TTC girl after 2 boys

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes I recommend exercise, we've had great results with it.

Be careful when "doing the opposite" that you only "do the opposite" on things that were actually swaying blue for you! As a general rule I think it's best to do what works for most people, most of the time, and not just try to reverse everythign in your life when you got boys. The reason is because you can sometimes get boys not because of something, but in spite of it. So let's say you come into TTC 80% set for boys (theoretical number I'm just making up) and you did something that swayed pink for you hugely, 20%, and ended up 60% likely to have a boy. That 20% pink sway is still a huge huge amount, but you could still be TTC more likely to have a boy than a girl. OR, you could have been at 50-50 and gotten to 30% likely to have a boy and then just had it not go your way and been in the 30% of those who got boys anyway. You'd not want to do the opposite of whatever that was the next time because you'd be swaying even more blue! So just do what has worked best for everyone the majority of the time rather than doing the opposite.

Watermelon is fine. Individual foods don't really sway, it's the overall nutrient content of your diet that matters and not any magic food.

Thank you for all the feedback! I have been trying my best to stay on the LE diet with some cheats here and there lol I also have tried cutting out my breakfast more or keeping it very light. I have been taking folic acid as well. Is eating chicken and eggs during the same day too much protein? I have been staying away from red meats but chicken is my weakness. I should be getting my period at the end of the week so we will be TTC in about 2 weeks. We are going to abstain and then attempt one time in the fertile window (the day before possitive ovulation test) I have been drinking a glass of crystal light a day also. If there are any last minute things you think could sway more for me I would love to hear it!! Again thank you so much!!

Just wanted to chime in and say Good luck! Looks like we will be attempting at the same-ish time in July! And we are doing several things the same.
Atomic could you take a look at my sway I posted please?

My dh found a study done on different lines that showed which ones decreased sperm count, didn't affect sperm, or caused DNA damage. Sylk was found to immobilized sperm temporarily up to 70% so decreasing sperm count considerably. But no damage was done to the sperm DNA itself. So we are using sylk to decrease sperm count and sway girl

Eating chicken and eggs both in the same day is ~probably~ going to put you over in protein. But if you can fit them both in, that's fine, just be aware that if you get a lot of protein from chicken and eggs, you're going to have nothing left to "spend" for the rest of the day. This can often turn into a starvation diet where you've maxed out your protein from chicken and/or eggs and have only eaten like 400 cals and then since grains, dairy, legumes, soy all have protein in them, you can't any. This ends up turning into a really poor diet of chicken, gummy worms, and cucumbers or whatever and people end up too low in fat and calories.

Nothing you do at the last minute really seems to make any difference. Jump and dump ~may~ add a little something (getting up right after sex and going to the bathroom and wiping away any excess semen) Most people do this after 5 minutes to have some benefits of the J and D without cutting odds of conception quite so far.

I am expected to have a positive ovulation test on Sunday (I am very regular with ovulation time every month) we DTD last night (Friday) so it’s best to just use that as the one time in fertile window correct?

[atomic sagebrush]

Well, it depends. That will end up likely being quite far out from ovulation (since O will generally happen 1-2 days after positive OPK) and so it's going to be a longshot to conceive with that timing. It's up to you, if you prefer absolute best chance of pink and are ok with lower odds of conception I'd stick with that attempt, but if you want better chances of conception OR don't get a pos OPK till Monday or beyond that, I'd have another attempt.

[Bcasp704]

Need some advice!! So we DTD Friday, and then again on Sunday. Although on Sunday we did very shallow penetration (as shallow as almost pulling out) I was expected to get a Positive ovulation Sunday/Monday. I thought both Sunday and Monday was my positive ovulation days, but now it is Tuesday and it is VERY positive. Came up right away and was very dark lines. I was cramping Monday and Tuesday (today) So now I am in a pacnic that dtd Sunday is too far out. Should I have another attempt tonight?? Or stick to the shallow attempt on Sunday for better odds of conceiving a girl??

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes please have another attempt, that's going to be very slim chances otherwise.

Figured I would give an update! Got my BFP yesterday!! I am having some small brown discharge mostly when I go to the bathroom so I’m hoping that’s normal as I did not have it with my other two pregnancies! I feel my sway wasn’t very strict so we will see!
