Found out I'm having a girl!

Hi! I wanted to update my sway thread but I can't find it.

This is my 3rd pregnancy, 3rd girl sway, 2nd successful one (btw I think it's interesting that my success rate of 66% is what I read that the overall success rate on this website is).

Also, my two girls were conceived on O day, and my boy was two days before O, so no Shettles for me! Ftr I don't believe timing sways at all -- I'm not advocating trying for O day for girl sways.

All my sways were a little different, but in a nutshell -- yay for Clomid and breastfeeding, boo for j&d (even though not really boo because I'm so glad I had my son now that he's born).

Good luck to all of you ladies and thanks for the support!

I got pregnant 10 months after giving birth, I was breastfeeding my boy, and had used Clomid to get my period back because I was too impatient to wait for it to come naturally, but I didn't get pregnant ON Clomid (got pregnant on a natural cycle two cycles after stopping Clomid, so I don't factor Clomid into my sway except for it helping spur on my period before my body might have on its own). I had been exclusively breastfeeding, but about the month before I got pregnant my milk supply went way down and I only had a little bit left. Also I had lost a lot of weight breastfeeding, all of my baby weight + like an additional 5 lbs (I'm short so that's a lot for me, lol), but for the past 1-2 months I had gained a few lbs back but still under what I was before getting pregnant with #2. I'm a vegetarian, but other than that no special diet because I don't have the discipline.


Exercise wise -- I was getting at least 10,000 steps a day, so decent, but it wasn't structured exercise.

We did 1 attempt with AI (DH provides sperm in a cup, I use a 10 cc syringe to squirt it in my vag) (Note, I also did this with my boy sway plus j&d and got a boy. I definitely wouldn't recommend this if DH was even a little put off by it. In our case, DH gets performance anxiety when he knows we're TTC, so this actually calms everyone down but YMMV.)

If I forgot something, I'll add later

Do you think the clomid affected your milk supply? I'd like to give it a try when DS3 is around that age too, but I wouldn't like to stop breastfeeding.
What dose did you have?

So exciting!!

Thank you so much for sharing your sway! Vegetarian I hear is also a great way to go if you are not up for the actual le diet girl sway. Did you eat any meal at all? I’ve been going vegetarian with the PCOS le diet too except I have had meat a few times when I was with family but otherwise I don’t eat meat on the day to day when at home. I’m going to be taking provera or something similar to induce my period soon and then take clomid once I get my period. I’m also breastfeeding my 11 month old son. Was your diet/lifestyle much different before you conceived your son?

All the very best with your pregnancy! When are you due?

It didn't right away. At least for one or two months after taking Clomid, I still had a large milk supply. I'm not sure whether it had a longer term effect though, because I was planning to keep nursing for a long time (I loved it) but my supply seemed to suddenly drop off around 9 months and I'm not sure what was the cause. It dropped off before I got pregnant, so can't blame the pregnancy.

I was still using Clomid that was prescribed to me back in 2016, it was technically expired but I read online (maybe here) that expired Clomid just means it *may* be less effective and not that it becomes toxic. It was 50 my but I only had one dose of 50 mg and one that I had cut in half from the second time I tried to get pregnant, so 25 mg. So when I decided I wanted to get pregnant and still hadn't had my period, I took 50 mg, ovulated but had a 5 day luteal phase then got my period, then I took the 25 mg, ovulated and again had a 5 day luteal phase, and then I was out of Clomid, but ovulated on my own, had a normal luteal phase but didn't get pregnant, then ovulated on my own and got pregnant.

I'm vegetarian because I don't like meat, but occasionally I will eat it if I need to to be polite or if I am starving and that is absolutely the only thing around, but that only happens a few times a year.

My diet was about the same when I conceived my son, but I was jogging a few times a week then. Altogether my diet and lifestyle were pretty similar when I conceived all 3 of my children. The biggest difference was seasonal, but if more boys were conceived in the summer and more girls in the winter, I think people would have figured that out by now so I think that's coincidence.

:agree: yes old clomid just may possibly become weaker, it's not harmful
