Hi ladies
Thanks for starting the thread. I am due 21 July and really want a girl.
Would love to hear what you are after and your journeys.
My journey is a strange one. Was going great on the LE diet and exercise and was just about to start trying and then randomly was in a massive accident and broke 4 bones. I had to up lots of nutrients. Fast forward 3/4 months and I started the diet again and was doing well but couldn’t do the exercise. Then work stress hit and I did 4 weeks traveling and basically ate whatever - always out with colleagues and having stuff bought for me. I tried where I could to stick to LE but impossible. That month I fell pregnant.
I’m very interest to see how my sway worked. I think I ruined it with that 4 weeks, but the other part of me thinks my broken bones healing may sway girl as my body wasn’t in top condition.
I’m not finding out until birth I don’t think. If I know I’m having a boy I’ll over think it. But if I meet him at the birth I’ll love him no matter what.

Just remember even the perfect sways fail. Nothing guaranteed. I am also thinking of waiting till birth. I’m due August 7th I’m 6 weeks 4 days today I have my first appt and ultrasound on the 29th I’m super excited. I been feeling ugh lately I have this horrible taste in my mouth all the time and nauseous
August is such a lucky month! I was hoping for august myself. I really don’t like that taste in my mouth either. It’s stopped now at 9 weeks so hopefully yours does as well.
What did you sway for?

Hi Ladies. I am 14DPO and my due date is 12th September :)
Happy to join you :). I swayed for boy
How many kids do you have and what genders?
Hi Ladies I am August 26th! Swayed for a Boy. Its going to be a wonderful Summer :)) Wish you all the best with a healthy pregnancy!
I’m joining. I’m due 9/17 by LMP or 9/19 by ovulation day. My doctor will give me an official date at my ultrasound in two weeks, but he’ll likely use LMP again. I’ve had two miscarriages in the last year so I’m anxious, but at 15DPO my HCG was 1246 and progesterone was 23.7.
We swayed for a girl, but changed my diet a little bit after the last miscarriage in November. I increased my calories and fat a little and increased my dose of CoQ10 (for egg quality due to age) at my doctor’s recommendation. I don’t know if any of the changes will affect my sway, but if I can’t get and stay pregnant I don’t have a chance anyway. Timing or frequency has never made a difference for me in terms of gender, so it’s not something I worry about. I just make sure we have sex no less than every 3-4 days leading up to O to keep the sperm cycling and then have sex at positive OPK and the next day. I’ve gotten both boys and girls with this pattern in the past.
Joining as well...I miscarried my last PG at 14 weeks and just recently looked at the NIPT gender result. It was a boy—my DG. We hadn’t been planning to try again for a long while, if ever, but after I realized the baby I lost was my son I suddenly just desperately wanted another baby. So here we are again....
Thank you!
I’m joining! Due sept 20th with another surprise. I was hoping we were far enough away from ovulation as we were still praying about having another. Instead, God just said Yes with a positive test. Our last baby was a surprise too. We have four girls so I was really hoping to sway for a boy this time. I was here for baby #3 and thought I had swayed ok but we had our third girl. We will see with this baby if we finally get our [emoji170] We are definitely done so this is my last chance [emoji23]

I’m joining! By LMP I was due aug 5, but baby was measuring small and pushed back to Aug 11! So we will see! Swayed girl! Have two boys :).
I also have the terrible taste but also includes smell! So weird!! And annoying!!
Good luck to everyone
Hi all! I haven’t been here in awhile, I was part of the Jan/Feb/March group but had a miscarriage. We were devastated and started trying again pretty quickly after the loss. We didn’t sway, I didn’t feel like I was emotionally stable enough to handle it. I just really like the community and enjoyed my due date group in 2018.
I’m pregnant again and due August 2. We have 3 little boys, ages 7, almost 5, and 2.5. I did the NIPT Panorama test almost two weeks ago and just got the results yesterday. Everything was low risk and it’s a girl! I’m beyond shocked. I didn’t think we made girls! Of course, after the initial excitement I’m now afraid to trust the results. What if I’m that 0.6% that is wrong for gender? My only consolation is that Panorama seems to be the most accurate NIPT. We are doing a small reveal for my boys this weekend, so I really hope it’s accurate (I understand the science behind the test, my emotional side is just so skeptical).
Has anyone else found out what they’re having?
Yay, congrats!!!!
I think we’re staying team green. I’m not sure yet.
That is so wonderful!! Yay for a girl after 3 boys!!!

Hey ladies, I’ll be joining in. My Due date is 24th September.. I have 2DDs, and a DS who was born May 2018. This will be our 4th one. Would love another brother for my DS. But my Girls resllly really want another sister, I’ll be happy either way.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy nine months!
Ps. Has anyone taken or know about the Peekaboo Clinical blood test?

I don’t trust Sneak Peek or Peekaboo as much as the NIPT tests done by your doctor. I’ve seen them wrong many times.

Guys!!!! I’m sooooo excited!!!
Oh my goodness!! Were you expecting TWINS?!! These will be baby # what and what for you?!! Congratulations!!

buggy girl! Congratulations!!!!! So exciting!
These are babies #8 and 9, also my second set of twins. I’ve been having dreams of twins and my HCG was really high at 15DPO. I told the tech before she started there was going to be more than one. LOL! I’m ecstatic!!!! My husband is just kind of numb. My symptoms so far have been very mild. I’m a bit tired and have low-grade nausea most of the day. That’s basically it. I feel like my pelvis is “heavy” lije I did with my other twins. Both babies measured perfectly at 6w5d and both had heart rates of 132.
Just had my first doctors appointment today. Had my first Ultrasound last Friday and I measured 9w1d exactly what I was :)
Also did my NIPT today. Can't wait to find out gender but honestly just want a healthy little bean :)
Hope you are all doing well and hope its warm were you are. Im in Saskatchewan Canada and its been in the -40's all week with the wind chill! Thinking warm thoughts!
I’m kind of disappointed I don’t get to do NIPT with twins. My doctor said they aren’t accurate, not even the brand that says they can do multiples. Meh. We were going to be team green until we found out it was twins. Now I’m not so sure.
That’s so exciting though! Perhaps you will have multiple early ultrasounds with the chance to find out then!!
Also, I feel like this group is so much quieter than my last time being here. I would love to get to know you ladies better.
Where are you from? What did you sway or are hoping for? What is your due date? And what are or have been your pregnancy symptoms so far??

I agree with you, this time round the groups are quieter. I was in the August 2017 2WW, I was hoping to conceive A DS although I didn’t really sway sway, I just tried to increase my chances of conception, in 2017 I did indeed conceive my first DS, I already have 2 DDs.
I’m due around 24th September. I’m happy either way, my girls want another sister but it would be nice for my DS to have a brother.
With the beginning of my pregnancy with my DS I had sore nipples and feeling faint and I’ve had similar symptoms this time round BUT I really don’t believe it’s anything to do with same gender. With my girls my early pregnancy symptoms were similar.
But I’ve heard lots about having opposite gender and the same pregnancy symptoms. WhT about you ladies? Anyone have similar or same symptoms with the same gender?

This is my second pregnancy and i have a DD. I have almodt the same symptom and I am currently week 8 (week 7 according to the ultrasound i had last week)
And I dont know the gender yet. Last week they saw two fetus with heart beat and they said im am 6w6d but according to my ovulation i should have been 7w4d.
Anyhow we dont have twins in the family
So, i hope one of them is a boy and the other girl. I always liked to have 2 daughters and 1 son.
But it is common that one of the twins vanishes until week 13. So lets see what is going to happen.
I get ultrasounds every three weeks since I’m high risk for multiple reasons. We swayed girl, but after the last miscarriage in November my doctor had me up my folate and add in CoQ10 for supplements. I’m concerned that may have affected my sway. I’ve been following the LE diet since my miscarriage in March (lost 35 lb), so plenty long enough for my body to have shifted to “girl friendly.” My symptoms so far have been on the mild side. I’m more tired than usual and have constant low-grade nausea. I’ve thrown up a few times, but not a lot. I’ve had a lot of bloating and gas and kind of achy stretching twinges. I’m just concerned about being able to hide the pregnancy until at least 16 weeks. I don’t want to announce any earlier than that.
That’s so wonderful. Perhaps you’ll get an early peek at the two!! Someone said the diet was clutch for them. So [emoji1695] for your girl or two!! You have two chances for that girl [emoji175][emoji175] those twinges were my first sign of pregnancy like right after conceiving. I was like “no way!” They eventually become uncomfortable/painful later on. How many do you have? I seem to show right away after having four... so hopefully you can hide it but with twins might be tough [emoji51]
We live in Utah. We have four girls and this baby is a surprise. Conceived before I got to really sway. I followed the diet and vitamins, but didn’t get to do the timing I would have preferred. We actually had a cut off which makes me nervous it’s a 5th girl. God is wanting to renew my mind though about timing. Atomic has shared multiple times and so have many others on here but when you’ve believed a lie for 10 years it’s hard to break it. Praying this is our boy. It’s our fifth and final kiddo and would be a miracle to have a son!! I mean all babies are a miracle but my heart’s desire would be to have a [emoji170] for our finale [emoji312]

I have 7 kids already, but I usually don’t show until later on. I’m hoping that holds true again this time.
Timing or number of attempts has not seemed to correlate gender for me. Last December we spontaneously decided to try for baby #8, no swaying or anything. We got one attempt in the fertile window. I miscarried at 12 weeks due to heart defects, but I recently decided to find out what baby was and it was a boy. I’ve gotten boys with sex multiple times a day, girls with multiple attempts in fertile window, etc. The only thing that has been true is that I need to have sex 1-2 days prior to O (at positive OPK) to conceive.
This group is quiet! Thanks for starting this, I love hearing others’ stories.
We have 3 boys, and my NIPT in January showed girl. We didn’t sway, I had a miscarriage in August and took it really hard. I didn’t have it in me to do a girl sway. We were completely shocked, I really thought it was a boy.
I feel the same as Bunnygirl, I really didn’t do anything different this time around than I did with my boys. We had sex every other day during fertile window, and I ate how I normally do. The biggest different might be the miscarriage 3 months earlier; maybe that affected my hormones in some way. But I’m guessing it was just pure chance.
Hope you’re all feeling okay, I’m 15 weeks today and finally able to drink some coffee again!
I miscarried in November and didn’t try until I started a new cycle in December. I was still following the LE diet, although my doctor advised me to increase my folate and add in CoQ10 after the miscarriage due to age. I saw elsewhere on here that neither of those sway, but I can’t help but worry it ruined my sway in some way. I just felt like I was going to have twins after my last miscarriage. It was weird. I’d seen some butterfly hair bows on Amazon while looking for a birthday gift for my daughter’s classmate and decided I wanted to buy them for the baby girl I was trying to have and a little voice was like “You have to buy two sets for twins.” So I did. I found out I was pregnant the day after the bows were delivered. I’m hoping it’s a sign, but I try not to read into things and drive myself crazy. I’m afraid to find out what we’re having. My husband is dying to find out. As of now the twins appear to be dichorionic, diamniotic, which means they are most likely fraternal, but my husband is hoping we’re in the 20% with di-di identicals. He wants identical girls.
