How we made girls...by girl moms! (PINK DUST!!!)

[lavenderflame]

I am a mom of 4 girls, how I got my girls is as follows. I am a nurse, but have only been with 3/4. I work days and nights, overtime, I basically never eat let alone pee and when I do eat I binge when I get home. In all seriousness, I've never been a breakfast person, I am just not hungry. I love pasta, I lived on pasta loaded with asiago cheese and butter, this would usually be my lunch. Supper I would generally eat out, pizza, pho, pasta, Wendy's or we would have something at home. We eat a lot of ceaser salad, pasta, bbq. I have always been a carb eater and as a result have always struggled with being overweight. I also eat a lot of yogurt, strawberries, orange juice, sweets (I love to bake), milk especially chocolate and cheese. With all my girls I was extremely stressed dealing with both personal and family tragedies. I realize pop doesn't sway, but we've always been big coke drinkers. My husband's diet is more in tune with the HE diet, however he is a meal skipper as well. We both don't drink and he's a coffee drinker. We also have never dtd frequently (1-2/ month). When we did try for our daughters we dtd the week of ovulation everyday except with the last, we did missionary quick and dirty. My last daughter conceived on ovulation day attempting shettles (timing is nothing) dtd doggy. I have an extremely hard time achieving orgasm, so it's happened 3 times in 10 years. I also don't have a lot of fluids and have always used lube. I will add that both of us over the years have been on antidepressants and my husband has struggled with low testosterone and sex drive. I have known about swaying with two of my daughters, but I didn't want to believe diet had an impact, I see now through friends with all boys and reading these forums that diet really does play a role. It now seems obvious why I had all girls, but I love them to pieces.

Hi, ladies!
I'm fairly new to this site and planning a boy sway for July. I have a 17 yr old boy and a 14 yr old girl from my first marriage and my husband of 8 yrs and I have a sweet baby girl who will be 1 this Saturday. I've just finished reading through this thread after reading the How We Got Our Boys thread. It's amazing how different I was when I had my son than when I had my girls so I thought I'd share my story.
When I conceived my son I was overweight and ate a ton. I can't remember a lot of details but it was definitely high fat and not a nutritious diet at all. We didn't have a lot of money and I remember we ate a lot of cheap boxed stuff... mac-n-cheese, spaghetti (with no meat probably) smoked sausage, hot dogs etc. About a year after I had Colton, I started doing everything in my power to lose weight. I was on a starvation diet (ate almost nothing) and did cardio (turbo taebo, etc) 2 hrs a day, 7 days a week. I lost 25 lbs and along came my daughter Addison. Unfortunately I can't remember details about the conceptions except that we were trying for both. I would think that we tried pretty much the same way for each which is why I now think that diet and exercise and losing/gaining weight is so huge for swaying!

Fast forward to 2014... I'm in the leanest shape of my life. I do an hour of HIIT with weights 5 days a week and I'm on a very strict low carb, raw veggie, high protein diet (eggs, nuts, nut butter and protein powder maybe some chicken or tuna occasionally but not much meat.) Almost no carbs, no sugar, no fruit. Intermittant fasting, eating all my food between 8am and 2pm thus skipping dinner every day. I took raw whole foods vitamins and ate lots of raw veggies but I think my caloric intake was too low. I was always hungry. We decided at the end of August that we wanted to have a baby and I was pregnant the first week of September with our sweet Raegan. We usually BD daily to every other day but I can't remember now how many times we did during that fertile window. I was 37 when I got pregnant and turned 38 two wks before she was born. My DH turned 37 in March and I just turned 39. Hoping I can conceive as quickly this time and I can have a new baby before I turn 40
Hopefully my story will add to what's already clear between the two threads. My girls have different fathers but I truly believe my diet and exercise habits were big sway tactics! I wish you all the best and I hope I'm able to give my husband a son very soon!

Thought I'd add my two pence. For all three of my girls I had recently or was following a vlcd. I've struggled with my weight all my life so I'm on a diet 90% of the time. I was seriously reducing calories but still ensured I was getting all the vits and nutrients as they were in the meal shakes. Along with this I was moderately excercising 6 days a week. Usually brisk walking and rowing machine. My first girl was a clomid/trigger but natural insemination. I had one attempt at trigger but don't think I ovd till 3 days later. My second was natural with no assistance one attempt approx 4/5 days prior to o. My third was a half hearted failed blue sway mostly diet (but not 100% couldnt give up the diet pop/caffine/alcohol)and excercise. No supps/vits and hubby did not do anything to sway at all. He drank and had lots of caffine. She was one attempt at approx o+24. I have trouble with tracking o due to not being some to temp (thyroid ) and I find opk some times variable ranging from 2/3 upto 7 days of positives. I suspect my last daughter might have been closer to o than that though. Probably not usefull but guess I love a very pink friendly life. Dropping all my pink off here in return for blue good luck to all xxxx
