Mountain Dew

i know caffine sways boy

I think caffeine remains a mystery. For DH, one shot of caffeine before BD should boos the sperm motility. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...beverages.html

I agree it's far from proven - I'm not sure I believe that one drink an hour before BDing could do a great deal at all. If only it were that easy!

This is copied from an old thread, by Atomic:

Caffeine does speed up the sperm but just because sperm is faster, I'm very far from sure that has been actually proven to translate to more males being conceived (and in fact the opposite may be true) There has been an error - New Scientist Caffeine-mediated changes of sex ratio in Ch... [J Reprod Fertil. 1975] - PubMed - NCBI

ETA: I don't think the first link works anymore!

I think caffeine in men sways pink - too much caffeine lowers sperm count and anything which lowers sperm count sways pink. Atomic has mentioned before that several of her husband's colleagues chug on energy drinks and they all have girls

I don't see that this drink would be any different to any other soda (Coke etc) would it?

Yes, it's here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...gy-drinks.html
I believe all soft drinks are practically the same - empty calories, excessive amount of sugar or aspartame which may be even worse, artificial colors, artifical taste, some caffeine,....

There was a big thread back on IG about Mountain Dew and general conclusion was it seems it sways pink.
There were quite a few examples of its pink powers lol! esp when DH was drinking it on regular basis. The most remarkable example was a couple with 6 daughters, DH was like addicted to Mountain Dew, drank it on daily basis for years.

The reason I'm writing this is bcos I've noticed one of blue swayers' DH drank Mountain Dew hour before attempt, otherwise the sway was totally blue friendly.
So I doubt 1 M. D. could have ruined an excellent sway, just wanted to bring this up.

I agree totally Zivic because any time DH seems to drink excessive amounts of caffeine, the couple seems to have way more daughters.

One Mountain Dew before an attempt can't wreck a sway, it's the guys who guzzle it all day long.

At my husband's work, they are all drinking cases of Mountain Dew and also energy drinks and they have SO MANY girls it's amazing. We are the only ones with boys.

We're doing things a bit different on this site, I hope we can help you in some way!

I know a lady who had 8 daughters and has just had 2 sons in a row!! WITHOUT swaying!!

thats what i meant under my "did i saw pink or blue" thread!!! yea someone gets it.. we have a total of 7 daughters although 2 went to heaven. so 5 at home. dh is addicted to mountain dew. its gross and i hate it. i try try limit him but he sneaks them at work..
here's my questions though... i know caffine sways boy so i let him drink them while we were tcc. but someone in ig told me soft drinks sway girl because some of them lower ph... true of false?

I don't believe caffeine DOES sway blue. I think excessive, long term caffeine use/abuse lowers testosterone, lowers sperm count (both proven) and these things sway a heck of a lot harder than anything having to do with "minerals" ever could.

Soft drinks very well may sway pink because carbonation is acidifying and the sugar in them is not healthy or good for blood sugar levels.

it does boost sperm speed temporarily but how that translates to gender ratio (or if it does) remains to be seen.

The caff I'm talking about is the day in, day out, drinking of large amounts of coffee, pop, energy drinks - those things do seem to sway pink by lowering testosterone and sperm count. With everything, there are studies that show one thing and studies that show another.
