An old work mate of mine has thyroid issues. She has a boy and a girl. She did have the thyroid issues sorted but I'm not sure if that was between kids. There isn't much of an age gap between the kids so I don't think so.

My gender dreaming success arrived safe July 2015. He is a complete dream come true and an absolutely beautiful little boy.
A huge thank you to Atomic for all her encouragement when I was up against things out of my control and ready to chuck it in. I can never thank you enough. Thank you also to all the other knowledgeable and ever supportive ladies that have helped and encouraged me. I truly believe my dream would not have come true without this site, my boy gender plan and the incredible love and support.

I'm with Lilith. I avoid aspartame religiously, along with trans fats. I don't think they are safe in any amounts. Sucralose/Splenda is fine, though, IMO.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

What kind of a reaction? I don't consume much splenda bc it's much too sweet for me as it is used in most products. I prefer less sweet like glucose or xylitol. But I can at least say that from a chemical perspective, splenda seems stable and safe, and the research on it doesn't worry me. But it might not sway at all (beyond indirectly, if used in place of caloric sweeteners) simply bc it IS safe.

Interesting line of thought. I conceived my first son drinking far, far too much diet soda. I also had an undiagnosed autoimmune issue. HOWEVER, the rest of everything was "how to conceive a boy 101." Lol. Gaining weight, occasional exercise each week at random times, sex every 2-3 days, snacking and maintaining blood sugar, etc, etc. So, it's hard to really say if the diet drinks had a part in that. (Oh, but he was a BC baby, which I believe sways pink, so there's that).
My second son we had JUST begun treating the autoimmune disorder. Like, the week we conceived him we realized the problem and went to medication. I drank some diet soda, but nothing excessive. I wouldn't say my diet or pattern was particularly girly or boyish in terms of diet, timing, etc. Just some of each.
My daughter, we had actively been treating the autoimmune condition for over a year. I drank pretty little diet soda/aspertame with her. And we swayed girl. Not an overly aggressive sway though.
This baby, again, actively treating the autoimmune disorder, light pink sway. Not sure what the outcome is. I did probably consume slightly more diet drinks before conceiving this child. I was "burning the candle at both ends" this time and had some personal issues going on. I know I relied on soda and coffee to get me through.
I wonder if you might be onto something with the autoimmune and aspertame though. I know my dad has an autoimmune is very sensitive to aspertame. Now, not necessarily linked, I also know a gentleman who has Lupus and can't tolerate diet soda.
I'm not a huge fan of aspertame, but, unfortunately, I love diet soda. I hate the taste of regular soda. How backwards is that?! I'd be curious as to the link between these things, if any. Although the only child I can say I drank aspertame to excess was my first son.A: "Owner" of the following brood:
-Our biggest surprise dude (L: 2009)
-Our rainbow little man (K: 2011)
-Our sway and pray little diva (J: 2013)
-Our lucky charm guy (S: 2015)
We may be done, we may come back for one more sway. Time will tell. At the moment, we are very content with our family!

It gave me insomnia, panic attacks and heart palpitations. Never had a panic attack before or since. I realized I was waking up feeling fine, then drinking my mid-morning tea with splenda, feeling terrible for the next several hours, then starting to feel better around dinner time, then having an herbal tea with splenda, ending up having a panic attack at bedtime and unable to sleep for several hours. When I dropped the Splenda, it went away and never came back (evne tho I still continue to drink both tea and herb tea)
I know that chemically it doesn't look like it should do anything, but when I accidentally eat something that has splenda in it (which happens from time to time since it's included in more and more things) I immediately start to feel very weird and strange. IT's not a coincidence or in my mind, either, because it has happened with things that I have safely consumed before such as v8 splash and Lipton green tea when they added splenda to them suddenly and without my notice. IT's also in one flavor of rice cake and I had eaten all the other flavors of rice cakes with no issue and then reacted only to the one with the Splenda in it (and again, I did not read the label prior to eating it)!!!

Wow, that's awful - but also fascinating. I don't think it's in your head at all. Halogenated substances are often psychoactive/neuroactive (halogens are highly reactive & most antidepressants are halogenated) and sucralose is tri-chlorinated, so there is probably a clear biochemical basis for your reaction. Most likely certain receptors of yours are slightly different from most people's, just enough that they partially bind with sucralose, producing those unpleasant side effects. It could be genetic, so I'd warn your kids if you haven't already.
