Could use some help

I'm feeling pretty upset with myself

Why do I care about gender??? I've got both. So what's my malfunction?!?!?

I really would like another girl. Everyone in my life is popping out girls and it just makes me feel like my odds are that much worse now lol

I had surgery in October not sure if anesthesia or anything would effect the sway but it's been months so maybe it's not a concern?

Following my surgery my ob gave me a pill to postpone my period during recovery.

I was recently on the zpack (last month) for a cold (antibiotic) does this sway?

I never eat breakfast but I have not recently lost any weight

Maybe we should just wait a while and see if this massive gender obsession goes away?

I also have only ever had diet drinks for as long as I can recall.

My cm ph 3 days post last day of bleeding is 5.5

Thanks ❤️

Should say could, not pups ��������

I also want to mention that my cycle is usually 34 days.
I'm worried that's not good for a girl sway. My period lasts 6/7daysbbut the first and last days are light spotting only.

I had to have iron infusions the end of September due to being severely anemic

The length of your cycle shouldn't impact anything, as long as there is no underlying condition.

I've never messed around with pH, because I just don't think it works and I've seen so many people get really obsessed with pH and get an opposite.

No idea about antibiotics, but if you take probiotics (I usually do to prevent the post antibiotic yeast infections), that seems to sway blue.

I get what you mean about everyone having girls. I only have boys, and I'm the only person of my friends without a girl. All of my family who lives nearby has just girls or mixed gender.

I changed it for you. we get some weird spell corrects around here.

Gender desire seems to be at its core, about a "dream family". For some of us this means more than one boy or girl. this doesn't make your GD wrong or unjustified. The heart wants what it wants. It doesn't mean it isn't a good idea to keep challenging your obsession, or that it isn't something you can rise above over time, just that you shouldn't beat yourself up for your feelings.

What other people are having says nothing about YOUR odds. Many of us have thought the exact same thing - OMGosh everyone is having a girl, I can't possibly have one, only to end up having one anyway.

The stuff that happened back in Oct. doesn't matter. I don't think antibiotics last month could possibly sway either.

Your pH is supposed to be low at that point in the cycle, I'm not even sure any more if pH tells us anythign anyway. You need to check pH at ovulation (and even then we aren't sure it tells us much)

:agree: :agree: :agree: about pH. We don't do it as much on this site but when I was back on Ingender, people would get utterly obsessed (in a borderline crazy way) about their pH and yet still go on to get opposites even with "perfect" pH. I will tell you, there is nothing like getting a boy with pH of 4.5 that never changed till after I was already pregnant to make you doubt pH! I then went on to get my girl without testing it at all.

Your cycle has nothing to do with the gender you're going to have.

I do want you to take supplemental iron if you go on a sway diet. 30-60 mg 3x a week. Avoid the ones in hundreds of mg as they may upset your stomach and are not well absorbed.

Thanks so much for your dedication and compassion to others!
