Lassie this is exactly why charting is a no-no for me. I would have tossed my computer and thermometer through a window by now! I had so much trouble with FF last time. I swore off charting forever! Plus I was driving my husband bonkers...although I am slightly tempted to start up again lol. Don't let FF rain on your parade honey...you know your body!

oh believe me I've been tempted to do throwing! I did try a month of no temping, and for me it was marginally worse (only slightly)
The reason i stick with it so i know when i have p'd so we can stop DTD - if we just do it when the mood takes it then it would only be once, maybe twice a week...which does narrow the chances of pregnancy. Sadly we can't just keep DTD either because after about 5 goes DH is ready to give up..so for now I'm keeping it so that i can pinpoint when i o'd and try and keep track of my dpo..

oh its tricky!

i think i have caved with curiosity and anxiety and will test tomorrow (8dpo)

Hey ladies how are you all keeping this morning. Waiting here for the bfp's that are on the way. Can I ask if you all did much to sway or not as I only heard about the diet a couple of weeks ago so don't think I did nearly enough on that side to sway. Please please don't get me wrong I am just so happy to be pregnant and my main priority is a healthy baby but I really would love a baby girl so much. This is our last as I really want to be able to provide the best for my boys and good schools/ universities etc don't come cheap so I am already saving and dh and I agreed that 3 would be our limit so I think that is why I want this so badly to be a girl even though there is nothing in the world would make me change my boys. Are you all in the diet for long?


Butterfly spirit yes this will be our rainbow baby please God this little one is a sticky. We are delighted and terrified after last time. Ds2 was a rainbow baby though so hopefully this little one is a sticky too.

Cravingsalt I had loads of dreams about bringing pregnant like that in the couple of days before my bfp and also had a slow rising temp like you mentioned earlier in another post. Really hoping this is your month.

BeadinMom it sounds really good. I had an implantation bleed like that on ds2 and he is a perfectly healthy one year old now.

Praying4pink I am gone like that when I see baby girls/ little girls now. It is like a nag that is there all the time and when I see a little girl it intensifies so so much.


Sorry for my little essay up above.......

Lassie I completely understand that. I don't want to be dtd the whole month "baby making" style either! It's too much. I'm using SMEP though because of past fertility issues. Definitely not girl sway friendly! We will see if it works.

Riddle me this...why is it 4:30 in the morning in Florida and I am up posting in the forums? Crazy? Yes especially since I have to be up for work at 5:30. Uggh I'm going back to bed. Btw...I am 7DPO and just felt cramping. Just saying, lol...

if it makes you feel any better i do the same at 430am here in australia! Im up at 410, bathroom, make a coffee, sit down on gender dreaming for about 20 mins! Feed horses, shower, get ready for work, wake up son get him ready for school and out the door at 6am!

your cramps are well timed to be implant cramps!!

[Lassie1982]

luckylass - i really think it comes down to fate...you just need to believe that whats meant to be will be - well least that what i believe. Im swaying because i want to give fate the best chance, and i want to feel like i did the *best* that i could to try and bring my dreams to life.

I have scoured ALOT of the failed and successful sways on here, and can honestly say that i feel that there are very many lazy/half sways that are successful, and there are are also many super strong super strict sways that fail. So there is no right recipe, and a lazy / short sway doesn't mean you WONT get a girl...the same as a perfect sway doesn't mean you WILL get a girl

Enjoy the next nine months, especially if this is your last, its a magical time in life, don't let it be darkened or hampered with any worry or disappointment about the gender

[cravingsalt]

Yes but you have 2 boys and there is nothing wrong with wanting a little princess to complete the dream. I blame society telling us women that a perfect family includes both. Sadly like all of us here, I too desire that opposite gender. Every time I see a little baby girl the desire gets worse. Thankfully, I have a best friend who has a little girl three days younger than my son so I get to go shopping for her, lol. Ironically, she just got preggo a few months back with twins! Hey my mom had two before having me so....praying for your pink bfp craving!

Thank you Praying, right back at you! I will tell you that having a community of people eases the burden. And you're right here in Florida somewhere! So there are people in real life that feel the same way, they just don't talk about it in real life...like me! P.S. you have such a great attitude about your best friend and her little daughter...I have a sis-in-law and best friend who is also going to try soon and I am already preparing myself to be nothing but happy for her when (if) she gets the girl. I guess after boys you just feel like a sausage factory, lol!

[cravingsalt]

with any luck its a sign!

PS - your chart looks awesome!

Thanks, Lassie! I'll be watching for your post. I tested yesterday (8dpo) and negativo for me, holding of until tomorrow to test again at 10dpo. P.S.- you're a super early riser, wow! But what a beautiful life that sounds like.

Luckylass- it's sooo natural to feel how you're feeling. I think they key is to know that you did what you could do and now the baby already is what s/he is, and already perfect. I think Lassie is totally right about giving fate an extra little kick in the pants but we can only do so much. Whoever is baking in there is meant to be in your family. I hear a lot of women say that their last if their (secret) favorite- maybe because we take the time to savor every moment.

Cravingsalt thank you for such a lovely post. That is a lovely way to put it.

Lassie you are right, we will get what we are meant to have.


Girls please don't think I am not grateful for by bfp a healthy baby is the most important thing in the world to us but just secretly hoping we may be lucky enough to have a little princess to join our family with two little princes.

CONGRATS luckylass, well done!!!!!!!!
I am out this month, back to the grindstone for me. I really need to stick to this diet, since my miscarriage I have been so bad!!!!!!!!

Hopefully this will be my month and I get a good PINK sticky bean!!

[Praying4Pink]

your cramps are well timed to be implant cramps!!

I sure hope you are right lassie! I had cramping and IB with my son and I know that each pregnancy is different but I just KNOW I should get IB with this one too, lol. I'm checking like a maniac now...
