I'm 4'11" and slim, but my diet was very boy-friendly without knowing it!

I am 5'6 currently 148lbs with a fairly small frame (my finger and thumb touch when wrapped around my wrist). Most of my family have a small frame but there are a lot of people who are tall.
My family loves salt, sugar, and meat!

To measure frame you wrap your thumb and middle finger around your opposute wrist if they do not touch you are large boned,if they do touch you are average and if they overlap you are small framed...no stretching allowed lol its only how your fingers natually fall.My sister inlaw who is 4ft6 and 90 pounds which is very small still has average bone structure.

I am 5'6 and big boned (my fingers are a long way from touching and watches are always too small!). My weight varies as I'm all or nothing, either being angelic on a diet or eating everything in sight! If I got to 150lb I would look ill - 165lb is actually a good looking, healthy weight for me.

I´m 5´4, always considered myself large boned, but with this wrap I´m actually small boned.
My boys come from high testosteron for sure and boy friendly diet.

I'm about 5'3" and average-framed according to the wrist test. My diet was very boy-friendly. My mother has a similar frame to mine and eats a salt-heavy diet and she had 3 boys before she had me.

Between 5'4 and 5'5 and very small framed. I love my red meat and banana's though so I think that is what made my delicious baby boy.

I am 5'1" and small frame. Right now I weigh about 115 lbs. My diet was very boy friendly and so was timing and exercise.

5'5', small framed, 113 lbs. - trying to lose 2 more but I may have reached a plateau. I think I could probably lose 5 more if I were to quit BF DS#2. Was a vegetarian w/DS#1 and a Vegan w/DS#2 so there were certainly other factors in giving us boys. I blame propping my hips up and using an instead cup both times, lol.

I'm 5'3 and overweight. Per the wrist test I am averaged boned. I think my son came from timing (iui) and high testosterone due to pcos.
Edited to add that my mom is about 5'1 and had 4 girls before conceiving my brother. She was also very fertile and I am not.

I am curious. I am 5'10" with a large bone structure. I sometimes feel like amazon woman. I wonder with losing all this weight if I am still predisposed to have another boy. My great grandmother was tall and build big too (we even have the same curly hair) and had 5 boys. I know they were poor though and ate a long of potatoes, they lived in Maine (probably salt too) and maybe a lot of meat. She never really lost weight between pregnancy either. :think:
Statistically speaking, if you are tall you are more likely to have boys. This having been said, it's not anywhere close to 100% and there are plenty of very tall people with girls (I was just watching Julie and Julia and Julia Child's sister was supertall and then she got pg and I thought, that's gonna be a boy for sure - but NO, it was a girl!!)
I am 5-4 and my husband is 6-3. Our older boys came out tiny like me for some reason:think:

I am 5ft 9, very small framed, weigh only 125-130lbs normally. I have 3 boys, but I have always eaten a high calorie diet, despite my weight, because I seem to metabolise quickly. I also like things like potato chips and marmite (yeast extract) and soy sauce, all salty. Funnily enough though I don't really like potatoes, tomatoes and red meat, all boy foods. But overall my diet when conceiving the boys was boy friendly, DS1 - a lot of processed food, DS2 - just after christmas, a time of over-indulgence on junk, and DS3 - just after holiday, another time of over-indulgence on junk.
I pray I was disciplined enough on the girl diet this time, I did lose about 9lbs I couldn't really afford to lose!!

I'm just under 5'3" and small-framed (cool wrist tip!) and while I've usually hovered around the 100-lb. mark since adolescence, most recently I've been closer to 105. I keep thinking I need to work to shed some of that weight (my pants don't feel comfy around the waist!) but since I intend to start my full sway after Christmas, I figure I better hang onto a little extra weight so I have some to lose when I am low-everything-ing (how's that for a verb!:)) and, if I can handle it, doing the 60-70 minutes of exercise six times a week.
While I've had more of a sweet tooth in recent years, I would say as a rule in my life I've been more into salt -- bacon just might be the world's perfect food. ;) I was a breakfast eater with both of my boys -- oatmeal every morning before DS#1 and a smoothie of banana/blueberries/juice/yogurt before DS#2.

Why does being tall sway boy? Boy this is depressing between this and the GERD/ acidic reflex I found out I have today (which I thought I was having a heart attack it was so bad) do I really have a chance for conceiving a girl?
More muscle mass = more testosterone and also in DH, taller men usu. have bigger testicles and bigger testicles make more sperm.
Please don't be depressed though, it is a slight statistical variation and you still have every chance at a DD. AFter all, where do all the tall chicks come from anyway??? Tall moms and tall dads!!
I know firsthand that my good friend Little Ladybug from IG is also 5-10 and has 3 boys and then the most gorgeous little gal you ever did see.
Rebecca Romejn - 5-11 ft. tall and twin girls
Brooke Shields - 6 ft and 2 daughters
And I'm sure there are many many others.
