Too late to sway pink?

[mrscorgi]

Hi All! i'm new here, in the tww now. DH and I are trying for baby #2! we already have a beautiful boy, and i love being a boy mom, but i would love having a daughter too! I just learned about swaying, though im not new to temping and charting. seeing as we're in the midst of trying, is it too late to sway? i'm reading that i should have started this before starting ttc! any advice appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! If you're in the TWW now, I would say it's probably too late! Is your diet and exercise style seem more boy or girl friendly? Did you BD only once during ovulation? I'm hoping the best for you! Maybe you could start a light sway now then if you don't get preggo this cycle, you'll be better for the next??

I've read as far as the diet goes it's best to be on it for 6-12 weeks. But you could always start your next cycle if you ended up not conceiving. Good luck!

BD just once on possible day of O.(based on past cycles temping/ovulating on cd 18 typically & CM/Cervix position/texture) my BBT dissapeared so I had to order a new one, and it only arrived yesterday. I also had a few days of EWCM earlier in the month so I may have completely missed the window this month. I injured my foot so I wasn't able to workout, and my diet has been probably more boy friendly (wild game, carbs, pasta, dairy, salads, some fruit). That and the fact that I already have a DS makes me think i'd be more blue friendly

Any suggestions for "light sway" tactics? I've heard anti-depressants can sway pink? if that's true then that would be an advantage! I'm still reading through everything here, there's so much good info it can be overwhelming, but i LOVE research so this is right up my alley!

Light sway would be vegetarian I think!
And for me personally a major part of my sway is no snacking
I used to graze all day
But now I have 3 set meals a day with absolutely no snacks in between and wow it's hard and so different!
So maybe you could try and just change your eating habits, and cut out meat. If you only want a light sway that is!
Also atomic recommends 12 weeks on the diet I believe for best results!
I'm going to start trying after 8 weeks as I don't know how long I can live on this diet haha x

AH! no snacking!? how will i survive! lol I would love a stronger sway, but i think timing of things only allows a light sway anyway. I am on antihistamines, as is my husband, going vegetarian would be SO hard for me but i think I'm willing to give it a shot. ultimately I wanted two boys and one girl so if this next child is a boy, we know i'll be back for a strict sway next round

That's a really positive attitude to have!
There's always next time to have a really strict sway!!
I can't exercise due to back problems so I'm doing a really strict diet, coffee and alcohol for my sway!! Praying it's enough!!!!
Good luck!! X

That's so exciting! I have two boys and it is so great, they're still little but already their relationship together is beyond amazing to watch. I definitely wouldn't do anything too crazy until you know if you're pregnant or not. Will you keep us updated?! And lovellcute is so right, no snacking is crazy hard! I didn't even realize how much I did it until I stopped!

of course i'll keep everyone updated! my hardest change will be quitting my shakeology every morning! basically i'm sticking to my current diet, slowly getting back on the elliptical as my foot allows, and using this time to research everything! i'm 95% sure im not pregnant, so i'm preparing to sway as soon as AF shows up! maybe adding in vitex, and switching my allergy meds to zyrtec. at the latest i'd love to be pregnant before sept 1st. so next cycle i can be more strict and still be okay!
