ttc thread - swaying again in 2017 :)

[4blue2pink]

Hey girls this is a great post so thanks 4blue! And congratulations on your girls I really hope I'm as lucky as u one day.

I started my sway on 1st November - so I'm weighing up wether to have my first attempt in Jan or Feb . Over Xmas I prob cheated 3/4 days In a row not too bad but definatley went over in fat &I didn't exercise for those days either who does on Xmas day?!

so I can't decide - but one thing I now have going for me is I have had a sickness bug since the 30th and haven't eaten much other than toast for 3 days I've had awful cramps and nausea so dropped a few pounds so hoping if I try in 2 weeks time this could be a good thing ?? What do u think ?
I know I prob won't fall pg first time anyway so talking hyperthetically really!!

Five boys I remember following your journey last year when I was looking to go to your clinic then I changed to Cyprus then we moved house for the second time in one year so had no money to persue it nor mentally could I do it I was in a bad place - sow eve decided to sway for a little girl after 2 boys (5&2) really hoping it works !!
I'm on folic acid vitex and SP and aspirin still 3 days a week my husband has low sperm so Is not doing supps just having some soy now and again.

Anyway it's great to see some lovely ladies on here trying hoping we can all help eachother ! Xxx

hey BB! a sickness bug is how i got my 2nd daughter (1st was the loss) i wasnt swaying but as it worked out we did 1 attempt that month then i came down with gastro and was totally wiped out for 4 days (it was hideous!!) so i wrote that month off due to the illness (barely able to eat anything) and only having sex once but surprise surprise 2 weeks later bfp and a girl!! so last time i tried to re-create the differences (without the illness!!) through LE diet for prolonged periods of low blood sugar and only having 1 attempt.. i am convinced low blood sugar and 1 attempt are the key to getting girls best of luck with your sway my fingers are crossed for you!! personally id go for it in 2 weeks use the illness to your advantage and just stick to your LE diet once your able to eat again, if bfn then just keep plodding on till the next month.. whatever you decide keep us updated xx

Hi everyone! Great to hear your stories!
I'm swaying blue...I started HE diet beginning of october, so 3 months ago. We have one DD who will be 11 months in a week's time....that's going quick!!
I'm currently on cd10 but we aren't trying this cycle as DH leaves for a boy's trip tomorrow and we'll miss our window.
Doesn't bother me though as we said we'd start trying again when she turned 1. We are going to try next cycle, so end of the month.
I totally understand how I had a girl - lived a very LE lifestyle in regards to diet and my job as a dance teacher. Hoping that won't affect my boy sway too much. I've been lifting to get in some weights now too. Also was on clomid for her, so another huge sway. Good luck everyone!

hi dd its amazing how so many of us find this site and can immediately see why we have the genders we have isnt it!! it sounds like your doing everything to get the best chance at blue!! as a mum of 4 boys all im going to say is snack snack and snack some more!! never too many snacks!! haha im certain snacking and frequent bd got me my boys good luck and keep us updated!! you can have all my blue dust xx

Hi Ladies, would love to join in. I'm swaying for a girl after two boys, and tentatively planning our first attempt for March 2017. Tragically, I lost a baby girl in October at 20 weeks pregnant (due to a retroplacental hematoma).

I hope & pray that I'll be lucky enough to get another chance Xxx

hi MrsT i am so sorry for your loss <3 i lost my first girl mid-pregnancy too, though we never got an answer as to why it happened, it was so devastating.. but never give up hope! its terrifying trying again after such an experience but you have every chance at a healthy pregnancy with a happy outcome i'll share a quote that i found helped me.. "you know you are ready to try again when the desire for another baby outweighs the fear of another loss" this certainly rang true for me. my fingers are crossed for you for march or whenever you decide to try, best of luck with your pink sway and praying for a healthy pregnancy for you to help heal your family keep us updated xx

Thank you for the lovely reply The quote is so very true.

I'm so sorry for your loss also, but it gives me hope to 'meet' other survivors like you. I'm so glad you went on to have healthy sons AND daughters!

My fingers are crossed for you too Xxx

yes im with you on that, i find it helpful to meet/find others who have been through it as well and if me sharing my story can help in some small way then im glad so thankyou for letting me know it helped. for me it will be 6 years tomorrow since she was born silently into this world and though i cant go back and change what happened i do feel there is meaning to be made from the experience and knowing it can help others in even the smallest way helps me to find some purpose in it all.. and if it helps to know about successfull pregnancies after loss i have had 5 since my loss, 3 boys and 2 girls all full term and all healthy, i wont lie the fear is always there with each one and i think it always will be, but its mind over matter for me i find xx
