How does this sound for a girl away please...?

[ObsidianBlossom]

Right, hello all I’m new here, can I say thankyou to atomic for all of the information and time which has been put into this incredible site and I’m sure she isn’t the only one! I’m a mum to a beautiful boy and girl, people assume you’ve finished having children when you’ve one of each, but I’m 28 and still feel athough I’m not done with making babies yet! I think one more for us and we would love a little girl again! It would save my a fortune too as still have all the stuff for a baby girl. I successfully swayed pink with my daughter but it was so long ago I’ve only remembered a few of the things at the time. I was very stressed at the time we conceived my daughter as I spent a lot of time looking after a dying relative: I remember altering my diet in that i had porridge with tinned raspberries most morning, I took cranberry supplements and kept of the bananas and potatoes and meat. That’s all I think I did. I did the vinegar douche one before BD and we BD once 4 days before O. I remember by DH having a hot shower before hand too.
So here is what I’m doing so far...
Cranberry supplements, lots of spinach, berry foods, rice crispies, organic milk, caffeine free and Diet Coke, some moderate exercise walking fast. I’m not a big fan of meat so it’s easy for me to be veggie. I love a bit of chocolate now and again though!

So what are people’s thoughts on my sway? Been on this diet for a month nearly.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome! We do swaying differently here and have seen great results (65-70% success rates) for pink. You seem to be doing more of the "old school" sway tactics which is fine if that's what you want to do as it's your sway. Here pink swayers do LE diet which is 1500-1800 calories, 30-60g fat, 40-50g protein. ALL foods are allowed so don't limit yourself to just those things you listed. The only foods that might be wise to avoid are fortified ones like cereal. Low carb veggies are free so don't count cals/fat/protein. Fruits and high carb veggies count calories, but not fat or protein. You'll want to get most of your fats from vegetable based ones (like canola for example) rather than animal fat (like dairy). If you have PCOS though, this diet will need to be modified. We've found cranberry supplements don't work and really aren't safe as they're a blood thinner. Some other tactics we've found to be great are Clomid/Femara, coffee, alcohol, one attempt at positive OPK, fiber, and cardio.

Ah thankyou so much for such a quick and informed reply that’s very helpful. I’m only a petite person with a small appetite so keeping my calorie intake low isn’t too hard for me. I will take your advice though on what you’ve said, thankyou again.

Just be careful on that you're not eating too little calories especially if you're exercising. I'm petite as well and while swaying I ended up losing too much weight and stopped ovulating. As Atomic usually says, it's often better to start off on the upper limit of calories then cut back if necessary rather than start of too low and risk your body stopping ovulation.

Thankyou so much, I’ll remember that. As for doing the deed and timing... what is recommended for a pink away. My husband is 39, so does his age go in my favour for a pink sway? I don’t want him to release too much or too often, and I’m hoping just to dtd just the once a few days before O as I did before when I got my girl... I don’t know whether to douche or not... but it “helped” last time as I got my girl... don’t know if I dare risk not douching this time incase it helps although I’ve heard it doesn’t - but I thought lower ph in vjj swayed pink.. hmm.

Hi and welcome!

We have found many of those things have not worked reliably for us but I can understand wanting to re-enact what seemed to work the last time. The most important thing you can do is that one attempt. For reasons we do not understand, while many of the various sway tactics, when studied more closely, have not worked well, that one attempt really does work. So it's fine to try that stuff again, but just be sure that

I really strongly urge you to ditch those Rice Krispies immediately. The best study ever done on maternal pre-conception diet (and indeed, the only one ever done by a group not trying to prove their diet true) found that breakfast cereals swayed strongly blue, probably because of the nutrients added to them. We also got overwhelmingly boys with multivitamins and other fortified foods as well.

Here is what to remember - it's fine to start off doing whatever you want to do. But if you don't get pregnant, what needs to happen is that you drop things that don't work before adding attempts. For reasons we do not understand, one attempt ended up swaying, and pH, timing, antihistamine, cranberry, and yes, even douching actually did nothing. (I had a statistician actually do regressions on these things and they just didn't work.) So while it's totally cool to do exactly what your heart is telling u to do for your sway, just keep in the back of your mind that if you end up going on for more than a couple months it is probably time to start dialing it back on the things that don't work to focus on the things that do. Too often, we see people doing old-school type sways going on for 6-9 months not conceiving, and then all in one month, panic and toss out everything all at once, even swaying blue just to get preggo, and that obviously ends up producing some opposites.

Just a little lite reading: the case against timing is here: https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...le-timing.html and the case against pH is here: https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...ph-pickle.html

Hubby being 39 may help a little, but I'd not have him do abstain as it may not be safe. Id just have him do regular release every 2-4 days and then do the cutoff, douche, one attempt like u have planned. I think abstain is (like I said) unsafe and both abstain and FR don't work and would cut odds too far with the other stuff you want to use.

Thankyou so much for your reply atomic, I’m fairly fortunate in the fact I’ve conceived both my children on the first month of trying so I’m sort of expecting that again even though my last pregnancy was 4 years ago and I’m nearer 30 now.... so it may not be the case this time! Rice crispies are strictly to be eaten by my kids only from now on in our house lol! I’m too afraid to not do what I did before... I’m on LE diet and I think as I’m such a little person I’m finding that’s pretty much my normal diet anyway. Last time I had one attempt using shettles and the douche to get my girl - it’s so difficult to work out what’s the best thing to do... but I hadn’t heard of the one shot attempt until recently... argh. I’ll be sure to keep everyone updated on here when I do get pregnant - we won’t find out gender until birth but either way I will love him or her - but I’m keen to be part of future research and statistics x

Also... my typical day looks like this - raspberries and strawberries maybe grapes mixed in with 0% fat Greek yoghurt followed by a whole meal wrap with cucumber and spinach and small amount of cheese (grated) in it. And maybe a splash of chilli sauce or mayonnaise for flavour. One or two coffees a day with sugar and the odd drink of Diet Coke, Ribena or organic milk semi skimmed... so all I have a day is mixed berries and yogurt for lunch and a wrap for tea... that’s all and I don’t have much appetite I’m not a big eater at all... does my sway sound good if I use the one shot attempt and I think I’ll do vinegar douche for my own peace of mind because I’m paranoid if I don’t get a girl I’ll blame it lol.
