Pink possible after so much blue?

Okay well here is our story in short. My husband and I have 3 sons. Before each of them I have had a miscarriage. With my first pregnancy we conceived naturally with no meds. This ended in a miscarriage. My 2nd pregnancy (my first son) we conceived completely natural with no meds. After my first son my cycles went nuts. My OB put me on clomid for 3 months, with no luck. She then put me on femara for 3 months and we conceived cycle 1, this ended in a miscarriage. Our next cycle back ttc (using femara) we conceived our 2nd son. After his birth my cycles were still nuts. I ended up going on a diet and exercise program and lost 40lbs. During this time we became pregnant and this ended in another miscarriage. After that we decided to go back and see my ob and get back on femara again. We conceived our 3rd son my 2nd cycle of femara. Oddly enough after our 3rd son was born my cycles have been way more frequent monthly if not bimonthly. (this is huge I would go a whole year after my other 2 without one) My husband and I have decided to ttc one more time. We know with 3 boys already odds are we will have a 4th to our crew and we are fine with that...we think our little men are pretty awesome! We both still are holding out hope that we could possibly add a little pink into our life. This is how I ended up here! My husband is willing to help sway, we just aren't sure where to start! With my last 2 sons I tracked ovulation and bbt. (fertility friend) I know we bd'd on ovulation day. I keep reading conflicting things, some swear to have a girl we need to bd before ovulation and not on, others are saying it doesn't matter. I have an apt. with my ob next month and I am going to ask her to prescribe me femara again (since we had the most luck with it) and we plan to go from there. We are just looking to see what we need to do to increase our odds to seeing some pink! Currently my diet mostly consists of eating salads, garden or chicken salad, fruit, veggies. This seems to be the only way I ever lose weight! I read somewhere these are girl friendly things and other places that they were boy friendly. I know I wasn't dieting when I had all of my boys, I was eating whatever.... Any help/tips is appreciated! Please and thank you!

Hi and welcome, please give this a bump for me as there's a lot to cover here!! Glad you found us.

Thank you for the welcome! I am not sure how you bump things up? I am going to take a wild guess and assume it's by making a comment? (that's how bumps work in the fb yard sale site world anyhow!) haha sorry I haven't had the time to sit down and figure this site out yet!

Bumping for you and saying how there's always a chance for what you want! My DH came from a BBBG family, and I know several who came from that dynamic!

Thank you! We figured we never know if we don't try!

Hi
There is always a chance. I have 7 boys and now just have had my one and only girl. No real swaying either just the roll of the dice I guess
Good luck

Congrats on your little girl! I bet that is a big change from all those little boys! Did you sway at all for pink when you conceived any of your little men?

Yes to bump you just post a comment. This shows me there's a post I did not read yet and it goes back to the top of my rotation.

you always have a chance of a girl. I had 4 boys over 20 years and got a girl!!

DEFINITELY get the Femara if you can. It's a great pink sway (altho not a magic bullet as you already know) Here is a link to our LE Diet http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...l-version.html ating a lot of salad, fruit, and veggies absolutely is a good way to TTC a girl, you may need to go easy on the chicken as it has a lot of protein in it.

There are no girl friendly or boy friendly foods really. It's the overall nutrient intake of your diet that sways pink. Some people want to then additionally focus on foods that are more or less nutritious, or ones that are rumored to sway a certain way, but the thing that counts is the overall nutrient intake of your diet and not magic foods.

Do you think timing dtd matters? I looked back over my chart on fertility friend from when we conceived our 3rd son. We I have down Ovulation day being cd21 and it says we dtd in the PM. CD 19 in the pm, CD18 both am &pm. CD17 pm, CD16pm, CD15 am&pm. Should we not to dtd on actual ovulation day this time around? I also have PCOS so though my cycles have been more regular lately, they are far from predictable, on femara they are a little more predictable. I plan on using my clearblue easy fertility monitor as well as internet O test sticks and BBT. I also read somewhere on here that husbands should take LR and cranberry supplements? My husband is game to help sway so do you think those things would help? Thank you so much for the information!

Yes I did and still got boys x3

I do not think timing sways a bit and in fact it's been debunked about as thoroughly as it's possible for anything to BE debunked scientifically speaking. What does seem to sway is more than one attempt in the fertile window which you DEF had several!!! That BD on O Day was the least of your worries. :)

My advice is to not worry about timing and just have one attempt in your fertile window. Worked for me after getting 3 boys with cutoffs!! Most of us aim at having 1 attempt one or 2 days before O simply because it's a good day for conception. We can also just have unprotected sex every 4 days and this averages out to be one attempt without having to think much about it.

I can't comment on hubby's supps without knowing his age and health status - LR in particular is rather dangerous so I can't just give a blanket prescription for that. :)
