    DS1 - Did not sway. DTD daily from CD7-CD15. I o'd on CD14, so who knows which one resulted in DS1? Frequent BD is supposed to favour girls. Obviously not in my case.
    DS2 - Swayed heavily. 2.5 day cut off, took supplements, got PH down low which favours girls, went on girl diet.
    Baby 3 - Did not sway except that I used sylk as a lube (which is supposed to favour girls) and did not eat potatoes or tomatoes while ttc. DTD around O.

    I honestly do NOT believe in swaying, and I wish I never swayed with DS2 because I was so sad when my sway didnt work. I just expected him to be a girl because I swayed. This time, I have no expectations and will be happy with whatever I get.

    It doesnt hurt to sway as long as you are prepared for a boy, and who knows you may just get your little girl! I hope you do!

    We only had the chance to dtd once and I think it was about 3 or 4 days before O and we are now having a girl so that article may have a point

    With my first PG we DTD on the 2 days before ovulation and got a boy, with my second PG, as much as I wanted a girl, we only got a chance to DTD the day before ovulation and we still got a girl. It's definately not very accurate.

    I havent tried it myself, but i am proud to say that i AM the product of gender selection via the timing method. My parents had 2 boys and wanted a girl. Mum followed the theory that female sperms last longer but are slow, whilst boy sperms are fast but die faster. The theory is that if you TTC before as far before ovulation as possible you increase the chances of a girl. It worked to conceive me anways
    Also, my sister in law conceived by accident a girl in the same method!
