Hi everyone.
Just over thinking my sway lol! Now my friend who has 1 girl and 2 boys said she got her girl by the pull out method (was her bad form of contraception)
Now it makes sense to me as lower sperm count. I was just wondering if anyone has used this as an actual sway technique? I know it will lower chances of conception more but if you didn't use any antihistamines or any other sway products than maybe it could work? Or am I just thinking like a crazy woman!!!
I didn't use it as a sway technique... I used it 2x my whole marriage as birth control! I just had my 1st girl on Sunday as a result;)
DD3 was conceived after DH pull out (not TTC) :oops:
I do think it sways pink but I absolutely wouldn't use it while TTC. dh and I used pull out for 5 years as our only bc method and had zero accidents. We got pg in the first cycle trying with DS so I don't think we have low fertility. It can be quite effective at preventing pregnancy if done perfectly so I wouldn't want to spend months on the diet while doing this and TTC.
It is how my DS was made :) so absolutely unreliable and doesnot sway pink at all, my friend got pregnant like this 10 years ago - also DS
2 out of 3 girls were conceived that way. I'm not sure that would work as a sway tactic though. The one attempt would be similar to that and you'll get pregnant easier. Atomic has said that unplanned pregnancies often result in girls and maybe that has something to do with it.
On paper it might sway pink, but it is REALLY hard to get preggo that way and certainly no magic bullet.
I thnk you'd be much better off sticking with the "heavy hitters" and getting pregnant quickly instead - Diet 12 or more weeks, exercise, one attempt, LR for DH if it's appropriate for him
:agree: There are no 100% sway tactics, so we like to stick with the ones that work the best overall and cut odds of conception the least. :) NOT pull out LOLQuote:

I think most of the time when it doesn't work, it's "pilot error" and while you can get pg that way, it's not soemthing that happens very often.Quote:
