Girls i got my + today at 10 dpo. But i m so scared of my sway. It wasnt a full strict sway. I was on ig diet n then on le diet for 6 weeks in total with one or two cheat meals. I was eating 1200-1400 cal n lost 4 lbs. i m already petite with bmi of 19.
I dtd once on pos opk. Took clomid for swaying. Dh releases every third day.

Oh wow congratulations! That sounds like a good sway to me! Don't think you want your BMI to be any lower than that. 6 weeks with only a few cheats is really really good. X
Hiya.. Im in the early stages of a girl sway after my 2 gorgeous boys! I am doing the LE diet and am taking folic acid, fibre and aspirin a few times a week. DH takes olive leaf extract and licorice root. We BD every 4 days and I don't O if it is an attempt! I'm not exercising though I keep meaning to start! I am so desperate for a girl as this is my last baby but I honestly think I'm destined for boys so if the next is another ill just accept it wasn't meant to be! Xx

It's ok to feel a preference for gender. We have feelings and trying to suppress them before we have dealt with our feelings only hurts our relationships more. It took my DH until DS2 was 6mo before he began to bond with him and now that he is 2yr 4mo they are super close!! He just had to deal with his feelings on his own time, yk?
Be kind to yourself and know it's ok to be disappointed if it doesn't go the way you hope. When we sway, gender is up front and center making it challenging even for those of us that truly don't care about gender! That's how I was when I found out about DS3. I was shocked my sway didn't work and felt shell shocked after hearing the news. I've only wanted all boys but swaying made me feel ok about the possibility of having a DD. I'm over the moon about our DS3, but I would really like for my DH to have the DD he longs for.
Best of luck to you!
DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170] Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD[emoji166][emoji171][emoji166] for my DH!!
Aww glad I'm not alone!! I must admit I cried after I found out DS2 was a boy.. Despite always saying I wanted two boys and a girl! I feel so awful about that now because he is an absolute beaut and complete pleasure to look after!! Plus the fact the boys have each other is lovely as I didn't have a sister til I was 15 and always wanted one! I just want a girl for me.. For the wedding and the grandkids it's a bit different with boys? And I can't imagine boys/men wanting to go for lunch and shopping they would sooner go for a pint with dad and watch football! I may be completely wrong obviously but I can't help how I feel.
I do feel as though I'm being spoiled and ungrateful sometimes as all children are a blessing and for them to be healthy too is all I should want [emoji20] it's really not nice feeling jealous when you find out people are having girls but I do and im really not that sort of person!!
Thanks for listening! Xx

Don't feel bad poptart, there are lots of people who feel like this and I don't think we can help it. I certainly wouldn't choose to feel this way. Having a daughter is just so ingrained in our visions of ourselves, it almost becomes part of our identity and it's very hard when it doesn't happen. But none of us would change our sons for anything. I must say I'm so fed up of the lazy stereotyping that everyone, including myself, does. I'm a firm believer that you can have whatever kind of relationship you choose to have with your child. Ok, so it's unlikely my boys will want to come shopping with me or out for lunch and a gossip, BUT we can find other ways to be close and spend time over common interests. It might not come as easy as it would have with a daughter, but anything you have to work at is worth it ten fold over. I know plenty of mummy's boys who are super protective of their mums. I even have a friend whose father helped look after his elderly mother when she was very unwell with Alzheimer's - and he had a sister, but she was just not as close. X
My oldest son is so the type who would grab lunch with me and go for a stroll at some park afterward to talk about this, that, and everything in between! Just the other day he told me that he loves our walks we take to the park (I walk with the boys in the stroller for an hour and we end up at the park for them to play before heading back home.). He said he loves talking with me about stuff!
We create the type of relationships that we want with our children. We can have and do anything we want with them- the time is now while they are young!

I hope you're right! At the moment my eldest is def all for his dad.. Dads the fun one who play fights and plays football etc.. I'm the one nagging him to eat his tea and wash his hair haha but he is only 3!!!! If he is upset or hurt he tends to come to me. My littlest is def a mummy's boy so far I love it! They do say daddy's little girl and mummy's boys! Still doesn't stop me wanting to buy pink though!! My mum has consistently told me, me and my sister were nothing but grief in our teenage years but my brother was a piece of cake hardly left the house. It was us she had to and still has to worry about in my sisters case as shes 15 years younger than me [emoji4] x x

This is the first month we are TTC a girl with the sway. I've been doing a "modified" sway, with mostly exercise and supplements, hard for me to adhere to the diets. I"m on d11 of my cycle and doing the OPK. This past week, we just moved to a new place and I got a bad head cold so I didn't do as much exercise as before and forgetting my supps so I hope it might still work for me. I've been preparing for the sway since beginning of september.
We have 2 boys, too, and DH and I have already come to terms with having a 3rd boy. I really just want another baby, but when I think of the mom-daughter relationship that I have with my mom, it makes me yearn for a girl. Also, all the stuff about seeing your daughter become a mother. That's what hits me right in the gut.
What if you have sex every other day or everyday.

I know weight training sways boy but I get depressed without it. If I weight trained everyday intensely with eating low protein low cals wouldn't I be in theory making myself more Acidic and not gaining much muscle because of the calorie restriction and low protein? Would that still sway boy?
Sent from my SM-T330NU using Tapatalk
I weight trained everyday and ate only chicken and Greek yogurt for proteins. Low calories, low sodium, low carbs. Pretty much low in everything. I was training for women's physique competition so I was lifting daily but I would do double the cardio. So if I lifted for an hour, I ran for 2 hours. Etc. and I got a girl! So honestly I think you are totally fine weight training as long as you're calories are low and you stay eating more acidic low calories meals! Stick to white meats! I cut out ALL red meat. Oh I was also doing protein powder in yogurt/strawberry smoothies. :) wasn't trying to sway girl, but unknowingly did! Keep lifting! Keep those calories low and up your cardio!
Thanks Nann3r I have some hope now 😊

How are you getting on Nann? I think we will be making our first attempt in a week or so. Feeling so nervous and scared! Think may have left the age gap between the kids a bit big, so worried about coping with a baby again! Good luck everyone X
Ttc2015 same here! I'm on my last day of AF so we'll see! I'm nervous too.. Cuz mine are so close in age! DD1 just started teething and is slowly becoming hyper and mobile.. It's got me thinking of how hard this will be while pregnant! Haven't changed my mind yet though! But scares me a bit!
I had a close-ish age gap between my first and twins (had 3 under 2) and it was daunting but it was all still fresh in my mind and I felt much better prepared 2nd time round. Yes it's a bit chaotic but you aren't really getting much sleep with the first anyway so I thought it was a good idea to just go for it again and the chaos only lasts a short while. My boys now get on really well(most of the time!) and are like a little gang. It's going to be such a shock to go back to sleepless nights and breastfeeding!! I'm mostly scared about the horrible GD feelings, and how everyone will be gossiping about me getting pregnant again! It's very unusual to have more an 2 or 3 here.
Hi ...
I m planning to make an attempt in nov . I m swaying for boy ... actually i did conceive in june but unfortunately had a silent mc in sep at 12 weeks ... so i m all geared up now and getting ready to make an attempt in nov ....
I hope all the ladies trying ....get their bfp soon with their dream gender babies ....xx
Ttc2015 Ahhh I'm so worried about GD happening again.. And I KNOW people are already talking about me having a boy or not.. And once I get pregnant it'll just keep coming /: and the questions ugh.. I wish I wouldn't have set myself up for failure the first time with my outward want for a boy! That's exactly why I'm not going to find out gender till D-Day! :) so I can't hopefully try to convince people hat I don't care anymore!
And welcome goodmom! So sorry for your loss :( praying all goes great for you this time around!! Healthy baby first and then lord willing- your boy!! I want to boy too! So it's nice getting to meet other boy swayers out there! What all have you done so far for your sway??
Thx Nann3r....yes a healthy baby first ... Hope u too get ur dream boy ..m taking
Multivitamins
Folic acid
Fish oil
Vit d
Plus have started eating more red meat , fruits , vegetables , nuts etc ... little bit exercise here and there

And a few others like cassava, tribulus, l-arginine, coq10.
Been eating more red meat too! Working out daily but not like I used to. Less cardio more weights. And I'll be taking robetussin from AF - O!
Our first attempt is actually in a week or two! About to finish up AF now. I'm hoping it'll take the first time cuz I have a really regular cycle. Nothing out of the ordinary. Pretty much like clockwork! So we'll see what happens!
Great [emoji4] ... everything looks good .. All the best wishes to u .... xx[emoji173]Quote:

I know it's not recommended by most Gender Dreaming admins, but I'll probably use egg whites! Just cheaper and I can use a lot rather than have to go buy more preseed. And then lots of big O's for me! :) what's your plan for DTD and frequency and timing and such?
We are doing every other day from AF to O, and then at least 1-2 attempts on day of O!
I am not sure but this month i got a lot of ewcm sorry tmi but tht was my first ovualtion after mc ... so m just 50-50 on preseed ...
My ideal plan would be O-1, O and O+1 ... but lets see how things will be when i will ovulate ... but i hav no plans of unprotected dtd before ovulation ... dont know m just scared ...female sperms of my dh is too strong i guess lol ...
Haha yeah I'm not taking chances either before! So we are doing protected from AF - O and then 1-2 tries 12 hours or so after first pos opk!
Do you know why it isn't recommended???Quote:

DO NOT use egg whites. It's not because I work for Preseed and like making people spend money (because I don't and I don't). It is because it a) doesn't work and we get equal if not better results than the other site without them, b) cuts odds of conception by a lot and most people who used it did not even get pregnant til they dropped it c) because it can raise your pH so high right around ovulation when your cervix is wide open that you give any microorganisms in your VJ or on hubby's bizness a straight path right into your uterus where it can cause infections and miscarriages and d) egg whites THEMSELVES can have microorganisms that grow in high pH (like salmonella among others) so then that's doubly bad.
If you can't afford Preseed, no worries. Don't use it. Your own natural EWCM is much better than Preseed anyway. But please DO NOT use egg whites. Our miscarriage rate among blue swayers is so so so much less than on the "other site" and our times to conception is so much faster!
I do know the cautions with it. And I've battled with it for a long time.. I just can't afford preseed and I have no CM.. Like none.. It's not even that it's acidic or not (which the little I have is acidic) but even that aside, I'm as dry as a bone down there /: I don't know what other options I have! :(
Really I'm open to suggestions! Is there anything cheaper and safer?? So I can avoid egg whites?
Atomic while you're here-
I bought folate a while ago (not cheap) so I've been doing folic acid up till now cuz I only have enough folate to last 10 days.. Will the folate give me a a leg up than folic acid?? That was kind of my intentions with waiting to take them between AF and O.. :) for that finally boost of folate instead of folic acid!
Nann, it's entirely up to you if you want to use it. I do know many who have and didn't die or anything. I don't personally get why you'd use something that doesn't even work as a replacement for having no EWCM (I got a boy with no EWCM so it is possible), but that is up to you. The thing is, for every person who reads this thread and posts, there are 100 others who don't and this may be the only thread they read and then they decide based on your post that egg whites are a good idea when they are a terrible idea and never hear the other side. I'm not trying to b--you out, I'm really not. I have to think about the others who are reading this thread who may never ask me a single question.
If you are capable of multiple orgasms I would just have one, before hubby makes the deposit. You release more alkaline fluids with orgasm and they are a fine replacement for actual eWCM.
Nothing. Nothing is as cheap as it gets and a heck of a lot safer than egg whites. :)Quote:
