Sway Attemps and Outcomes! New post 7-13-12..come check this out please.
I think this post will really help a lot of women with their sway attempts. This is going to be a sticky post for moms who have their BFP or have already had their baby, to post what they did for their sway attempts. If gender is not yet known, but you are pregnant, just leave the gender portion as unknown or to be determined and update when you find out. If you have already had the baby, please include the gender. Here are the fields to fill out. Please quote or copy and paste this format and fill out as many sections as you can. This will give moms ideas for what things to try and what things seem to work or not work. Thanks!

Gender result:
my mini me perfect baby girl. She is nw 6 months
Quoting Allebas:By you doing the deed up to 2 days prior to ovulation, and you did NOT have the BIG O, you actually increased your chances that you would have a girl!! My DH and I had sex two days prior to ovulation and we did missionary position. I did NOT have the BIG O and we got our baby GIRL!! The closer to ovulation that you have sex, the better the chance of having a boy! The BIG O in the woman, actually helps propel the sperm faster giving the male sperm an advantage! SOOOO---without the BIG O, the sperm have a longer, harder 'road to travel' so-to-speak! So glad you got your girl!
We dtd the day before and the day of O and i had the Big O and i still end up having a girl

Any other info: i was really trying to lessen my chances of pregnancy by 1 BD, getting up as soon as i was done BD (with my boys i laid in bed most times and fall asleep) J&D&RePhresh after BD. I am shocked i even got pregnant due to using RePhresh after BD . I've heard so many women say they had to drop RePhresh cause they couldn't get pregnant plus i heard it's not really recommended to use after BD cause it may kill the swimmers but not in my case lol.
