A little background for some of you.. DH & I were possibly thinking of ttc a girl this year, I was looking into certain things to do a mild sway but this LO decided to scrap those plans and surprise us lol BUT when they thought at the 12 week scan that this LO was possibly PINK I looked into what may have swayed that particular cycle and this is what I came up with. Probably doesnt help you all much I know but figured it also couldnt hurt either right x
Ok so the biggest thing that stood out to me was that I had been taking sudafed a bit as I was suffering badly with the flu so both being sick and sudafed could well have helped. DH & I didnt BD much that month - twice in fact! The first time was probably 8 or 9dpo and I did have the big "O"(and Im pretty certain DH had abstained that whole time, possibly longer but I cant be sure lol) the second time we BD was probably around 17dpo so again a large gap beetween BD and that time I didnt have the big "O" - so both timings could have helped with girl - second time I guess may have been O+12?? A side note to add, I didnt eat as much red meat as I may have when I fell with the boys and I was also taking a supplement called DIM and also a Liver cleanser for about 6 months prior which I hadnt been taking with the boys - Im not sure if DIM sways either way but thought Id include it as it was different. I had been exercising hard (boxing classes) for about 2 years prior around 3/4 times a week - the month I got the bfp though I had hurt my wrist so didnt go but I did do a few spin classes instead.
That is probably all I can think of, I hope maybe some of that can assist some of you at some point with your sways, I wish you all the very best of luck xx
