Chasing Dreams

For my boys, I ate alot of tomatoes and a high salt diet. My pre-swaying pH was high 5's. By changing my diet, my pH instantly dropped down into the low 4's (with supplements). Personally, I believe that diet, pH and supps are a huge factor.

I will know in a couple of weeks if the changes I made have resulted in a girl!

I was on BCP for 63 days of hormones and one week of sugar pills. We had heard of shettles and decided to try to "sway" for a girl by BDing a few days before I thought I would ovulate. We quit when I got lots of EWcm and when I was <excuse me to say> horny!

But after 8 months and not getting pregnant, we just decided to BD every other day past ov. We had been BDing every other day- got horny and BD'd two nights in a row- which I believe that was my ov day or possible the day before; then I layed down after for maybe 30 minutes with my hips up, and continued to BD every other day till a few days after ov. (I had a slow rise that cycle and I can't be sure of the exact day of ov.)

Our diet is normally very blue diet- to the T. And when I conceieved I hadn't heard of swaying with diet- just shettles timing... So we ate normally: Cereal in the mornings, canned soups, lots of salty and flavorful foods, tons of variety in nutrients, whole wheat bread, meat and potato... I also was drinking green tea every morning because I heard it helped you get pregnant. (Isn't that on the Blue diet?) Taking prenatals.

 I agree 100% ! for example yesterday there was a post from a pınk swayer asking about orange juice. I have seen many before . I think its mostly as we read only the FAQ for the sex we try . If one is swaying for blue, should know also everything about pink too

WHS~  I think what helped me the most was the BSF, Potassium, Multiple O's before and after DTD (Happy  LOL), and getting as close to Ovulation as possible. 

Good Luck and I hope you get a blue accident!

  

Thank you BSC! If i know i will def get a boy i will try tomorrow \ i can close my eyes when i know its the last one and a boy  but you know its never 100% and i should try for a baby which i am not ready for now So its the best to be ready in case of any other accident Happy Smile

Ah if i could only know there is nothing wrong ethically in PGD i would make it immediately My home in Jordan is only 30 min/ away from Farah hospital and I can arrange the cost easily

Back then I didnt even know about swaying! But looking at everything now, it was a boy attempt..

I am normally alkaline, love tomatoes, bananas, cheeses, salty foods, I am addicted to tea...

I also ate breakfast every morning.  I also took a prenatal multi vitamin. And after ttc, lied with my hips in the air for 30min's.

We conceived on ovulation day, we just both knew from that night we were going to be blessed with a baby, and we were Happy Smile

GL to everyone for attempts, I am dreaming of having my girl one day Hugs Violet

Im hurt by this comment... For one me and my DH did NOT make any mistake for sure. 

I didn't post my attempt but if someone pm me the spreadsheed I will fill it out. 

Both me and DH was on the diet, sups and drinks. We did not cheat on anything! Also used bs , ew and did MSU. There was no mix , ph was good , ew was clear as glass , used IC and did it on O day.I can go on and on .I did msu for 16 months I can do it in my dream. I did your "magic 7" and did not work. Also had 3 msu m/c.

I remember you told Rebirtha if she don't get a boy you take TBM  off the list.So why is that? She had a mix msu and she did not stick to the diet , drink and sups that month. (she told me so)What about me..?you don't take MSU of from the list for sure .

 Also I don't believe it's a "seasonal thing" . We did have girls before and some people did not come back after they find out it's a girl....Don't want to hurt no ones feeling here but I think we need a big bucket of luck to get the gender we want!

By the way Im also hurt by the comments  what ppl make about us having girls . Maybe they don't even relize it... No wonder we desappear...

she's right. I did have a mix and I totally slacked on diet and drinks the month I got my BFP. I did still take all the supplements though.

In Tamara's defense I don't think she meant it meanly at all. She is not saying that you messed up, but that you got a true opposite. She means people who make a "light" sway and have a fail are not true fails because they didn't do all the 7 factors (like you did). You would be considered a failed sway because you did a beautiful job at it, but still ended up with an opposite.

For what it is worth, I thought you did a great job, Flava! I read your plan and read a lot of your posts. I am so sorry you didn't hear boy.

ITA, I don't believe Tamara would consider what happened to Flava as a failed sway, but rather a true opposite. HOWEVER, the implication is still there that *most* of us with opposites got ourselves into that situation because we failed. It's frustrating and it's hurtful to be told that after you worked your ass off for something and endured a lot of sacrifice and loss, it still wasn't good enough because you made a mistake. It's especially difficult to hear it when it comes from people who DID get what they wanted. I'm sorry if people don't want to hear that, but it just is.

It is extremely difficult to control all 7 sway factors - how can you make your body O in the right moon phase? how can you control a genetic or other health condition? Lots of people like myself put forward a BIG effort and do not get their desired gender while some put forth very little effort and it works. Plus, let's not forget that the 7-sway factors here on IG aren't tested in this combination anywhere else but here on IG. We're *assuming* combining all these factors is best. Maybe some couples are simply 'un-swayable' or maybe, like me, you can get different outcomes despite very similar sways.

 Tamara means clearly that if you are sway in natural way and if its failed she doesnt consider it as a failed sway because she doesnt consider it as a "real swaying" / she says only 'f someone did all w'th MSU and still got the opposite then that means swaying is failed/ 

so she agrees with you already Flava\ she doesnt say you failed.

I mentioned especially that i am not speaking about the result / I speak about mistakes in swaying. I am a mother of my beautiful daughter if i have 10 daughters i never consider any of them as a mistake also i am very careful about this. ANy baby is a blessing i dont know any mother who thinks in other way . This is the soul of being a mother . If i am thinking about your baby as a mistake then i must have a very dirty soul

anyhow, if i hurt you even by mistake i am sorry .

You're right girls2mama, I should have called it a true opposite and not a fail. Fail does make it sound a bit mean. I do agree with you too that I think some couples may be unswayable.
