I don't generally recommend the peppermint tea any more but as long as you've not seen any changes in your cycle, carry on.
Yes, you need to continue the diet (not just skipping breakfast, but the whole diet) until you get a BFP. We see VERY dramatic differences in people who only did diet 2-4 weeks as opposed to 6+ (and of course 12+ is best) and given the poor results for 2-4 weeks of diet, it does not make any sense to go off diet 2 weeks every month!
Please continue exercise till BFP.

I got my BFP on Tuesday
Not sure whether we will find out. I'm just so excited to be pregnant again!
Surely will be another boy if we conceived first go?
Thank you Atomic for the knowledge - I'll let you know either way!

I've actually started spotting like when I had a miscarriage so thinking maybe it's a chemical

Spotting in early pregnancy is not unusual. It's not over till it's over.
Are you still drinking the peppermint tea?? If so, drop it.
Lots of people conceive girls the first time out!

I stopped peppermint tea a day or so before ovulation.
Quite heavy with some very small clots of tissue now I'm on holiday - get back tomorrow so will take another test on Sunday.
Is it more likely to sway boy/girl if ttc after a chemical or is it irrelevant?

Yes, I'm so sorry to say that is not a good sign. I did have what seemed to be a normal period and ended up successfully pregnant, and I know several people for whom that was also the case, but it's obviously more likely that it isn't working out.
On paper we believe chemicals have the potential to sway pink, but real world application is that it's ~probably~ not very effective a sway tactic. Later losses definitely because they're more depleting and have the stronger effects on hormones. Chemicals are just not there long enough to really seem to have the strong effects we see in later losses.

Wait, what? Did you conceive after this, or did this pregnancy work out?
