpful.
3)I'm a fast typist! ;)

I'm so glad if it was able to help you in some way. I won't be able to keep up this pace forever but I'm trying to get as much on here as I can before I have to cut back in order to homeschool my two younger boys.

This would definitely be me! I know I couldn't stick to the diet and we plan on trying in a couple of weeks so not time for it anyway. I am cutting calories and skipping breakfast to lower my blood sugar. I cut out caffeine and trying to lower salt intake. I'm also drinking lots of distilled water with crystal light to help with ph. Unfortunately, the strips I got don't seem to work with my cm. No color change :( We have 5 wonderful boys now and I'd be happy with another but I'd so love to have a little girl and this is my last chance.

mommato5, just know that there are options available other than the IG diet. We have the FGD and my Low-Everything Diet available in the Dream Members section and those are both way easier to stick to than the IG-style diet is.

i'm with you i've not started ttc yet but i'm not doing well with my dieting at all. skipping breakfast is proving hard. mad thing is before my dd i used to eat this way without thinking but i can't get back to it.
i'm in the boat of cutting cals and losing weight and skipping breakfast, i have already cut out all caffinee and swapped it for peppermint tea. i only eat white meat now but i can't quit snacking.
i'm not taking vits or doing any douches or anything.
we are just gonna bd lots and hope for the best.

Hi and welcome....don't think you aren't swaying the odds with a mild sway, you still are! I am having to drop swaying pretty much because of male factor issues, but I still plan on doing a *few* little things each month when we try, even though it may takes years if we ever get pregnant. So don't feel down on it....lots and lots of women get their dg without doing a darn thing!

thanks hun

I think I fall into this category...I feel like my sway was so lazy it can't even be called a sway. I ONLY did the diet and nothing else...nothing at all. No douches, no ph testing, no supps, no big O before DH, not even the right deep position for boys.

I have no idea how close to ovulation we did BD (even though I was trying to work it out) because CM was almost non-existant, had no ovulation pain, and it had only been 2 cycles since my failed IVF and they were not 100% predictable.

I did what I could with the diet although I probably only got serious about it 3 weeks to a month before we actually fell pregnant so not even sure it had enough time to have any effect.
Increased salt, red meat, fat, ate loads of nuts, vegies, wholegrains and drank more water. Lowered amounts of sugar and wheat products (reduced bad carbs).

So I guess we will find out in a few weeks at the 20 weeks scan if we have our baby boy. Still not sure if we swayed at all really so just hoping we got lucky here as this is our last bub. :(
