any boy moms with fertility problems?

[gizmo77]

i have a friend (i swear its not me) that has one boy who is 4. she has been trying for #2 for over a year. i asked her about her diet and she basically eats a girl style diet: no breakfast, barely any meat/protein, one fruit a day if that, all skim dairy if any dairy at all. she says she s been eating like this her whole life. she has a very thin body style. she is 35.

#1) how the heck did she have a boy?
#2) any of you boy mom out there that ended up having fertility problems even after having a boy or two?

i told her to start drinking whole milk and eat 9 servings of fruits/vegies a day, eat often, but thats a boy diet which is also good for fertility overall right?

how can she increase her fertility while swaying girl??

perhaps she had a different diet/lifestyle when she conceived her DS?

she could try hormone balancing drinks such as peppermint tea or RLT

I did!! my first two babies came soo easy i concieved while on birth control and they were born in 98 and 99.We started ttc #3 when our youngest was 17 months and i did everything to make getting pregnant easy but we went months with no bfp then a bfp after 10 months ttc which ended in a loss.We did finally concieve and he was born when ds2 was 4...not the 2.5 year spacing that i had dreamt of lol all my babies that have fallowed have come very easy so im not sure what the problem was but i just think my body was not wanting to be pregnant for some reason.

Fertility is an odd thing. I know people who have had 1 baby and not been able to conceive another yet and I also know ladies who have had IVF to conceive their first then have gone on to have their others naturally and easily. I guess I would advise her to do all the boy sway things which raise fertility because swaying for a girl is all about lowering fertility and if she's not conceiving by doing those things then she won't conceive either gender!

my girl i got pg without even trying my boy took 5 years but i think the reason i ended up with a boy second time was because i was doing everything i could to be friendly for pg.

1)Three possibilities:
Her fertility has declined since she conceived her son
The one month she was fertile enough to conceive, she was so fertile she was able to conceive a son (and luck has a role to play in this)
She could have a condition such as PCOS that is bad for fertility but still sways blue regardless due to higher testosterone.

2)It is totally possible to have fertility problems after having several boys. This happened with the Mature Mamas on IG repeatedly and that is why I hate to see people do too many things to sway without taking into consideration that their bio clock is always ticking away. Some of those gals could have had 2 natural attempts (or light sway attempts) in the time they wasted on swaying and also going HT for some of them, and instead ended up with no baby at all and to me, that breaks my heart.

3)If a person is already struggling with fertility, they may need to do everything in their power just to conceive. One person may do everything boy friendly and end up with a girl because that's the only way her body could conceive. Anything less than full fertility was infertility for that person. (BTW this is also how people get girls on Preseed - they need the Preseed to conceive at all.)

4)Also, just to stress again something we don't talk about enough on this site, LUCK.

just talked more in debt with her. she was living with her in laws when she conceived son and so tehrefore had more access to food, red meats, salty fried foods, etc. whereas now they have their own place and too lazy to eat/cook. mostly eat out, maybe cooks one day a week. but eats less defly...she s going to try boy diet for fertility and clomid. thx!
