LilithWiser1979 TTC a GIRL Sway Attempt

I cheated once every couple of weeks or so. Mostly when I couldn't avoid it because we were going out with people who didn't know I was swaying or when I couldn't stop dreaming about ribs or BBQ! My cheats were RED MEAT! I got all the sugar, alcohol and starch I wanted through LE without going off the diet, so it was easy to control my cravings for everything else. I also chose not to watch salt At ALL and that made it totally doable. I ate a lot of instant noodles, which I love, and are low calorie if you get rice noodle ones.

I only ate 3 meals a day for the last 8 weeks. My second "meal" was like a snack. A couple cups of popcorn and an apple or a cup of soup or a beer and piece of toast. Just something to tide me over until dinner.

I compare it to when ultrasound that was good enough to determine gender came out. Most women were skeptical, and afraid to trust it. Now, we take for granted that our 20 week scans will tell us gender. I think the mindset over gender blood tests will be that way in a few years :)

DH wears boxers, but he works out for an hour and a half 5 days a week, and wears boxer briefs during that time. He did this same thing when we conceived DS2, so it's not a magic bullet, but then again, nothing is!

DH's still reeling (and PISSED that we'll have a newborn during our yearly cabin trip!) but I think he'll calm down in the next couple of days. I'm still in shock, but SUPER happy :)

That's great thank you! Just so I know not to get hung up if DH really doesn't want to wear the briefs as I really want to be relaxed and knowing this will help! Think I just want to make sure all my bases are covered but so don't want to become a Martha! lol!

Omg congrats!!!!!! :):):ballerina:

Huge congrats! Although I am not surprised at all, I felt sure you would get your girl. :)

Congratulations! ! Great sway!! Thank you for sharing

Did you have to pay for your Panarama test out of pocket? I know my insurance won't cover it, but I don't want to pay a fortune for it! Just planning ahead. =)

Call Natera, the company that makes Panorama, and ask how much their uninsured rate is. I think it's about $200. Insurance covered it for me because I turned 35 before my due date (advanced maternal age.)

Thank you, I will do that after I get a BFP whenever that may be.
