Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

I followed the FGD strictly, and also became vegetarian, but gave that up a couple of days before ovulation. After I gave that up I stayed within the meat limits of the FGD. For the first few months I tried to follow some LE principles too by choosing low fat foods, but stopped that a couple of days before ovulation too. I skipped breakfast and only ate 2 main meals and a mini meal before bed.

I cheated once, on New Years Eve, by swapping my veg, fruit, meat and coffee allowance for 3 glasses of wine.
I accidentally ate a pork chop that was seasoned on Ovulation day. I didn't realise, I was very annoyed about it afterwards.

3 and a half months before ovulation

I took 15 drops of vitex tincture twice a day from AF to O, dropped it down to 10 drops a few days before O.
I took 800mg of calcium and 300mg of magnesium.
I took 400mcg of folic acid until Ovulation, and then upped it to 800 mcg. DH took Olive leaf extract.

Did you do anything with Ions?

No

Moon Phase during conception?

First Quarter

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

I slept on my right hand side.
I have a baby girl dress in my wardrobe.
I conceived in a Chinese gender chart girl month.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

To be honest, not much. It was a very lazy sway.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

The fact that I loosened up my diet a few days before I ovulated. I was just so fed up, I thought I was going to ovulate late this month, so I started eating a small amount of meat and drinking full cream milk.
The accidental eating of the seasoned pork chop upsets me.
I'm also nervous because I used vitex. I know plenty of people have conceived girls on it, but I have conceived two boys on it before and originally didn't want to include it in my sway.
I didn't include timing or frequency, or use rephresh.

Things worth mentioning:

The things I did differently from when I conceived my boys were:
Not using preseed
No big O
Less attempts around O
Didn't bd doggie style
No prenatals
No fertility boosting supplements (except for the vitex)

So even though I didn't do much to sway I'm hoping the things I didn't do this time will make a difference.
