Does chlomid sway more then the diet and exercise ? Maybe I should just get that and do the timing thing? How important is the diet?

Our entire methodology is based upon maternal condition at conception. Diet, weight loss, etc. Diet is pretty important.

I guess that makes sense, but I'm already so skinny ( my mum think I look anarexic) surely its not healthy to loose more weight? How much should I loose? If I only loose few kg is that ok?

You really need to read over the approach we recommend or sign up for a plan. Get a strategy together. This is a big decision and if it's a gender you are after and not just a baby and you can admit that to yourself, get a plan together. Don't wing it.

Diet is the most important sway factor. You do NOT need to lose weight to sway pink effectively, and in fact you shouldn't if you're already very thin. I am the same height but 5-10kg lighter and I didn't lose much weight doing the LE diet (only 2kg over 2 months), though I didn't do exercise. So I'd say maybe you should be super sedentary like me and just focus on diet + clomid +one BDattempt. Just clomid is not enough; plenty of women have boys on clomid.
While weight loss does sway pink, changing what and how ypu eat sways even more. And you can do the LE diet without losing any weight, just by eating enough calories while keeping fat and protein low, and not snacking.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

We don't know. Our results with Clomid are Clomid PLUS diet and often many other sway tactics as well. You cannot expect 75% success with Clomid alone. In studies Clomid when used for fertility, it was found to only sway at most 3-5%.
Timing does not work at all and MUST NOT be done when on Clomid becuase your odds of conception would be too low. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html

THe diet sways without weight loss. Anyone who is already quite thin (under BMI 21) should just hold steady where they are at and usually a teensy amount of weight sneaks off over time
It’s been awhile but I keep meaning to come back and say we swayed girl in 2022 and had a little girl in early 2023! First girl born in 110+ years on my husband’s side.[emoji179]
