Mother of two girls (4 & 2).
With both pregnancies I was eating lots of sweets, I was also trying to lose weight by restricting calories.
I hadn't started to use opk etc, but I had read somewhere that you should withold Dp release for a couple of days prior to sex to ensure there was heaps of sperm to make a boy. Well I got a beautiful daughter so it might be worth trying if you are after a girl :)
I have just read the entire thread - thanks for sharing. I am trying to get a girl this time and it is quite clear to me, that I did NOT eat a girl diet, when I conceived DS!! ;) We were not swaying - had never heard of it at the time. I will go write in the boy section to let you in on my "boy diet secrets" :)
With my DD2 and 3 I was BF and only 6mo postpartum. With DD1 we DTD daily (several times) and I was pretty thin. We also weren't eating a very balanced diet. Coffee for breakfast, sometimes with protein, sometimes not. Sandwiches and chips and fruit for lunch, meat & potatoes & veggie for supper. But probably not eating enough calories to fuel a strenuous work life. Both of us were stressed a lot, particularly DH. I also have low T, very sure about that. I'd like to see what the stats are on babies born close together, if steaks of girls are more common or not.
i would like to know too, going to ttc girl soon, but had my second son recently. heard the theory that babies born close together are mostly same gender though.Quote:

How do you know if you have high or low testosterone? I always suspected mine has been high due to my competitiveness but does body shape have anything to do with it? I am above average height with broad shoulders and back, square jaw and big hands and feet. How do you know what your PH is? Do you just pee on a strip?
This a great thread! Thank you everyone for posting...I'm learning a lot!
That's not true!! :)Quote:

Hi Ladies!! Feel free to have every speck of my pink dust!! DD#1 I didn't know about swaying but unintentionally did almost a perfect PINK sway. WE DTD everyday for about 10 days before O and around O.Drank lots of cranberry juice, i was on a low cal diet, ate lots of fat free dairy-mozz sticks,yogurt.had a vodka drink almost everynight after work (high stress job).I ate lots of strawberries, raspberries, turkey.Brisk walk almost every day.DH was mountain biking a lot at the time, we had no kids so we actually had free time!! he wore these really tight spandex biking shorts which I think helped.I took Femaprin which is vitex & b6. I took this because I get chronic ovarian cysts and it prevented the cysts and kept my cycle normal.Definitely took Baby Aspirin. We also used preseed.The first month I used it we got pg.Hope this helps & thank you all for posting your "boy making recipes"
