Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
My whole life I have never been a breakfast eater. Or a snacker. I completely changed my diet. Was eating everyday within an hour of waking. Bedtime snack every night. Snacking throughout the day. Big difference from what I used to do. I would normally have my first meal of the day at dinner and then a late night snack. I had already months before starting to sway been drinking nothing but water or lemon water so I just continued that. And then I would have a V8 every night.

Little over 6 weeks

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I completely changed the way I ate. Even DH made several comments about it. I know we caught the egg right away! I feel good about the number of attempts so close to O.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
DH was a little worn out from all the sex so I don't know if he had many swimmers. I could have done more weights. Just had a lot going on so couldn't find time do them as much as I wanted. May or may not have been sick during attempts. Felt awful a day or so after first attempt still not sure if it was just allergies. Chinese gender chart says girl.
Things worth mentioning:
I gave it my all. I honestly don't think I could have done more. If this doesn't work DH and I have decided to go HT next time. We really want a DS but most of all we just want a healthy sibling for DD.
Special thanks to Atomic! You always answered my 915370915745 questions even if I was asking them over and over again! You are awesome! Also a special thanks to Cinss, Anchor, dloui128 .. so many others were constantly helping me but I am drawing a blank over excitement .. sorry! This site has been such a blessing to my husband and I. We were ok with having a girl after knowing that we "tried everything we could" and really thought us being Vegetarians was going to hurt us in the long run. But with all the advice we got it looks like we pulled it off!!! I just can't say thank you enough. And best thing is this little one is looking healthy too! Everyone on this site is so supportive and wonderful!!! Here is a potty shot from my 13 week scan!!
