Hope I did not miss anyone wanting their details added - let me know!!

Ok.. I am on swaying hold lol but still following general diet and supps just not as hard core! I have landed myself a job, although "relief" it is great and keeping my mind of swaying while we have a full house here. I am doing relief TA with school children and in particular those with special needs/disabilities. Thoroughly enjoy it

That's awesome! Nothing like working to take your mind off of stuff, that is for sure! So, you are aiming for August now?

Flava are you seriously dropping out or just having one of those days? Believe me, I think if I swayed as hard as you did and still got another DD I'd struggle with trying again too. But I'm also totally the type of person that believes everything is possible ... so maybe, just maybe, #5 could be it for you? My FIL is the 5th of 10; his mom had 4 girls before him, and then 3 more boys after him. Crazy. Anyhow I am with you on the drawing a line somewhere, and I know for sure 3 is my end point. Even if I knew it would be another girl at this point I'm convinced our family is supposed to have one more, so I'm going for it. Even if you don't sway again please stay around to hang out!

I don't know what to do...not sure about the everything is possible thing...also feel like we are fine like this now why start all over with another baby ? And most likely a girl anyway.

iluv Im sorry about the bfn

[Flava]

I am out AF arrived yesterday. And I am DONE swaying!!!
I really just want to be pregnant. I am hardly swaying anyways. Everything was perfect this month and nothing. I am very disappointed as all my other pregnancies happened so easily.
How important does everyone think timing is?
The only things i really was doing to sway was timing, 4 day abstinence and diet changes.
When I conceived DDs I drank milk and crystal light like crazy! I have since cut them out and only drink lemon water and no dairy. hoping it helps.
I am sooo disappointed that it is taking this long. It has been over a year now with an early m/c and 14 week loss in there. it sucks.

sorry about AF Diet changes is a good sway ! Hope you get a bfp next time!

I can totally understand how you feel.....just go with your heart...if you are ok with another girl, then go for it. If not, then maybe you are fine. That's how I think at least. I know we want a 3rd no matter what, but then we are done also. What does your DH think?

Add me please! =)

♥ Swaying Status: Swaying NOW (TTC mid-May)
♥ TTC DC # 3 - have 2 DDs
♥ My approach: Diet including lots of sodium, potassium, protein, lemon water constantly, and very little sugar (way different than normal)
Supplements include Iron, B12, Lots of FA, Fish Oil, Vit E, Mucinex (1200/day)
Using OPK, Preseed w/BS, and Shettles timing and position method
Started P90X to increase muscle mass (have none currently)
And last but most importantly in my opinion, I WILL NOT be jumping and dumping, as was successful for two girls (I had NO IDEA that would sway girls but I'm a believer!)
I <3 GD!

Sorry to be mia ladies had some chaos that enveloped my world for a few days. I'll fully read back later but it looks like a solid of bfn's, boy that sucks!

Dh and I have decided to take a break until my periods even out. The emotional roller coaster of late O and late AF is getting to me. I realized the other day that it's not swaying I'm sick of it's my own body screwing with me that I'm fed up with. I'm going to keep opk'ing just to be sure I continue to O but we have decided to wait at least two cycles before we try again, so I'll be joining you July/Aug swayers!

[LolaInLove]

Flava, I hear ya. I know I would feel the same way if I have another girl. And you are not mean to want 1 boy, that is why all of us are here.....we just want ONE of the other gender, which I think is completely natural for any human being. I want the experience of raising both genders of children, and therefore, I want a boy, just like you do. Doesn't mean I don't love and want and cherish my daughters...I just really want the next one to be a boy, and if it's not, then we will live our lives happily as the parents of 3 girls and I'll probably always wish I could have had a son, which will be hard to get over but I am sure I will someday. We can't afford HT, so that's it for us. And jeez, I say all this as if I can get pg in the first place.

I think it boils down to this: it's a risk....you never know, unless you go HT, that #5 will be a boy. So, you gotta take that gamble. Is it worth it to you? I know you don't *want* another girl, but could you be ok if you did have another failed sway? BUT.....on the flip side....if you never take that risk, you will never have your chance of having a son. I think you just need to talk to your DH and see how he feels about the possibility of a 5th girl, and then go from there. I can totally see how you'd be pessimistic about it, BUT (again) you never know! Maybe this one would work!

Either way, hugs to you, Flava, I know this is a very very big deal, and I hope you guys come to a good and peaceful conclusion so things are bright and sunny for you. XOXO

Well I'm glad you'll be ttc with me then! I think it's a good decision to take a break, mostly because I feel good about doing it myself, I feel like it will rejuvenate me, so hopefully it will do the same for you.

Thanks Lola, my crazy cycles make it very clear it doesn't matter what I want my body just is not ready. I woke up the morning after this decision feeling relived and positive. I'm not going to lie the last few days without potatoes have been most glorious!
