Hi ladies! I am back after a successful boy sway in 2021!
We are looking to sway for a girl this time but will be happy with what we get :)
What are you ladies eating and how much exercise are you getting? Any info will be great!
We plan on starting to try in April as I am 41 and it took us 5 months for our little guy :)
I would lover to hear your stories :))))
Have a wonderful healthy day!
Oh exciting news Treens!!!
I would definitely advise you to be on the atomic fertility diet for optimal egg quality and you can find that here: https://genderdreaming.com/forum/gen...rt-3-pcos.html
Definitely exercise 60 minutes at least 4 days a week! Doesn't need to be super intense, walking is fine.
Is there a reason to wait till April??
I think the having only coffee for breakfast and coffee again at lunch did it for me. Plus I was vegan and dairy free. I didn’t snack, didn’t have breakfast nor did I do weights. Low fat / low protein. What did you do for your boy sway?

Amazing! Thank you so much Atomic. We are planing then because it will give me some time baby was born end of August C-section I know you are suppose to wait longer but we are ready. Also we will be going to Mexico at the end of February for 2 weeks so i think diet will be out the window with all the tacos :)) And my husband wants to be on parental leave for summer, he will get another 8 months off. So January would be the soonest we would like a little one. I am so enjoying our little guy still. But we want to be realistic I am not getting younger.
Atomic- how many cups of coffee is ok? Can they be decaf? I do use flavoured creamer but im trying to cut it out :)
Also should i just be taking folic acid? I havn't been takin anything for the last month.
I am still breastfeeding but he has bottles most of the time as I dont know how much milk i am making, he uses me more for a soother. I had breast implants so I feel like it was/is hard for me to get the let down.
Thank you the finalcountdown-- Did you just drink black?
I would just walk 5 x a week and do some weights. I tried to snack and eat lots of little meals always breakfast usually oatmeal.
Im excited to be back :)
I drank it in the morning with oat creamer then in the afternoon with this giant concoction of greens powders, soy protein and almond milk. Like 4 cups of almond milk. I used unsweetened and added stevia which I think atomic said *may* sway boy but probably not with as much as I was using. Then a giant salad for dinner…
I won’t be doing any of this for my boy sway except maybe the nightly salad if atomic approves!!
How are you feeling about another c section? I had my third cs end of July and I’m kinda terrified to do it again.
That was my 4th and I feel I recovered quickly! My kids are 21,18,9, 5.5months though. How close are your kids?
5,2, and 6 months. I want to conceive when my youngest is 12 months if atomic approves :)

oh yes if a c-section you need to wait however long is appropriate in that case.
Yes, for pink you can have regular OR decaf. I would just aim at having more than you have had in the past. So if you drink NO coffee, one is enough. If you drink one cup, then have two, that sort of thing
Yes I'd have you on folate or folic acid, 1200-1600 mcg daily. Continue this level all thru the entire first tri and then gradually wean off by spacing doses further and further out till down to one per week, then you can drop them.
They say to wait a year same as regular delivery because it’s not so much the healing as it is the body needs to get its resources back up. I do want my kids close together and #3 has been so easy from day 1 I think I could be preg while she is still young as long as 12 months isn’t too close for boy sway!

Thank you Atomic!
- What vegetables and fruit would you say is best for Girl Sway?
- Is it ok to have a bit of flavoured creamer in your coffee or should i try quit?
- As for Alcohol what is the thoughts on how much and when in the month to drink.
- When we get down to the time is it still 1x at positive OPK I am 41 will almost be 42 by then and my husband it 30.
- Does it sway to have another baby before the 1 year old mark?
Thanks again!
Whichever ones you like! We used to think that we should eat only the lower nutrient fruit and veg (like apples and cauliflower) but over time it's become clear that only the nutrients in super highly fortified foods sway (like cereal, power bars, meal replacer shakes, that sort of thing) and the nutrients in fruit and veg just don't matter.
If it's sugar sweetened I'd try to avoid it unless you're having it between meals. If artificially sweetened and very low cal, that is fine. Milk or cream is also fine. Anything with sugar added should be with a meal.
1, possibly 2 drinks a day. Whatever alcohol you prefer, we've had good results with all of them. If it's sugary have it with a meal, and honestly it's best to have alcohol even non-sugary with meals since it can raise blood sugar.
I would probably have you guys start off at e4d in the 72 hour pattern (so like Mon/Thurs/Sun/Wed) that sort of pattern. Any time that day. Start this after your period ends and carry on till you're certain you've ovulated, even if that means going all the way thru till your next cycle begins. I would do that for only two months then go to e4d plus one more attempt at positive OPK, being sure to carry on the "Mon/Thurs" pattern both before and after that one attempt you're adding.
Yes, we believe it sways pink!
Amazing! Thank you so much!
I remember your boy sway posts Treens.. how are you and little boy [emoji4].. Wish you the best for ttc girl..

Atomic knows best - just wanted to add my experience….
I didn’t eat any fruit except berries and only ate them as dessert after dinner.
I think for me skipping breakfast and the coffee was really key.
Also with both girls he and hubby dtd every day or sometimes several times a day before ovulation and he was well depleted by the time the egg showed up!

Thank you so much! He is amazing! I hope we can get a girl or even another boy version of him he is perfect! But I know we could get the opposite lol.
How are you doing? I haven't been here much but I remember you too :)
Thank you so much! When I look back at my 2 older girls I never ate breakfast and i was drinking more then not a lot but more than i do now lol. So i think that is also key :)
I hope you get what you are wishing for :)
You too! Seems to be skipping breakfast is very helpful in getting a girl! Praying for a healthy boy this time. I won’t try till July so starting to have a good breakfast and incorporate boy foods into my life. What about you?

Hello again!
I am wondering what kind of eating schedule is best. I get up at 7 bed by 10-11 hopefully lol I try for 10am, 2pm, 7pm does that seam ok, I try not so snack. I need to start tracking my calories :)
Should I be taking prenatal still of just folic? I have only been breastfeeding about 2 times a day but i really don't know how much milk i am still making I think it is just soothing for him more than anything.
For working out. Does it matter fore the 60 min of exersize does it need to be consecutive? Or can it be spit up?
Thanks again Atomic! OR anyone who replies :)
The eating schedule should be what works for YOU. As long as you go 12-16 hours overnight without eating, and don't snack every hour thru the rest of the day, you're all good. Flexibility is the key to success.
If he's taking bottles and/or eating table food then it's ok to wean off prenatal. Some people do choose to continue, or to take it only like 2-3 times a week instead.
The 60 minutes really does need to be all in a row if possible - after about 45 minutes of exercise, your body stops burning stores of carbs as fuel and starts burning fat. Something about this process sways strongly pink for reasons we don't understand.
Hey! For me I would have coffee and almond milk when I got up then not eat anything until 2/4pm which would be usually more coffee/ almond milk and some greens powders. Then dinner around 7/8. Good luck!!!!

I definitely tried to eat all the time a little bit. Didn’t skip breakfast are usually eat cereal or oatmeal did walking and a little bit of weights but not much I feel like it really is that eating breakfast.
Today is cd1 for me. We are considering trying this month. We will try that 72 hour method. Is there a lube that is OK for girls or is it best to use none?
My cycle is 27 to 30 days long it usually being 28.
treens.. did you used to eat bf straight after u woke up when u swayed for boy? i send kids to school first thing.. which take about 45-1 hour… wonder if i should have had bf before then get them ready.Quote:

ah ok thank you treens. me too.. wasn’t a breakfast person when i had girls. even now I have to remind myself now lol.
Good luck with your sway [emoji4]

Since time is not on our side here, I'd have you guys use a lube that is marked "sperm safe, conception friendly." Soemthing like Conceive Plus or Preseed. Just the minimum amount needed for comfortable intercourse is great, more than that may sway blue. I'd stay away from other lubes as they do kill sperm.
Good to know treens! Thank you! Also I remember now that I was strength training when I got my boy and none with my girls, and with him didn’t drink much coffee and when I did it was cold brew black just a tiny cup. And ate tons of blueberries! With the girls I drank coffee regular brewed- and with like half a carton of almond milk every day. And used LOTS of stevia which I read somewhere messes with your blood sugar even though it has zero calories. So first thing in the morning I would have coffee/ stevia and some type of vegan creamer then go until 2/4 pm before I’d have coffee again this time with greens powders… then dinner at 7/8 that was very low protein low fat and always vegan, zero animal products and also no coconut or palm oils. With my girls we dtd every day after my period ended until I felt drier. So like 10 days in a row! Hubby I’m sure was depleted!

Hi again!!!
I am now CD16 and I got a peek on my cheep Ovulation sticks today. We have been bedding every 72 hours since my period ended so 19th, 22nd, 25th, 28th so should again 31st tomorrow. Will that one be too late or a good time? I am also having a bit of cramping and more wetness. Or should i do both days? or stay firm on the 72 hours this cycle? When I had my boy we did 2 days before and ovulation day.
I am getting excited but feel calm about this sway. Also being the first month its not as worrisome. I am also 41 now but I really don't feel it but who knows about my little eggs they aren't getting any younger!
Thank you
I would go at least 1-2 more rounds with the e4d after this in case of delayed O.
Whether or not to add an attempt is at your discretion, I do think you'd have better chance of conception with today and tomorrow. It's your call - for best chance of pink, stick with the attempt you've had, for best chance of conception, add an attempt.
Good luck!
Treens, how are you doing?

Hello! I am doing well, enjoying the warmer weather here in Canada.
We attempted this month AF is due to arrive on Tuesday. This is our 1st month. I am feeling cramps already so Im pretty sure I am out this month. I feel like I am doing pretty good trying to stay eating more girl friendly and have lost a pound a week for 4 weeks so far so i am feeling proud. I am getting in woking out 5x a week doing a bar blend program but only 30 min but then walk for 30 min 1-3x day getting kids from school.
How are you doing? What CD are you?
You never know till AF shows! I am not cycling yet since my daughter is just 8 months. Hoping to get preg July when she turns 1 if my cycle has resumed. I started the boy diet far in advance so hopefully all this good protein and fat has “built up” a bit in my system. It seems people who eat this way for a long time get set for lots of boys! Just trying not to gain but I think I found the sweet spot to maintain. Good job on the losing weight! The girl diet isn’t nearly as fun [emoji1787]

Oh yes I was on the boy diet for I bet a year not totally strict but would be sure to eat breakfast every morning and snack throughout the day.
I had my boy the end of August but it took 5 months of trying for him so we kinda want to have a head start Dh is 30 and I will be 42 in July so my window is closing if we want another one. I would love for him to have a little sister or even a brother he is such a good boy but I know how you get one good one the next could be a terror lol. I have 4 children 21,18,10, almost 8 months. I feel so blessed with them :)
Do you have more than just your 8 month old? Is she moving around yet?
Aww what a great family! I have a 6yo girl and 3yo boy also- I really want a brother for my son. And I just don’t feel “done” yet! The little one is walking with a walker she has been truly a dream baby that’s why right after her I was ready for another! Plus my 6yo girl helps a lot with baby entertainment- well the 3yo also!
Hopefully you get pregnant soon! I tend to get pregnant easily- all of mine were one hit wonders… but had diet playing into who became what! Keep us posted!!

Hi Treens, how are you doing? Did you decide to TTC again this cycle?
Yes we will probably try lol I am CD 9 in a usually 28-30 day cycle. I think we will do the W,Sa,Tu, Fr cycling with an extra at positive OPK.
How are you doing? Did you decide to try?
That sounds like a good pattern for attempts! Yes we are trying again too lol. My cycles have been a little wonky lately, but I’m pretty sure I’m about to O because I’ve been more crampy and lots of CM. We had an attempt last Sunday and Thursday, and now DH is out of town but I’m hoping we can get one more attempt in when he gets back Monday.
Hello Girlboyohboy and The finalcoundown
How are you ladies doing?
We decided to do a light try this month we weren't going to because January wasn't our preferred month but we couldn't help but give it a little go. So we were going to do 72hr pattern but we really just ended up doing 1 attempt the day before ovulation, I ovulated i believe yesterday and we were going to do another attempt but i just was too tired. So we will see :)
I feel like i cheated a few times this month on food. I find it easy if I am home or even out for dinner but if you go to someones house its hard, I don't want to be rude! My husband is Mexican, his mom is an amazing cook but it is meat, corn tortillas, corn soups with meat. So it is defiantly hard no veggies :) we usually go 1x a week. So i just try to eat a little but she is like a pushy grandma who thinks you have never eaten in your life hahah
Hi Treens, looks like we will be in the 2ww together again! Who knows, your light tcc could be your lucky month!
I hear ya on the family and sticking to diet. On Easter my mom had a brunch with eggs and bacon and all the fixings, but I stuck to smaller portions and all was good. I had a major cheat the other day with Easter candy that has been staring me in the face over the past couple of weeks lol.
Good luck and keep us updated! 💗
