Hi New Here Can You Please Help Me?
TTC BOY
Hi I'm From BC Canada am almost turning 40 and Dh is 44. I have 3 beautiful daughters who are so desperately praying for a younger brother of their own. and DH and I would love to have a little boy as well this is our last chance as we are pushing our age. I am a strict Vegetarian and DH is not.
I was following a plan I shared with a friend and I guess it was off I-G. Somebody from Babycentre highly recommended GenderDreaming and from so far what I've read makes more sense.
I have had 2 miscarriages in the past two years however I was not swaying at that time but was under high stress. Things have changed and I'm trying to sway and be healthy so if you can Please Please Help me in any way I would really appreciate it.

My Diet: Prior to sway I was a meal skipper. Looking back when I conceived my daughters I ate lots of meat, no dairy, lots of diet soda, Meat and veggies but like I said I skipped meals.
It has been difficult but 3 months ago I have changed my ways and force myself to eat 3 balanced meals with fruit or other snacks in between. I cut out dairy completely because that is what I was told. Breakfast I have 1 slice of toast with peanut butter and a fruit like banana, apricot or nectarine OR Oatmeal with soaked almonds cashews and raisins with 1 tsp maple syrup. Then i eat fruit again with some slated peas and chickpeas or veggies with the nuts. Lunch I have a Veggie subway sandwich with guacamole or pesto pine nut pasta with cherry tomatoes or lentils, I eat veggie burgers made from quinoa kale and spinach with lots of tomato iceberg lettuce. i eat celery, cucumber with lemon juice on it. A greek style salad with lemon juice and olive oil with salt but no feta. Greek style lemon potatoes. I eat lentils with tomato in it, Potato curries, Stirfry, dry fruit like apricot, fig, dates, dry pineapple, with dry nuts and beans like Cashews, Tamari Almonds, Dry roast peanuts, wasabi peas, chickpeas. Veggie Pizza with loads of veggies, mushroom and no cheese. I cook everything with olive oil.
For a month now I have been drinking Vortex Alkaline water with lemon juice in it 3 times a day.
I am starting V8 and nutritional Yeast Flakes Tomorrow.
I cannot down crazy stuff like Baking Soda, Cot, or ACV. I tried once and got seriously sick.
I tried BSF and DTD was painful and resulted in a serious Yeast infection
DH Diet: eats all kind of meat. Can't tolerate regular milk was taking soy but switched to Almond or Almond with Coconut for his morning All Bran Cereal. He has coffee in the morning with 1-3 tsp Heavy Cream (He loves the taste of cream in his coffee... lol).
He does drink Diet soda once a day; he has been trying really hard to replace it with lemon juice in club soda instead, has had some fall backs with that. He has at least 3 fruits a day apple, banana, nectarine, sometimes pineapple. For lunch at work he has a cliff bar, PBJ Sandwiches, fruit; he likes his meats right off the grill so he waits till he gets home. We both have 9pm popcorn crunching syndrome...lol so i'm not sure if that is ok it's microwavable light butter popcorn.
As for timing. When we conceived the girls it was like a task. Dh doesn't believe in timing he feels like BD should be natural and enjoyable and like the best night ever for the both of us. In his mind we're not trying but if it happens then it's a pleasant surprise? He just want's me to relax and enjoy and not feel like it's a task. I don't think I O'd when we conceived our girls because it was sort of planned we were trying to have kids.
We were considering September, October or November for swaying but because I've cut out dairy does that ruin my chances? My O would be first week of September.
Thankyou and my sincerest apologies for the length of this in advance!

Personally, I'd drop the popcorn or make your own with real butter (air poppers or other electric poppers like stir crazy are awesome). Microwave popcorn is incredibly unhealthy, it's just GMO corn & chemicals (including known carcinogens).
I notice you mention a lot of veggie foods, are you vegetarian? If not, meat, especially red meat is good for boys.
I'm swaying girl, but I'm pretty sure I saw Atomic discourage BSF for boy swayers, so don't worry about not doing it. :)
