I just didn’t have my normal two-3 glasses of milk daily.If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
I ate breakfast every day (new for me) usually cheesy scrambled eggs with whole wheat toast or Kellogg’s banana Raisin Bran cereal. I ate Lara bars, peanut butter toast, or cheese as a snack. V8 daily. Black tea daily. Orange juice daily. And I added grapefruit juice my successful attempt month. We have been doing blue apron meals for months prior to attempt and they usually have at least two veggies in the dinners. I had steak or burgers on nights we didn’t have blue apron meals.I started reading about swaying and started drinking v8 in August then found genderdreaming in early September and hit the diet hard late that month or early October, and My successful attempt was Dec 31. So 3 months.Did you skip breakfast regularly?NoDid DH change his diet with you?YesComments regarding DH's diet-We are just about the same things except he drank smoothies for lunch at work and I felt I needed more substantial food at home.DId you consume alcohol?- A couple of drinks per week

When I conceived DD1 I weighed 114 lbs, and for DD2 I weighed 112 lbs. I was down to 116 after having DD2, so I gained 4 lbs just before conceiving.We were both doing P90x3. I was doing it 3 times per week until the TWW in the first attempt month when I slacked off. I know, so stupid!

I used preseed for every attempt in the fertile window to help with ph.No nothing special. We always have our phones close by.Moon Phase during conception?Waning CrescentDid you use any Old Wives Tales?NoThings that make me feel great about my sway:I tried to flow atomic advice to a T. I had three attempts in the fertile window. I changed my diet considerably (I rarely ate veggies or drank juices prior), and I gained some weight. I ate breakfast religiously and usually had a bedtime snack unless dinner was big and late.Things that make me nervous about my sway:My DH wasn’t super enthusiastic about the attempts because he felt pressured by the timing of everything.Things worth mentioning:
I was scared to use preseed because DD2 was conceived using preseed, but I did end up deciding to use it.
I slacked in the tww on exercise and I think I skipped a few days of the V8 and maybe didn’t get the fruits and veggies I needed, but I still ate breakfast every day.Thank you Atomic for all your help. I think we are going team green, so I’ll update in September.Last edited by atomic sagebrush; September 27th, 2019 at 12:38 PM.

Thank y’all so much! I forgot to mention in my sway info that I was (and still am) breastfeeding my 16 month old (at the time). That is another thing that makes me nervous about my sway.
Oh, and I also drank 24oz of lemon water every day too.Last edited by Sillyginger; March 10th, 2019 at 11:45 PM.

Our sway didn’t work for #3 & we had a little oops for #4 but we love them all to bits... not sure if we ever will but somehow hoping we might add blue to the crew, to complete our family, one day...
Fingers crossed for TTC #5 (again) for early 2024!

UPDATE: this morning at 6:47 am our baby BOY made his appearance!!!! God is good! Thank you Atomic!!! So so so many old wives tales and other gender predictors (ramzi, ovulation side, hcg levels for examples) all pointed to another girl. Even during one of my weekly ultrasounds at 34 weeks the ultrasound tech said something about, “her face”. I was so sure this baby was a girl. Thanks to everyone who offered their advice and support! We are over the moon!
