    Confused How bad is coffee when ttc a boy?

    Trying to follow boy diet even though I usually don't eat breakfast during working week.
    Been having toast with vegemite or cereal with full cream milk.
    I have 1-2 instant coffees a day. Sometimes I switch one out for a "proper" coffee.
    Does this really impact chances for a boy? Have always drunk coffee and so far have 2 DD and 1 DS.

    Twice a week I will have a 3pm can of coke as well. Start work early and stare at screen all day. I have been pretty successful in increasing water though and now trying to snack more rather than just eating twice a day.

    Who knew ttc diet was so complicated.

    I'm sure you can still get a boy with coffee, as plenty of women do.

    For me, however, I was a water and green/white tea drinker only when I conceived my boys.

    I did add caffeine to my girl sway though (daily cappuccino and diet soda).

    It is coming into summer here so my go-to is either iced coffee or taro bubble tea.

    Now wondering if I should stop coffee all together. Won't that be pleasant for DH :/

    I think tea is better than coffee and so I would switch one for the other if possible. It's not a dealbreaker if you can't, but it is a pretty easy thing that may help.

    When you have your coke in the afternoon, I'd try to sneak in a bit of protein with it if possible.

    I drink almost a pot of coffee a day + green tea and other teas like chamomile... I know that's wayyyyy too much coffee so I was going to start slowing down now and the month of ttc, stop completely.... Or should I stop the full 6-8 weeks? Thx!

    I have a big vice which thankfully I've cut down since being pregnant and that's coke. I drank too much of it before pregnancy and it's filled with nasties as well as a high caffeine content. I also loved my vanilla lattes (which I have gone off of since being pregnant for some weird reason but I'm not complaining). I also partied somewhat and drank alcohol/smoked cigs around the time of conception. I don't know how much all this influences gender but I'm lucky to have a healthy twin pregnancy (boy/girl).
