why do vegetarians have more girls???

[zanacal]

I am one of 2 girls and I can't imagine my mum has had high testosterone at any point in her life, it's just not her personality. Funnily enough, everybody says my personality is more like my dad's!

Spidy, are both you & your DH vegetarians?

No we both both eat alot of lean chicken, lamb and sea food. Oh and eggs at least 2 times/week. We also love drinking wine, easily polish of a bottle with dinner most night and then we eat out every weekend so alot of rich food and variety.
Growing up me and DH only ate meat once a week (we have similar backgrounds), otherwise it was the same types of food every day. veg and carbs. White rice was a staple.

My donor is a vegetarian and I think that contributed to me having a girl.

Oh Kris, I just read this. I hope you're ok. I'm actually really excited for you but I just hope you're doing well.

I'm just doing a friendly bump to this thread b/c I just started one about Vegans having more boys, based on absolutely no scientific evidence, just observation in the public eye. I find this absolutely fascinating b/c it goes against the whole theory of eating boy diet foods. HOWEVER it does compliment the alkaline diet.

All of the vegeterians I know IRL have boys. So I've been doing more research on it b/c it's making me wish in many ways when I swayed with for a boy with DD2, that I had just done the alkaline diet vs the boy diet.

Oh yeah I'm doing fine now. I think I'm over the shock and have accepted I'm having a girl. I packed away all my boys clothing and bought some more girl stuff so that helped. Sometimes I still call her by my boy name, just habit I guess. So now it's just figuring out a girls names I like. My partner still wants to try so who knows maybe she'll have us a boy

If you did the traditional boy diet (with all the salt, no calcium, Rice Krispies with non-dairy creamer for breakfast) I personally believe it's a miracle anyone conceives a boy with that. Not what I advise at all.

It's not the alkalinity that matters though, it's the overall quality of nutrients in your diet, protein, healthy fat, caloric intake, quantity of your CM...pH is very far down the list of things that make a difference. Don't hang your hat on pH because it is a tiny drop in an ocean of things that sway.

I'm working on a diet plan and cookbook for vegetarians who want to sway blue. Hope you stick with us because you may find the advice on other sites is not the same as on this site.

Thanks Atomic!

I really wish I had found your blog before I swayed with my 2nd. I remember I found your Trvers Willard Hypothesis blog post AFTER I had DD2. And I remember reading it late at night going oh dear God.

That other diet, ruined me. I remember sitting down thinking if I just add salt, it will help. Instead I felt like death and my body was screaming that it felt like crap. And that little voice in my head was saying, if you feel like crap, how is it that you're creating the best environment for a boy sperm to surivive?
