Double Girl mom looking to sway for blue

[GirlmomXOXO]

When my husband and I got married we always wanted 3 healthy kids, irregardless of gender. Now we have two daughters and I would love to try and sway for a son. My second daughter is 11 months old and I am still nursing and also on birth control. My plan is to stop nursing at the end of this month and hopefully get pregnant at the end of summer 2018.

I’ve been debating when to go off birth control because I want to get to know my body and ovulation cycles. (I haven’t had a period since fall 2014 because with both my daughters I went right from pregnant to nursing right into being pregnant again, hence why I am on birth control now!),

While doing the research on swaying I completely see why both my pregnancies resulted in Girl so I want to focus more on timing and rather than just going off Birth control and seeing what happens.

How long should I wait prior to conception to going off birth control? And when do most people start the “boy diet”

Thanks in advance for your help! At the end of the day I just hope for a healthy baby but it would be fun to have a little brother for my two girls!

Hi and welcome

How gorgeous are you little girls in your profile pic?

Definitely want to give your body time to come off the birth control when swaying blue. Atomic suggests a minimum of two cycles before ttc but more if you can.

Many of us girl mummas find that we definitely swayed unknowingly based on lifestyle and diet before getting pregnant in the past. When swaying blue there are a few things that we know based on our results that do work.
- HE diet for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. This is a higher cal diet full of nutrient dense foods, red meat, full fat dairy etc.
- 3 BD attempts within your fertile window. Timing doesn't sway, there are the same number of girls and boys conceived every day of fertile window. Most have these attempts at or close to +opk.
- Limit cardio exercise and lift weights instead.
- Supps such as a multi, probiotic, fish oil and vit D are all good for DW.

There is heaps of good reading in the boy sway forums too. GL

Hi and welcome!!

Yes I want you to come off the hormonal birth control as far in advance of your next sway as is feasible. Birth control residue may sway pink and the longer you're off of it, the better. It has nothing to do with tracking your cycles (cycles can change, especially while swaying) but just that the effect the BC has on your hormones may make your sway less likely to succeed.

You can find our High Everything Blue Diet here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...l-version.html and the FAQ is here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...-diet-faq.html. You can actually start making changes in an HE direction right away - eating more fruits and vegetables, higher protein, cutting back vegetable-based fats in favor of animal-based fats - and then once you are closer to when you plan to TTC, start eating the higher calorie range. I'd also recommend starting weight training right away. Don't gain weight for now, just hold steady where you are.

I also want you to be taking a multivitamin without megadose nutrients or herbs in it like Women's One a Day. You can take up to 1000 IU Vit. D though, that will help your sway and your fertility.

Please let me know any questions you have! So happy you found us!

Okay I will stop taking my BC pills. Should I have my husband use condoms then until we are ready to conceive? My first pregnancy happened immediately after I went off birth control (just a couple days) and I hadn’t been on BC for my second but was still nursing (breastfeeding probably adding female hormones).

Thanks i will Also start taking Women’s One a Day. Do you have Any recommendations for fish oil and vit D?

Yes you'll need to use some kind of barrier birth control like condoms to prevent pregnancy.

The Women's ONe a Day already has the appropriate amount of Vit. D in it.

I would probably hold off on the fish oil for now since you're far from when you want to TTC. It is kind of expensive. I took this stuff and got two boys taking it. https://www.amazon.com/Enfamil-Expec.../dp/B001F0RA34
