Cracked.com article - has diet and gender swaying on it!
Hey gals, thought you might be interested in this article I was just reading on Cracked.com:
7 Life Altering Decisions Made For You (Before Your Birth) | Cracked.com
Mom's diet influencing gender is #3 on the list on page 2. I'm kinda freaked out about #5 myself, but it's not really a surprise either. :P
Keep in mind that Cracked.com is a humor/satirical website, but their articles are scientifically well researched and based on true studies. I love that gender swaying is getting into main****** media!Me (38) and DH (38)
SAHM military momma to
DS1 (2004), 
DS2 (who's all boy but loves to dance, though not in a tutu!) (2006), 
DS3 (2009), and our rainbow baby girl DD1 (2017) 
early m/c Jan 2013
Cycle #1 @ HRC (Oct 2014) - 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized and biopsied. 1XX and 1XY abnormal. 1XX no DNA found, rebiopsied and found normal, frozen.
FET attempt #1 (Nov 2014) - cancelled due to functional cyst. FET attempt #2 (Jan 30, 2015) - NT. Remaining embie failed to thaw.
May 2015 - started infertility treatments at OFC. Femara 2.5mg
July 2015 - BFP after second round of Femara. Aug 4 2015 - 6w4d
Dec 21 2015 - mmc 7w1d
Apr 2016 - IVF Cycle #2. Converted to IUI because of uneven response and leading follicles.
Apr 19, 2016 - IUI with 3 mature follicles (2 right, 1 left), post wash: 17mil, 94% motility and 89% rapid motility. BFN.
June 3, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 5w.
Sep 1, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 8w.
Our rainbow baby girl arrived on Mon Aug 28, 2017 - "After every storm comes a rainbow". We are so thankful and grateful for every moment.

Hey Lace, this is great article. I like the tongue-in-cheek way it's written and at least I don't need to worry about liquorice making our next baby stupid as it's not recommended on the LE diet and I've got out of the habit of eating it! I do love Liquorice allsorts and liquorice & peppermint tea though. It seems like the GD way is becoming a bit more dominant in the media as opposed to the more IG traditional sways....
2007 2009 2013 (My VBA2C & sway opposite baby)
So proud to announce that after many long years of GD our precious DAUGHTER
joined us in June 2016!!

It's kinda fascinating reading the comments too. Lot of doubters in the general public about this stuff, that's for sure!
Be warned though, Cracked.com is seriously addicting and a ridiculous time waster. I won't tell you how many hours I've wasted on there since I found it. :PMe (38) and DH (38)

I'm testing on Sunday, so I've promised myself a 'cheat' meal for the first time in 6 weeks in the evening, whatever the result (which I think will be negative, despite me willing for symptoms!).
I'm so having just one portion of fish and chips sunday evening. It'll keep me going for another 6 weeks!

That's funny licorice was one of the only foods I craved in pregnancy. I didn't go overboard but I ate a bit. My boys are both very bright though (I know every parent says that). But my 4yo could tell you about hydrolyics in diggers before he was 3 and my 22month old knows all his colours and shapes and both have a very large vocabulary for their ages (they basically taught themselves these things we don't do those baby brain training things). Maybe they would be smarter if I hadn't eaten any?

Hello, Atomic hopefully you will see this! It has definitely been a while. I am not TTC, my cycles have been MIA for over a year, I'm quite certain. I have not been charting but haven't had it....
Not sure where to ask not TTC
