In my opinion this caffeine before BD for a boy doesn't make a lot of sense. If the caffeine does make sperm go faster it would make both the X and Y carrying sperm swim faster.Quote:

^^^ I agree totally and what's more than that, when doctors studied the sperm that get to the egg fastest, they were dead or dying and appear to serve some other purpose that we don't know about.
No, it doesn't. We have stellar results using coffee as a pink sway tactic, anecdotally I have seen predominantely girls born to men who drink a lot of energy drinks, and the "science" that supposedly supported caffeine for swaying blue (that it makes calcium leach from your body) has actually been totally debunked. Caffeine does NOT make calcium leach from your body and this is 100% proven by blood tests - and we don't even know that calcium sways pink anyway. So PLEASE do not start loading up on caffeine for a boy.Quote:

Tea may have some components that sway blue so feel free to drink black/green tea in moderation but at the same time do take more folic acid since tea can make it harder for your body to utilize folic acid.
Thank youQuote:

I have started drinking more flavoured milk and eating more cheese,eggs, nuts and have added small amounts of turkey and chicken. I have never eaten red meat and don't want to start. I was vegetarian/vegan but when growing up I occasionally ate these things until about 5 months ago.

I honestly don't eat that much red meat, never have. I got boys eating plenty of chicken. :)
Ok great thank you

Hey Atomic,
It's been several months since I've bugged you ;) Because I'm pregnant! We were very excited and due to timing (DH was out of town for work), we DTD only once (approximately 33 hours after a positive OPK) and that's all it took! I honestly thought we'd missed our window and did not think I was pregnant. I took a test 10 days after DTD and it was BFN. Day 12 though....very faint line. I couldn't believe it! Hoping and praying my boy sway was a success, but either way we are in love with whatever gender baby is in my tummy. And we're waiting till the baby is born (EDD 11/20/17) to find out what it is. We figure at this point, it is what it is! I was just wondering if I can add my sway (leaving the gender out of course) and update it after baby is born? Btw, had to include some 19 week, 4 day photos of baby (12 oz). Obviously no nub shot, lol
Congrats on your bfp. Hope the pregnancy is going well. Definately add your sway, so helpful. Did you sway pink or blue? Sorry it wasn't obvious from your post.Quote:

Huge congrats Ro!
Yes yes please add your sway, we have a form for pregnancies that we don't know gender on.
Even though skulls are not reliable I do think it's boyish! FXFXFX
