I have 5 other kids conceived all in month 1.....im starting to do stuff now to get ewcm.....i know it lowers my chances of a girl but im not using any llubes only diet and not getting pregnant.

A lot of pink swayers on here have struggled as your doing things to lower your fertility. Our boys were all conceived first month, two of them the month before we decided to start trying properly. This little one took 3-4 cycles to catch

Me..this is cycle 6 for me. Sigh.

Cycle 8 here. Ds1 took 14 months and Ds2 was a one-hit wonder. I did everything in the book the first few months but gradually loosened my sway until now, and I really have no sway left. My only factors that I'm keeping my fingers crossed about are being old than I was when I conceived my boys, and obviously NOT being super fertile. TTC unsucessfully has kind of humbled me and put me in the mindframe that I really have very little power in these matters anyway.

cycle 10 here and i'm in the tww - i don't think it happened this month either.
we have 6 boys incl twins with third pregnancy all were conceived between 1 and 3 months
our youngest is 2 and a half and since his birth in 2010 hubby has quit smoking, a total careers change we eat very differently now to what we used to so a few different factors to when we were ttc our boys

Cycle 5 for me, actually 6 but we took last month off because I needed a break and didn't want to have morning sickness when we go away in a few weeks. Both my boys were one month. My sway has really got slack, I agree with cravingsalt the longer you go without conceiving the more you feel its not in your control. I think its good in a way, helped me to let go of what I want and trust in God and his plans and timing for us.

perhaps you were just really lucky with your previous fast conceptions? remember that the average couple takes 6 months of actively TTC before conception, so 3 months doesn't seem exceptionally long in the scheme of things. I wouldn't start cutting much out yet - unless you'd prefer a small age gap mre than anything. I think pink would be worth waiting a couple of extra months for? sorry, don't mean to be dismissive but it is still a short itme overall.

Yes, I'm very thin. Actually if I'm not preg this cycle think I'm not gonna do the diet anymore other than maybe cut back on my protein a but.

I'm on cycle 5 now, but really it's 4 because I think when we decided to ttc on the first month I just missed O. I took about 6 months on my first, but at that time was still in the mindset of dtd anytime and it would happen. I had no clue on my fertility window back then. On the other 2 it was about 4 months or so. My sway has gotten super lax, beyond lazy, this month non existant with all the holiday baking and eating. Watch, this will be the month that it happens. And I'm OK with that. I think. Yes, I'm OK with it. I think that trying month over month makes me think it really is just goig to be luck for me. Plenty of people have never heard of swaying and get their DG without doing anything differet at all. Maybe that will happen for me, maybe it won't. My mom had 4 boys, then 3 girls. My sister had 3 boys, then a girl. My MIL had 3 boys, then a girl. A friend from HS had 3 girls, then a boy, and is now preggo with another boy. My aunt had 3 girls then a boy. My grandmother had 6 girls then a boy....Point being, NONE of them swayed that I know of, and it happened, albeit some a little later than others. If it's meant to be for me then wonderful. If not, I'll snuggle up nice and close to my sweet baby boy and give up on the baby girl for me.
