Success rate of gender swaying....did it work for you?

[Junglemum]

So i have two lovely girls and would be stoked to have another but i'd be lying if i said i didn't want a boy.
I have read a couple of the gender swaying threads and wow, what a lot of theories and hard work.
Call me lazy, but it leaves me wondering if it's worth the effort or if it really is a 50-50 chance.

So if you gender swayed were you successful? Or not?
If you were what method did you use? diet? ph? timing? moon? or listening to the voices in your head?

Yep worked for us. We tried gender swaying with our current pregnancy. We did the timing thing, as in only had sex till 4 days before ovulation. Ended up with the little girl we were hoping for. Or so say the scans...

[Diamond Girl]

Nope. Supplements, timing, position, low PH (me in 4s, DH in 7s) favouring girl resulted in DS2.

Luckilly, DH and I are both very happy our sway didnt work actually because then we wouldnt have our beautiful DS2, and DS1 wouldnt have had a baby brother.

We are NOT swaying again. Im not wasting time and money for something that obviously doesnt work for me.

But hey, swaying should work at least 50% of the time and considering its cheap and easy, why not give it a go?

[Junglemum]

Diamond girl, i don't think i want a boy badly enough, it all seems a bit hard!

My two girls were a result of DTD on O day ( i think!), and i pretty much eat all the things on the TTC Boy list i saw so what hope do we have.

[Doing my best]

I think it is sheer luck.. The most effort I went to was guestimating ovulation time and DTD at that time for DS..

[lilima]

worked for me. I DTD about 4 days before O and had DD. With DS DTD on O day and had a boy. But who knows?! Maybe would have been that way anyway

[~Kim~]

nah, we did the diet and timing to get another girl so DD would have a sister....we have DS.

DD has made it clear sh doesn't want another brother....so not sure how that's going to pan out lol.

Worked for us, we DTD on O and got DS. DTD 5 days before O and got DD1. DTD 5 days before O and got DD2. This time we DTD on O only .... and who knows if we are successful again for a boy, only time will tell.

[Trillian]

We did it for DS2 and it worked. I realised that I get EWCM before I O and the day after the EWCM is gone, I get O cramps. So when TTCing we only DTD on the day that I had the cramps and then held my breath until the morphology scan LOL. In hindsight, when we were TTC 2 and 3, we DTD from the middle of my cycle until after EWCM had gone and we got the two girls, so I'm assuming that because I O after the EWCM, that doing what we did was possibly why we got the girls. We didn't do any diets or anything like that at all for any of them.

[Junglemum]

*scratches chin* clearly i am NOT well educated in O'ing. I though O'ing co-incided with EWCM, which is the only way i have ever know i O'd. Maybe that's why we have 2 girls. I don't think i could be bothered taking my temp, and not sure if i'd get an ovulation thermometer here in the jungle. So day after ya reckon Trill?

How do know when you O Mel? i know there's a zillion articles, but i like to think we're sitting around a table having a chat.

[Arimeh]

Haha... what a chat indeed... umm I know I O because I have EWCM and its on day 14 of my cycle - but I am regular as regular.

[Ginger]

ds1 was way out from O - so the health teacher from school told me he was definitely a girl

[maz]

Hmmmmm

with mini me we did it 2 -3 times a day EVERY DAY that month....I kid you NOT. We really should have ended up with another boy but allas...Princess big mouth was made

With tank we DTD what I thought was the end of my cycle as I thought I was sae to NOT fall pg and what happens...hello doddles!!!!

What's ment to be will be...we'll thats what this at duck thinks

[Ginger]

dh's theory is that if the father is unfit and drinks lots of beer, the baby will be a boy

[Arimeh]

PMSL!!! wellllll.... DH drank lots of beer when we first got together so that works for DS and then he switched to wine - so maybe thats it.. beer for boys, wine for the layyy-deees
