Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
I was on LE from October 2012- October 2013. I gradually worked my way up to upper limits of the diet after months of BFN's. I also loosened up on sodium quite a bit the last few months. I stayed within all the other limits aside from a cheat day about once a week. I always skipped breakfast and rarely snacked.

One year!

Any additional supplement info?
When I first began my sway it was a very strict sway and we both took supplements. As time went on we eventually dropped them all. I was however on Clomid because it was taking so long to conceive. I got my BFP the first month of the Clomid!
Did you do anything with Ions?
No
Moon Phase during conception?
Waxing Gibbous
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
No
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
LE Diet, Clomid, and only one attempt in fertile window!
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I'm not feeling nervous about anything at this time. I feel at peace that I did everything I could to sway the odds toward a girl. After trying to get pregnant for over a year with our girl sway, I feel like it is such a blessing to be having our third child, boy or girl.
Things worth mentioning:
Thanks to everyone at Gender Dreaming for all of the information I gained regarding swaying and for all of the support during my long journey of TTC!
