My friend is having a girl after three boys!

Coffee is totally allowed on LE but NOT on IG, FGD, PGD.

Pretty much everyone I know with a lot of girls are HUGE caffeine addicts, both the hubbies and the wives.

That is also something that kept coming up on IG and a lot of the pink mamas reported very high caffeine intake and did not want to give that up for their blue sway.

I did drink two cups of coffee during some cycles while swaying, now I´m back to decaf because there are studies that say coffee increases changes of miscarriage, but I stopped drinking real coffee especially because it makes me feel VERY goal orientated and wanting to take on challenges and resolve them succesfully immediately...after a cup of coffee I have at least 3 new projects on my mind and go off to start or tackle them right away, so for me I think that´s how caffeine might make my T go up.

Caff can slightly increase odds of miscarriage.

You are right Indira, coffee can make you feel goal oriented too so it's good that you noticed that and took steps. For me, when I drink coffee I want to do a lot of things but usu end up quivering in a pile on the floor and very ineffective at actually accomplishing anything other than buzzing around like a worried hummingbird.

I drank only tea for DS 3 and 4 and mostly tea with DS 1 and 2.

I think i may try it since sil never ate breakfast and drank coffee and had 3 girls.

This was my mom's recipe too. Plus a lot of cigs (but don't do that!!)

I drank coffee all the time with my first 2 DD's. Not sure if it's part of LE but I would assume it would be considered girl-friendly since large amounts of caffeine are not considered good for fertility.

THIS! Just be sure it doesn't make you super motivated and testosterone-y.

Like AS, I'm a tea drinker now. Always black tea with sugar and creamer 3x a day. I drank lattes when I got pregnant with my boys....Hmmmm.

It may be the CHANGE that matters and not any food/drink per se. Anything you do different, makes your body sit up and take notice. No magic foods!!!

I think coffee with aspartame is a great option. You can even use sugar if you don't eat for a while afterwards (but this can be hard.) Milk/cream is at your discretion (technically, it's prob. best to skip it but I don't think that will make or break anyone's sway) as long as you count it in your calories for the day. Nondairy creamer is another option for pink.
