Our Sway For A Boy That Resulted In A BFP - What's Your Opinion?

 Hi, I'm Nikki.  DH and I are 28.    We had been tracking my cycles since January.  We started trying in May and got our BFP on July 9th.  I'd love it if you would take a minute to look at our sway and let me know what you think.  

 My Diet: I did not adopt the boy diet (kicking myself now because I am scared).  I did not eat any meat.  Had very little dairy.  Did have a good amount of sea food. Took high quality womens vitamins and increased my salt intake some.

The Attempt (Shelttes Method): DH had abstained completely for four days.  We had a positive OPK on June 18th and a second stronger +OPK four hours later.  We BD 14 hours after the first positive OPK.

An hour prior to BD, I douched with baking soda water and shortly added real organic egg whites.  I did not have PH strips to check the egg whites.

Directly after BD, I inserted an Instead Cup and laid down with my hips up for 20 mins.  I kept the IC in for 10 hours.  We did not have unprotected sex during other time during this cycle.  The first positive HPT showed up on 12 DPO.

So, what do you think our chances of getting a boy looks like?   We have an 11-month-old DD that we conceived with no sway whatsoever and would love to have a "pidgeon pair".

Thank You So Much,

 Nikki

I think you've got a really got chance at getting your boy with that sway. GL and I'm sending you all my BLUE dust.

 Thanks so much for your 2 cents and especially for the Blue Dust.  Here... have some Pink Dust left over from my little princess!

I'll take all you've got.

Sounds like a great attempt . How long did it take you to get PG?

 We got pregnant on our second cycle of trying.  However, I don't know if I would count the first cycle because I never got a positive OPK. I ran out one day before O was due and refuse to pay outrageous drug store prices for tests that are less sensitive.  My internet cheepies were in rounte, so I had just guessed that cycle.  However, I am so happy that it was actually the next cycle that I conceived, when I had gotten an actual positive.  

 I am worried about are the factthat I did nothing to internally raise my PH/my lack of the boy diet.  Also, I forgot to have a big O because I was so focus on getting DH contribution!  LOL, he does not do well under pressure.

 Thanks and Have a Great One,

 Nikki

I can understand how you feel... I hope one day if you do decide to go for three you will get your DD...  Good luck and god bless!!

 You had a good Shettles attempt and hopefully that will be enough for you! Shettles works for some people and others need  the boost of raising pH, diet, etc. Hope you hear boy in a few short months!

Hi Nikki, congrats on your BFP, i really hope its a boy for you, did you have any EWCM when your bd'd i had lots when i concieved my boys

 No EWCM .  I've never had this, not even when I conceived DD.

 Thanks!  I've taken two Intelligender tests (the 2nd at the company's expense) and the staff say that both pictures look like a boy result to them.  YAY!  I'm still trying not to put a lot of stock in it though.

 Have a great one,

 Nikki

Hi

Hoping that you and I both get to hear  soon.

Lots of people I know with babies swear by the timing method (shettles) plus all the extra you did all helps.

Good luck

Jen.
