If timing is not as important as diet...

[dannikins]

well i was always abit 'iffy' about the whole timing theory.
i had 2 of my 4 boys with a 3 day cut off, which is technically in the girl zone.

but my baby girl was a one shot deal 5 days before Ovulation.
and im pretty sure that was the contributing factor in her being a girl, because i had not even started my sway yet, and i had no other sway techniques in practice at the time, other than J&D.

so i use to be a sceptic, but it worked for me...

I"m sorry, I don't mean to quibble at all and I'm really glad you got your DD. But really, you don't know that it worked for you though, Dannikins. It happened that you conceived a girl 5 days before O, but if, as the best science seems to indicate, 50-50 boys and girls are conceived on every day of the cycle in groups of people who were NOT swaying, then we have equal odds of conceiving a girl or a boy on any of the days. The timing is just a coincidence. If you flipped 4 coins on Monday and got heads, then on Tuesday you woke up and flipped a coin and got tails, that does not mean that Tuesdays have any quality that makes them more likely to produce tail coin flips. There are TONS of ladies on this site who (like you) have 1-2-3-4-more cutoff boys and then went onto conceive girls in Shettles' boy timing, not to mention every blue sway opposite who up until very recently were virtually all conceived spot on O.

It is TOTALLY possible for a person to have many of one gender and then either from sheer luck or a change in their body chemistry, have the other gender. Michelle Duggar has conceived 5 girls in a row after having 6 boys, my great-grandma and Keeley from IG had two boys in a row after 6 girls, all without swaying. It happens every day.

Again, not trying to quibble but I just want to present the information as accurately as possible for anyone who is new to the site and reads only this thread. I don't want anyone to base their sway on timing because it doesn't work, hardly anyone will get pregnant with a 5 day cutoff anyway, and I want everyone to get their DG.

BD through O is an acceptible strategy for pink but just make sure that you start your BD so you have 7 releases in before the first possible BD that can get you pregnant. That can be as early as CD 3-5.

Sure hoping this worked for me ..thats what we did..which was way different than when I conceived my boys..we bd (not FR) from like cd 8- ovulation which was probably around cd15 or so...
this time it was FR for 11 days and then like BD 3 attempts....
