With DS 4 I was taking:

Prenatal vitamin
DHA
Calcium (IG levels)
Magnesium (IG levels)
100 mg B6
Vit. D (IG levels)
4000 mcg folic (I had to take this much folic because my DS 3 has a mild form of spina bifida)
Vitex

With my DD, I wasn't taking ANYTHING. I had totally given up that month, it was seriously the last month I was going to try due to my age, and I felt like I had NO chance at pg. I ran out of prenatals and DHA about 6 weeks before I got pg and didn't have $$ to replace them, and then I read some stuff that folic acid could cause cancer and I quit taking it about a month before I got pg. My attitude was kind of, eh, F-it, I won't get pg anyway. If I had known I was going to get pg after all I would NEVER have stopped the folic acid for sure and would have found a way to get more prenatals and DHA. Baby looks normal so hopefully I dodged a bullet there (but DS 3 spina bifida was not visible on ultrasound either.)

I had been taking Vitex for 5 or 6 months before that month but I stopped it the month before I got pg.

My failed sway in in my blog post at the bottom of this page and also a bit on the next page as well. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/scie...othesis-2.html It's posted on IG. I wasn't on this site when I did that sway, this site didn't even exist then. :) Hope this helps.

Glad I found all this info too

Atomic you are a superstar!! I've just joined (after a freak out while looking at all the info over on the other site) and you make it so easy to research swaying! Thank you so much.

I second what Atomic said above, DS1 was an accident but I was taking a normal multivitamin, along with diet high in vitamin c and totally boy diet, but more notable, ds2 I was on Pregnancy multivitamin, calc&mag, super high dose folic acid (no idea why but my doc put me on the 5000mg one). This time taking nothing, bar folic acid (1000mg) and cranberry only from AF to O. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for this post, it is starting to make sense in my head now!
I had eating issues/disorder if you like for a long time, I was trying for seven months to get preg but didn't, I decided I must be too skinny/unhealthy so put on some weight and had my first son :D Post pregnancy I ate a lot better and for son two, we tried Shettles and it didn't change a thing obviously! I am excited at the thought that dieting could sway pink, but I am a little worried about going too far with it and getting to thin!
I was discussing this low everything sway with my mum, and she said that makes sense, if the female is the weaker the body would strive to produce a female as replacement/assurance and visa versa if the male were deemed weaker the female body would strive to produce a male, very Darwinian!

Well i feel like a totally idiot for following IG all this time =/
Thank God im not pregnant yet! lol

People have had successes doing things the IG way, don't beat yourself up!! :) Just happy you found us!

this was great to read as i too was on ig prob nearly six years ago when i was preg wi my third some whos nearly 5 now ... i never went back on it after he was born as i was pretty sure i was done with having babies and now here i am back in the 2ww after no swaying and just leaving it in Gods hands so heres hoping i have conceived my precious baby girl x
:)

Good luck, Dazie! :cheer:
