Begonia's Boy Sway

[2pinkNoblue]

Where is your sway info?
was it deleted? I cannot view it...

[LolaInLove]

Yes, she deleted it so she didn't have to go over it and feel like she did anything wrong.

Nobody does anything wrong and I really hope nobody feels that way. Swaying is just that, attempting to sway your odds in your favor. There is still a big margin for opposite though. I wish the information was still there for others. We all learn as we go here.

A big reason I deleted it is bc I myself was obsessing over it. And also, I don't see really anything of note that is different between those that got their boys and those that got girls. The luck element none of us can control and you either get it or don't. I didn't. But I changed everything I could, I seriously can't believe how much of my life I changed for this and STILL got another girl.

Anyhow, in the essence of trying to help others here's what I did, short version:

DIET: high fat, high protein (100+ a day), high calorie, high nutrient ... the good ol' High Everything. Included full fat dairy, nuts, meat, dried fruits, fresh fruits and veg. No processed foods or refined carbs or artificial sweeteners. Ate carbs + protein for snacks and meals. 9 months on the diet.

EXERCISE: Was running well over 40+ miles when I got pg with my girls. So stopped that and did weights 3x a week, some cardio.

SUPPS/HORMONES: fish oil, EPO, ASG, vit D, prenatal, wheatgrass, gelatin, BYF. My hormones definitely changed; my cycle included 3-4 days of spotting pre AF and never had that in the past, lots of chin hair popped up, and acne on my back.

BD: BFP 1st month. DTD 0-1 and 0, BSF about 30 mins before. No EW. O before and after, 2-3x. Hips propped and fell asleep.

OWT: boy outfit under the bed. and prayed my heart out for years.

b, like you said its all in the hands of luck in the end, and what nbp says too, a sway is just..well a sway! thats it. i know how you feel tho. ive already started thinking of all the things ive done wrong and i just finished O'ing and attempting. totally think it will be another girl (#3 for me as well), but what can i do? nothing. just love whoever it is. i think if ppl went into this thinking its not a sure-fire thing, maybe they wouldnt be so invested in teh results. but it really is so hard espl y for pl like us who REALLy REALLY REALLy want a boy (or girl) and will do anything and everything expect PGD (esply if we cant afford it). thats why i try to keep telling myself and DH it may not work, it may not work. well we cant really control GD either. but we can accept we have it, mourn, and move on.

Oh, sorry B, I didn't mean you DID anything wrong. You know you had a wonderful sway, of course. I did mean you didn't want to obsess.....which I would have done the same thing.
