I am esp interested to hear from those of you that had many of one gender in a row, and then had the opposite gender!

Question for those of you with both genders

Did you sway for your DG?

Feel free to explain more by posting comments, thanks! [:)]

I'm in no way "disappointed" that I have sons, I just want the chance to raise a daughter as well. Happy Wink

Want to try for a Baby Bear Girl early next year! Pray

I actually wanted another boy since I had 3 boys already and was nervous of having a girl. We had sex each day through valuation including the day after. No special diet and mostly missionary position (if memory serves) HTH!

I have a son and daughter. I didnt know about swaying with my son. I just wanted a baby. With my daughter I was a member here and was planning a sway for 6 months out when I had a surprise baby. I figured it was a boy but I did have a girl.

WOW!!! Almost 89% of you so far did not sway for your DG? Ok I think that is helping me make my decision on whether to sway or not if we ttc naturally lol!

 I didnt know anything about swaying with my DD, i read online about the shettles method and followed that for number 2. I was desperate for a DS and got one. Did my sway work or was i lucky? Who knows! Xx

My little girl isn't here YET, but I have had 3 scans and all are clearly girl. We didn't do anything different this time around, I didn't know anything about extreme gender swaying...etc or that it even existed. We DTD twice during my fertile time period ( I wasn't really tracking actual ovulation) and got a girl. :-)

I only have 2 boys but yes, I did sway with my daughter. I researched a lot, mainly on here and there was a very helpful lady on FF too who offered a lot of good advice.It was very confusing so in the end I picked what made sense and was practical for me.

I naturally have a boy rich diet, I cut out as much sodium as possible and looked for alternative foods which seemed more suitable (mozarella cheese instead of normal cheese, wraps and pitta bread rather than normal bread) but I've seen MUCH better sway diets than mine on here. I also did the vitamins, replens, made DH wear tight pants and had him masturbate frequently (lol, he's laid beside me now reading, if he looks over now and sees what I'm typing he'd so freak!). I also took sudafed a couple of hours before sex and BD as much as possible. I don't buy into the whole shettles thing, seems very hit and miss to me and my O date changes slightly each month. I read that freqent sex lowers sperm count and at the end of the day it's the mix of his sperm which will make the ultimate difference. Which is the same reason I had him drink lots and lots of alchol, I'd also read alcohol lowers sperm count and alcholics are more likely to have girls, true or not it was no sacrifice for DH and I thought 'why not?'. So, not a conventional sway, and whether we would have still had DD or not I don't know. But I tried it and if I hadn't and had another boy I would have always thought 'what if....'

Hahahahahahahahaha! Happy ROFL I just had this image of your dh looking over and seeing you write that about him! I know if mine saw me write something like that he would be like WTF! lol

So masturbation and lots of alcohol...I think my dh would be MORE than up for that!!!! Happy ROFL

I didn't sway so i voted NO ( as this was a "oppsie baby") but the majority of the things that I was doing were girly sway things.

My diet was really acidic and i drank a lot of milk, my DH wears tighter underwear, he pulled out as he ejaculated making it shallow (shouldn't have even been in me at ALL, but im happy now), it happened prior to ovulation, I had birth control in my system (which i have heard sways girl) as i had actually missed a few pills which mixed with improper pull out = baby, and im sure there were other things but i honestly cant think of them right now lol

We were actively trying to avoid pregnancy, so no swaying at all. Although almost everything we did was supposedly "perfect" for the opposite gender.

I have one for each.

For my first (DD) we used the shettles method, so in terms of timing from that theory she was the right gender Happy Wink I didnt change my diet in any way.

We also tried to use the shettles method for another girl, but fell pregnant with our son. Looking back Im pretty sure I got my cycle a little mixed up and we DTD in boy territory.

I dont buy into that whole acidic/alkaline theory as im very very acidic and still concieved a boy.

nothing is 100% hun. even if you go ht who says it will work? who says you won't miscarry with any pregnancy. if you want 100% i think adoption is the only way..
