Did you gender sway?

We had sex only once in the month I conceived and we did it on the day of ovulation which I think is meant to increase chance of a boy...we got a beautiful daughter.

We didn't use any conception methods with the first three, but with the 2nd and 3rd we DTD on the appearance of EWCM and got girls (which doesn't really mean anything LOL - could have just as easily gotten boys) when conceiving #4 we DTD the day of O (signalled by cramping, which was coincidentally after the appearance of EWCM) and the following day only for that cycle and did get a boy. No proof at all that shettles did work, so even though successful using that 'method' it can't be 100% proven.

ETA - we only used the missionary position

We used alot of the Shettle's Method in order to get a girl and both of our 2 scans at 19-22 weeks confirmed we are having a girl

This is what we did:
* DH wore undies for 5 days (by day only) during AF (to adjust sperm count)
* We regularily DTD every second day after AF (to lower sperm count also) until 2 days before O
* We used missionary position, DH withdrew a little on ejaculation (so that the boy sperms who die sooner will not make it to the egg in time)

its really to up in the air this swaying stuff!!! hard to judge if doing anything actually reaults in what you want or if its just the way it goes!!

for us when we got preggers with sophie, DTD the night prior to o'ing, deep penetration, so going by some sites we should have had a boy!!

With conceiving at the end of the day its really a 50/50 chance.. with swaying, doesnt guarantee you will have a certain sex.. but i think just increases the chances if all done to the book. It is hard though to guess when you will O, esp when TTC a girl..

Definately a gamble, so it is really hard to say either way if it worked or if it was just pure coincidence that you got the gender you were trying for. With DH, he only ever wears underpants, and we got 2 of each, and our diets weren't really conducive to definately getting one gender or the other either.
