New and just started TTC girl

Hi,

I'm did read a lot about swaying. We will start TTC Girl. We have 2 lovely boys and would like to add a girl to the family. We are aged 40 (DH) and 34 (me).
I'm a real snacker so I do understand why we already have two boys :cool: (one shettles opposite and one IG opposite). I just changed my eating habits by starting the LE diet (very hard). My BMI is already a bit low (BMI 18) so I decided to skip exercise and will eat 1800 - 2000 kcal a day. When eating less, I feel very bad.

Supplements: I use folic acid and DH licorice root. I drink 2-3 times a day peppermint tea (now every day but when TTC, until a few days before my O). With the boys, I drank lots of milk and did eat lots of yoghurt so I'm skipping milk and yoghurt. I eat only vegetarian
and skip breakfast. I eat twice a day and wait eating till I feel hunger pains.

We would do one attempt at positive OPK.

I would like to have some advice: do you think this is ok to increase the change of a baby girl?

Welcome. You sound like you got a great plan in place. Good luck.

Thanks GirlieCat! Hope so.

Anyone succesfull with a sway like this?

Good luck! I swayed pink as well and am 8 weeks pregnant. Won't know for a while if my sway was succesful.

Most ladies on here are trying to cut out tea and add in coffee, three serving per day. Black if you cam manage it as with milk it counts as a snack and also alcohol daily.

You sway looks pretty strong to me. It is best to be on the diet 12+ weeks, it took me a while to conceive so I was on other longer than that. I had to loosen up my sway towards the end as cycles went wacky, but I have a dd already so hoping I can make another. Most pink swayers are vegetarian, good luck and pink dust!

Hi and welcome!! You can still have milk and yogurt on LE just stay within overall limits for hte day.

I think you're doing exactly what I'd recommend! Good luck!

Thanks! What is the swaying succesrate for a girl based on a LE diet like this? Normally (without) sway it's somewhere around 45% chance for a girl After two boys. Right?

It goes up and down between 70-75% for dieting 12 weeks or more, and then both coffee and alcohol have had at times higher success more like 80% (although honestly I am not quite ready to "trust" that 80% yet!!)

New to the site as starting my sway this week (12 weeks until TTC ) - can you elaborate on the coffee/alcohol I think I have missed something! Thanks in advance. This site has been immensely helpful

Atomic, is it true that tea is not allowed?
I thought tea was ok to drink?

I thought only peppermint tea? 2-3 times a day?
