Shettles and O+12 Question

[wishing on a star]

My diet was seriously boy diet too! I started the girl diet back in january and after 1 week i seriously thought i wouldnt be able to do it for much longer!! Here we are 4 months later though and 18lbs lighter still dieting hard, its amazing what you can do if you really put your mind to it!! I have never ever managed to stick to any kind of diet in my life until now and didnt think i had the will power to do it either. All you ladies out there who think its not possible it really easy and believe me when you start to notice the changes you will be able to stick to it, i just really hope this makes a difference and helps my sway.
Dont get me wrong i do have the odd cheat here and there just to keep me sain, and i do ease up a little in the tww but i think the main think is lowering calorie intake. Hopefully i will try and stick to a 2 day cut off for a few more attempts and fingers crossed it works!!

If you have lost all this weight and still on the girl diet then your odds for a girl are high... is your hubby abstaining? He may not be able to abstain.

we tried abstaining last month for 10 days and did a two day cut off with non luck so this month i have tried frequent bd with a 2 day cut off, currentley 3 dpo so praying for a bfp this month. Otherwise will try abstaining with a 2 day cut off again and maybe a O+12 still undecided on that one?! One thing i dont get is im consuming a lot of dairy, mostly all my diet is dairy but im losing weight?! I think its because im eating a lot less then i used too though, was a three meal a day with snacks as well kinda girl lol

Have you looked at the boy diet to see if it looks like how you were eating when you concieved your boys? That's what I noticed most! After looking at it, No WONDER I have 3 boys. LOL So if you are really commited to the girl diet at least 6 weeks before your attempt and all the way until you get your BFP than I wouldn't worry about the timing as much. That's my plan at least. With the supplements, ions, douche and lubes.

Good luck!

I could not agree more - of my three non-sway boys, 2 were straight off the boy diet plus a lot of calcium besides, and my one boy who really didn't fit in with the diet, was conceived at the "boy" time of year LOL. My last boy was a failed sway and I was SO OBSESSED with swaying I think my testosterone levels were sky high.

yes, I think my diet sways boys. I will need to do some big changes to my diet when we try for a girl. Is 6 weeks on the girl diet a minimum time or should you really aim to be on it longer than 6 weeks to really change your body chemistry?

I think 6 weeks is ~probably~ long enough BUT sperm takes 72 days to form and eggs take 90 days, so you may want to stay on the diet a bit longer. The downside is that you should only be on the diet for 6 months and it may take you more than a month to get pregnant.

Some studies found that skim dairy helps you lose weight faster on the same caloric intake! Good news!
