TTC a Girl Sway Attempt

Gender Result:

Boy - (did a private scan yesterday couldn't wait longer). a bit sad and disappointment I won't have the mother-daughter relationship yet, but we were always thinking about 4 kids anyways. I am torn between thinking I could have done more/better with my sway and frustrated that I did so much (planning this for almost a year) and still got a boy. I will buy the plan next time and hope that we get a girl.

Had coffee in the morning, then waited till 12 to have a low-nutrient lunch then waited till at least 6pm for dinner.

I'm new to this and reading this post makes me aware that there's a lot I'm unaware of Can someone provide the best link to read about dietary strategies for swaying? And also, more importantly, is there scientific evidence to support these strategies? thanks!

In my signature below there is a link to "the Complete Index" (copy and paste into your browser bar) and it takes you to a list of essays on various topics and quite an extensive section on diet. I also have my 21 day diet book available for sale and you can read more about that here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/21-d...-plan-faq.html

[atomic sagebrush]

oh and yes I always have scientific reasoning/evidence for everything I recommend. I can address specific q's but it is best to start a new thread on the topic rather than posting in this section (which is dedicated to this person's sway).

Congrats!!!

Thank you ladies!! Forgot to mention also no Big O!
I am a bit hopeful this could be a girl: nauseous every single afternoon/evening (I wasn't with the boys), craving fresh fruit and avoiding meat. ANd 2 psychics said girl, but Cosmitec said boy...
So we'll see in 26 days!
