How we got our boys!

[lovemy2blessings]

I never swayed with my 2 boys all I knew is that I wanted to get pregnant on my first tries lol..but here goes mine with both I ate lots of red meat, high sodium intake, lots of bananas, always ate breakfast, bd around O day, had orgasms, layed in bed with legs propped up, (with my DS2 I did Insanity extreme cardio before getting a BFP), DH's diet was pretty much the same.

I have one girl and then two boys. Didn't sway for any but with my boys I was taking Maca root powder in capsules about 5 a day because my cycles had never gotten back to normal after the last pregnancy (my kids are close in age). I always have lots of EWCM and I put salt on everything. I crave salt all the time on foods so maybe that's a boy thing in itself. I never eat breakfast, have coffee instead and definitely gained weight just before falling pregnant each time.

Having 3 boys myself I think I can help here once I haven't got much to say in the pink side Naaahhhh....kidding! Love my , all 3 of them!

DS1- Was only 16 (first boyfriend accident!), pretty stupid and had no idea what I was doing! Love the result though DH's sibblings had 6 kids between them, ALL BOYS! I disappointed the whole family as they thought that little girl was finally coming! I remember having tons of pizza, burgers, coke (full sugar), loads of beans and carbs, not working out much and involved in beauty contests (I could back then lol), so lots of competition.

DS2- Pretty much the same but a bit older, chubbier and no longer fit for beauty pageants . First DH (no longer together) ate tons of meat so I followed his lead. No exercise but busy with first baby. A lot of conflict going around between me and his mum It was also in-between an attempt on the mini-pill which made me sick, I stopped the pill and fell pregnant straight away.

DS3 - new husband, much older (21 year gap from DS2). Eating lots of meat and salt. DH is a gourmet kind of guy and loves cooking, red meat and salty food. We ate healthy and a lot, heavy on carbs and protein, but also lots of veggies, etc. Working in front of a computer all day, no exercise, 10kg overweight, DTD 3 times. The only girl friendly thing I was doing was having diet soda 1x/day, everything else screams BOY!

I know now why I have 3 boys! I am trying to change my ways but I can't bend on the exercise, I hate exercising and have no time for it, I enjoy napping in the afternoon when my son is sleeping, hopefully that won't give me another boy!

Hey ladies!
I am new here, and like to contribute to this thread, because i might have someting useful to tell.. I think that it is useful to this forum to compare stories of people around their attempts, getting pregnant, lifestyle,diet. Especially because of the bcp and diet i will write my story.
Hope you will read it and maybe find it useful.
We will try to have a baby in a few months, and i got interested in this genderswaying.
In 2011, i stopped my bcp, it was Diane 35; very anti-androgen-pill, which i took for about ten years for my bad case of acne.
We were going to try for a baby,and a few months later my acne came bad, just as bad as it was.
I went to a herbal doctor (with medical function and background). I went there to ask whether my acne was the result of a hormonal disbalance or something else. He strongly recommended me the Caveman-diet, aka Paleo.
He explained that carbohyrates,refined sugar and starch (potatoes) make you numb for glucose, and that causes the raise of testosteron and cortisol. (long story short) Therefore a disbalance and ofcourse the negative effects on the ovaries and hormones.
[U]I was VERY strict at following the diet, so was my husband.
I ate nothing but:
vegetables
fruit
nuts
VERY dark chocolate was permitted (more than 70% cacao)
meat, a lot of it (recommended: lean meats like chicken)
eggs
water, herbal tea or very watery juice (occasionely)
So no:
sugar
potatoes
rice
bread
dairy (so nothing, not even butter)
Besides that it is an important part of the diet that you workout and mainly focus on cardio. I cycled for an hour a day (high speed) on an empy stomach.

My husband and i were having regular sex, about every other day.
These are all the most important facts i can remember of that time.
I found out i was pregnant 4 months after stopping my bcp.
Now my lovely babyboy is 9 months old, i am crazy about him!
Maybe i will go for a personal plan to conceive a girl, but i'm not sure yet.
I read a lot, and because of my diet back then the bloodsugar theory is just impossible for me, as i only ate natural sugars.
Ofcourse we ate meat a lot, red meat not that much.
I hope you can say something about this..
ps: i'm not from an english-speaking country so please forgive me my little mistakes

PS: i started to eat vegetarian style, no meat for me ; ) (my diet now is nearly the opposite of the caveman-diet, hope that will work a little bit)

Soo sorry, my cat just walked over the keyboard, lol

[Dragonmother]

I forgot: I took very complete pregnancy vitamins every single day, started 4 months before we conceived.
I had eggs with bacon every day as a breakfast, ate a lot of bananas, dtd very close to O, had orgasms every time.
I took supplements(needed to because of diet):


Magnesium (very high mg,s)
Fish oil capsules
Magnus castus
and one more i don't remember.
I am a natural stressball, a bit jumpy and easily stressed out.

[Dragonmother]

last add: I had to cycle moderately for an hour a day (very strict), and include 10 sprints a session (cycle as fast as you can for 20 seconds) (=exhausting)
On an empy stomach, it is supposed to draw all the sugar out of your system.

[radicalhope]

I don't know if I put this in my post earlier but I drank tons of Dr. Pepper when I conceived my boys. Also drank coffee with sugar and creamer and sweet tea.

I lost weight during this Caveman-diet, and my acne became less severe. It overall lowered my testosterone, but still swayed blue ( was'nt swaying)
I know there are more factors involved but looking back, i covered the most important thing: lowering testosterone ( loosing weight) and daily spinning for an hour. Ofcourse i ate nothing but protein.�� What does this diet do in swaying exactly? I know it is advised for blue.
