So, I was thinking about adding a juice fast into my sway. I actually did a short (one week) juice fast just before I conceived my BOY - but atomic had mentioned that there are a few people here that did a juice fast and got girls.

I'm wondering what everyone did differently than what I did, that enabled them to get a girl instead of a boy. Things like: were you doing really well on the L.E. diet (I am NOT doing well on it at all), were you exercising before and/or during the fast? Did you do it a few months, weeks, or days before OVU? How many did you do? How long was the fast?

I am kind of in love with fasting. I did a 30 day water fast when I was 19 and I lost 30 pounds. I did a one week juice fast in my late twenties and it reset my whole diet and I was healthy for years after. And I did a 3 day juice fast a few months ago because I actually love the way I feel on the fast and how it makes me more sensitive to sugar and junk food so it's easier to avoid when I'm done. I want to do this to get me used to eating less and make me feel a bit more comfortable with being hungry so I can do better on the L.E. diet!

Would love some input or thoughts!

I just want to say again for other people reading this that I am not a fan of juice fasting for swayers and you guys are doing this at your own risk with no endorsement from Gender Dreaming at all. I think it has a huge potential to delay or stop ovulation and also is IMVVVHO not safe when TTC.

And under no circumstances should anyone ever fast on just water or Crystal Light (which is a scheme several have come up with over the years and I've had to nix it every time) not even for one day.

I'll bow out now and you guys can share your experiences.

Oh, I definitely wouldn't do a water fast right now. And I know for a fact that for me, juice fasting did NOT delay my ovulation as I got pregnant with my son right after a week long juice fast.

My cycles are personally not easily affected by fasting. Even when I was in the thick of my eating disorders and at my lowest weight, I still had regular, normal periods. My mom was the same. She also had eating disorders and ate very poorly and was at a low weight when she got pregnant with my brother and me!

I just kind of wanted to get details from those who used this as part of their sway 😊

I understand that but I have to think of the people who come onto the site and read posts and don't post that often. you would not believe the number of people who plan a Crystal Light fast for a pink sway. (don't)

Agreed. Fasting on crystal light is NOT a good idea!
