I think I have come to the conclusion that swaying is impossible for me this summer

I'm with twosweetlads, you will never had the perfect sway, but do everything you can MANAGE doing....and that, in and of itself, is more than nothing and IS SWAYING! Don't worry about the stuff you can't deal with....if you are going to be outside, then go for it! Control the things you can control and don't think that every little thing must be lined up pointing to pink. I was in the sun a lot when I conceived my girls, as I was on the beach or lake everyday. The one thing that I can tell you without a doubt that I feel made me have girls was my diet and working out so much. I ate very little and worked out a ton, and was surely low blood sugar and acidic. We dtd with regular old KY also. GOOD LUCK!

swaying is never perfect but starting the diet and supp change early is a good idea... prep for a few months and then maybe try around the winter time.

I am trying in July but if no BFP then I will be waiting until a little later to try around the winter time for us when we eat a lot of low everything soups and stay inside.

{hugs}, you have to do what you feel is right. If you got pregnant over the summer with a boy and you think you'd always blame it on being outside or swimming then perhaps you'll choose to wait. Personally, I'm not even considering whether I'm indoors or outdoors or whether I'm in a room with air conditioning because I have a hard time buying all that stuff. The diet is the big factor for me and lowering DH's sperm count. If we can do well with those 2 aspects then I know I won't have any regrets if we get pregnant with another boy. Good luck making your decision.

I agree, go with your gut feeling, it's not worth having regrets, it also sounds like this is stressing you out which is not good. Good luck and be at peace with your decision either way!

Thanks ladies for all the support. I just get so frustrated because I feel like every time I get things going I read something that I am doing wrong.

I am going to keep going with what I am doing now, and if I get another DS the next time I TTC I am going to sway in February. I think that will be a much easier time for me.

I feel the same and most of us probably do too! We just do the best we can
Good luck!

Sending you lots of love. I gets really tough to not be worn down & ready to give up, especially w/low blood sugar. Sometimes I feel like I'm chasing a unicorn. I think we're all second guessing our sway at times & the tough part is that there are no guarantees, even with a "perfect sway". Go with your gut and don't look back & we're here for you now or then.

I just really don't know how I am going to do it. I "thought" i had it all figured out. I had the low everything diet down, I had lost 10 lbs so far, I was planning on being outside as much as possible for -ions. I bought my supplements, I bought my negative ion bracelet, I had my moon signs and biorhythms figured out, and have my supply of diet coke.

Now I am reading more that I shouldn't be outside, I can't swim, dieting is much harder then I thought it would be because of all the events I have this summer. I just don't see how it is possible this summer. I have to be outside with my DS, I can't stay inside the whole time, besides the fact I don't want to, it is just too hot and I would have to have the air conditioning going which sways girl.

I just don't see how anyone sways in the summer. I thought I was being smart by waiting till the summer, but now I am thinking I should just throw it all out the window, let nature take its course and sway next time in the winter.

Here's the thing. People ask me what is "best" for swaying and I answer them. But that DOESN'T mean that people who do those things are going to 100% for sure have a gender opposite. It just means what seems best overall. Plenty of people have conceived against the swaying rules, if it was easy or clear cut, the human race would ahve died out a long time ago. It's just NOT POSSIBLE to do everything that seems "best" because you'd drive yourself insane. Pick what works for you with your lifestyle and let go of the rest.

According to the best data I have at my disposal http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...ns-and-swaying TTC in the late summer-early fall sways blue so if you're going to do it, I would only try in June/July which seem fairly neutral, and then wait until late winter/early spring to try again because that's when girl conceptions peak. This is what is "best" but I promise you that many boys and girls are conceived in every month (and believe me it SUCKED being one of like 3 blue opposites in the December due date board so I know firsthand!!!)

I ~personally~ put very little stock into the swimming thing, but when people ask me I tell them what the traditional swaying info indicates.

Wear sunscreen.
