I totally agree with this. I think every 4 days is not quite often enough for a little man.

How much zinc?

Oh sorry should have read entire thread before answering. IN that case I'd also add in B complex

Thank you princess charlotte! Great to get another mother of boys opinion. I have incorporated fish oil in to my sway now after the suggestions here, and will definitely do the every other day for BD rather than every 4 days. And from this week I will be eating more salty snacks - I honestly thought I would be getting alot of sodium in what I had been eating but after tracking it for a week I'm not actually getting as much as I thought!! Love potato chips though so adding more is not a problem! ;)

All the best of luck for your pink sway!!

Thanks atomic!

I hadn't even thought of the B complex - we have a giant tub in the cupboard for DH so I will start taking too. I have also added in fish oil based on the other ladies suggestions. I have been following the diet for about a week now and I think apart from these two add ins and the BD timing I don't think I need to alter too much, except for more salt! I actually haven't been getting as much as I thought. Doc will be happy as he has told me to up it in the past to help with poor circulation :)

Otherwise I have been on average eating about 200 cals more than I burn, and am at about 90-100g of protein a day with plenty of potassium. Eating a little bit more has actually been more of a challenge than I though!! But i think I have settled in to it now and it will be almost second nature :D

Thank you so much for your input - once I have an attempt in I will add details to the log you have going :)

I don't even think sodium sways blue, so if you're getting 3000-4000 mg a day I would just stick with that. The 5000-6000 mg that is advised on some sites is not healthy and I do not think it helps people get boys anyway.

PS - can I just say I LOVE that you want a boy for your first!! I did too and I was SO happy to get my much hoped for #1 son!!

Thanks so much for all the suggestions - I feel much more comfortable with my sway now!

I know we will be happy with whatever happens, but there is no harm in hoping! :D Atomic, it was great to read your back story in the 'How we got our boys' thread :) :)
