I know recommendation is no coffee for DW and for DH sane amounts.
My DH never drinks coffee, so that part is OK.

I like nes-caffe 1-2 times a day with milk and sugar. If it it's no-no, I'll stop 90 days before my next sway.
The thing is I personally know so many women who drink coffee religiously and have boys or boys only.
One of them is my friend who is coffee junky ( black coffee without sugar 5-6 times a day + she smokes) and so far 3 boys. They are going for no4, I bet it will be another boy :sad: Some people are just lucky I guess.

With DD1 I wasn't drinking coffee at all, DD2 occasionally black coffee with sugar, this time nes-caffee with milk and sugar, not every day.

How about chicory as a replacement? Chicory | Benefits of Chicory plant (http://www.liveandfeel.com/medicinalplants/chicory.html)

It has detoxifying effects, caffeine free and it's alkalyzing. Also helps with glucose levels. It is primarily recommended for people with gastrointestinal problems, bit it sounds boy-friendly? :think:

I was thinking to take it with full-fat milk maybe?

Chicory sounds good for a boy sway. 3pink1blue drank coffee in her sway and she got a boy:) I think putting full fat milk in it is a good idea. I drank coffee once a day not sure if it helped or hurt

Coffee 1-2 cups a day is fine for a blue sway. More than that, even tho some people can shake it off and still conceive girls, is not good for fertility and would tend to sway pink.

Tea is better tho - I got 4 boys with tea and only rarely coffee, then DD with tons of coffee. Tea is the one thing that all my boy conceptions have in common.

Re chicory - I would not take chicory in supplement form because it contains a kind of fiber that would sweep nutrients from your digestive tract. I have to give my little boy with spina bifida, chicory supplements because he gets really constipated. But roasted chicory root as a beverage either alone or as an addition to coffee would be good for a blue sway (the fiber would stay with the chicory root and not go into the flavored water.) In New Orleans and other parts of the American South, they mix roasted chicory root in with their coffee to give it a unique flavor, yummy!!

PHEW! I get headaches if I give up coffee. I only drink two cups a day so it seems that should be fine for my boy sway.
