Hey all,
I've been reading this forum for several months now but just recently purchased a personalized plan (haven't received it yet). I can't believe how much I've learned! Definitely gets confusing but completely fascinating to see people's results. About me: My husband has 2 kids from a previous marriage (a boy and a girl) and we have 2 boys together. He's 44 and I'm 35. I always just assumed I would have girls, and would even venture to say all my childhood "dreams" of being a mom revolved around being the mom of girls. All my friends seemed honestly shocked when I announced the news about both boys because they "just couldn't imagine me with boys!" Well it's all worked out because I absolutely adore my boys (and I think I'm a pretty darn good boy mom!) and my stepkids but... I still have that longing for a biological daughter. I always wanted 4 biological children, so DH and I have decided to stop at 3 of our own as it seems to be a happy medium. We're both excited to add a healthy baby to the family regardless of the gender, but we want to give ourselves the best possible chance for a girl since this is our last one.
I guess with my boys I probably had a "boy" lifestyle because I love salty food and was far from vegetarian even then. I was also a HUGE snacker! Lots of tiny "meals" throughout the day. After I had the boys, I went to a really low-carb lifestyle and have been eating even more meat and high protein for the last 3 years. A week or two ago I switched and started following the LE diet which is obviously a huge change for my body so I'm hoping this will help. I tend to have a higher ph, (around 6 or so), lots of CM and probably high testosterone as I eat a lot of protein and favor light weights over cardio any day! I'm also high stress and very type-A. (I know these aren't all primary factors for swaying according to atomic or this site... just giving some background.) I'm really looking forward to the support from this community and keeping up with everyone's swaying journeys! If you pray, please say a quick prayer for us that God will give us a healthy baby girl this time as I'm a huge believer in the power of prayer! Prayers for you all too!
