Second try - swaying for a boy after 3 girls
Hi everyone!
I'm new here, but I have been reading a lot in here for the last couple of months. I'm currently 1 or 2 dpo, this was my second try swaying for a boy. Been on the boy diet since August (I started reading about it on Ingender, but then I adjusted it after reading some stuff in here, didn't avoid milk for example, have been eating the full fat one with my cereals in the morning).
I'm really tired of this diet now, potatoes, bananas, tomatoes and meat coming out of my ears soon lol.. I usually eat vegetarian food, very little milk products, never ate breakfast before this (or maybe a smoothie once in a while) so it has been a big change for me
I have three daughters already, and a baby brother would be lovely (but another girl will be fine as well ofc) With my last two girls I only had sex at the day of ovulation (I had heard it swayed boy) but well, no boy for me (didn't have sex for over a week until O-day, and confirmed O with opk+temp)
This time I decided to try to dtd a little bit more often lol.. We dtd at day 9, 12,13 and 14 and I most likely ovulated at day 14 in the evening or in the night towards day 15 (had a solid smiley on clearblue advanced at cd 13 in the morning). Hopefully we have a good chance at conceiving this month!!
Don't know what I wan't with this post, just me babblin' and waiting for the days to pass - this 2ww is awful!
.. And sorry for my english, I live in scandinavia.

Hi Sofieelises!
Your attempts\ diet changes look great fx it gives you a BFP this month, and even better, your boy
I have three girls too, and will ttc later this year .. we’ve got similar age gaps as you ( 6.5/4 and almost 2).. and also had gender disappointment with my last two, esp dd3 ( had done this Blue Sway)..
I’ll be keen to see your results!
It’s funny, We live in Australia but am Danish ( grew up in France though lol).
If you have any questions , feel free..there’s a good chance I’ve researched it already lol

I think you're on target for a great blue sway!
If you're dying on the diet please remember you don't have to stuff yourself with the potassium foods. Potatoes, tomatoes, and especially, especially bananas are NOT magic boy making foods. My daughter is like 30% potato! So feel free to dial it back on those things because bananas especially are just empty cals that don't even have much potassium in them. If you're having meat and smoothies and cereal the odds are sky high you're getting all the potassium required by the mineral diet already!

Hi and thank you for replying!
Tell me everything about your failed sway, did you follow a diet, supplements, timing etc? I don't believe in swaying really (I believe in coincidence) but what the heck, I'm giving it a try anyway..
Oh that's so cool, I live in Sweden and I looooove Denmark and the language - I had a boyfriend who came from Denmark a couple of years ago. Danish is pretty similar to swedish (well, if you read it anyway ).
How is Australia, are you safe from the fires?? My best friend lives in Melbourne actually.. She sent me some pictures the other day (don't know if it was Melbourne or somewhere else) but it was smoke all over the town. Terryfying.
I will keep you updated - 6 dpo today!!

OMG this was exactly what I needed to hear today!! Thank you atomic, I will throw those bananas out the window instantly, they are the worst..... (Guess I'm still very "coloured" from IG, been on that site for over two years ).

Hey I totally get it, it's very hard to give up on some of that stuff!! (most of us on here, at least to start with, had opposites on IG so it was easy for us to move past it!) But the bananas are not even very good sources of potassium! Just like eating a bunch of sugar and starch for a very small amount of potassium which you're already getting elsewhere!

Hello, Atomic hopefully you will see this! It has definitely been a while. I am not TTC, my cycles have been MIA for over a year, I'm quite certain. I have not been charting but haven't had it....
Not sure where to ask not TTC
