How we got our boys 2!!!

[maidentomother]

I should clarify, I think it's the extremes that sway pink. So multiple times a day vs rarely.

Museli, oats, weetbix - love cereal with full fat milk

I agree atomic. When dh & I were first together we as I assume most couples do had sex all the time. By the time we were ready to ttc it was 4.5 yrs later, we were busy with our own business & were just starting to expand & put on more employees. Dh was flat out, early starts, late nights so his sex drive had decreased a lot. Neither of us ate breakfast & he survived on one big meal break a day with having soft drink or an icebreak in between. No surprise we had a girl. Each time we have been ttc dh always seems to be so busy & his sex drive has been a lot less than mine. We could bd a couple of times a week or go a week or 2 without. Trying hard this time to keep bding/releasing regularly & to have at least 3 attempts at +opk, along with the other lifestyle changes I have made. Last cycle we bd 5 days straight in my fertile window (each night from 0-3 through to 0+1). It was the most frequent we have bd for many, many years.

When I got my boys (especially my last boy), this is what my day looked like:

Breakfast - piece of grain toast and a fruit and veg juice (normally it would be apple, cucumber, broccoli, spinach and beetroot)

Lightly snacking til lunch (usually on almonds, cheese, banana)

Lunch - green salad with avocado and tuna with olive oil

Lightly snacking until dinner (dry biscuits with peanut butter, lollies)

Dinner - red meat (usually steak, spag bol, lamb cutlets)

Dessert - Piece of chocolate or lollies

I never drank coffee, I always drank black tea with full cream milk. Drank alcohol only very moderately on the weekends, never during the week.

DH and I DTD every second day once AF was finished. Once I got a positive OPK we DTD 3 nights in a row. So heaps of BD-ing ��

Oh and I might sound crazy but me personal observation:
My husband does have a sex drive, but he is all good if there is a week or two week break- I think men with more sex drive who need sex really frequently are often girl daddy's!
Can you confirm?
You might laugh at me, but I also think men with less bread ( my husband hardly needs to shave) have more boys- I don't know what it could be about but maybe hormones?
There isn't much we can do about that, just wanted to share

I think this is pretty off base. There have been cursory findings that more T = more boys, though obviously not conclusively.

I'd add that, if we really want to go anecdotally, I'm from a family of 3 girls, and I can guarantee that we all came from a very cold, "once in a blue moon" bedroom.

For everyone eating cereal -- what kind of cereal were you eating?

Every kind! Shreddies (I think those are just Canadian maybe? Small squares of interwoven wheat), plain and multigrain Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Raisin Bran, Mini-Wheats, Honey Bunches of Oats, and just plain granola sometimes with yogurt.

Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds is my favorite ever... looking forward to finally letting myself have it!

I have two boys. Both times we were doing the SMEP, every other day from CD8, then three days in a row after getting a + OPK. Both times we used preseed from CD12 onwards.

When DS1 was conceived, I was doing a slow version of C25K (couch to 5k running plan, 3 days a week with incremental increases), repeating every week. I was working quite a high stress, win-or-lose kind of job. I snacked all day, mostly carbs, lived on coffee and green tea, and did my best to cook a healthy balanced meal at night.

When DS2 was conceived, we were a one car family and I spent a lot of time walking around town, but never intentionally exercised. I was breastfeeding, and snacked at every feed because I got hungry at let down.

Not true for us. Mom of four girls. Husband has always had low testosterone and we rarely dtd, he has low libido. He also never needs to shave and is always mistaken for one of his students (teacher).
