I found a couple of old MFP entries from the few months before we conceived DS2. It's a very typical "boy diet." I thought I'd post it here in hopes it'll help those ttc'ing blue and are in need of meal ideas. :D
Breakfast: Coffee with 1/2 cup almond milk and a 1/2 cup of oatmeal
Lunch: Turkey and cheddar cheese sandwich w/ tablespoon olive oil mayo and a handful of BBQ potato chips
Dinner: (kind of a weird dinner but boy friendly nonetheless!;)) 1 cup oil popped popcorn, 1/2 cup yogurt with blueberries and raspberries (I ate this a lot), salted pistachios, 2 cups of 2% milk, 1 apple
Totals: 1471 cals, 165g carbs, 48g fat, 53g protein
Breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal, coffee with 1/2 cup almond milk, blueberries, raspberries with low fat yogurt, 1 hard boiled egg
Lunch: 4 oz chicken breast, 1 cup spinach, 2 tbsp parmesan, 2 oz brown rice fettucine pasta
Dinner: Ground beef and bean chili, shredded cheddar, handful of tortilla chips
Snack: handful of almonds
Totals: 1422 cals, 206g carbs, 49g fat, 85(!)g protein
Hope this helps!
Hi everyone I am new on this forum but have stalked it for so long I thought I should finally get involved and contribute :0).
I knew nothing of swaying when I conceived my son, just wanted to get pg and conceived 1st attempt. Dtd 3x in 4 days (Thursday, Saturday, Sunday- all am) and according to u/s conceived on the Tuesday. I had big o each time and propped hips. My diet consisted of porridge with raisins and honey or eggs and bacon sarnies on a weekend. Big salads at lunch of salmon, walnut bread and potato salad or tuna Nicoise with loads of olives / Greek salad with olives and tomatoes - always with wholemeal bread! Dinners were steak and chips, ham,egg and chips, spaghetti Bol or meatballs with garlic bread, lamb chops or klefticowith potatoes, roast dinners with all trimmings, sausages! I loved meat and basically ate same size portions as OH despite being 5.2 and 9st 3lb :0). I also drank 4 cups of tea a day, 2l of water, drank lots of red/white wine and walked 3 miles a day. I hope this helps you boy swayers - I can see now that my body must have been very boy friendly and probably very fertile and healthy! Good luck to everyone conceiving their DG. This is a very stressful journey and I am currently 37 yo and 8+2 hoping for a girl (last child) although will love another boy either way!
Cgsrr, I wanted to answer your question from the other thread here (sorry it was getting a little far afield)
You asked WHY if one attempt sways, is both pink and blue sways with one attempt getting similar results.
It is because the OLD outdated Shettles method for blue required one attempt. So the people who have gotten boys in the "add your sway" boy section, were not ONLY doing one attempt, but were doing that along with many other blue friendly things to sway. The PINK swayers (which btw is a MUCH bigger sample size and the statistics are much more reliable) were doing one attempt along WITH pink diet, etc. YOu simply can't compare numbers across the boards like that. We aren't doing a study here, every single person in those sway stats was doing several things to sway and we are looking at the overall trends and not for "magic bullets".
If you do ONE thing for TTC a girl, stick with that one attempt. Our numbers have done nothing but improve dramatically since we started doing that.
Thanks for taking the time to reply atomic. I'm afraid it's too late for me now and is up to fate! I found the information about one attempt after I had attempted so after having a few tearful moments I just have to wait and see now.
If I could turn back the clock I would definitely do one attempt having seen the stats however I didn't. OH released for 6 days straight and then we bd for 8 days straight with the last one being on the day of the positive opk. I'm pretty sure I ovulated the same day as positive or the following morning.
All attempts were IR, missionary, no big o, at around 11pm at night. I had ewcm but have to hope that fate was on my side. I didn't bother with sudafed or antihistamine as sudafed makes me feel truly dreadful and non drowsy antihistamine makes me feel dreadful the following day! I tried both in previous attempts and threw up after the sudafed and didn't sleep all night! At 37 / 39 we were not willing to abstain and I wanted to be pregnant immediately (January and February were one attempt and 3 attempts respectively with cut off but I ovulated late both times and missed the egg). I was really upset and frustrated at not catching and was definitely more obsessive these first two months. I was also not checking ph as I knew it would become an unhealthy obsession and at the end of the day we are trying to sway the odds but our ultimate goal is pregnancy. I wasn't going to douche, give myself a uti and potentially kill the sperm so figured it wasn't worth the stress.
I lost 12lb over the 3 months and was 8st 7lb when I conceived so hopefully other things helped. I was following the old style IG girl sway I guess, lots of calcium, almonds, cashews, rasberries, broccoli, vegetable stir frys, no red meat in 4 months, chicken, fish or prawns only couple of times a week. Rice cakes, cucumber, cream cheese, cottage cheese and salad and loads of risotto or pasta dishes with mushrooms, leeks, peas and cream fraiche. You can see how different this diet was to my boy diet above :0)! I took 10000mg cranberry tablets, 800mg folic but cut the calcium and magnesium the month I conceived after reading it could go the other way. I was on those supps for 7 months. I also figured I was getting enough in my diet through food. Drinks were peppermint tea, skinny chai tea latte 1x per day with extra cinnamon on top, cranberry, water and wine on a weekend.
I never skipped breakfast - can't do it as I start feeling nauseous however this swapped from a large bowl of porridge with honey and raisins to frozen rasberries, blueberries, fat free organic yogurt and few almonds. I lost weight with this diet even though I was probably eating very healthily given the amount of vegetables I was eating. I also walked 4 miles a day but no other exercise.
Looking back I can see this wasn't a perfect sway but it was different to when I conceived my boy so I'm hoping that may mean something. I am up numerous times per night with my son so not rested at all. I would also add, my oh was between jobs (he has a high powered job normally with many staff) so was relaxed, had time to release regularly and his testosterone was probably lower for this reason (I hope). He told me he was nowhere near as stressed at normal which meant we had the time to bd! He took cranberry, multivitamin, folic, calcium and ate pretty much the same as me but with tons more sweet stuff!
I used lavender everything, aerosol deodorant, conceived in a girl moon, in April on a girl critical day in girl biorhythum for what all that stuff is worth (it was wrong for my son on all counts but my heavy boy diet may override that stuff!)
When we conceived our son we did not bd regularly and he didn't release regularly (1 or 2 x per week). Since January he probably released 5x per week min as I told him to keep a fresh supply going :0).
As I say now I read some of the more modern research on GD I worry about my sway but as my oh says - we're pregnant so we must feel very grateful for that as not everyone falls as quickly and easily at our age. This is a fabulous forum and I wish I had found the modern research before my sway but hey. I will update you all after the scan if anything to continue to help your stats and see what works for others as my sway may be different to what your perfect sway would look like ( especially skipping breakfast and one attempt). I have a 50/50 chance I guess! Best of luck to everyone! X
