Can somebody tell the best cereal to have while ttc boy

[Flava]

I had oatmeal with cashews, raisins and coffemate every morning for eight months b4 swaying. This is of topic but my dh developed a love for oatmeal in the past three years, he eats it at least 2x daily sometimes 3x, and i noticed his ph was always 9+ everytime i tested. I don't know if it had anything with his obsession with oatmeal but the tech told me 95% boy at my ultrasound. Another significant change from when we had d girls was that he quit drinking soda and eating sugar.

He eats the oatmeal with milk? Hmm I have oatmeal and we almost never eat it. But now I think I will cook some lol
Also we where HUUUUUUUGE diet pepsi drinkers and we quit that for like 3 weeks now and eat almost no sugar. HTH us too!

I did the same for a long time and got DD4...I don't really like cereal so maybe I just eat bagel eggs ect. anyway it didn't helped me before.

I don't like any cereal at all. I tried eating it with my DS sway, but I coudn't eat..I just eat eggs etc.

Flava, My DH and I are both big Pepsi drinkers!!! and it is so hard to quit. I don't worry much about him he can have 2-3 can a week, but for me its no no. (trying).

lol same here Z! But oatmeal is ok and I like grits ( not the one we can get here I buy this very fine grits from the European store here) and we eat it sweet and not salty or with cheese and so on...

I make mine with water but add a splash of milk on it to eat. I've also been adding raisins/sultanas to it instead of sugar to sweeten they are a great source of potassium

I just added it to the "Favorite foods for TTC boy" thread, but quinoa might be a great add for a breakfast! The first time I ever made it was actually a breakfast version ... cooked it in OJ, threw in raisins and almonds, and topped with a bit of milk. It has 470 mg potassium in a serving, 12g protein and 6g fiber. It does have 4% DV calcium if you're watching that intake.

Iammaryam was that your breakfast DURING swaying months, or only before you actually started swaying? Sorry if I'm being dense. I'm pretty sure you mean you didn't eat it for your sway. But it sounds like it would be a good sway breakfast is why I'm confused! Congrats on that baby boy!!!

Flava I can't do sweet grits! I grew up with them salty ... as a kid they were always cheese and we had them with shrimp or steak! So to me grits with sugar just seems like crazy talk!

what is oatmeal? Is it the same as what us Australians call "porridge or rolled oats/ 2 min oats?"

Thanks hun, before swaying I used to skip breakfast altogether, grew up that way. The two difficult things abt swaying 4 me was eating brkfst and all that salt, d result, I gained 30 pounds even b4 i got a bfp. I continued brkfast until bfp n even now though eat variety now.
