RE's opinion on swaying

[Emery]

I'm going back to my RE for Clomid next week. I want to ask her for help swaying without going high tech.

Has anyone asked their RE to assist in swaying and if so what was their reaction?

I personally have told very few about what I'm up to. I don't need people saying "oh that won't work", "It's just old wives tales" or "see I said it wouldn't work" if I get another girl. You're not doing anything dangerous so imo why risk having your RE tell you why bother.

3PNB - wanna trade DHs? ;-)

RE, OB, for me it seems all the same. My OB had no clue what I was talking about, the Dr who did my 20 week scan laughed when I told him that I timed BD'ing, (although that obviously failed because I wasnt really sure when to actually BD, and I had a lot of pink factors going for me), no one I spoke to puts any stock in swaying so I will keep it to myself so no one thinks I am a lunatic.

My experience has been that people delight in failure so I chose to keep it to myself as much as possible. Weirdly my OB was one of the few very supportive people in terms of my GD and actually prayed with me in his office that I would have a healthy baby and peace of mind about gender but I still didn't mention a word about swaying to him.

I have a funny story about "trading husbands", I had just found out about my 4th boy and I ran into my neighbor who just had her 3rd girl at the grocery store. I jokingly said, "We should trade husbands!" and she went really red in the face and said, "I don't think I'm into that." I guess she thought I was suggesting we all become swingers or something!!! Ya know, because I always bring stuff like that up in the produce aisle at the grocery store!!

Atomic too funny!

I have another question. I recently got braces on my teeth. Are they positive or negative ions?

[Emery]

Does anyone know if braces (on teeth) are positive or negative ions?

[Emery]

Oh and to answer the question in the orginal post, my RE brushed off the idea of swaying unless I went high tech.

Im like some of the others, we have told VERY few people about our swaying, and the few we have told had never heard of it before! I did ask my OB about it and he was familiar with it and said that he has had patients to try it and it can be successful! He was very supportive of me trying it! Now, a couple weeks ago, I think God spoke to me about swaying...I had been praying about it for months and was in this store buying a shower gift for a friend having a boy and I saw this cute little dress on sale and I said Lord, if I knew for sure this would work id buy one of these dresses! I was quite emotional! Well I went down the street to this other store and looked, and just out of the blue, the girl who worked there (knew it was a gift) but asked me "do you have a baby", I said "no but I will! We're about to start trying and really want a girl".....she said "you know my friend bought this book that helps you conceive a certain sex".... I stopped her, shocked and said "we have that book and yes thats what were doing too. Can I ask if it worked for your friend?" She said " yes she did it twice and worked both times!" I was shocked, for one because I had not ever talked to anyone that had tried it much less heard of it! And two because I had just spoken to God at the previous store about knowing if it would work!!! I had never felt more confident in it than at that moment!!! Dont let anybody tell you it wont work or that youre crazy, the only one you need to be worried about is the One above!! God answers prayers, and he knows what in our hearts. Jesus promised that if we ask we will receive....not that we always get what we want but its worth a shot right!?!
