    Yes she did and it was a successful pink sway.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

  2. Thanks atomic sagebrush thanked for this post

    Also, I SO LOVE your avatar. I really, really, really wanted to name my daughter Margot but we already have a Marshall and I thought we would be forever known as "the crazy Mar-People"

    Then, very, very weirdly, the heroine in Wes Anderson's next movie was Suzy. Which actually is my daughter's name, spelled exactly the same and everything. (cue spooky music, or since this is a Wes Anderson movie, an obscure 70's song by Cat Stevens)

    Wow. Your sway story is amazing. Thanks for the link.

    Yep. I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan and Margot has been my (and DHs) #1 girl name since we started thinking of a family 6 years ago.

    I don't think you missed a question...but I'm not able to keep up with all the stuff on here...I'm so impressed at how you get back to everyone with such personalized comments. It's pretty great.

    I'm meeting with OB next week, if we get the thumbs up on a third pregnancy I have some more questions on swaying but for now I'm just lurking and catching up with all the old material on here. DH is pretty intrigued with the science/trends behind some of this too...but I'm trying not to get my hopes up since I have a feeling I'm going to get a big fat "Bad Idea" from the OB....sigh.

    Margot is a beautiful name. Wasn't Margot adopted into the all boy Tenenbaum family? Maybe I'm misremembering...

    I wish you the best in this journey.

    Yes she was! Our family already has a Chas and Richie (no joke - my boys are just a quirky and bright in their own ways) so a little Margot would definitely make the plot line of our family story fun ;0)
    Just got the thumbs up from my OB to keep moving forward. At least the door was not slammed in my face. Baby steps.

    Congratulations on getting the thumbs up from your OB!

    I see online that in real life Wes Anderson was one of three boys with no sister, and I think in the movie the parents had all biological sons and grandsons with no girls... I should watch that movie again.

    I guess it makes sense that this gender stuff effects us in deep lifelong ways, consciously or subconsciously.

    I guess it makes sense that this gender stuff effects us in deep lifelong ways, consciously or subconsciously. My mom was lucky to always get the gender she longed for, each and every time: GBGB. But she herself had been one of seven girls out of eight children. While I was growing up I remember she occasionally made comments about the world having an excess of women and girls.
    There are seriously a TON of super duperly creative people in all one gener families. Joss Whedon is one of 5, Hayao Miyazaki is one of 4, Jonas Salk and the Leakey family (anthropologists) are one of 3 boys, Laura Ingalls Wilder is from an all girl family, as is Virginia Woolf, I could go on and on.

    I believe there is something strangely freeing about being in an all one gender family. Ya don't have to be "the boy" or "the girl" in a family of all one gender, it sort of frees you up to be what you want to be instead of having to fill in some familial role.
