How we got our boys!

[ivy100]

Hi I already have a boy and am swaying for a girl next.
I thought i would add what I was doing whilst i conceived my boy just in case it helps anyone swaying blue.

I was working as a gardener/tree planter and it was very hard work, i had muscles on my muscles and was very strong and fit.
I weighed 50 kilos.

I am a vegetarian and my diet consisted of :
Cereals for breakfast
Snacks were fruit (lots of bananas) or muesli bars
Lunch was salad rolls or vegie pasties
Dinners were pasta or rice dishes, meat alternatives such vegetarian mince and lentil burgers ( things that are packed with extra protien) and Tofu.
I ate soy yogurt too.
I ate lots of salty foods.
I drank 2-3 cups of coffee a day with 2 sugars in each.

I ate a fair amount of carbs but didnt stack on the weight as i was working hard although when i stopped work at 7 months pregnant my body went beserk and i stacked on tons of weight from 50 kilos to 70 kilos.
I am back to 54 kilos now.

I was taking blackmores pregancy vitamins leading up to conception as well as extra iron in the form of a seaweed drink (spirulina)

I was smoking and drank a bit of alcohol on weekends before conception.
I was very stressed due to other family issues at the time.

My partner has 4 boys all up ( 3 to a previous relationship)
He was a big meat eater ate fairly healthy though and has always done some form of weight lifting excersise.
He was taking mens multi vitamin at the time of conception of our boy.
He ate lots of salt and far too much coffee ( like 8-10 cups a day)

Hope that might help someone swaying a boy.

Hi there I have two boys,
DS1- overweight, exercised rarely, 3 meals a day with LOTS of snacking inbetween, took prenatals and DH took menevit. Took 13mths to conceive.
DS2- found out I had PCOS, hadn't lost or gained weight, 3 large meals and grazed throughout the day, had a tubal flush out and was on conceived first month after and on 100mg of clomid.
Good luck to you all

i have two boys.

DS1 - no swaying. bd on ovulated day
DS2 - failed shettles method with 2days cutoff.
Then i realised timing is minor factor of swaying.

I eat breakfast everyday. Had meesiam, fried meehood and a cup of black coffee for breakfast.

For lunch and dinner, i ate anything that can fill my tummy. Mainly noodles lover. And realised my meals are high salt and spicy content. Less fruits and milk intake.

Snack potatoe chips daily and supper occasionally

hardly execised.
Though weight never increased, neither it drop too.

now im looking at swaying pink methods and realised eating breakfast and snacks daily are the main reasons of my ds2 arrival.

hope these info help those who are swaying blue. Good luck!

Never skip breakfast, LOVE food and try to eat healthy-oats with water for breakfast, lunch tuna/crackers/salad, dinner meat/salad or spaghetti bog/stew/curry etc though homemade no sauces from jars, snacks fruit/chocolate, drinks water/herbal tea/some coffee. HUGE SALT LOVER- will salt main meals minimum 3 times. Next to no dairy-yuck! I am in low end of healthy BMI- never struggled with weight gain despite the large amounts I eat! Exercise only occasionally. Multivitamin user. LOTS OF EWCM minimum 7 days and need panty liner. Bding only if I'm in mood, O yes otherwise I wouldn't bd! Personality: control freak, dominate, very assertive. Boys conceived bding every second day just around o, once 5 days before o, o+12!

I have 5 boys and definitely believe that diet has played a big part. I've always loved red meat, I eat it almost every day (so bad!). Lots of steak and burgers, bacon, fast food. I've always tried to avoid carbs but slip up often (which is why I'm not as thin as I'd like to be). I also drink a lot of caffeine. Coffee and until recently regular soda (just switched to diet soda and CL a couple months ago). I never drink milk or eat cereal. Don't eat a lot of carbs or sweets, at least I try not to. When I do eat sweets it's chocolate. I love vegetables and salad, but not fruit. When I drink alcohol it's beer. I don't exercise much at all, though I'm trying to change that.

I always say I'd rather have 10 boys than give up my steak, coffee, and beer...but I think if we ttc again I'll give it a serious sway.

you don't need to give up coffee and beer to TTC pink. Whatever was giving you sons, it wasn't those two things and we are getting great results using them as pink sway tactics.

Hi girls moms out there
I hope you get the little boys you long for! I am longing for a girl and I would love to provide you with some info to - maybe - help you get your boys.
When I conceived my DS (who is now 3) I lived an extremely boy friendly lifestyle without knowing it.

I kept my blood sugar stable all the time by eating regularly and by not eating a lot of sugar. I was almost never hungry as I would snack to prevent low blood sugar. I almost never had alcohol. I was not big on meat, though, and almost exclusively had chicken and minced meat. Oh, and lots and lots of eggs

For breakfast I had oatmeal with milk, raisins and almonds or omelet with rye bread and sometimes tomatoes or bell peppers.
I would have a midmorning snack - I honestly don't remember what, but a good guess would be swedish crisp bread (the healthy type) or a multigrain roll and a banana.
For lunch ryebread with some sort of topping like tuna fish or sliced ham. And some vegetables. Or warm reheated left overs from last night.
Afternoon: Again a healthy snack.
Dinner: pasta, rice or potatoes with vegetables or meat sauce.

And my only vice was crisps and salted popcorn!

Generally I really tried to be healthy: Only cooked with premium olive oil, only fresh produce, no processed foods, no burgers, fries or the likes. I would never ever use artificial sweetener. Would snack on nuts and fruit and almost never ate sweets. If I had cake it would be my home baked chocolate cake. I had very little dairy as I didn't stomach it well.

I was a BMI of approx 22 and worked out every second day with light weight lifting. I had a slim, toned body with female curves. My main means of transportation was my bike and I biked 5-8 km /day.

I had a really competitive job and had bad relations to my boss and my several of my colleagues so I felt quite stressed out and would easily get angry with people.
I also took prenatals for 6 months prior to BFP.
DS was conceived in full moon - 6 weeks after a m/c. I layed with my hips propped up for 15 min.

Lastely I want to add that it really is possible to change ones diet and lifestyle and have ones DG: I have been TTC pink for a year now and have lost weight down to BMI 19.5, never snack, I have terrible pink eating habits (not really habits - I'm finding it hard), have stopped working out and have stopped trying to plan everything and worry about everything. And I got pregnant with a girl in august 2013 (we unfortunately had to terminate the pregnancy as the fetus had a serious chromosome disorder). So it really is possible. I am now hoping to get a BFP soon with another pink bean. This time a healthy one so that we can add a little girl to our family.

Best of luck to you all!
