This is my one and only sway at ttc a girl. I wondered if people who have swayed and failed wouldn't might sharing what they think the reason may have been (if any) to help those of us currently swaying. Obviously I understand that sometimes you do everything you can and still don't get your DG, I'm just really interested in what people would do differently if given another chance. Thanks in advance for any replies :happy:
Good question! I failed at my sway for a girl. I used purely the shettles method - did frequent BD every day from AF to four days before o (four day cut-off). I am doing the opposite this time with abstain and bd/tbm day before o, and maybe will do day of o as well. But just once or twice as I think the build up of sperm (in the vagina after repeated bd) gives the boy ones an advantage. Also, i am doing sudafed to dry up some excess ewcm (i seem to produce a bit) and diet and supps. I am hoping this will be enough! Not that i regret having my DS in the end - he is just the light of my life! ;)
i have swayed 3 times for a girl....
the first time i did the french gender diet for months and was eating no white flour because i thought at the time thats what it said and no sweets of any kind. i lost 11 pounds which is a ton for me. and i got my girl.
with my next baby after her i was going to do the same thing i did with her but i got pregnant the first month and was only on the diet for maybe a month.
with my last baby i was only the ingender diet for months. i had got pregnant and was doing everything (strict diet, lime, lots of bd, cut off) but had a m/c and then gave up on the lime and bd on ovulation day. i was cheating here and there on the diet but i think the main thing was that i wasn't losing weight and i was eating late at night before bd.
MOMMY DUKE can i ask what other factors you did with your dd apart from french diet, timing ect? and what you think were the most important things?

I have to say I have no idea whatsoever why it didn't worked for me...everyone thought I will get a boy for sure. ( not me of course)
I did everything right even MSU . There was no full moon but please...to say I didn't get a boy because of the full moon was missing it's ridiculous. And I don't believe it for sure.
So really wth Im doing here ttc again? don't know...I will ttc in Oct. IF...maybe I change my mind.not sure

Flava, will you be changing your approach this time?Quote:

If i dont get my bfp this month then will continue with diet, supps sct and just dtd when i feel like it next month, its becoming such a chore i dont want it to be a strain and take the fun out of it!! Dh knows why i want it all the time instead of being more spontaneous lolQuote:
