ttc thread - swaying again in 2017 :)

4blue2pink... completely unrelated but... did you pay any attention to moon phases or Chinese gender chart when ttc your girls?

If the Chinese knew about any ancient wisdom for gender swaying, there would not be orphanages full of unwanted baby girls.

Moon phases are also junk. People just play around with the day since no one knows the hour of their birth or the hour of conception, to make them come out right.

Thanks Atomic!

So, the odds are not stacked against you if trying to conceive a girl during the full moon?

Thank you, lovely. I hope you are ok today, and I'm sure your little angel is looking down on you [emoji171]

Yes, the hematoma was a huge collection of blood clots behind the placenta, slowly causing it to detach. It's not easy to see on a scan, so we were only diagnosed the week before I lost her, (we knew there was a problem though as I had been bleeding since week 11). My waters broke and I went into labour. We actually didn't know she was a girl until I had her, as we were waiting for the surprise. So very sad.

no i didnt, i dont believe in either as i have never come across any chart/theory that is right for all my kids!! results seem very random so some women will have it be right for all their kids and believe in it while others have it never be right for them! and i think you will only stress yourself out trying to cram your attempts into the "right" months and moon phases, baby's of both genders are conceived every month and moon phase i say stick to the basic stuff that works well xx

Sorry about that, we have this odd glitch sometimes where a post needs to be approved by a mod. Just give me a heads up about what thread it's in and then I can approve them.

no worries! i was just confused when it happened! its on this thread, ive never had it happen before, thankyou for replying

4blue2pink, I thought about you today. Hope today was not too hard. But I guess this date will always be difficult to handle. I'm sure your sweet little angel is always right beside you and looking down on her beautiful parents, brothers and sisters. Sending you lots of love to get through the rest of your day

thankyou so much sigrid <3 xx

Sounds good Just eat some white chocolate, I read that it's good. Good luck with keeping up with the diet and exercise (2h - respect!) and even more good luck for the attempt in hopefully not too much time

hey my first daughter who i lost was not a sway i just fell pregnant and got a girl so no diet there!

my second daughter wasnt a sway either, i was eating normally (very boy friendly lots of snacks etc) then came down with gastro a few hours after dtd for the only time that month, i was wiped out for 4 days unable to eat or drink more than a few sips of lucozade or water here and there, it was awful!! wrote that month off for ttc then 2 weeks later bfp!! huge surprise!! and a girl!! im convinced it was mainly the 1 attempt but also the illness and resulting low blood sugar, there was no intentional diet just 4 days of no food over ovulation-i dont recommend it!!

finally my third daughter was a sway!! i did LE for around 12 weeks before i got pregnant with her, it was slightly over 12 weeks i think im aiming to get a good couple of months on the diet this time before ttc xx
