This is my one and only sway at ttc a girl. I wondered if people who have swayed and failed wouldn't might sharing what they think the reason may have been (if any) to help those of us currently swaying. Obviously I understand that sometimes you do everything you can and still don't get your DG, I'm just really interested in what people would do differently if given another chance. Thanks in advance for any replies

I wanted a boy with DS 1 and had no gender pref. with DS 2 (but they were both cutoffs, I believe.)

I used just timing with DS 3 (I had never really heard of swaying then and it never occured to me to look it up online.) I did everything totally "wrong" with him. Honestly, it was probably the finest blue sway EVER!!!

With DS 4, I know exactly what I would do differently...even though I had done a ton of research I still wanted to hedge my bets and try to encorporate the FGD minerals into my sway, so I took megadoses of cal, mag, B6, and Vit. D - wouldn't do any of that if I swayed pink again. I also took a prenatal and DHA supp because I was worried aobut the baby's health (evne though I don't really regret that because I do have a healthy baby) Even though I lost weight, I was on a swaying break the month I got pg and had eaten a few breakfasts, some salt, gained some weight back thinking I could lose it again, I didn't take an antihistamine or J and D or anything. IT's really annoying because my husband was actually pretty girl-friendly because he had gained some weight and drinking more beer than normal.

I was also getting into arguments every day on IG and was superobsessed with swaying and thinking about it 24-7. I think that is one of the main reasons why sways fail, I have seen it happen about a bazillion times with pink swayers, the people who are the most into it are the ones whose sways fail time after time.

One interesting thing I will share with you and maybe it will help, is that I noticed that even after I had lost weight to TTC DS 4, I still was packing a lot of muscle mass. Then I gained TONS of weight when I was pg (long story but I had two placentas which gave me almost like gestational diabetes even though I didn't actually have it, but I still gained a lot.) Now that I've lost almost all the baby weight, I find that I have lost a lot more muscle than I did the first time through and my fat is distributed very differently than it has ever been in my life. I am actually really curious to see what would happen if I got pg but that is not going to happen!!

~IF~ you lose weight to TTC pink and find that you still have a lot of muscle, and it is your one and only shot, it ~may~ be something to consider to stop what you're doing, even postpone for a year if you have to, and gain weight back again only to lose it again. This is dangerous because it wreaks havoc with your body and it may backfire by raising testosterone, but just sharing what I noticed. I would not even think about it unless you are willing to put TTC on hold for at least a year.

I have to say I have no idea whatsoever why it didn't worked for me...everyone thought I will get a boy for sure. ( not me of course)

I did everything right even MSU . There was no full moon but please...to say I didn't get a boy because of the full moon was missing it's ridiculous. And I don't believe it for sure.
So really wth Im doing here ttc again? don't know...I will ttc in Oct. IF...maybe I change my mind.not sure

Flava, I TOTALLY agree about the moon. To even suggest such a thing is totally ridiculous.

If you don't like how your sway is going or if you change your mind, you can just decide not to do it! Easy as that. I really hope that whatever you decide, you have peace of mind with it! ♥

Of course NOT because of the full moon because I swayed for a boy and there was no full moon, BUT I was in the right season (winter) and used a lot of ions.

Also I know alot of girls who did sway in summer and also there was no fullmoon, but the got boys. Very crazy.

[DoulaMama]

HA! If the new moon worked for me....I'd have 3 girls!! Every one of my boys was conceived anywhere from 6-9 days after a new moon.

[Flava]

Thanks girls I so so very scared...I think I will just get another girl anyway...only thing why Im here because I want a boy so much! We have no money for HT can't do that.
But there is nothing I can do with the seasons Im in florida and it's warm here .
I remember last Christmas time was hot.

Thank you so much to everyone who has replied, I really do find it useful even if I may not change things anyway, it just really helps to remember there are NO guarantees!! I really am very happy to have another boy, I never wanted only two children so what will be will be in a way! I think my biggest issue is that I am quite obsessive so I think once I've settled on my sway I'm going to try and stay off here as much as possible until I get pregnant (going to be hard!!!!) but this might make me chill and just get on with it. Thanks again

I remembered another thing or 2...I never did any muscle building exercise .I was just sitting around getting fat on boy diet.
And my ph was always low. ( only went up with bsf)
Now I know for some ph is not important but for me it is. Especially if it's so low like mine under 4.5!

This time I try to build up some muscle ( Im 107 lbs now but all jelly soft no muscle at all!) and try really hard with the diet and all to get ph up.

So I hope it's going to help me.

I have no muscle AT ALL im the weakest person I know. I ask my kids to open things for me lol

The only time I was ever real active was with my first boy and at that time I was doing a little jogging and riding a bike a little but thats it. Nothing since then.... I was even only a girl diet with my last and still had a boy.
