    Big Smile Two1984 - girl sway

    Hi,
    I don't think this was a particularly good sway at all because we stopped all diet and supps 3 weeks before we conceived. Either way it has apparently worked as I am 23 weeks pregnant with a little girl. Still can't believe it!

    Gender Result:
    Girl
    DW Age:
    28
    DH Age:
    40
    Current Children's Gender(s)
    Boy 5, boy 2
    Number of Months TTC
    2
    Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?
    no
    DIET
    Did you follow a diet plan?
    Yes and no
    If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?
    LE(Low Everything) but stopped diet 3 weeks before conceived as we went on holiday!


    Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
    Followed LE diet almost straight after a late miscarriage in february.
    Did the diet til mid april when we went on holiday. I lost 7 kg in that time (went from 65kg to 58kg) During the holiday the diet flew out the window and for 3 weeks I ate whatever i felt like and put on 2 kg! WE conceived shortly after we got back home. So not sure if diet was a factor to be honest.
    Drank a lot of peppermint tea!!!

    If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
    approx 6weeks but stopped 3 weeks before attempt

    Did you skip breakfast regularly?
    Yes

    Did DH change his diet with you?
    A little, he hardly ate red meat, i cooked more vegetarian stuff for him. He still ate daily banana though!
    Comments regarding DH's diet-
    He didn't change much, but actually lost a few kgs too.
    DId you consume alcohol?
    A couple of drinks per week. During our holiday, I had a glass of wine most nights.


    DId you try to limit caffeine?
    No

    Things that make me feel great about my sway:

    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    Not sure what role the diet and supps actually played because we completely stopped everything 3 weeks before conceiving.

    Things worth mentioning:
    We travelled long haul to australia from UK, baby was conceived whilst we were still very jet lagged.. not sure if this made a difference. Also, I got pregnant my second cycle after a miscarriage so not sure if that played a role also.

    bgtorres - I am still stunned as I was convinced we were having a third boy. I guess its possible the effects of the diet and the supps were still there even after stopping? Not sure. I did read that conceiving quite soon after a miscarriage sways also, so maybe that helped too.
