Are boys easier to sway for?

[janse]

I am curious if boys are easier to sway for especially if you have had a boy previously.

I am guessing it would be more difficult if you have one particular gender. We are being a little more relaxed with sway this month due to Christmas etc.

Have been bding more though, which I think may be the vitamins for DH

I don't think 'easier' is the right word. It really depends on what kind of lifestyle changes you have to put your body through, if you eat and live a more 'blue' lifestyle then it would be easier but if your lifestyle is totally pink and you want to sway blue, then you have to implement many changes. The only thing about blue swaying is that you can BD more often so DH is happier lol mine was miserable with my pink sway

Thank you for the reply.
The bding is getting a tad overwhelming.
Trying something new this cycle and there is way more action happening. Dh very happy :eyeroll:

I tend to skip breakfast so that has been the hardest. Rest of diet hasn't been too hard. Dh on vivitamins as well. He even got me a smoothie maker so I stop forgetting to eat something in the morning. Baby spinach is being added to everything

I agree! It can be a hard thing either way. For some people the LE diet might seem like starvation even though its not and the HE might make you think you are overeating. The exercise portion might be harder for some if they are used to being more sedentary. That for me was the harder part than the diet itself because I have so many joint and other physical problems. If I would have been trying to sway boy that regime would have been horrid on me. And I second on the girl sway sex life. It was almost clinical for us which DH didn't much care for. He would have been happier with a boy sway lol

The answer to this is...it depends. (you knew I was gonna say that, didn't you!)

I think the "window" for pink can be harder to hit, because pink swayers are trying to decline fertility without going too far and making it impossibe to get pregnant, which can be like trying to hit a moving target (and some of them are super duper fertile anyway and can just shake off many of the sway tactics). Whereas for blue, it's all about improving fertility and it's like a one way destination, for most people there is no "going too far" as long s they don't gain gobs of weight or have PCOS, so it's just an easier thing to pull off.

But that having been said, I do think that a minority of blue swayers (and Janse, this is probably not true for you since you do have a little guy already) have girls because of things that may be "set" and can't be changed. Health issues, infertility, etc. esp for DH. So for those people, swaying blue may be very difficult. For most people, as long as you've had a boy already these things are ~probably~ not going to be the case for you, but it's always possible to develop fertility issues or health problems at any stage in life.

THe blue swayers do find the HE type diet and sex patterns that come naturally to many of us boy moms to be really challenging!!! It is not easy for them, that's for sure.

I find the HE diet and the sex pattern very difficult! 5 girls 1 boy here.

My plan is to ttc a boy in july 2015. Ill start with breakfast everyday in January. Baby steps.

[Nahri]

That would have been hard for me. Ive ALWAYS been a breakfast skipper due to time or just not feeling good.

I could sway boy in my sleep LOL! Which is why I have 2 boys! It all depends on what you're used to. For me, swaying girl was hard because of the LE diet, which is totally different than what I eat normally. I agree with Atomic that with the girl swayers it's a fine line between swaying hard enough to get a girl, but not decreasing your fertility so much that you can't get pregnant OR stay pregnant. A fine line that I have yet to be successful at.
