Are there any people who swayed for number 2?

Swaying for my 4th (first time swayer)

[blueeyedguys]

I tried slightly swaying for my 2nd & a bit more for my 3rd, but had so many miscarriages/"chemical" pregnancies trying for each of them, that I stopped even the tiny bit I was doing. Ds2 was over 9 yrs ago & ds3 was over 5, so there wasn't a lot of info out there anyway. Ds4 was an oops baby.

I did. It took me forever to get pregnant so I dropped my sway, and needed fertility treatments, but I wound up with my DG. I am going to do a light sway this time, as my DD was born very ill (she is doing well now), but she has some scarring and ongoing issues, and I would like for her to have a sister. Even my DS said she needs a sister more than he needs a brother lol. Really I will be thrilled either way, as long as it is healthy, but I would like to up my odds a little in the girl direction

I would have swayed with my second if i knew of this site (maybe it didn't exist yet in 2009?). I knew of IG but the site wasn't working well back then and i didn't just 'get' the idea behind it. I knew of shettles, read his book, and did plan for a 4 day cut off, but we also did an attempt at O, because i really wanted to get pregnant. Pregnant right away, just as with ds1 (later i found out, timing doesn't work so i was able to forgive myself i didn't stick to the cut off;-). And, furthermore, how couldn't i be upset with my ds2 being ds2, he's just my world)

But when i heard he was DS2, i faced a deadline; my hubby always said 2 was enough, maybe, very maybe 3. So, from that moment the desire for a little girl was in my head everyday and also the fear of maybe not having one at all.

So, if you know beforehand the number of children you want (i think that's always the case to some extend), i would def do my best.

I am currently pregnant with #2 but we dont know gender yet- swayed for a girl but im pretty sure it didnt work.

I was curious to see if for the most part the successful sways were people that already had more than 2 of the same gender or if it really was random. I always thought just by looking through posts that most people had several kids already (but there was no science to that haha just what i thought i was noticing)

This site didn't get started till 2011. I was only just starting to do research in 2009 and that is the year I got my IG sway opposite too.

It isn't random, because we have the blue sways getting outstanding results (between 70-80% varying by month) and this number has stayed consistent over the course of these past 2 1/2 years. The pink sways have been about 65%, again, consistent for 2 1/2 years. So it is reasonable to assume that people are going from as much as 70 to even 80% likely to have another boy without swaying, to 65% likely to have a girl with swaying. Numbers don't look like that (that is a STRONG variation away from 50-50) and stay consistent over time if something is random.

Totally agree- i didnt mean that overall it was random sorry i didnt articulate that better i was more curious about the rate of successful sways as it correlated to numbers and gender of existing children. In other words if someone has only 1 child and sways for number 2 vs. Someone who had 3 same gendered kids swaying for number 4 is there a difference in success rate.

Does that make sense? Sorry i have a bit of pregnancy brain lol

I am swaying for number 1. But I will probably go to HT if I don't conceive this month. I feel SO lucky to have discovered swaying before having kids!

Why do you think the numbers for pink sway are less than for a blue sway? Is it because one is harder than the other?
