Mum of four monkeys

Hi guys,
I would just like you two cents on my potential sway
I recently had two mc so decided to have one more baby and started swaying for a girl. I was doing le diet mostly. the first month I tried this I was very harsh and ended up getting a bfn (probably due to lack of everything and would say that was more like the lg/French diet). The second month, I eased up a bit on the supps and strictness of what I should and shouldn't eat ( still cutting out the big no's red meat, salt etc) and admittedly, not always remembering to take my supps and I got my bfp. This is what I did in a nut shell for the past 8 weeks:
Started off taking calcium citrate (slowly eased off as i feared this would sway boy)
Cranberry tabs and juice (before ov)
Not added any salt to cooking and had a low sodium diet
Skipped breakfast until 12 noon sometimes even 1pm
No red meat but did have chicken and prawns throughout, turning mostly veggie towards the last two weeks.
Vagina ph was 5.5 (could not get lower then that)
Bought a rose quartz bracelet
Folic acid after ov
Dh was doing cranberry supps when he could remember and trying to cut out the energy drinks ��
+ liquorice root the first month.
Abstaining for around 4 days on average.
Anyway to cut a long story short I got my bfp this month and I'm
Wondering if my sway has any substance to it or not.
On the run up to ov I had zero cm then an abundance two days before I detected my surge. We ended up dtd (missionary tmi ) 48-60 hrs before I ovulated. (This makes me think this is still boy territory ) but I've never got a bfp from dtd 3 days plus as I'm not sure dh sperm can last that long.
We did dtd on the day of ov but I was protected (diaphragm as I knew that was too close) I think it happened with first attempt as I had bad ovulation pains on the day of second attempt and I've been successfully tracking ov due to this since ectopic.
I douched before and after all attempts but it wasnt a full hour sometimes as little as 15 mins. Does anyone know how important this is?
Also what do you guys think. am I in with a good chance with finally swaying pink?
Or have I not done the diet for long enough to change my very alkaline environment this time around?
Also, if it did happen on second attempt that may put me at 12+
Sometimes I catch myself thinking maybe the reason I have four boys is because 1) my environment must be very alkaline and 2) ive always timed dtd close to ovulation unknowingly prom example being the twins. They were a few days apart and they were still both boys!!! Then I wonder if dh only has male sperm �
I'm still very early but have definitely developed a sweet tooth and lack of appetite.
Would be good to hear what some of you think
Thanks for reading this very long post.
