Ok so first pill was last night before bed and I went straight to bed and slept through so that was good, woke up feeling a bit funny but part of me wonders if it's the clomid or just in my head because I'm so nervous I'm looking out for every little side effect! I definitely have a slight headache but nothing too bad so who knows if that's even to do with the clomid. Generally so far so good but it has only been one pill. I'm so nervous about this month!
Frilly just reading your post terrifies me because I feel exactly the same, I just don't know how to move on in life without my daughter. Coming from high tech and then trying to sway is extremely hard because I feel you want to do everything perfect to achieve your dream, I'm in the same situation.
I just hope that no matter where we end up we find peace at the end of this journey and I know no matter how good the other things in life we have are, it's hard to step to the outside and look in when you feel the desperation and longing for a daughter you want so badly.
I'm thinking of you and hoping this works out for you plenty of people in my family have had babies at 41/42 so please don't give up hope! I would love to feel the contentment of having a daughter and get rid of all this anxiety, worry, stress, desperation and longing that I've felt for so long. I just hate it.
Sticking to the diet and exercise doesn't help it can be hard at times.
I don't know weather to start my clomid this month as I'm going on holiday and I will be cheating a bit but will only be there two days when I have my attempt.
Thanks Pink rose, it's all just so hard to deal with, I thought it would get easier but it's not. I'm finding the diet really difficult this time to stick to, I think it's because I feel so down I want to be able to eat nice things to make me feel a little happier. We're going on holiday soon too so I'm starting next month, if I haven't given up by then! I hope you have a lovely holiday and get your bfp very soon. X
Fx all your sways work ladies.. i found swaying more stressful than ht as you dont have control with ht.. i hope all your dreams come true..dont give up hope xxx
I think that's one of the nice things about this forum is it's a place where you can be honest about gender desire/disappointment without judgement.
I agree with the things you girls have said, I just always pictured my life with girls. My dh only wants 2 children and realistically it's a good number for us but if we have a boy I know none of the other reasons will matter and I'll want to try again. The reality is though we could have 10 kids and they could all be boys because we have no control. My dh is 100% against us going ht because although he would like a girl he doesn't feel the way I do and thinks it's far too expensive and stressful to consider.
I really hope we all get our dg, fiveboys I love your story it gives me so much hope!
Thanks fiveboys, if I wasn't too old I would definitely stick with ht as I find swaying far harder both physically and emotionally. On paper swaying looks much easier and atomic certainly makes things so easy for us to understand and follow but I just can't seem to stick to the eating this time around. I think I know in my head I'm probably not going to try again as I just can't stop eating the wrong things and I eat so much more now than I did when I was younger and had the boys. So I feel it's not likely to work as I could never go back to eating that little. I used to miss so many meals back then, sometimes only having a yogurt all day and I still managed to get boys.Quote:

I feel done from this whole thing I've have gd from I had my first son so long ago it doesn't get any easier.
I felt high tech drained everything I had I couldn't believe I give it everything I had including money and we walked away with nothing! The secrecy and everything surrounding it I found really hard I may have thought different if I'd have been lucky.
Frilly I also ate very little when I concieved my boys and did tones of cardio I'm just not sure how this is going to work for me but I can't continue on not trying, I guess I'm just looking to feel some peace and contentment from within fingers crosssed all our sways work and I've read so many perfect ones failing and more relaxing ones work out.
Try not to worry about eating treats here and there frilly I do it to but we are only human and when under pressure to achieve something so bad we mentally set ourselves up for failure to protect our emotions.
I just found this thread! I'm hoping that all of your sways are successful! After swaying and getting our beloved DS3, I believe Clomid, one attempt (via BDing E3D or E4D), and staying in the LE diet limits to be what brought us our DD. I also drank caffeinated coffee and alcohol (white wine or hard seltzer) helped too. I got pregnant the next cycle after my last Clomid dose. My RE said that Clomid takes 8-10 weeks to clear from your system.
🤞🏻so hard for all of you!!

Congratulations on your girl xx it must feel amazing for your sway to work. Were you very strict or did you take a more relaxed approach to your sway?
I'm going on holiday at the end of the month and due to ovulate a few days later, I know I will have some cheats as I will be away with family and it will be hard not to. Do you think I should keep my clomid until next month rather than take it now and cheat around the time I ovulate? Any advice girls I really want this sway to work so bad!
Thank you! I stuck to the limits but ate whatever I wanted, which was my only compromise. I had to eat meat at times because of family events or vacations. I just made sure to stay in the limits and ate mainly vegetarian. As far as cheats, I always had whatever I wanted the first 3 days of AF. I didn't worry too much about my sway, because I didn't think I would get pregnant. My BFP came 12mo after starting to TTC! Plus, my DH took forever to warm up to having a 4th child. I also had to stop exercise the cycle prior to getting my BFP due to being under too much stress of my DS2 needing surgery.
Just do what you can that gets the best results: LE diet with sticking to the limits, exercise (if you can manage it), one attempt either way, coffee, alcohol, and of course Clomid. This is a fab sway!
