Oh ok, I’ve been doing it wrong for sure then!

That’s good to know because if I’m not pregnant I won’t be using those apps anymore.


Today I’ve been having a lot of crab like pinching in my lower abdomen, my boobs are sore and lower back still hurts a bit. I know the cramps and back can be signs of ovulation or period but idk about the tender breasts.

At this point only time will tell.
Whatever will be will be!
Fx anyway lol !

they're fine if you just want a rough estimate of when your period will come but they are NOT NFP methods and should not be relied upon to prevent pregnancy.

FXFXFXFX that this is either AF on the way or ovulation, and nothing more long term than that (unless it gets us what we want, LOL)!

Oh definitely, they’ve been perfect with my period, up until now lol!!

I really hope if I am luck is on my side. Although I don’t know, because I ate pretty bad prior to starting my diet. That’s how I ate when I got my boy. I know this is a swaying site but have there ever been people who came in here wanting another boy, after having a boy, eating a boy diet and got a girl? I know there’s opposites but I just assume moms of girls that are swaying for a boy, still have girls because that’s how their body is set up (sorry if I sound super ignorant) and vice versa for boy moms wanting girls. I sound crazy and I don’t know if I’m portraying what I want I’m trying to ask correctly lol Being that I only have one boy I don’t know if it was just luck that I had a boy or if it was how I ate/lifestyle.

No you're right there are people who do just seem set for one gender over the other, but we do still see people getting opposites even after 4,5,6 or more of the same gender. I've seen people get girls after 8 boys and boys after 8 girls - without swaying. I can't answer your question about your diet, I just don't have enough information (and I have to take everyone's words on what their diet was like anyway - so I can't know if they're even eating particular diets or not!)

I look at my grandmother who has 3 of each, 6 kids. Her diet never changed or her lifestyle and then there’s people who have all girls or all boys. Mama June has all girls and her diet (from what you can see in tv) should be in boy territory. It’s all very interesting. I think being that I do have OCD tendencies I feel like if I don’t sway correctly there’s no way I can have a girl.

My diet, to be frank before starting to sway again, was total shit. So much so that I gained 60lbs in a year. It’s embarrassing honestly. Which is why I feel there’s no way I could get a girl eating that many calories and having super unhealthy fast foods.

The only silver lining is that I do lose weight FAST. Idk if it’s all water weight that I lose or what, but it comes off pretty quickly.

We actually have found a trend where heavyset women who eat poorly do have all girls and you can read about that here. https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...irls-boys.html

We regularly, surprisingly regularly have blue swayers go onto a sway diet and gain a massive amount of weight and have a girl. It was such a thing that I've really really REALLY had to put my foot down and limit their weight gain to a very strict 3-5 lbs for most blue swayers, because so many who gained 30+ lbs ended up with a girl. So don't count yourself out yet.

That’s so strange and interesting! I would think that being overweight or eating a lot of calories would sway girl because it does lower the odds of conception, but at the same time, it’s hard for me to fully believe that (for myself I mean) because I conceived my son on an EXTREMELY unhealthy fatty, fast food and high everything diet! Do you think someone could eat a HE diet and prior conceived boys on it and then conceive a girl on the same type of diet?

I think I may have my period, I need to get a pg test to confirm, but I’m hoping it is just AF, I felt very unsettled before. I need to give this sway a good chance!

WE need to move away from "healthy and unhealthy" because you can eat a diet that's "unhealthy" for heart health and cancer prevention and be eating tons and tons of nutrients. A "healthy" diet of vegetables, skim yogurt, pasta, and salad can sway strongly pink. it's not about "healthy and unhealthy" the way people think of it.

Yes, I do think people can always have boys and girls on any given diet.

[Prayingforagirl67]

This is very true, and you’re 100% right. My diet before conceiving my son was very fast food unhealthy kind of unhealthy which did have a lot of nutrients and was very high in everything honestly lol
I get what you mean about the nutrients and it does make sense.

[atomic sagebrush]

exactly. People will regularly tell me things like "but I would eat a whole package of Oreos at one sitting and that's so unhealthy, why did I have boys?" and then I'm like "but there are 3000 calories in a package of Oreos" (and they were eating that in addition to their normal diet)

What is healthy in terms of fertility means "eating a lot of fat, protein, calories, and nutrients". What is healthy in terms of longetivity does not involve eating a lot, but eating adequate amounts. In animal studies, when animals go onto lower cal diets, they stop having babies, but live a long time!
