We are planning on TTC our 3rd and final baby April 2016. We are going to try and sway for a girl as we have 2 beautiful boys already and would love a girl to complete our family.
Is anyone else waiting a little longer to TTC? Its a long wait to I'm hoping to make some friends during the wait to help pass the time :cool:
Hi I am! Sometime early next year possibly late this year but I don't see that happening so more than likely next year! We can wait it out together! :)
Yay, foxymrsg!!! We can help each other pass the time quicker. Our original plan was to try this year around may or June but things changed and we decided it would be better for us to wait.
I see you also have 2 boys and are hoping for a girl. Did you sway for either of your boys? We didn't. I didn't know anything about until recently and figured we would try our hardest one last time for a girl.
Me too. Probably more like summer of 2016 but I will start my sway diet early in the year.
I also have 2 boys. I didn't know much about swaying but I did hear about timing and aimed for "boy" timing with my first. Now I'm hoping to sway for a girl.
Hi babypinkno3! How old are your boys? We plan to start sway diet in early January after the holidays. Then start trying April or May.
I've been just trying to research as much as possible in the meantime. I can't believe how boy friendly my diet has been though. No wonder I have 2! Haha.
My boys are 2.5 and 8 months. And yours? I love meat and potatoes so I wasn't surprised how much I follow the boy diet. I've been wanting to follow a healthier lifestyle to if nothing else at least I will be eating more veggies!
My oldest is 3, turned in December. And our "baby" is 20 months. He will be 2 in August. We liked our close age gap and wanted our last one just a close but life got too hectic and lots of changes with work that we decided it was better to wait.
With my oldest we got pregnant a few weeks after getting married and our second was a bit of a surprise even though we were trying. But I'm a high stress person by nature so I believe that attributed to us having boys. High testosterone. Or at least that's what I'm blaming it on. Working on being calmer and less stressed.

Same here. I'm hoping to gather other materials like rock salt lamps, water fountain, lavender, etc that are supposed to sway for girl but if nothing else at least it will help me relax. I'm also breastfeeding and just started taking the mini pill which I heard sway pink but I'm going to double check. I've wanted to stop BF but I keep thinking it will help my chances of a girl! Lol (horrible I know! Haha)
That's funny you say that breastfeeding sways girl. I've thought that too. Not sure it's true though but majority of my friends that got pregnant with a girl was breastfeeding their last child.
I'll have to look it more. Though I weaned my last in November so I guess it doesn't matter much for me. Haha.
Me! I'm new here but hoping to start trying for a girl in early 2016. Love my gorgeous boys, born in 2011 and 2013 with no swaying.
Hi amyanne, your boys are the same age as mine! Will #3 be your last? It's ours so I'm gonna put all I got into my sway. When do you plan to start your diet/sway?
Hi Haking! Yes, most likely our last. I'd love to start trying in January but I worry that I could never stick to a diet over the holidays! So most likely I'll start the diet in January and start trying in February or March! How about you?
I plan to start the diet in January right after the new year and stick to it for a couple months and probably start trying in mid April or May. We are going to Maui in March so I don't wanna try too soon after coming back since I'm not too sure how closely I can stick to the diet while on vacation. So most likely we will try my first cycle after the April one.
It's kinda a long time to stick with it but like to think that if I want it bad enough I can stick with it for a while. My DH is being super supportive and trying to understand it all too. Though I doubt he will alter his diet too terribly much.
Hi ladies - I'll be trying for my third and last early next year. Same time frame as you Haking. And our boys are basically the same ages too. I didn't sway with them, I didn't know anything about it. It wasn't until DS2 that I realized how much I wanted a DD. Good luck to us all!
I had my DS3 earlier this year and will try for a girl one last time. I've swayed for a girl with all my boys, but used Shettles method with DS1 and DS2 which obviously didn't work. I found this site after DS2 was born but decided to have a little break from making babies :) Then I had a personalized plan made for me and tried my best with the sway but ended up with DS3. Bad luck I guess. He is adorable though and couldn't imagine life without him now that he is here. But my girl dreams haven't gone anywhere, quite the opposite! We'll try for #4 sometime next year I think. It seems some new "methods" have come up and some of them have been dropped out since my last sway so there is still hope... One option is the HT but I'm not sure if DH finds it all too extreme. I'm on mini pill at the moment and breastfeed my little one. Let's see if I can keep on going on those and include them in my sway. Last time I was a couch potato but next time I'm planning to do the exercise sway. Good luck to everyone!! Hopefully we'll all get our DG!!!

hi hi i will be trying for a girl early next year, got a 6 month old baby boy already :) just stopped breastfeeding so i hope i kind of get a cycle back soon. my husband is supportive and willing to do his part but i think he thinks I'm slightly nuts being on the pc researching
one of my friends has had 4 kids in 5 years ... first one was a girl and the others all boys , she got pregnant within 2-3 month of giving birth every time and she was breastfeeding every baby till about 1 year ..
so it kind of didn't work for her and she is pretty skinny too
Hi everyone!! We're also probably gonna try our girl sway early next year :)
I have a 3.5 yr old DS and a 1 yr old son.
I'm not sure on when exactly we'll start TTC yet. Probably around Jan-Feb, so I would have to start the diet around Oct... I'm also just not sure I can stick to it during holidays!! I love food [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
My first DS we tried shettles (more or less lol) and with DS2 I tried the ingender girl diet, but ended up not being able to not salt things, so te diet didn't go great. But I did follow the vitamins and 0+12 and pH thing.
I'm excited to try this new diet with exercise. My husband and I are both dying to have a girl, but it seems like we are awesome boy makers hahaha I it doesn't work, at least we know we tried everything we could!

Hi ladies! I'm currently pregnant with our sweet DS3. We swayed girl but my fertility tanked due to a supplement I was taking (not for swaying purposes but increased dose due to a study saying it improved egg quality). I ended up having to switch to Atomic's fertility diet (has a bit of meat to eat), vitamin D, CoQ10, and zinc. No wonder we got an opposite!!
Anyway, my DH longs for a DD. I'm only giving him 1 year to TTC and then we are done. So I have to wrap mind around the possibility of having two kids super close in age [emoji16]! We will start by not trying and not preventing until this little guy is 3-4mo, and then we will have better timed BDing. For the first 2-3 mo I'll be using repHresh, Aci-jel, and Sylk as a lube to try and inhibit conception. Then we will stop the RepHresh.
My sway will be simple: LE diet or LE PCOS diet, exercise, BDing every 4 days, and fiber before fatty meals, a little bit of Sylk or Aci-Jel as a lube if needed, and that's it!!
I'll be looking forward to chatting with all of you!!
Hi ladies!!! I plan on swaying mid 2016...maybe around the summer months so I will start the LE diet around March or April. I just want to wish everyone good luck and hope they get a healthy happy baby of their DG.
Count me in. We are waiting an unknown time to TTC again. We haven't had the greatest year. Had to have surgery and a methotrexate injection on Saturday due to ectopic pregnancy. I don't know how long my doc is going to say to wait but from what I understand you have to wait 3 months after methotrexate before TTC'ing again, and I'm not sure how I feel about getting preg this year again anyway. So, we are prob looking at January or February before we can/will TTC again.
I'll be hopefully having first attempt in
Feb too !
Sorry to hear about ur eptoopic hope you are ok . U have enough time to start a light sway For Feb which is good xx

Yeah, not looking forward to getting back to swaying, lol. Won't be doing much sway wise though. A healthy preg is far more important to me and hubby. Probably just a light LE.Quote:

Well I'll be seeing a few new and familiar faces then! As soon as this sweet baby boy is born, we will be NTNP at 8 weeks, and then moving onto better timed BDing once he is around 3-4 mo old. I only want to give my DH until Dec. 2016 to TTC. I'm a little nervous at the prospect of having two closer than 2.5yrs apart, but I love babies and raising children! I'm going to use repHresh for the first three months PP and a little Aci-jel as a lube to make it harder to conceive along with LE diet and exercise.
Two- I am hoping and praying that all you have been through yields your much awaited DD to transmute the hardship into your sweet rainbow baby [emoji8][emoji304][emoji703][emoji175]!!
DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170] Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD[emoji166][emoji171][emoji166] for my DH!!
Hi ladies! I am currently taking a much needed break from TTC. Dh and I have been trying for baby 2 (and hopefully 3!) since Jan and I have been on the le diet since nov of last year. I've decided to take a little break after last months bfn. I kinda fell apart :( it was my first cycle on clomid and even though I know it's not a magic bullet, I really felt that I was finally pregant. So both DH and I agree that a rest will do us emotional and mental good :) we plan on maybe trying again around Christmas and if not definitely in the new year! I'm hoping and praying 2016 brings us all get our sticky beans!
Hi,
Going to hop on this!! Going to ttc in 2016, not sure exactly when going to try do exactly the sway I did last time which resulted in my DD! I was on diet for 12 weeks so plan being on it 12 weeks again
Welcome FunkyFry! Have you started the le diet yet?
I had a Drs appointment today to discuss my last cycle (which was my first on clomid). I was particularly interested to know if I did, in fact, ovulate as I never actually got a +opk. He said he definitely thinks I did because they like to see a progesterone level of 10 in a normal, ovulating woman, 15 in a medicated cycle (like mine was) and my result right after ovulation was 160!!!! I couldn't believe it, my jaw dropped and I just about fell over :) he did say he was a little surprised that I wasn't pregnant but did note that right before AF my progestrone dropped to 140. He went on to say that he thinks clomid is working great in my case and thinks I'll be pregant before I finish the 3-month clomid prescription he gave me!
The high progestrone explains the very vivid pregancy symptoms I was having (and makes me feel less crazy!) I feel like now that I kinda have an idea of how my body handles clomid I'll be able to relax and not stress :)
How is everyone else coming along in their swaying? Do you still have to figure out a sway plan? Start exercise and/or diet? Or are you waiting until the new year?

Lol thanks so much! It really was a perfect sway and resulted in my dd!! The personalised plan was so worth it and atomic was brilliant! Going to follow that plan again!! Fingers crossed it works a second time! Right now if i concieved I would probably have a ds as totally swaying blue!Quote:

Funky Fry - at last!!!! You are in the same position as me. I have 2 beautiful boys and a precious pink girl in the middle. I tried an IG girl sway months ago and got a BFP in June, but miscarried in August. I am now here on GD and planning a diff girl sway for Jan 2016 as I really want to give our DD a sister as I grew up with sisters and just want that for her, and her brother's too of course. I would love to have a look at your sway. Do I find your sway in the sway section somewhere? Thanks and good luck for getting your DD#2. :)
Hi 1moregirl I've looked at funkyfry sway u just click on the username and then posts and find the sway there !
Great sway hoping mine goes the same way xxx

I like to read successful sways like I used to love reading a new magazine!!!
Actually have bookmarked several on my tablet to read over! Pahaha, what on earth has become of me??!
It's nice to read successful sways, especially when you hear of people who's sways have failed. They keep me hopeful! X
Yes me too.
It's hard as they're so many sways and they all include different things !
Some people don't exercise some people take calcium / mag some don't some take vitex !
Just hoping what I'm doings Working! X

Yeah I know what you mean! Some sways , even recent ones still have things like magnesium, vitex and calcium in them and I wonder why. I'm sure, everyone has reasons though.Quote:

Hi I've been using opk's this month to try and monitor my ovulation for when it comes to dtd and I've had negative outcomes everyday twice a day they're clear blue ones aswell I paid extra to have the smiley face ones so it's easier but apparently I've not ovulated this month..
Shall I spend out on more kits? Just buy cheap ones? Or just not bother?
I'd prefer to still have a 1/2 day cut off if possible it's just what id like to do xx
