Can you do HIIT for ttc a girl?

[emmir4356]

What are your thoughts on doing HIIT for conceiving a girl? No weights or muscle building activities, just spurts of high and low intensity of walking, or some running and walking for one hour? What do you think, atomic?

I’m not sure if it qualifies for HIIT or not, I never looked into it, but the walking/running intervals for an hour is what I did!

I started my sway May 2nd and started out just walking. It had been a long time since I had exercised so it took me a bit to build it up. But I went walking for 60min almost every day and slowly increased the pace, then sometime in June I added jogging intervals into into it, and then by July it had progressed to running intervals. I just throw on my playlist and set out, certain songs I would run to and then back to fast walking until the next “running” song came up.

Don’t know what we’re having yet of course, just thought I would mention that’s what I did for our girl sway. I lost 16lbs too between that type of exercise and the standard LE Diet so it definitely worked in that sense!

Thank you for that. How far along are you? When do you find out the gender? Keep me posted!

Oh gosh very early still, only four weeks today, I got my bfp at 9dpo because I’m crazy and test early. lol! Calling tomorrow to make my midwife appt and hopefully will be able to get the NIPT done which I believe is drawn at 9-10 weeks? So another 5-6 weeks to go at least!

This month was our first mont actively trying! I was on the standard LE diet for 15.5 weeks at the time of my bfp. Plus the exercise, and I also did fiber, coffee, and alcohol. We also only did one attempt at my first +opk this month which ended up being perfect timing, as I ovulated the next day according to my chart! (Link to my chart is in my signature or I can share if you’re on Tapatalk and can’t see my signature but want to).

I think we just got relatively lucky though, I believe the average time for conception is three months ish?

That's fine as long as you're losing at least some weight on a lower protein diet.

Just take care you don't get injured - one of the main reasons I like you guys walking is more for injury prevention than anything else.

Thanks for sharing! So it only took one month?

Atomic, I have noticed quite a few people that I know who have girls who get pregnant on the first try with them. Have you noticed on average that people who have daughters took longer to conceive vs. sons among those who sway and or among those who don’t?

I am definitely curious how some women say they got their daughters on the first try when I thought lower fertility sways pink. Don’t you have to be pretty fertile to get pregnant the first month of trying?

Which leads me to ask you about this one attempt discussed on here. Don’t you have to be pretty fertile to get pregnant on one attempt? If LE diet lowers fertility than how do people get pregnant on one attempt?

Thanks!

This is the exact same thing I’ve been asking myself ... both of my boys were conceived first try also.

“Does this mean I’m to fertile to have a girl?” has been in the back of my mind since I got my bfp.

I feel like it’s silly, because you always have a chance of a girl regardless, but it’s there nonetheless ...

Well like I mentioned before I know lots of women who have daughters who got pregnant on the first try. For example, Tara Henderson on YouTube had two girls first and then a boy as her third and she said that her first two daughters were on the first try and her son took a lot longer so you never know!!

Also, my parents had pigeon pairs (boy and girl) and for my brother it took them nine months and for me, I was a complete surprise, conceived after like a month or two of no protection and a one attempt (they didn’t know about swaying it was just natural).

Hang in there girl you’ll know the gender soon enough!!
