Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
No breakfast, replaced healthy snacks with empty sugary candy, no red meat (I had chicken instead), alcohol on the evenings when BD, added coffee because I didn't take coffee with my boys... I drank lots of diet coke and in the first two weeks peppermint tea.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I had no breakfast, which I found very hard to do.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Just the feeling that I didn't do enough, because I was started being fed up that it took so long, and I just wanted to be pregnant again. So I left out things like Calcium, Magnesium and Saw Palmetto.
Things worth mentioning:
I really found it very hard to skip breakfast and eat so 'little' food. I couldn't always stick to the 2/3 meals per day, but tried to make the snacks either only sugary or low glycemic index food to keep bloodsugarlevels low.
I put on my Moonstone-necklace again, which I wore when falling pregnant with my boys.
Because I was becoming fed up with TTC, I actually relaxed by thinking: I really don't mind having another boy. If it's meant to be a girl it will be a girl and otherwise I was just meant to have another boy.
I still hope it worked. My mw is leaning girl when I had my 12w u/s. So fingers crossed :)
Thank you for reading ;-)
