Things that make me feel great about my sway: lost half a stone nearly,was relaxed on night of attempt,no snacking,conceieved this time in hot/warm summer time where as my boys were conceived in colder months
chinese gender chart says girl-was right with my other children
didnt have as much ewcm as usual.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: i wasnt (and never will be) my lowest weight as with my 2 boys i was underweight and struggled to put weight on even though if i remember correctly i ate loads. (think i was around 7 stone,maybe even less with my first) how i didnt produce girls then i dont know???
not sure that i did enough regarding cutting down on meat.i would have liked to have gone vegetarian but i didnt have the willpower.
i just dont think i will be lucky enough to conceive a girl for some reason,i am not getting my hopes up at all.
also conceiving on first month-first attempt makes me think we didnt reduce fetility/sperm count enough.
The fact that i didnt do any exercise worries me too
Things worth mentioning: If we do have another boy i will be disappointed and i probably will have a cry but i know nothing can break the bond between mother and son,and whatever gender we get will be given to us for a reason x
