I am new to this swaying. I have 2 wonderful boys and I am just starting my last attempt to get my little girl! I have been dieting for the last 2 months and have lost about 15 lbs., i work out at least 5 days a week. I am planing on bd'ing every 4 days since I don't test for ovulation. I take folic acid every day. Is there anything else I should be doing to up my chances for a girl??? Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Maybe alcohol? That seems to be getting good results. Olive leaf for DH?. Sounds like a great sway anyway. Good luck!
You could also add a lube and or antihistamines:)
Thank you! I take Zyrtec everyday for allergies, but I was doing that when I conceived both boys too. 😕 DH has started taking Zyrtec too now. I will add lube too! Anything helps!! 😊

Here's my sway, maybe it will help you:
1. Diet:skip breakfast, no snacking, just 2 meals a day 1500-1800 calories. 40 G protien, 35 g fat. Vegetarian except for a little chicken once a week. Lots of processed foods, diet coke, crystal light, yoplait light, fat free fruity candies.
2. Exercise: 60+ minutes cardio 6-7 days a week for 8 weeks up to attempt, no weights.
3. Almost daily alcohol: wine or beer or spirits/mixed drinks
4. Supplements: fiber to aid weight loss, baby aspirin to aid implantation and lower ph, Zyrtec to dry up cm, and folic acid. licorice root for DH cd1-14 of attempt month
5. The attempt: bd every 4 days, trying to use second batch (in under 6 hours) alcohol, hot bath or shower, Zyrtec for both, sylk or aci jel for lube.
first step, read these; http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ete-index.html x
Thank You! I have gone through a lot of that index. It is just sooo much information it makes my head spin! :) Then I read on other threads of things changing and not getting good results it's really hard to keep track. I appreciate all the advice and all the hard work Atomic puts into this page.
I am going to add Sylk to my sway and would a beer every night help too? Or do I need to drink other alcohols or more of it. I am not a big drinker when I am home, I am more of a social drinker... although my DH loves his coors light every night! He is also on a big health kick and has been dieting for the last few months and has lost about 30lbs he has gotten really skinny! Does that sway at all??? Thanks again for the help and all the information this site has! Oh 1 more thing, I do do some weight training along with my cardio when I go to the gym, is that going to hurt my girl sway?
I have read Atomic say that anything that builds muscle can cause your testosterone levels to rise (swayimg blue) With swaying pink your trying to decrease muscle by doing cardio only (causing the Body to loose muscle mass and think its having a hard time) I'd drop the weights and do 60mins of cardio. Your sway sounds fab though! Good luck :)
It is a lot of information its taken me 2 months to concoct our sway so it works for us, I put my sway into sections and researched each bit. ie Peppermint tea I searched it to see if it was right for me. I've found that reading the other girls sway's, successful and otherwise has helped me to plan mine as well.
I don't see sylk mentioned a great deal on these forums, I saw it more on IG so I'm playing it safe and going with the majority with rePhresh which keeps your ph down for 3 days (it says on the box! :giggle:)
For drink im going for red Wine, apparently it lowers testosterone so thats good enough for me lol. I think some girls have drank beer in their sway though.
Weight training is more likely to sway boy, increasing muscle mass increases testosterone. Ideally its 6-7 days a week 60+ mins cardio. After 45 minutes your body starts to burn muscle (something like tht). Not overly sure with DH, beer will help I know that much I can only think the weight loss may as well. :think:
I have started drinking white wine...was told red wine has too many nutrients. I've also been doing my 60 minute cardio 6 days a week and I've already been taking Benadryl because I have horrible allergies. I'm still gathering all of the info and hopefully can purchase a personalized plan soon. I have been skipping breakfast which is hard for me because with my boys I was a huge breakfast person. I'm more focused on diet and exercise since I'm not planning on ttc until December.
Zyrtec works as well as Benadryl with no drowsiness, it's also effective for 24 hours unlike Benadryl.
You can use rephresh and sylk together. Rephresh is inserted to keep cm ph down, but sylk is a Lube. I just use a little to DTD since the diet and sups make you so dry down there.
hi and welcome! You are doing the things that I feel are by far the most effective and I'd just keep right on doing wha yo're doing.
I think these have been reducing odds of conception too far for people and are not getting good results, so if you aren't alreayd using them, i'd skip it.Quote:

Plus, this site is really meant more as a clearinghouse for how-to info and not "do swaying atomic's way or else" and so I prefer having the instructions on how to do lots of tactics safely even if they are tactics i'D rather not have people do. Otherwise people will just go to the other sites and do stuff that isn't safe.Quote:

Cardio is best when TTC a girl.
So i was sick for a few days and we haven't dtd for about 6 days and I thought for sure I had missed O but yesterday afternoon I started getting cramps and a pain in my left side. I am hoping this could mean I was O'ing. So we dtd last night. Hopefully I didn't miss it this month. What are your thoughts? It was cd 17 I think. But I just got off the mini pill about a little over a week ago. Do I have a chance?

Yes, there's a chance and having been sick may help too. Good luck!
Thanks atomic! I'm hoping this ttc doesn't take too long! Although I'm scared about #3 knowing it is my last chance at having my baby girl!!

Does DH taking Allegra D daily sway any at all? Or is it just if I'm taking it?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
keeping in mind that we don't KNOW as much as we like, I do believe it would sway pink.
Thanks. We will see if I was successful at ttc this month in a few days. I'm not thinking I am as it was my first month ttc but you never know. I'm just so nervous about getting my baby girl!

Well it looks like a BFP my first month trying! I wasn't expecting it this soon! But I think I had a decent sway. I didn't do everything. But this was what I did.
DH was dieting and lost about 30lbs (no weight lifting) in the last 3-4 months. I've been dieting and exercising and have lost 20 lbs in 3 months. I was doing a mix of cardio and a little weights though. I was on 1600 mcg folic acid, no prenatal. DH on Allegra d me on Zyrtec daily. And we did 1 attempt after AF and then 6 days later did another attempt since I was really hungover in between that. 😁 So I think it was only 1 attempt during my fertile period. Does that sound like a decent sway?

Congrats
Can anyone tell me if I should still be taking folic acid now that I'm back on my prenatal? I was only taking 1600 mcg of folic acid while ttc. Can I just stop it and take my prenatal or do I wean myself off of it?

I just read that coming off the bcp and conceiving right away sways pink?? Is this true? I didn't realize that! Hopefully since I was only off bcp for about 2-3 weeks before i conceived I just might have a chance! Sorry for all the questions I'm just in shock still and this will be my last baby!

you need to continue the higher dose folic thru the entire first trimester and then gradually wean off.Quote:

Thank you so much atomic!! You have been really helpful! I am getting so nervous but so excited! I even went out and bought a girl outfit just to give me some good luck. Maybe if I really believe this is my girl it will be true! 😊
