We Gave Up and Got Pregnant
We were TTC a girl for over a year. I admit I gave up on the LE diet. We were using clomid at one point for 6 months - but it didn’t work. 2 months after stopping clomid, got pregnant. We also started with 1 Attempt at positive OPK. Added more attempts when that wasn’t working. On my last cycle of clomid we tried SMEP but it didn’t work. One attempt last month. Then this month we did attempt on CD10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. Ovulated on Day CD15 or 16. Positive pregnancy test at 6dpo.
The only things that may have helped us:
- DH on Lexapro
- my vitamin D is low (11) actually didn’t know until recently.
- husband drinks alcohol every night
- I don’t exercise at all. I’m basically an atrophied pile of mush.
- often skip breakfast
- DH has medically low testosterone
- DH had low sperm count
- takes hot showers every night
- wears tight underwear
Things that didn’t help:
- High stress job
- eat whatever, lots of carbs and sugars and fats and fast food if I’m being honest.
- I’m not overweight or underweight. I feel the biggest I’ve been in my life but BMI is under 30 still.
- lots of attempts around ovulation (all 4 days leading up to ovulation, ovulation, and day after ovulation).
Things I don’t know about:
- my husband is overweight. Does that sway boy?
- we TTC for over a year. Does that sway any direction?
- my husband’s Lexapro makes finishing difficult so we basically used a cup method for all of our attempts. Does that sway boy, because it’s not jump and dump? Or girl? Because sperm have to swim up?
Seems like I failed the more important ones. Wish me luck.

I think you guys had a good sway. not only all the things you said were possibly working for you but also:
Stress sways pink
High carb and vegetable/transfat diet sways pink for many people
Overweight hubby sways pink
We have found couples who have a hard time getting pregnant (for no apparent reason) have more girls
We have also found that more TBM babies like you're describing, with a cup, are girls (even with blue sways.)
So there's a lot to like here! Tons of pink dust headed your way!!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!
