Your probably the first girl i've seen on here swaying pink with girls already - you should be an expert!! Were you on clomid with your daughters or did you have the same sort of lifestyle etc ?

Congrats on your pg, fingers crossed for a sticky baby x

I love my girls, and really wanted one more! This was my first Clomid cycle ever. I've been vegetarian for many years, but I think my lifestyle was different with each pregnancy--with DD #1, I was working as a fitness instructor and in grad school, so I did a ton of cardio, got little sleep, and was very stressed. With DD#2, I was exercising less, and weighed more.
I have conceived boys, at least once, probably twice, and maybe even more times, and more recently than my daughters. I've only really swayed for two of my seven (eek!) pregnancies, this one and the last (miscarriage of chromosomally abnormal boy).
It's funny, because I thought my last sway was PERFECT (I had a plan, and followed it precisely) and it resulted in a boy, whereas this sway was kind of halfhearted, and the early results from my CVS show that it's a chromosomally normal GIRL.
I am over the moon, but I do think there's a lot of luck involved in swaying.
I did have good results from Clomid, and hope you do too!

Aw thank you hunny and huge congrats on hearing pink again, 3 lovely ladies, your dh will be having a heart attack with 3 stunning teenage girls to be protective over!

Do you mind me asking, when did you do your cvs, was it optional or something your doc had to do and which country are you in, sorry for all the questions its just its something i am considering this time although i am concerned about the miscarriage rates and its something i would have to do privately (i'm at no real risk and they do blood tests and percentages and then a test if needs be, but i have one child with special needs (although that would not show a blood test i know that and if something happened again we'd deal with it) but i'm not sure we could handle another with worse issues it would not be fair to the children we have)

[mariposa]

congrats on your pregnancy!!! FX for a healthy pink bundle!!
