We were going to TTC for a girl starting from July, today DH proposed to anticipate to June while we´re on holiday :happy:
Now this is very tempting ofcourse since I am dying here on the girl diet:mad:
By then I will have been on the Low Everything diet for 8 weeks and I´ve lost weight so I´m good.

We´ll be camping on the seaside and I didn´t bother before about swimming in salt water, now i looked into it a little and am getting worried a bit...
For the swimming I think I can drink a lot of water and maybe use a very fat body cream and shower when I come out of the water. From what I´ve read my skin wouldn´t absorb sodium anyway, it would just give off water from my body to the seawater because the concentration of sodium is higher in the sea than it is in my body (that´s why i would drink a lot of water)
But what about the air? I would be breathing sea air for 2 weeks, I would absorb a certain amount of sodium that way I guess, would that ruin all the effort I made? Then I´ll wait untill July!
So I wanted to ask if any of you girls conceived your babies while on a seaholiday or does anybody live on the seaside and what gender did you get?

Mmm, never heard of people living on the seaside only have boys :think:

Nicole Kidman swam in the ocean before she conceived Sunday Rose!!!

My stepmother lived at the beach and also conceived a girl.

If there was anything at all to this idea (that breathing in sea air makes you conceive a girl) beachside communities would have statistically different rates of boys and girls conceived. You would see more girls than boys conceived in Seattle, San Francisco, etc. But it's about 50-50 no matter where you go!!
