Hi I've been lurking for a while, and have finally decided to chime in! I'm hoping to find a few buddies that are planning on ttc a boy later this year or even beginning of next year? We have a 3.5 yr old girl and a 1 yr girl. I'm still nursing and we don't want to even start trying until this little one is closer to 2...
I do plan on buying a customized plan when it gets a little closer to when I'd be starting the diet!
Anyone else in the same boat and want to chat!!?
:babym:
Good luck and blue dust!
Currently pregnant with a girl and hoping to start trying for a boy once this baby is 6 months old :X hoping to breastfeed and know atomic says both of these things sway pink, but I also was like 95% swaying girl last time unintentionally, and hoping how fast I got pregnant points me more towards blue next time!
Thank you Atomic! I'm a total stalker of these threads, and I'm excited to work with you when the time comes!!
Throwaway Panther, how far along are you!? Congrats!! Is this your first baby? Little girls are so great! Let's talk more! :)
Atomic, do you put much stock into the whole "more boys are born in the summer thing?? We have a November baby and a January baby, both girls, and part of me wants to give it a go in September, October and November to aim for a summer baby. I have sooo many friends that have summer boys!
@AMS: I was really hoping for the past month the thing about summer boys wasn't true. My boys are from June and September. Well, our little girl will be born in July, so I think your diet is weigh more imortant. Good luck!
It's a good study, so I do put some stock in it, BUT even the study found it was only a few percentage points. I think you're best off planning to sway when it is right for you and your family and just sway your little heart out. I have 2 boys in "girl months" and got my girl in a "boy month".Quote:

My daughter on board is due in June, and was conceived in September ;) As was my own mom!Quote:

We may be TTCing at the same time, although my attempts and sway will need to be über stealth. My DH can't bear to get his hopes up again, but I'm going to give it my all this time.
FX and take all my blue baby dust- I have loads [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]!

Well I would love to gift you all of my pink dust!! Even though we will be swaying in opposite directions, I'll be rooting you on!! My husband is 100% fine with having a third girl(he just has never cared either way) so I feel like the weirdo that is just so obsessed with having a boy, I just can't let go of the thought of never having a son.
I'll take every speck I can, haha! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help! Before my DS3, I led a classic boy lifestyle so I can offer advice and support if you need it! Don't feel like a weirdo- the heart wants what the heart wants!Quote:

It's just my DH has deeply longed for a DD that makes me want to give it another shot for him. He doesn't want to get his hopes up again, so I'm having to sway and TTC undercover!

Even though I have not actively swayed at all (not even for fertility! it just... happened, haha!), I feel like the diet really, truly can play a role. I was such a textbook pink diet, no wonder I'm having a girl -- it might really, truly be the difference. Or at least, that's what I'm hoping when I start swaying blue (which, honestly, I've already started eating for in pregnancy!)Quote:

XXforhubby, Awww don't feel that way!! Do you mind if I ask how hardcore you swayed with your failed sway? I was definitely text book girl diet with both of mine. I never ate breakfast, was always on the run and not caring if I was eating healthy or not. And with both of my girls I had literally just started running(hardcore, like training mode) again and probably shocking my body.
I'm still nursing dd but am at the point where I'm not enjoying it anymore and she's over a year so I'm slowly starting to wean. Since having her I have made a lifestyle change with my eating(nothing to do with swaying) lots of fruits and veggies and a big egg and veggie scramble every morning! So I'm hoping this gives me a nice foot forward for when I do start the actual HE diet!!
I did sway hardcore at first. Then when I didn't get a BFP, I kept tweaking things. Eventually I increased a supplement I had been taking (for non-swaying purposes), because I read it helped with egg quality in older moms. It messed up my fertility! I basically had to eat more protein and fat, take vitamin D, and CoQ10 just to conceive. I believe that my constant micromanaging my sway, and all the above contributed to my precious DS3!
I'm feeling more and more like my family is complete. I have days where I want another baby. I think it's just what happens when baby making days are dwindling- it's a gradual process for me. Looking into my DS3's eyes this morning tells me I could be good with the way things are. I haven't felt this way up till now.
FX and GL with your sway! I'm not sure if I will TTC or not. If I do, it will have to be uber stealth! Regardless, please take my blue baby dust, it's the rambunctious and super snuggly with mama kind [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]!

I just wanted to chime in....I've been waiting for someone to start a thread for TTC late 2016/early 2017 haha. I have two boys and I would love to experience raising both genders. I want to start TTC for a girl in November so I plan on starting the LE diet in August. I've been on the pill for almost 5 years and I'll come off in November so we can catch the first egg. I want to wish everyone luck and a healthy baby!!! FX that we all get our DG!!!
xxforhubby, thank you so much for the kind words!!
Ahorn, thank you! And good luck to you also!! We plan to start trying in October I think!!
Hi there we are hoping for a spring 2017 baby & im thinking of swaying Girl:pinksperm:
Have any of you ladies ever looked at the chinese gender calendar before deciding which months to aim for ? Aswell as your sway obv x
Chinese gender chart DOES NOT WORK and it has caused tons of unneccesary stress and despair for people.
DO NOT postpone your sway for stuff that does nothing.
If the Chinese gender chart was accurate I would have two boys instead of two girls haha.
I would have two girls and a boy instead of three boys, if the Chinese Gender calendars were accurate!Quote:

Yup, I'd be having a boy too if the Chinese calendar was right!
Hey guys :) we are considering a sway next year though not too sure when! Good luck everyone! Hope to be joining a due in group with some of you soon! Xx
I am here, I am here!! (like a who in Horton hears a who, haha)!
So glad this thread was made! Just catching it!! We just welcomed DD3 in October, she is truly wonderful- a smile that would melt you to pieces!!
We plan to sway blue! If all goes well, we will be ttcing in August- November time frame. We will be moving from South Korea to Louisiana in June (it has been pushed from May to June, already). If we don't catch an egg or something goes awry than we will wait for 2017 same time frame. We just have too many months we're trying to avoid due to holidays and other birthdays. DH is onboard but more worried about our move back to the states right now... finding a place to live, shipping our car, hotels, flights, visiting family... the jet-lag (aahhh!). So, once that's behind us we'll have more definitive timeline and less stress!
I am now a dream member and bought a custom plan! So so helpful! I am in pre-pre swaying stages. More cardio & weights, I have lost 15inches, and only 4 pounds (more muscle!) since Jan 1st! My diet has certainly changed! I normally only eat like 1500-1700 cals a day. I've been averaging 2000!!! I actually had coconut water for the first time on Monday and have been making my Shakeology drinks with it (and almond milk). Yesterday, was my first time buying an avocado! lol I made avocado salsa, yum for nachos!
Good Luck to everyone!
PS... My only son was conceived in the "girl zone", haha, born in Jan (due in Feb). DD1 born in August, DD2 born in December, and DD3 born in October (due in Sept). My mom, my sister and I are all July babies, but so is DH. Also, the gender calendar is literally wrong for all my kids lol!
Good luck with the move! Sounds very stressful but once a plan is in place hopefully everything will slot together nicely :) we could end up being sway buddies and it's nice to have someone swaying opposite! Best of luck with it all xx
Hi!
Happy to have some swaying buddies! Pink or blue! We are still on board for ttcing September through November! Will be buying a plan soon! So exciting!!
That is quite the move, bre cooper!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! It is very stressful, but we are all used to it :/. Our 6th move in 11 years. DH and I met when we were both Active Duty Army. I got out and he stayed in and we've moved all over the place, collecting children as we go, haha.
Looks like we will be swaying around the same time (god willing)! If you have any questions I am sure AMS and I can give you some good tips swaying girl & I am giving all of my pink dust away! <3 Good luck to everyone!
Hello! I am also fairly new here and we hope to sway blue this summer fall. I am trying to get as much info as possible before we make our attempt but would love to get to know some other blue swayers :-) Also the chinese gender chart was wrong for dd1 and right for dd2 :-)
XXforhubby, are you ttc now!?
Bre cooper how about you??
I am still nursing, down to only two sessions now though and really want to be done done! I just bought a custom sway plan and am SOOO excited to get it and start ttc blue!! I'm thinking we are still in it for September through November but I guess that will depend on how weaning goes and how I feel my sway is at that point! I'd love to have some ttc buddies!

Hey friends!! Hoping I can jump in on this board too :) We're planning to TTC a girl end of 2016 (like no earlier than Nov/Dec) or early 2017. I'm pretty excited and am in pre swaying stage as well. Trying to make some changes now... Skipping breakfast (NOT easy for me I've always been a breakfast person), adding in fiber, cutting down meat intake, etc. The no snacking thing will be killer as I love my snacks. Yea, I've pretty much always had a textbook boy-friendly lifestyle, and as such, I have two beautiful, perfect little boys :) Hoping for just one little girl to complete our family!
Hi just saw this. Well we had to push it back a bit because life you know ;-) I am getting my IUD out this month then I plan to try and wait a couple months then start more in the fall. 3 years is a decent gap right lol.Quote:

I'm just thankful he has given me until then! I'll also feel whatever happens is meant to be. We've been having well timed BDing since March.
FX and GL to you!!
