Lager or cider!!

Not a magic bullet, and if you're in good condition overall it may be just something that you can easily shake off!!

Although our DS1 was conceived on our honeymoon and we were certainly having a few then...

When you're young, you are more able to withstand things that can otherwise diminish your overall condition.

Oh no lol, I'm not an alcoholic ! BUT I will admit, my last three girls where conceived after weddings in which my husband and I drank a bit more then we should have. I want to be honest so we all can get some good evidence that would point to the theory being a more pink sway...I did drink to the point of being drunk. My husband drank to that point too. Please note that although I do drink about 1-2 glasses of wine a week,I do NOT heavely drink on a regular basses . My Mother and Father- in- law are acohaulics the are the parents of 3 boys. My husbands grand father was an acohaulic and the had 9 kids all boys but two. My thought is maybe a night of a mother'sheavy drinking changes the ph drastically due to the body not being used to it? ....but then that's not the case for your Mom,grandma,and Aunt. Very interesting ! :)

I've been pretty much teetotal for the last six years since conceiving DS1. However, if I do have a drink - maybe a couple of times a year - I like a small dram of neat single malt (all or nothing, me!). Any thoughts on how it *may* sway if I was to incorporate a couple of drams a week in lead up to ov? Also how on earth do we count cals for it? I'm leaning towards it being a healthier drink with nutrients, but not sure. Would help me a lot avoiding the big O is I was tipsy in our attempts sa I'm useless then! I'd also get away with it being close to Xmas :giggle:

I think it will sway pink, if it sways. I looked up the nutrients and there weren't any to speak of. Jsut count the calories.

Well, DH and I had a lot of (mostly red) wine in our system when my last boy was conceived, we DTD -2, -1 and O day, it was during the Easter holidays and we were in party mode! It could be that we DTD too much for Pink or the oxidants in the wine made me too `healthy` :rofl: We weren't swaying though, but partying mode also means lots of yummy, protein rich, calorie packed food. I was 10 kg overweight (still am! :o

The antioxidants in wine don't amount to anything compared to your overall diet as a whole.

I think it depends exactly what your drinking idk, b/c 2 of my boys (the last 2) were conceived during drunken intercourse. so I was thinking the opposite (if you want a girl) don't conceive when your drunk. lol

but then I just read what atomic just put so, the moms of girls, probably had diets, etc. that swayed girl and it was a coincidence.
