How we got our boys!

I never planned any of my boys...with my first son I was pretty skinny when he was conceived...I lived on cereal and 2% milk...I hated skipping breakfast and had three meals a day plus snacks. My first two boys are 17 months apart so again no planning with ds 2.I was under a bit more stress when I conceived my second son. Still same eating patterns. With my third I had just found the ig site and was in the beginning stages of planning ttc a girl when I became pregnant with him...we had just moved back to Cali so months before his conception I was in the gym at least 5 days a week doing mainly weights and taking supplements for weight loss along with whey protein and some creatine. My diet changed to include more veggies and fish and chicken.

Good luck to you ladies and ALL of my blue dust to you!!

Just was looking at my old charts and I had noted the supps I was taking that swayed for a boy for DS2 and I didn't even know it. Was just trying to increase fertility. Was just starting to research a girl sway and conceived by accident. I hate saying "accident" because he is one of the best things that has ever happened to us! :)

Prenatal, vitamin D (large dosage), Fetilaid, DIM, green tea, B-6 and EPO.

Great

I have two boys and now see that I had a pretty typical boy friendly lifestyle. Cereal for breakfast. Three balanced meals a day plus snacks in between. Lots of fruit, veg, meat and I LOVE carbs. I exercised moderately and always did weights. First son was conceived during a holiday where we DTD daily and son no2 was conceived soon after my period Finished and we only DTD once. Both times I had been off the contraceptive pill for many months and my PCOS acne was bad (high testosterone) I wish I had of found this site long ago. Here's hoping for a pink no.3 :DD:

I agree I wish there was a better word we could use than "sway failed" and "opposite" and "accident" becasue all of our "not quite successful sways" LOL are really great kids and it feels sucky to use negative terminology.

I have always been a grazer. I would eat breakfast, 2 hours later have a snack, 2 hours later have lunch, then another snack, then dinner, and probably a snack before bed! My biggest downfall has always been chips. I would eat a snack sized bag of chips a day.. sometimes even a full sized bag. Doritos or potato chips.

I also was eating nuts or meat at all 3 meals, and sometimes nuts as a snack. (Protein heavy diet)- Which is actually funny to me because I was vegetarian before meeting my husband, and he turned me into a meat eater. Now here I am on the LE diet, avoiding meat for a pink sway.

Also I was not working out, or losing weight before getting pregnant with any of them. In fact right before getting pregnant with my 3rd son, I actually put on a couple of pounds. And they were all (TMI) conceived in missionary position

Hope that helps! Good luck! I hope you all get your blue bundles!

so many of us boy moms "eat like hobbits" - breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, lunch, tea, dinner, and supper and many of us also tack on bedtime and even midnight snack. :)

I've never swayed for my boys but I have three and knowing what I do now I can see why I have boys. I always have a high meat high protein diet, I'm huge into weight lifting and fitness in general, I've Always had ewcm, low dairy high caffeine diet soda ( I would drink at least six diet mt dew a day plus coffee) I would take a fitness multi vitamin plus protein powder. We dtd often the whole month and I always just went to bed after. I hoped for a girl last time but didn't know about swaying I wish I would have tried!

I don't think caffeine sways blue at all and very likely sways pink. It's just that your body was able to get boys despite that because you had so much more going on.

I have 2 boys and didn't even realize how boy friendly my life was. I always ate breakfast (cereal, toast and peanut butter). I was a HUGE milk drinker (like 1 full bag a day out of the 3 bags that you buy. At least a litre a day). I was also a big meat eater (lots of chicken, pork, fish and sometimes red meat). Big egg eater too. Ate 3 meals a day and snacked all day long. I was never much into exercise though, but clearly my diet was so boy friendly I didn't need the weigh lifting or strength training. Never was one for caffeine either.

Sending all my blue dust your way ladies.
