I think I have come to the conclusion that swaying is impossible for me this summer

I feel like that sometimes too....Today we went a party and it was impossible not to eat....I ate a small dinner and a tiny piece of cake....The way I see it is I am still losing weight...I don't eat like that all the time...I doing everything different than when I got pregnant with my boys..If is meant for me to have a girl I will....Its never gonna to be a perfect time...Don't beat yourselfs up....Do the best you can....Thats my moto anyway

I totally agree! It's not any one meal that your body "notices:, it's the OVERALL pattern. Even our primitive ancestors occasionally found some honey and/or a buffalo carcass now and then.

If it helps any... I know many vegetarians that have had boys. My husband's cousin wife who is a vegetarian and pretty thin, just had her 3rd boy. Maybe it really is the salt and potassium.

Or the protein, the fat, the calories, and the nutrients, ALL of which can be VERY ample in a vegetarian diet.

why can't you be outside? the ions thing say it's better to be outside

Your body manufactures Vit. D from the sun and Vit D boosts testosterone.

I already mentioned this in another thread but for benefit of those who didn't see it, humans and their primate ancestors have lived out of doors for millions of years during which the gender ratio stayed right about 50-50. People didn't even START living indoors until the last few thousand years and many cultures still live mostly outdoors yet their gender ratio stays the same. It makes NO sense to me that any mechanism could have ever evolved that favors the existence of some tiny particle that affects you differently when you're outside if EVERYONE was always outside all the time when Homo Sapiens were evolving.

Thanks ladies for all the support. I just get so frustrated because I feel like every time I get things going I read something that I am doing wrong.

I am going to keep going with what I am doing now, and if I get another DS the next time I TTC I am going to sway in February. I think that will be a much easier time for me.

I agree totally with February and that's also what the data indicates.
