    What was your diet focus Succesful pink swayers?

    Successful pink swayers! Just wondering if you focused on low salt in your diet or if it was more on low nutrients and low fat?

    My biggest thing I watched for was lower fat and protein.....salt within reason and lower nutrients when possible. I have to say I had a lot of cucumber, rice combos!!!

    Science, official research, and the research/success on this site all agree: salt doesn't sway much either way, if at all. Very salt intake and dangerously low intake may sway pink, but not strongly. Low fat, low nutrients, low overall cals and low protein are definitely the biggest pink sway factors, WAY beyond salt.

    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

    I got my 4th boy limiting sodium and then my daughter with both DH and I eating tons of it. I also saw TONS of people back on IG who limited sodium and took cal/mag and then did not change their diet otherwise, who got boys - that was one of the first things I noticed that had me going hmmm...if it's the minerals then why isn't that working??? Only the people who totally changed their diets are having girls. And it went the other way too, with ladies who were eating top ramen and actually taking capsules of sodium, but not changing their diets otherwise, getting girls when people who were eating more meat and more vegetables were getting boys on the IG diet.

    That sodium restriction is something that I would completely do away with, but it is harmless and doesn't prohibit conception, so I leave it in at the individual's discretion. But I think most of the successful ladies on here don't restrict sodium any more.

    My biggest thing was limiting the nutrients from my diet. I would purposely buy organic rice and pasta since they tend to not be fortified with the extra vitamins and minerals. I also stuck with lots and LOTS of rice, corn, bread, and matzos.
