Started the low everything diet in March of 2011 then took a break for a month 1/2 and started back up again. I was only on it again for 2 weeks when I conceived. I was eating under 1,500 calories in the days leading up to ovulation. I was eating a lot of salt free pretzels and diet caff free sodas all day. I was also drink peppermint tea 1-3 times, bottled water maybe once a day, sometimes crystal light, and cranberry juice. I am already a vegetarian. I stopped drinking milk though.

First of all congrats on your pregnancy!!! And I think that there is a lot in there you did that could have swayed. Either way it looks like this baby is going to join a big happy family so lucky baby!!! Best wishes! :)

Congratulations mommyduke, I think you should be pretty happy with that sway!

Congrats! That looks like a good sway to me.I pray you get your dg.xx

Congrats!! I think your sway was strong because despite the short break, you had been doing the diet for a year. It is the overall pattern that sends the signal to your body that times are tough. A short break shouldn't change that.

Also you conceived in one of the strongest girl months!

Wishing you a H&H 9 months! :HH:

Many congratulations mommyduke on your BFP. Looks like a great pink sway! Praying/FX it's a pink bean for you. U So deserve it after all those mths on the diet. Enjoy your pregnancy x

Congrats! Hope this is your girl!

Congratulations mommy duke! I agree with the others, that´s a great sway.
Perhaps for months you were in girly but non-conception-zone, taking the little break made your fertility increase just enough to conceive a little girl, :fingers::luck::fingers::luck::fingers:
And I´m so excited to see a fellow team green-er!

well congrats...you still have a great chance of a girl. Pink vibes coming your way!!!

I think your sway looks good too. Will you find out at 20 U/S or before?
