How we got our boys 2!!!

[lea]

I have two boys 4 years and 15 months.
when I conceived dh 1 I was doing the typical diet boy. I've always been very thin 49-50 kg. In the morning I drank coffee with 1 cup scallop milk. I was practically all day, a
sack do snack. I love meat, chicken, steaks, ribs, cooked ham, raw ham
and salami. I eat so many potatoes, mashed potatoes and fries. I like salty and tasty foods.
Smoked salmon and tuna, and seasoned cheese. I like chocolate
and sweets. I love sandwiches with slices. I also eat pasta and rice and I always add so much
Parmesan. I also eat eggs.
When I conceived dh2 the diet was still that, maybe
I ate a little less meat. The only difference with dh 2 is that I had lost a lot of weight, about three kilograms before I conceived. I was at my lowest weight. I did snacks all day.
Hope to serve my experience

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

Hi. Reading your post was interesting but doesn't apply to my dh. He doesn't have a huge sex drive and can go 3 days between shaving - we have 2 girls [emoji4]

No, it doesn't. We have stellar results using coffee as a pink sway tactic, anecdotally I have seen predominantely girls born to men who drink a lot of energy drinks, and the "science" that supposedly supported caffeine for swaying blue (that it makes calcium leach from your body) has actually been totally debunked. Caffeine does NOT make calcium leach from your body and this is 100% proven by blood tests - and we don't even know that calcium sways pink anyway. So PLEASE do not start loading up on caffeine for a boy.

Now this doesn't mean you have to give it up totally, because we do not know if it's caffeine or if it is something in coffee/energy drinks. Tea may have some components that sway blue so feel free to drink black/green tea in moderation but at the same time do take more folic acid since tea can make it harder for your body to utilize folic acid.

Atomic,

I recently switched from 1-2 coffees a day to drinking black and green tea, typical one of each a day. I’m taking 400 folic in my multi vit, and then two 800mg of the solgar folate. To equal 2000 total. Should I up that with the tea drinking or no?

this is my observation - many more men with low sex drives with lots of daughters.

No the 2000 is meant to compensate for all the tea! keep doing what you're doing.

Hi everyone i am a mummy to 3 wonderful boys, 6, 4 and 19 Months, i am hoping to sway pink this year for our fourth and final baby.
Anyway after reading about pink and blue diets i am now seeing why i am a mummy to three boys!

With my DS one i ate a very nutrient rich diet and snacked ALOT however i always went without breakfast usually eating around 10.30ish, dranks lots of squash, no tea,coffee or alcohol, i took pregnacare plus the month prior to ttc, we dtd every day after af and laid with a pillow under me to keep my hips elevated.

With DS 2 pretty much the same as DS1

With DS 3 i did think about swaying pink but decided against it and just tried as we did with DS 1 and 2.


Also i never did opks i just dtd pretty much everyday after finishing af.

With all 3 boys i fell pregnant in the first month.

Diet with all 3 was lots of meat and fish (no red) 98% of my evening meals contained meat, lots of vegtables potatoes cheese and eggs, lots of chocolate and sweet things also had the occasional takeaway.

Didnt have milk as i hate it and i dont drink tea so didnt add to that either.

No exercise as such but a fair amount of walking.

I can't remember if I posted on the old thread, so sorry to repeat myself if I have! I have 4 boys and ate a very typical boy diet lol. Red meat, snacking a lot, always had to have breakfast which would be fortified cereal or toast. Meals included meat, veg and a carb or a casserole, stews, soups etc. very nutrient rich. I took prenatals and did moderate exercise. I'm also a stress head and very detail oriented, so if I become fixated on something I obsess over all the tiny details. I also have pcos and am overweight. We would have multiple bd attempts through O. My last 2 boys were conceived with bd 2 days before o, 1 day before o and day of o.
