Hi Ladies,

I wanted to post the link of the sway that I just love!  Mia followed the diet relgiously and she had her little girl just a couple months ago.  After looking at all the sway and successes on IG, this is the one that stuck out the most to me.  I am trying to use this sway as my guide.  I believe the only idfference is that my DH will not take supplements.  And I am hoping that this will be okay, but I have seen a LOT of successful sways where the DH didn't really do anything.

I thought you all might be interested inreading her sway, so I have posted the link below.

Hello Ladies! I am brand new to In Gender! I'll appologize now as I don't know a lot of the lingo yet or the abbreviations so I might be a bit long winded. I have two sons, 2.5 years old and 8 months old. Both were conceived on the second month of trying with no gender plan whatsoever. We were hoping for a girl for #2. My husbands family has almost all boys. His sister is the only girl of his generation. We want to attempt a gender sway for pink *fingers crossed* but are still undecided on whether we want to attempt this summer making #2 and #3 19-21 months apart...or wait an extra year and they'd be nearly 3 years apart. It's funny how i've always wanted a spring baby, and then when we started our family, we had one in Sept and one in august. It's no wonder they were boys with all the factors that I am learning about! Anyway, I've been reading a lot, and coming up with a plan. I've purchased some PH strip and ovulation tests online and they should arrive soon. We are looking to purchase a microscope as well. My husband thinks this is all "hokus pokus" but is willing to try anything natural to get our girl. I hope I can convince him to take some suppliments. I was just today reading about the TBM and it sound interesting. I am wondering what success rate is like for having a girl. I've had some questions along the way. One being...with all of these weird things women are doing to try and get the gender prefered, is it taking soooo long to get pregnant? With timing cut offs, lime douches etc....I am wondering if it can take forever to get preggers. i would really like my girl to be born in spring, so i NEED to get preggers in the summer! Thoughts? For my sons, we bd almost every day through my whole cycle and it took two months. Thanks ladies and I look forward to reading your posts!

Hi Ladies!

 BushelandPeck... thank you so much for the info on the replens from other ladies' sways... super helpful   So, with the first quote you had, she said she used "1 finger" amount every other day and then a "fingertip" amount before BD... do you think she used a whole finger amount on the every-other days??  I think that is where I am always confused... is how much to use of the stuff!   There must be a reason why Tamara says to only use a fingertip amount of replens/rephresh/etc..., right??  And then with the second quote you listed... she used a tiny bit twice a day in week of 0... did she put it all the way up on/at the cervix all those times, or just at the entrance?  And then she used it 5 min. after BD... then she probably just used it at the entrance of the vj forsure, right? ...  Ha-ha.. I am making this into a big deal I think, huh??

I just tested my ph a couple days after AF and I am at 5.5.  That is without any CL for a good week or more.  I thought about starting to drink a bit of the CL again and see if it lowers it... I am curious what really lowers ph too... I know everyone's bodies are different... but it's all so interesting and complex, isn't??

MV... I was laughing at your post when you were talking about the lime tampons vs. regular during AF... and having to do yet another expierement! ... so funny and so true!!...I feel like everything is an expierement right now!!..LOL  Okay, so you said you are planning on using the rephresh every other day during your O week, right?  How much do you think you will use?  Is it safe to use more than a fingertip amount when hoping to conceive?  What are your thoughts?  I am still a little hazy on this part... I keep thinking about how other ladies and sways didn't use any replens or douche before or after and didn't have super low ph... like Desires'... she said her ph was 5.5-6, right?  Anyway, I just want to "up" my chances of a BFP on our attempt... because I am so ready to be done with this diet and constant obesessing and expierementing!...

lala27... I am so with you on your questions about the replens/etc. at the entrance... though, I do understand that it does still affect the ph up at the cervix... it's all so confusing still to me to

A&R mommy... I just wanted to comment on your asking about doing the opposite of what we did to get our boys... I SO wish I would have been charting/temping/etc... to follow my cycles back when I was having my boys... I have not clue when I ovulated and such... but I do know that we BD every single day the month when we coneived our first son.... we had had a miscarriage a few months before and it was so tramatic and sad (first pregnancy and such....) that we were SO ready and excited to try again!!   Now, I know my DH must have a high sperm count as well and without the supps. and diet he's been on.... I am sure there were a lot of boy swimmers in super high PH!   So, all this to say, I do agree that there is some sense to doing the opposite of what we did with our boys.... but I also think there is a lot being done with our bodies and chemistry being on this diet/supps./huge life changes,  to also play a big role in all of this :)  I think your plan sounds great.... and it's wonderful to have confidence about whatever sway plan you choose!

We will be borrowing our microscop tomorrow... I am so excited about what we'll see!  So, MV, BeadinBabe and others who have looked at the samples... I am looking for the straight, fast swimmers most likely being boys and the slower, circle-swimmers, or zig-zag swimmers, being the girls??  Any other tips?

Welcome new ladies!

Thanks Mountain Views! I know I am experimenting rt now with using CL and cranberry alone to lower it. Today I got a little nervous bc I tested about an hour or so after my supplements and it went from 4.7 to in the 5s! I am hoping this was a fluke event. I also had an upset stomach and was drinking gingerale so maybe that was what raised it? I will experiment again tomorrow. I really hope it is not the calcium! I guess if I cannot get it naturally I will have to try replens. But I am so nervous as it tends to raise PH for a lot of ladies. This really is so much work! But so worth it for the chance to have a precious DD!!!

Tiffany - I totally missed you post about this.....must of been the few days I was doing a crapton of school work at home.  Thank you sooo much for your advice.  I think I may go with frequent bd.  Thinking about it today, even the baby the we lost (which was a boy) was conceived with a one time shot on O.

So if everything goes accroding to plan, I should O around July 17th.  So I'm thinking of trying 15, 16, 18, 19, 20.  I'm going to go back and forth between going to the splash water park and the beach with the boys from the 16h to the 20th.  I'll also go on a long walk after dinner or sit outise by our pool with the mini waterfall running and listen to some music.  I hope that will be enough neg ions, plus the neg ion usb that can today, lavendar diffusers, salt lamp and mini desk waterfall in our bedroom.

I'm going to strat the diet harcore in June.  Already preparing for a cheat on the 9th (it's my son's VPK graduation as well as the boys' 5th/2nd birthday party.  Then I need to think of how I can alter the girl diet when we go on vacation from the 14th to the 24th.  Once we get home, it's on!!!  No diet cheating, amping up the supplements, using liquid cranberry instead of the tablets and drinking CL/cranberry juis until I'm floating, lol 

If you have any other advice, I'm am more than open to it 

tiffany12345:

HI,

 I don't know if you read my earlier post but I thought I would give you my DTD "plan"  Not sayig you should use it, but it may give you something to think about.  I O on day 14 or 15 every month.  What  I plan to do is DTD day 9, 10, 11, 12 13 and then ONE timem at O + 12.  I plan to use a weak lime douche or replens to keep my PH low, (I am just waitng for my Replens to come in so I can test it.)   The only time I will not BD is on O day and no BDing until the 3rd day after I do my O+12.   **I will also continue to be on the Birth Control Pill until my attemp***(I did this also when I had my daughter)

Hope that makes sense.  :) 

Aidan&RyansMommy:

Tiffany12345 - Thanks a bunch!!!  I figured that with the supplements/diet/moon stuff and then doing the complete opposite of what we did last time when it comes to bedding, it would help me get my little girl  =)  I'm sooooo very happy that it worked for you....gives me so much hope!!!! 

tiffany12345:

Frequent BD is how I got my girl.  Everyday from the end of AF until my BFP :) 

Aidan&RyansMommy:

Good Morning Ladies!!!! Sorry that I haven't been on too much. It's almost the end of the school year and I've been super busy with testing, progress reports and before/after school conferences.....only 25 school days left!!! Anywhoo, I had a question about bding and your other pregnancies. With both of my boys they were one time shots on ovulation. I was wondering if anyone is going to try to do the opposite of what they did to get there boys???  I'm thinking about doing frequent bedding from cd 8/9(usually O on 12) to 14.  It's totally opposite of what we did before and plus the diet/supplements/moon phase/ions I'm wondering if it would help me get my little girl.  What do you all think???  Should i try to just do completely opposite of how I got my boys???  So many things to think about before July  =/

 Booey13 - I also wish I was more in tune with my body the other times. I simply went off the pill, looked up when I 'should' be ovulating, bd on that day and was pregnant that same cycle. I only recently began tempting and I'm trying to get my body to regualte itself (in January I had 20 day cycles with an LPof only 9.....now i have a 25 day cycle with a 13 day LP, woohoo)

I think that doing all of the diet changes/altering pH/knowing about the moon signs/adding neg ions into play will help out. So I think I'm leaning towards frequent bedding and using maybe a vinegar douche/rephresh before the attempts to help make sure the ph stay low. I'm so very excited but nervous at the same time. The though of having a little girl makes me grin from ear to ear, but I'm afraid that I won't 'do enough' to be able to finally get her

Ponytails.....congrats on making to the 2ww! Sorry to hear you are sick!!! I'll be praying for you and praying for pink!!!! I also read somewhere to watch or stop the cranberry after o because it can cause miscarriage. I miscarried earlier this year and was taking lots of cranberry not knowing the risks and have always wondered since. Just thought I'd mention it. Good luck to you...sounds like a great sway!!!

Hi ladies! Welcome to the new ones! We're happy to have you with us! Booey, I honestly don't think I could really tell you much, except that it kind of helps if you find one little sperm & try to follow it, vs. looking at them all in general. KWIM? I will say that if its your first time checking it out, its kind of exciting & crazy! To see all of these little things swimming around & knowing that one of them is going to meet your egg...its all so deep! Of course, I do tend to over-analyze everything. LOL! Hope that helps! :)

I am making this into a big deal I think, huh??

Hi Booey13 - I know it's really hard to tell  from some of the responses as an amount used can be subjective so i'm really not sure and for the 2nd response she didn't say how far to the cervix ..

Just incase it is helpful I have included all the responses from the spreadsheet where ladies answered the question of Replens&When that resulted in a girl. You can see below that the responses vary and I think it might be something you will need to just test to see how your body chemistry reacts to either the rephresh/replens/aci-jel. Personally I'm thinking that if I use replens or aci-jel that I will only put at the VJ entrance but rephresh before BD I would use up closer to the cervix and then after BD i would only use at the VJ entrance. 

• Rephresh every other day
• before 2 day cut off
• yes / day before
• yes, mixed with pre-seed the day before O
• yes, day before BD
• Yes/ only on CD9
• yes, in the morning before attempts in the evening. About 3rd of applicator
• Yes, fingertip amount every other day, from AF to confirmed O
• replens finger every other day
• used rephresh every 3 days and everyday through O.
• yes - throughout fertile period to try to cut down EWCM
• yes, every 2-3 days
• Aci-Jel, fingertip and a half 3 hrs before BD. Knuckle full about once a week.
• Yes (occassionally, including night before O)
• Yes, every 3 days leading up to O
• before and after attempts
• About 5 minutes after BD I added a big glob of replens and went to bed.  I added another big glob of replens the next day too because my ph went up into the upper 5's.
• aci-jel 2-3hr before/5min after every attempt
• I used refresh 30 mins before
• 4 and 2 days before attempt
• every three days or before to replace douche for some test attempts
• Every three days from end of AF until O
• yes - every other day from cd13 - cd17
• replens 15 minutes before
• no but used aci-gel leading up to attempt (but stopped 24 hrs before 1st attempt)
• yes after first attempt and every day till O
• Yes, only days leading up to baby dance
• No - but used Aci-jel every day (a tiny amount) 3 hours before BD. I feel this was the most important factor for me.
• Tiny amount twice a day in week of O, plus 1 hour before and 5 mins after BD
• 1 finger replens every other day and finger tip 1 hr before bd after lime douche
•  Replens Every other day
• during O week to keep ph low.  also used it right before last attempt and after my attempts.
• Yes Daily after AF finished
• Yes a small amount at the enterance of my V 1 hour before
• yes about 5 minutes before TTC

 sorry to backtrack but what is the moon calender site again?? i went on lunarium.co.uk but couldn't figure out what to do where to go etc once on there?

Hi every1, im sort of newish here. i was hoping to ttc for a girl june/july, but unfortunatly my doctors told me to come off my pill as its not agreeing with me (bleed thru from day10 and have tried all other pils :-( )but one of the other ladies on here sugestted a spermicide until iv been been on the diet long enough! Problem is i have pcos so without the pill i have no/or few periods, when trying to concieve last Ds i only had 2 periods in 14months! Iv asked the doctor if i can go on metformin/clomid to regulate my cycle but she wants me to wait and see if it happens naturally! im jst worried that im gonna be unable to do the different timings, as im going to get DH to abstain but not sure how thats gonna work when i have no ideas of my cycle! im jst so scared of messing this chance up as i know its my last chance but feeel like iv got alot going against me :-(

This is an awesome site that you set to your time zone. The red times on the bottom of each day show with the moon enters the new sign. http://jon-stevens.com/moon-calendar/index.php It is reliable and easy to use.

AFM: Have full ferning today and ewcm!!! SO...O should be tomorrow and I haven't missed it. Thankful for angels because I timed my 3 day cutoff right!!! BD pm on Monday!!!!! Will do O+8 just in case the cm was too harsh for keeping them alive...Diet seems to be working well, so not sure if I will use anything except small amount of lime after BD...keeping it safe. YEA!!!!

 

 

First off, sorry for posting twice! Second, thanks for the welcomes! I did read some of the FAQ stuff last night. I am not sure if i'll be able to adhere to the diet! It is soooo not what I eat on a regular basis. I still have months however, to get prepared for this! I found this site: http://www.rense.com/1.mpicons/acidalka.htm which give a detailed list of all foods that are acidic vs alkaline. I know that the diet on in gender is tried and tested, but I also feel we all need to fine tune our sway so that we can stick to it easier. Anyway, I thought this might be helpful. I also found this site: http://www.moonconnection.com/moon-january-2012.phtml that is a quick reference for the moon phases I also might consider doing the TBM method just once this August. If it doesn't result in pregnancy then we will likely wait until next summer. I want my baby girl very badly, but am willing to wait until next year so that my ds#2 has more time with me and more time to be the "baby" before #3 is born.
