caffeine?

Hi! I was wondering why in the "old ways" of swaying it was a huge no no to drink caffeine? I remember when I started researching two years ago that I would need to stop drinking it. Fast forward now I see the ladies drinking it like crazy =) and this is how I have always been..both boys I drank TONS of coffee, diet coke, tea, etc. I guess I'm just looking for thoughts on the subject bc I am a kitchen sink kind of a swayer hahaha I want to do it all and do the opposite of when I conceived my boys. Are you ladies that have boys and always drank tons of caffeine going to continue drinking it for you sway???

I drank lots when I conceived my boys. For health reasons not sway reasons I've limited myself anyway so if we did sway I would be drinking less of it. I think many ladies are using coffee as a meal replacement to get through to lunch? Could be wrong! I don't know where atomic stands on caffeine and diet coke though tbh xx

Thank you for your response :-) I know she is fine with caffeine in any form..coffee, diet coke etc. I was just curious why it used to be so frowned upon before. Still deciding if I will give it up in my sway..which begins Monday!! :-)

Hi,
From what I have read here you should limit your self to one cup. However if you concieved drinking tons of coffee i doubt it will make any difference now. I did not drink any coffee what so ever with my 3 dd's and now that i am swaying blue i cant get enough of it and from what i have read coffee is bad for blue swayers :(. With my dd"s i drank tons of caffeineited soda. Good luck and hope you have a successful pink sway ;)

Thank you!!
Oh really..I didn't know coffee was bad for blue swayers?

I was always a tea drinker when I conceived my boys. I was drinking either white or green tea daily which is shown to increase fertility and therefore sway boy.

Atomic says lots of caffeine can decrease maternal and paternal condition and therefore sway girl. DH has recently been drinking about a pot of coffee a day on his own. He's a lawyer and works like 20 hours a day which is why. It's not sway related. I've been drinking a double shot of espresso every day and the only tea I drink now is peppermint tea.

Ahhhh...I see...I didn't know it decreased maternal condition!!! Interesting

When I conceived my 3 boys coffee is all I drank nothing else what so ever.
Idk the answer to your question but it's a interesting topic.

Here is a link to Atomic's essay on le diet and the caffeine part is there :)

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.
