I'm so nervous because I had a m/c 6 months ago. Hopefully this one sticks.
So, here's what I did that was pink friendly.
- no vitamins except 800mg folic acid (while TTC both boys I took a prenatal)
-Sylk as a lube (used saliva and Preseed for boys)
-LE Diet. I had a hard time with the sodium but I did really good staying at around 1500 cals and staying very close to the limits for protein and fat. (tried to stick to it as much as I could for a few weeks - not 6 weeks though)
-switched from regular Coke to Diet Coke, also ate diet foods such as Yoplait Light with aspartame, etc. to try to keep my body acidic.
-lost weight (I lost about 5 pounds from about 3 weeks before O and through the 2ww - I'm maintaining the new weight now)
-I don't really believe in the whole ION thing, but FWIW I had an Ionic Air Purifier on in my bedroom 24/7
-Took Zyrtec nightly for allergies. i have been on it for 5 years so I think my body is used to it and it doesn't dry me up much but i thought I'd mention it.
I really tried to do some of the things my sister did to get her girls. She wasn't swaying, but I remember both times she was dieting and losing weight and drinking Diet Coke. Could very well have been a coincidence that she got two girls, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try.
What I did that was blue friendly
-Too much sodium
-BD every other day through O because I was having a hard time getting pregnant.
-Big O for me :oops:
I don't really feel like I have a big chance of getting a girl. But, never know. All I can do is hope and pray.
