Gender Swaying Information #6

[*TripleJ*]

DS is on the boderline coz i dont know 100% the day he was concieved
this one would be positive (Aquarius) so boy i hope not lol

[alioops]

DD2 should be a boy then. I dont think it has anything to do with the moon, and the chinese charts all got it wrong for me.

[JellyBean]

mmmmm..... kinda as I suspected. And how would this theory explain twins of opposite gender? Conception at different dates is possible but extremely rare!

[Jennifer13]

I am keen to TTC a boy next time, so I'll be popping in for information that's going to have slightly better success for us!

[nickers]

just popping my head in here.
dh is not completley convinced we should have a 3rd but if we do, hopefully start trying in 5-6months.
i have 2 x DS and always imagined having a little girl.
i thought we were swaying when ds2 was conceived but turns out i O earlier and dtd right on O day!

so after any handy hints on conceiving a girl. im up with all the timing, ive charted b4 but im seriously dreading charting again, (not sure why)
but what are some other tips maybe like temp for the male etc etc?

[yomama]

Hi Nickers,

I tried swaying for a girl with my third and ended up with a boy, but from memory I done the timing (stopped BD 4days before O) didn't bother with the diet and I also tried the whole douching thing with vinegar and lime juice.. I really hoped for a girl but wasn't diappointed when my son came out

As for any other tips I'm not sure, maybe someone could help you who has actually succeeded in having a girl?

I still want a daughter.. hubby says once we buy a house and I settle into a new job we can have another baby in 3 years, that way I can go on Mat leave etc and I suppose it gives us time to save up to go overseas for the PGD so I'm happy that we have come to an agreement.

Take care everyone

Just a quick question - in regard to Rephresh and Replens, what is the difference between these two if TTC a girl?

[TMM]

hi all DH and I are just starting to TTC #4 and would dearly love a boy.

Any suggestions on how we can sway this?

I have tried google although google is definately not my friend and I am hopeless looking for anything, so links would be wonderful.

Thanks

[Freya]

Anyone still lurking here that can throw some swaying advice my way?

[Tanya]

What do you want to know?

[AmandaJ]

I'll be back in here in a month or two, then hopefully will be in full swing to sway for a girl.

[Freya]

Ive heard several different girl swaying diets and they all differ greatly. Whats the most common one?

I know about shallow ejaculation and no masturbation etc etc but Im interested in giving the diet a try.

[Tanya]

I know ingender have girl and boy cook books... you may have to google (can't post link). A-gender also have cookbooks, but you will have to pay for theirs, but it comes with support etc. There is also the french diet... don't know much about this one.

There is lots of info about gender diets too much info for me to go into here. I think you need to do a bit of reading about gender swaying and come to your own conclusion about which one suits you best and fits in with what make you feel most confident about your sway attempt.

Hi Amanda I hope you are doing ok. (((hugs)))

[Diamond Girl]

Amanda J - Im so sorry to hear your news . I hope you are ok at this difficult time.

Freya - Im trying the lesser known O+12 method with abstinence and some of the diet (provided by Tanya). Funilly enough, I did the boy diet (totally uninentionally) with both boys because my diet was full of tomatoes, bananas and potatoes which are all forbidden on the girl diet. Im also taking magnesium, calcium and cranberry supplements to lower ph.

Im not doing the Shettles timing method because Ive just seen too many boys created with the golden 2/3 day cut off both in here and in real life, so I dont trust it. To be totally honest, I dont think swaying works but I may as well give it a go.

Hi ladies,

Diamond Girl - my DS2 is one of those boys conceived with a 2 day cut off. So I honestly don't have much faith in shettles anymore either. I do however now have faith in things like pH levels of semen and cervical mucous, and diets & supps which can alter these levels.

We're hoping to try for a girl this time next year using those methods, combined with some other factors (we are going with a personalised plan from a-gender).

I'm still sceptical about whether swaying really does work or not, but like you, I figure I may as well give it a go if we're going to have 1 more child - nothing to lose, right?

[girlonamission]

I've heard a lot about this Jonas Study thing too. Interestingly, here are my results

DS1 - conceived around 15 June (fairly confident of date) - Gemini which is BOY
DS2 - conceived around 19 Aug (again, fairly confident) - Leo which is BOY

So, for me, that is CORRECT.

I've also had a personalised analysis/plan done with a-gender as we're TTC a girl next year, and based on personal biorhythms (?? I think thats what it is??) DS1 was conceived when DH was in strong BOY time and I in NEUTRAL, and DS2 conceived when I was in strong BOY time and DH in NEUTRAL. AND, they were both conceived during FULL MOON phases. So...its all very interesting.

ANYWAY, i have another question, I'll post here first but I might also ask in the charting area if I don't get many responses...

My LP has always been around 10-11 days at most (I know it was definitely no longer than this before I conceived DS2, not sure about DS1). Also, I tend to have lower pre-O temps (around 36.2-36.4c). Apparently these two factors can mean your cycle is more BOY friendly.

My question is, has anyone conceived GIRLS under similar circumstances?

Also, have you taken VITEX whilst TTC a girl, to help with these fertility issues and also to help conceive a GIRL (as VITEX is also supposed to be girl friendly)?

TIA!!!

Girl on a mission - My DS2 was a 1.5-2 day cut-off too. I want to believe swaying works but I cant. I was so sure my sway worked with DS2 that I used to call him 'she' until I found out at 20 weeks she was actually a he. I wouldnt change him for the world now, but it would be nice to see what its like to have a DD. DS3 would be just as lovely though.

I could've written that word for word!

I too convinced myself that our "sway" worked and I often referred to him as "she" while I was pregnant. I sooooo wanted him to be a girl, and so did everyone else around us. I used to imagine the moment that "she" would be born and we'd be sending our "its a girl" text announcement etc, so when they said "its a boy" it took a few moments to digest it and actually accept that its final now, there's no uncertainty, it really is a boy.

Not that I don't adore him and love him to bits - he's a gorgeous child, and has so far been much easier than my first DS. But I still dream about what it must be like to have a daughter...

I had several friends who all had their 2nd child around the same time as me - they ALL had girls, I was the only one who had a boy. They all had boys for their first children, so for me that hit me even harder.

BUT.....here we are, 12 months down the track, and the possibility TTC#3 is back on the agenda. Although I don't know if this swaying is really going to work for us, I'll never forgive myself if we don't at least try. If we try all the theories and stick to the current advice, and still have a 3rd beautiful son, at least I wont have any regrets and spend the rest of my life wishing we'd given it a go.

Good luck - I hope you get your girl, I really do!! I honestly, 100% understand exactly what you must be feeling and contemplating at the moment.

ETA - sorry Diamond Girl, if I'd bothered to read back further I would've seen you're trying the O+12 method!! Good luck with it - I don't trust myself enough to get that one right!! I'd stuff it up for sure!
