Thanks atomic ! I've been trying to nitpick about everything to up the control stuff ! Plus playing video games to feel competitive !

So, a little update :

- Been having violent mood swings for 72 hours straight now (unusual).
- Doubling in size with water retention (usual before AF).

No idea where I'm at honestly.

Fun fact - a LOT of us with all boys have wicked mood swings before/after ovulation and with AF. I get my worst of what you could call PMS right after I ovulate. You might want to take a note of that and see if theres any pattern moving forward.

Now that's a fun fact (same as AF starting morning or night) ! I only have mood swings a little before/after AF, never around O... and never that intense. These were awfull, I would feel all the anger in the world suddenly then do a 180° and feel like life has no meaning anymore. Even DH was surprised.

Another thing that changed upon starting the diet is that now I have O pains. I didn't feel a thing before.

These are the things I would investigate if only I had the resources!! I had my absolute WORST mood swings and O pains around when I got my 3rd son and I was on the most blue friendly diet with him ever (and he is a super super rough and tumble boy!)

It's weird because I still feel like I didn't do enough with the diet (but oh well, it's supposed to be a normal feeling while in 2WW or so the other girls say).

Know another fun fact ? When I was 12, one reknowned french archaeologist and author I had the chance to meet said that in Ancient Egypt, women TTC would pee on wheat and barley seeds after the 2WW. If the seeds germinated, it meant they were preg (which is apparently true, a pregnant woman's urine is close to whatever hormonal mix it is that makes plants grow). But there is more : if wheat germinated first, it meant the baby was a girl. If barley, then a boy. We don't know how accurate this was. I always wondered if I should try but I am no green thumb and I thought I would manage to kill the seeds instead of growing them >< !

Interesting! I suspect it's like the Drano tests - doesn't actually work for gender, but still interesting to read.

I love reading things like this since so many people act like we are crazy for having gender preference. But people all throughout history have been interested in baby's gender and even monkeys and apes will check the baby's gender as soon as it's born. We have these feelings from some innate human urge!
