    Hi Tanya,

    How are you going - have you tested again ?

    WARNING: VENT -
    Well, i have just lost all faith in the diet - swaying etc in general !
    I have just received a text from the friend who got pregnant after me. She had her scan this morning and its a GIRL ! I am so devastated !!

    This is a lady who smokes alot and still is, drinks ONLY diet coke and eats alot of chocolate. Her diet isnt great - obviously. She already has 2 boys.

    This goes against the diet big time - how am i meant to believe that it could possibly work ? Especially when i am doing the opposite !
    The only thing i can put my hopes on now is timing. Cause i have 3 boys and i have a way healthier diet than her.

    Dont get me wrong - I am very happy for her - she has wanted a girl just as much as me.
    I am so sad because i was pinning all my hopes on this diet !

    My week has gone from bad to worse.
    First AF shows up and now this.

    VENT over !
    XO

    AF arrived for me too CB.... *sigh* I hope this cycle brings better luck!

    As for your friend's news... COngrats to her. But I know what you mean. There are so many factors that sway.
    This is quoted from someone I think really knows her stuff in regards to swaying (I have taken out things that may refer to where I got it from so if you would like the link pm me)....
    7 factors of swaying
    1. pH- this means the pH caused by diet, hormones, ions, supplements and douches. A douches is not as good as changing your pH through oral methods.
    2. Minerals- You NEED to track your Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium. For ttc a girl and ttc a boy you have different targets to meet. Minerals are first obtained through diet then supplements.
    3. Diet- It is very important to stick to the gender diet as posted in the FAQ. 1000's of hours have gone into this diet. It is more than just a swaying diet as it encompasses all the studies (gender diet, pH, ions, minerals) into one diet.
    4. Hormones- This is only controlled through supplements, diet and drinks. Studies show that hormones play a huge role is swaying
    5. supplements- I put this in the 7 sway factors because it backs up so many of the factors.
    6. Timing- Many studies say that Timing does not work. However 3 newer studies say it may. Because of the new studies I have left Timing in the sway factors.
    7. Ions- Ions can effect the polarity of your egg and your pH. Ions come from many different sources and some people are as effect by them as others.
    So who knows what your friend had in her favour.... Also I believe and I know the woman I quoted above does also that the diet is one thing that is vital to gender swaying. I will say this in regards to your friend's diet... it was VERY acidifying!! Diet soft drink contains aspartimine (sp?) and that is a huge cm acidifier!! Chocolate is also. However you really don't want to consume these things cause they also prevent calcium absorbtion. So in one sway factor (pH) your friend's diet was good, but another factor (diet and minerals) it was not.

    Has that helped at all?

    Hi girls, I just stumbled across this thread today and thought I'd drop in and ask the lovely Tanya for that link...

    DH & I would love a boy first up and then a girl. I too thought that you need to test your cm (or 'inside') for ph. My diet is very alkaline (I think) which favors a boy from memory so I have never really worried much about tracking etc until we are ttc our 2nd iykwim. But none the less I'd love that reference Tanya for when that time comes, thanks

    I have also read about the timing of bd ie for a boy bd right on ovulation and for a girl bd 3-5 days before ovulation... we have thrown this one out the window as we are so consumed with just haveing a baby that we don't care what gender it is but still being mindful of keeping my body as alkaline as possible and making sure we are bding right on ovulation anyway and hoping those girl sperm don't get to the eggie first
