What is that???? Like accupuncture?
Yes, she did the moxibustion along with accupuncture. It was just on a thicker needle and the cone burned for 20 minutes or so, but the needle remained in through the rest of the session along with the acupuncture needles.Quote:

Since DS1 wasn't planned, I don't know when I Od or anything, and I had my O date wrong with ds2, so not sure when they were conceived (Ds1 was conceived in May and DS2 in June).
DS3 was not planned - I missed a week of bcp. At that time I was student teaching, so I was stressed out, got little sleep, and had just finished bfing ds2. I had just lost a lot of weight. I was eating less cereal then - I mostly ate breakfast sandwiches at school (although I was still eating a bowl of cereal at night). Still drinking a lot of coffee. Oh, and I was no longer a vegetarian. Not sure when he was conceived in relation to O - it was in March, though.
With all three, I was taking Allegra for allergies. I also hate artificial sweeteners, so I rarely used them. I really think our tendency towards boys is genetic - I know that's been disproven, but dh's family is very boy-heavy, and I have 4 nephews and no nieces.
Wow, Jennasue, that is very interesting! Maybe you are right about the genetic disposition to boys, but here's to hoping your next is a pink caboose. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I also think maybe the frequent bd has something to do with it, since that's been a constant with all three boys. I don't think I can talk my dh into abstaining for this one though.Quote:

I always ate a big breakfast and was really healthy in my eating habits. Conceived in October, chinese gender calendar was right on. Full moon phase, orange juice, lots of snacking
Lola- yes, it worked for me and several other ladies I mentioned it to on IG a while ago. I will bear in mind what atomic said though and not make it too hot.
RE 4 nephews and no nieces...in my family, we have 7 b and 1 g cousins BUT the problem is that some of those people are not even genetically related to each other (one is adopted and another is a "kissing" cousin.) And the one with the girl IS genetically related to others with all boys!! I know it's hard to believe, but it really can be simple coincidence.
Hi girls, thought I would add in my tuppence worth here.
I have 2 boys and swayed for neither - didn't even know it existed!!
DS1 - He was conceived about the time I got married!! We decided to stop being careful as we got married and would see what happened. I had lost a load of weight partly through wedding stress and by eating smaller portions but I think I had probably relaxed that as the wedding day approached! We DTD once before the wedding unprotected then quite frequently from wedding night onwards. I suspect I O on the day we got married! I always propped my hips afterwards and never J&D. Anyway, I came home from my honeymoon pregnant!
DS2 - We decided to TTC again and we DTD every day/other day between the end of AF and O and fell the first month of trying. Again, I always propped my hips and never J&D.
My diet for both of them was similar in that we would eat red meat (mince beef) probably twice a week. would often eat prepared food (chicken kiev, breaded cod etc). I always ate breakfast - usually porridge. With DS1, often ate WW soup for lunch which is quite high in salt and probably sandwiches with DS2. I always drank tea with both (3-4 cups a day) and would have wine most friday and saturday nights (not to excess, just a couple of glasses expect on my wedding night where i was quite drunk!!). I never took a vitamin and with DS1 didn't even start folic acid until I knew I was pregnant!
Hope that helps someone and my blue dust is free to a good home......
Good luck xx
