caffeine?

When we conceived our boys both hubby and I were big coffee drinkers (hubby especially) so we factored this into our sway this time round and completely cut it out.....will know the gender of this bub tomorrow to see if it worked :)

I'm not necessarily of the mindset that I need to do EVERYTHING completely opposite from when I conceived my DS to have a successful sway. I did consume caffeine when we conceived my DS, but I do think caffeine in some small way contributes to declining maternal condition so I will continue consuming it with my pink sway. I love my caffeine (and hate giving it up during pregnancy!) so I would hate to give it up a few months prior to pregnancy unless there is good compelling evidence that it will help my sway in some significant way.

Thank you everyone SO much for all your responses! Beachbubs I can't wait to hear your news!!!!! Fx

Please bump this, I'm on kindle and can't type easily.

Short reply, caffeine swaying blue has been debunked even in the mineral diet, I don't know why they keep it in the mix because the science was totally wrong and has been disproved.

I conceived my 4DS's drinking plenty of Diet Pepsis and coffee with cream and sugar. Not really watching my diet. My only DS I conceived was when I cut this stuff out. I mainly drank Sobe lean mixed with water and ate a lot less. I believe I drank alcohol on O day.

I have conceived two boys staying away from caffeine. I never drink soda or coffee, just very rarely I will have some tea or dark chocolate (1-2 a month if that). I won't be adding it to my girl sway as I hate soda/coffee.

The mineral diets had it as a no-no because it supposedly caused "calcium to leach from your body" but that has been 110% debunked and it is wrong, wrong, wrong info proven wrong beyond a shadow of doubt. I think they should drop it themselves but they don't for whatever reason.

I do not even think calcium DOES sway pink, so it's totally irrelevant to me anyway and in fact there is a lot of info that indicates it may even sway the opposite direction by suppressing fertility overall. Now, some people are just uberfertile and able to shake off even pretty high caff intake, but on the whole I think it is neutral in mod/no intake and pink in higher ones.

This also was supported by what I witnessed on IG, when it made NO SENSE to me because all the caff. junkies were swaying blue!! It was one of the first things that I noticed did not add up with what they were saying. My mom, stepmom, and MIL all drink tons of coffee (and I'm talking POTS plural every day) and they have mostly girls.

And about doing the opposite, you DO NOT have to do the opposite of everything, and nor should you. NONE of us got a boy from doing EVERYTHING that sways blue, and it's just silly to do things that may sway blue just because they were the opposite of what you did before. sometimes you get a kid of a particular gender not because of the stuff you were doing, but in spite of it.
