Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

The biggest change was skipping breakfast! That was huge for me, especially waking up super early for work attempting to function on an empty stomach! I replaced that with drinking more liquids, especially crystal light with caffeine. I also drank 1 Coke Zero a day, sometimes 2. Sometimes I would even eat candy (starbursts, airheads) for lunch before I ever had a real meal! I have been a vegetarian since my teens and have always eaten low fat/low protein. However, I completely cut out all "boy-friendly" foods such as bananas, potatoes, oatmeal & dry cereal for 1 year! I typically LOVE potatoes & always snacked on dry cereal. Speaking of snacking... I've always been a snacker, instead of eating bigger meals. I toned that wayyy back and ate mostly rice & pasta for dinner.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

-Started 8 months before first attempt
-Didn't intend on being on the diet for so long, but was waiting on the return of AF after nursing
-Ended up being on the diet for 1 year until BFP

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

Did DH change his diet with you?

No

Comments regarding DH's diet-

DH didn't change his diet, but I did encourage him to smoke cigarettes temporarily. I heard it may sway pink. Random since I usually hate cigarettes, but it all started over a conversation over dinner & drinks...

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I was happy to end up with 1 attempt and survived skipping breakfast for so long! It took 5 months to conceive, hopefully it'll be worth the wait �� Thinking positive thoughts!

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

Thoughts keep running through my head wondering if I did enough?? I realized after the fact that my folic acid also contained calcium, so I had been taking 100mg a day & didn't even know it! The few friends/family that we've told are all placing bets on another boy, but don't know the lengths I've gone through hoping/swaying for a girl. Now, I feel the pressure.

Things worth mentioning:

I was hesitant to put my sway in writing, but what is done is done so here goes...
I should find out through genetic testing in a few weeks. Please please let this be my sweet baby girl that I've dreamed of for so long!! Health is still my number one concern, but if I do get an opposite, I'll need your support more than ever!!

-On 25mg Zoloft for anxiety which may sway pink
-First chemical recently in March
-Under a good bit of stress at the time due to trying to balance work/family obligations

If a boy swimmer managed to get past all of those pink sway tactics then you're going to have a strong willed boy on your hands because it looks like you threw all you had at that sway. A big congratulations and pink dust all the way.

[IWant4Kids]

Fingers and toes crossed Lola! I hope this is the baby girl you've tried so hard for xoxo
