Thanks all for your input - I really appreciate you all taking the time to respond.
Essnce - To answer your questions: I always drink English breakfast tea (with milk and recently soy or almond milk) and usually a Cadbury highlights (or low fat) hot chocolate topped up with soy milk. I probably drink 2-3 cups a day of tea and try to limit hot choc to one cup. I don't drink coffee at all. Also, I am 31yrs and DH is 38yrs. DH and I aren't big drinkers at all and I can easily go a month without any alcohol, but I decided to indulge as we went out for Valentines night and the in-laws were looking after my boys. I wish you all best in your baby journey!
Dreamofpink - wow what an awesome story - Im so pleased for you. My gender desire (not to be confused with disappointment of my boys) has gotten worse with each boy as it has mad me crave that girl more as the chance of a daughter gets further and further away. And now I can't help but feel I want a daughter 'too much', that I wont get herWith DS3 I was very happy at the thought of a boy, but I really really really really wanted the baby to be pink (obviously wouldn't change him for the world), but after 3x blue I cant help but feel a bit sorry for myself that 'Im not that lucky' - so maybe I need to be more positive!!!
Babygirlquest - Thank you so much for your reply - Can you believe that this 'accident' could be more of a pink sway than when I spent 3-4months on LE diet and actually swaying pink for DS3!!!
Throwaway_panther - I know - its crazy and I cant quite believe it myself. I have just broken the news to DH and he has been great about it - phew!! A Valentines baby lol!!!
Thank you all x

Yes! I think it could be more influential not trying as such. I tried to sway too hard 3 years ago & got ds3.

Yep - I can get that. Im a total 'Martha' (totally LOVE list making and Microsft Excel is my best friend lol!), so a relaxed non-sway here would be quite good for me

I'm excited for you! I know of a few of us GD old-timers who swayed pink hard 3 or so years ago, got opposites & through oopsies have had or are having girls 😀

Throwawaypanther, I think that bc of innate swaying factors and due to how she got DS3. Also statistics and my own observations. But I very much hope I am wrong! I do tend to err on the side of caution bc I prefer not to get people's hopes up. That part is all on me.
essnce, I'm so happy to hear that. I think it's probably just a matter of time for you. I also wish I still had my insane youthful fertility, sigh. I've always believed that at least some if not most men can tell when women are fertile. Not necessarily due to pheromones (as according to research only women can detect them), but maybe other physical cues. I HAD noticed that you tend to BD when fertile. Very interesting!Last edited by maidentomother; February 26th, 2016 at 09:39 PM.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

OH my Jen!!! So excited for you!
I personally prefer not to go over sways that are done deals because I feel like they only contribute to false hope or false despair. You had a lot of pink friendly stuff working for you though and you always have a chance of a girl!!
FX and TX and tons of pink dust headed your way.!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Thank you Atomic! I appreciate your dust lol!
Maiden - I can totally understand your point. Lets be honest, I had two boys 'naturally' and then tried to sway but still had a boy. I haven't changed an awful lot of my lifestyle so it would make perfect sense to have another boy. I honestly don't think DH and I have it in us to make a girl, but for now, I can hope just a teeny tiny bitxx
