Hello everyone. I'm new to this. I was wondering if any of you mommies has hypothyroid and swayed for a girl. Did you do the LE diet or the IE diet? I don't want to throw off my thyroid levels. And would appreciate advice from anyone who might know about this.Thank You so much!
I did LE PCOS style! I can recommand it!
Hypo here. Did unintentional LE diet and am pregnant with a girl.

Yes lots of gals on here have swayed with LE Diet and gotten girls with hypothyroid.
I do not recommend IG Diet FOR ANYONE let alone anyone with medical conditions. It's really unhealthy.
Have you talked to your doctor about your plans to TTC?? They may want to tweak your meds and I"d also ask about if you should take iodine or not (it's in many prenatals and you may not be ABLE to take it, it can be risky for you, so you'd have to be extra careful to find a prenatal without iodine in it)
Hi Atomic. I haven't talked to my doctor about wanting to sway. But I think that would be a great idea. I have mild hypothyroidism. And I only take around 25mcg(lowest dosage) I try to stay away from foods that can interfere with my thyroid medication. I usually don't go over 1100-1200 calories a day. And then ill eat a little extra one day out of the week. I've been eating dairy everyday since I found out it can be great for a girl sway. But it's usually just a yogurt and a piece of cheese. I've also been lowering my sodium intake. Do you think that too much dairy may possibly set my thyroid off balance? And do you recommend I still take a calcium and magnesium supplement everyday?
Throwaway.Aww, Congratulations.That gives me hope! How many calories do you think you consumed daily? Did you eat a lot of dairy? May I ask what your diet consisted of on a daily basis?
Sweet dream, Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl.
Thanks! I actually have major depression/anxiety over having a girl, but at least it helps to help those who want one.Quote:

I ate no red meat ever (venison in a blue moon), minimal protein. I worked out a lot, so I often was netting anywhere from 800-1200 calories a day with occasional spikes (and even lower lows). I don't recommend this practice, since I was dealing with a relapse of my ED.
I took a prenatal for ages, but an average day might be coffee and almond milk in the morning and one meal at night (smoked salmon and rice, pork, chicken, asparagus, caprese panini, etc.) Decent amount of alcohol, though usually craft beer
Exercise wise, I lifted 4x a week, biked 2-4x a week, played volleyball 1-2x a week, and hiked or walked pretty often. Occasional running. I rarely went a day without some form of international exercise.

As long as you're not taking the dairy (or at least a lot of dairy) within 1-4 hours of your pill, it won't affect your thyroid.Quote:

You don't need to talk to them about swaying, (and in fact they'll be very negative)
I do NOT think eating lots of dairy is "great for a girl sway". If you believe in cal-mag for swaying (many of us got opposites taking it and eating lots of dairy and are kinda over that part) then do supps only. You can have dairy on LE Diet but it's not good to eat/drink the massive amounts because it has gobs of other nutrients in it.
RE sodium - most of us have given up on that part and our results are higher than ever. It's your call to make but I would double check that with a doctor because that is the source of some iodine for most people and if you need to get some from diet (which you may not on the meds - that is out of my pay grade tho) then you may need to find another way to get it.
Also I only have your second questionnaire, if you do the first one I can get your plan done.
