COMMENTS? -my biorythms (right for my boys) lined up nicely in “girl” territory, my husband’s were neutral, officially Summer, Sexwizard (right for my boys) says Girl, Chinese Gender charts are in agreement with Sexwizard, So I guess it could be worse… though the full moon really (potentially) messes things up :( All in all, it was a decent sway. We didn't think I'd actually ovulated, so we didn't do EGS like we'd planned. We also didn't continue the diet til BFP like we'd originally planned because--well, we thought I didn't ovulate, and we were going to go straight to IVF/PGD, so it was about 2-3 weeks after I ovulated when we stopped the diet and supplements (did stop cranberry on the 3rd and slowly weaned off the B6 over the past 2 weeks but continued with the rest of the supplements til BFPs then stopped all but baby aspirin and folic acid. If we get a boy, I know that we did all we could and we just weren't meant to have a girl :) (to be honest, though, I'm already 99% sure we did conceive another boy, despite everything! I will of course update when we know, but if we're going on gut feeling, I'm going to have to say we got boy #6 rather than girl #1!!!)
EDIT: Looking back on my sway, I'd say I felt most strongly about the supps rather than anything else. Though in all honesty, I think I was just "lucky". 9th pregnncy--one of them had to be girl, right?
EDIT #2: I increased my cranberry & calcium by 2 pills each, 1x per day the weeks of my attempts
