Hi all! We have 2 boys: 4.5yrs and 2.5yrs old. Now trying to sway pink. We did 1 cycle of IVF in July hoping to be able to do PGD, but our 2 embryos didn't make it to the day 5 stage, so now we are trying it the "natural" way. But my cycle is off now, which I didn't know could happen after IVF. My August period was WAY late, which is not my norm. My REI doctor put me on progesterone to trigger my period, but then I didn't get a period only to realize that the bleeding that I did have during the progesterone period was likely my period. So we missed the window this month, too. I'm trying to keep the stress/anxiety at bay by telling myself that this just gives me more time to the sway. I'm not good with the diet. I'm trying to be more conscious about what I'm eating, less snacking, less breakfast. Good part is that I'm doing the exercise. I was just starting a running program (Couch to 5K program) in June, but this month I'm doing the 60 minutes of cardio 5 days a week. For me who has also been more of a couch potato than exerciser, that's basically a miracle. I haven't lost any weight, though, but I feel slimmer. Hoping TTC ASAP.

Sweet thing seems like we have a bit in common! I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, it's so tough. Although I'm terrified of multiples again, like you if it were girls it would seem less daunting and as I also have a sister I'm very close to I know what you mean about giving a daughter a sister. She is so important to me now my mum has gone, that've a close female relation who totally understands my craziness! Although saying that I'm sure lots of ladies are also very close to brothers. I also have a brother, there is a big age gap and we are close but not like with my sister. He looks at me like I'm bonkers sometimes lol! I'm very much a mothering big sister with him and think I annoy him quite a bit! Yes we produced girls, all abnormals. It was a pretty equal split, think we got one more girl than boy actually, 8 girls in total. My biggest worry was we just couldn't make girls, it didn't occur to me they would be 'abnormal'.

Hi Bertiebear! I also find the diet hard, goes to show if there is something in all of this I have been completely leading a 'boy' lifestyle!

Boyzmommy I'm going to use rephresh, apparently it doesn't make a huge difference in the sway but I'm trying everything I can to be sure! Use about 12-24 hours before BD as it can kill off the sperm.

I feel really bad but need to rant and here is the only place I can do it! I'm so mean. I love my SIL she is one of life's genuine lovely people. I know she is ttc at the moment, she has a boy already. Both her and her husband are a bit overweight, exercise moderately, and have a diet high in red meat. I can't see they are doing anything that would help sway pink, but for years I've had an irrational fear of falling pregnant at the same time as her and me having another boy while she has a girl. A huge part of me would LOVE for her to have a girl, but I just would be so upset, especially after trying HT and now putting everything into a sway, if she ended up with a girl without really trying and I didn't. I'm already mentally preparing myself for it, to try and not show how upset I would be. I feel like such a horrible person

Ttc2015 - if you're mean, I'm just as bad. My sister has 2 sons and before she conceived her ds2 I should have and could have told her about this site and swaying but I chose not to. I still should tell her but selfishly I'd be devastated if she got a dd and I didn't. [emoji22]Eek! Just read that back! Buuut... If my sway works, I'll definitely tell her! [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

[Ttc2015]

Oh it sounds bad when you read it back doesn't it?!! It's not that I don't want her to have a daughter, she hasn't mentioned that she has a preference, I would love a niece! It's just the fear that I have so much vested in this and I really never wanted to be pregnant at the same time as her. Both my pregnancies everyone I knew had girls and it really felt like someone was rubbing salt in the wound.

Anyway.....now on day 14 of my cycle and still no positive from the opk. Last cycle I didn't get one at all and had my shortest recorded cycle of 30 days. I'm worrying I'm not ovulating now! Or if I miss or mis time my fertile window when we try next month!

Omg I'm the same way. I'm horrible... My sister in law got pregnant a few months after me... I told everyone I knew she was having a boy.. Cuz I had a girl and I knew she would get what I wanted.. Sure enough they invited us over for a "grill out" ....I knew better... I'm not stupid.. They never have family over.. I told my husband he could go, but I wasn't going to go. Cuz I knew it was a gender reveal.. They just didn't wanna tell anyone.. I saw right through it. Surprise! It's a boy..... And I was still pregnant with my girl.. I was so upset. As if GD wasn't bad enough on its own.. He's now over a month old and I haven't even met him. They live 30 mins away.. They are so disconnected from our family on their own terms.. But they already have a girl.. It's SO not fair.. They would end up with the perfect family.. Ugh! Why and I so mean and bitter!!! I'm just planning on having a girl again even with all of my swaying :/ the odds of me getting a boy too just seem even further away since she already got the boy..

And I know I'm mean with it too cuz they had a miscarriage the very first time they got pregnant before their girl.. But they didn't care what gender they had then. since they were so afraid to lose another. So they had a girl and I was relieved. So then I fell pregnant and was so hopeful if get the boy.. Nope.. Girl.. Oh hey they're pregnant again and guess what? They got ur boy... stupid crap.. Lol!

Oh Nann it makes it so much harder when everyone around you appears to have what you want the most.....but quite often it isn't as simple as that. I wish I had at least one close friend who also had all boys too. I like to think my jealousy or whatever it is is the GD speaking, the irrational me, as I would never normally vibe so uncharitable. Maybe I don't deserve to get what I want!!!!

Hi all, just wanted to jump on this thread as we are in the midst of our TTC a girl attempt. We have 3 boys (13, 8, 4). Just wrapped up one attempt with no success this round. Been on the LE for about 1.5 months, with no exercise (but willing to change that), I'm already fairly small, but could still afford to lose a few extra pounds. Also doing FR release, thighty whities, hot bath before attempt, aspartame everyday, Zyrtex and Rephresh about 12 hours before attempt, and then one attempt @ +OPK, with immediate J&D. I'm thinking I better drop one of our methods or it might take forever to conceive. I do this every time though. I really really want a girl, and then once the failed attempts start adding up I get impatient, and voila...3 boys later. I really want to give it my best go this time around so only want to do what really works. This will definitely be out last baby. Any recommendations on what I should drop (or add)? I have spent days, not hours on this site pouring over the info, but it seems to have changed so much over the years and sometimes I feel like my head is spinning. Thanks in advance! Love this site so much!
