I swayed for a girl and I am having a girl!!!! What I believe were key elements of my sway and my pg symptoms....

Thanks IG for my baby girl!! The exact details of my sway are in the spreadsheet. My DH's family has not had a girl in over 100 years so I think my swaying was responsible. 
So what I think were the key elements of my sway:
- I conceived in the moon cancer- the strongest moon for a girl- every single calendar and predictor came back with girl- I believe this is all intertwined and was very responsible for my girl.  It just happened this way- I did not plan this. 
- Clomid 25mg cd5-9
- Being sick when I conceived and taking lots of tylenol to keep fever down
-DH abstaining for about 3 weeks
-Timing 2x bd once after 3w abstain and second an O+12
-A very strong Calcium supp (AdvaCal) that I took religously
-Swaying for so long and really changing my body makeup even though never fully committing to diet

My symptoms while pg that made me think girl:
-more m/s than with ds- constant queezy feeling all day long
-many face breakouts (clear skin with ds)
-hair falling out and dull (great hair with ds)
-mild but frequent headaches
-constantly getting colds
-very tired

I hope you all get your desired gender!! I feel very fortunate to have found this site - just baby continues to grow and be healthy!!

Aaw congrats Laurie didn't think you were finding out till the 30th. Massive congrats to you. You soooo deserve your wee girl.

Thanks! I had bleeding (turns out I have placenta previa) and went to the hospital yesterday.  No doubt from the u/s that it is a girl!  

 

 

And aci-jel!! Didn't you use that as well? I am convinced it is the key to getting a girl. Almost everyone who has used it has been successful!

I did but don't think it was "it".  I used it every other day beginning after AF BUT I stopped 24 hrs before my first attempt (which wound up being 24 hrs before O).  I actually realized something more recently and that was I had a vg u/s the morning of my attempt and they used the u/s jelly in me.  I took the ph of that recently and it was over a 6 and I became panicked that it may have raised my ph...  Guess it was either not an issue or maybe it somehow helped... never will know.  But IMO the aci-jel was not incorporated enough into my attempt (using it right before or after) so I don't believe it had as much of an affect...kwim??

Oh - well then ignore all of my previous aci-jel comments!! ;-) Whatever it was, I'm so happy for you. And I'm glad the moon was in such a good position since that was my moon too! :-)

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR LITTLE GIRL!

Thanks for sharing what you believe to be the strongest aspects of your sway. It really interesting to read what other people found made a difference to their bodies. I know personally the strict diet and supps made a huge difference to how I felt overall.

You have always been so quick to help me with some of the questions I had during my swaying attempts, and I am so thrilled for you that you little DD is on her way!!

Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

 

A big congrats to you and your family. Thankyou so much for sharing what you thought was important to your sway - it really helps us!

Congrats on your baby girl!

My sway was very similar to yours accept it did not work for me!!

What i did not take was the Clomid, so i wonder if this is the magic ingredient????????? x

I'm so happy for you Laurie little girls are so special congrats

Is your Son excited ?

Arabeth, congratulations! I have been following you story here on IG, and am very happy you got your girl!

Was it- just b/c we are due the same day does not mean that we O'd the same day- for me it was 6/23.  I think you have a good chance of a girl though b/c your nub looked more girly than mine did so I would be shocked if it weren't a girl.

Thanks to everyone for all your very kind posts!!
