Girl Sway Buddy? TTC from August onwards!!

[Chocolatina]

That's so great. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Did you get pregnant easily with your other pregnancies? .

Uhm, first pregnancy - I was 27 and we conceived from the very first attempt. I did get really surprised as I had had a two-year struggle to get my period back (I lost it after a severely drastic diet), I was on synthetic progesterone, I am not sure if that helped. Second pregnancy took us a year, I was already 33, had a missed and was really depressed. I made some pink sway attempts but after the missed and so much waiting I decided to add a second attempt in my fertile window so that is how DS2 was conceived. I am now almost 36 and to be honest I expect to have many months of trying. I am trying to be as strict on LE and cardio as possible, but I have terrible sweet tooth and have some chocolate almost every day .
Girls, don’t get too obsessed with the cheat days while LE dieting, I was too but Atomic advised me that if one single day could affect, we would not be dieting for 12 weeks, right?
Vicz, this sounds exactly like implantation spotting to me if no further menstrual-like bleeding happened. I am so excited for everyone on my swaying train right now

Thank you both, i did a pregnancy test this morning and I'm pregnant!!!! Still very surprised!!
I did a very impatient and loose sway so Im really not sure if I will be successful with my girl sway.
Sway -

calcium and mag supplements for myself and dh
lavender products
cardio
fertility spell
visualisations and praying
multiple before, during and after ovulation - know this goes against advice but as I said v impatient!
husband took ole for a while
Loosely followed LE diet

Please send me your pink dust - thank you and wishing everyone fertility dust magic! xx

This is when I have to chime in and urge you guys not to do visualizations for pink. Keeping swaying and your desire for a girl in the front of your mind all the time is not a good idea in terms of that "control freakishness" that may sway blue. Sorry, I'm not trying to rain on anyone's sway parade here (and of course wishing Vic the best of luck) but every time this subject comes up, tons of people decide "oh visualizations, what a great idea" and then I have to chime in anyway. So just please ladies, leave out visualizations, meditation, "asking the universe", etc from your sway. Try to make your sway your lifestyle and then try not to think about it constantly.

I’ve Atomic, how do I know if I crossed the line with the visualisation. I managed to turn the sway into my lifestyle and I hardly put any efforts in eating LE or walking every day. But my desire for a girl is so strong, I am not sure how not to think about it. I don’t specifically sit to close my eyes and picture the pink baby, but my inner hope is just huge. Sometimes I catch myself thinking “ C’mon, egg, please welcome X before Y this time, would you!”. I don’t do it intentionally, but I feel it like my wish for a girl for the moment is like those unreachable or impossible wishes that can never turn real. I’ve been in such a situation before as a kid (family tragedy) and it feels the same now- that whatever I do it will just not happen and that’s that. I’ve wanted a girl ever since getting married so strongly that I cried for a week when I was told my first baby’s going to be a boy. During my second pregnancy I swore I would not do that, but was a bit disappointed for not having a girl again. Frustrating...

Hey ladies. I just received my BFP today at 9DPO. I'm super excited and hopeful. I'd love another girl for our family but ultimately either would be a ton of fun!
I mainly just feel confident in my sway and don't have any major regrets!

[vicz2001]

Thanks Atomic, would have been nice to get a Congrats but never mind! I appreciate what you are saying about the visualisations but for me they were very comforting etc and was doing them in a relaxed way hopefully

[vicz2001]

Congratulations Delilia!! So you are due in August 2021 too? Are you going to get sneak peak?

At that point I had been at "work" since 5 am and I replied to that at 1:30 pm. I have days on here where I answer over 100 questions in addition to taking care of my family and stuff. As I said I wasn't trying to chastise you but to prevent tons of other people from doing something that may harm their sways, and I do this because I have seen this go wrong for so very many people where they end up basically whipping themselves into a frenzy with stuff like this.

I'm sorry I overlooked your congratulations.

Huge congrats!

You're not going to be able to control your thoughts. Don't try. You end up just replacing obsessing over visualizing a baby girl with obsessing over NOT visualizing a baby girl.

The difference is in unintentional vs. intentional thoughts. There is a HUGE difference between the person who schedules in 30 minutes of visualizing and meditating versus the person who has the occasional thought about how bad they want this to happen,

What you are describing is completely normal. Not what I'm talking about at all. Again, DO NOT now anyone try to stop yourself from thinking about wanting a daughter, etc. Just avoid deliberate attempts to "make" the universe or God give you a baby girl by dwelling on it and envisioning it, especially when you have that on your schedule as something to do at a certain time of day.
