How we got our boys!

[Deux Bleus]

I didn't sway with either of my DS's.

First DS was def conceived on O day. DH & I DTD first time for the month on O day and I conceived.

DS2 was a surprise - not sure exactly when I was going to O but again, we only DTD once that month and it was def either the day or day before I was to O. (DH worked away from home that's why there wasn't much BD'g going on).

My diet was full of carbs, salt, sweets, caffeine. I did eat 'healthy' foods as in veggies/fruit with every meal but it did also consist of all the other baddies.
DH drinks LOADS of coffee - I won't even write how much as it's ridiculous and he showers in cold water. He never has hot showers, ever!!

After DTD, I layed there for a little while (not intentionally), approx 5m before going to the toilet to dump. Sorry, TMI.

Good luck for your blue bundles.

I didn't know about swaying with my son... we did everything we could to improve our chances of conception, which seems to mostly sway blue!

But I liked to have salty chips (fries) with baked beans for my lunch when I was hungry at work, really enjoy my salty roast potatoes with my Sunday lunch. I also snacked a lot while at work too.

I eat a fair bit of meat, and probably have 2 meals made from minced beef a week such as spag bol/lasagne/chilli/meatballs and would have meat of some sort with every main meal, took multivitamins and omega 3 supps to boost EWCM and my fertility. I also made sure I always had my 5 a day and generally healthy diet (with the exception of eating a lot of chocolate). I ate tomatoes almost every day as well and always had breakfast, too.

I always had a big O after DTD because I knew that would improve my conception chances and lay there for 30mins (or fell asleep) with bum raised.

I was starting my sway when I conceived DS, I felt like I was mainly too acidic so I started the baking soda drink twice a day for 2 months before anything else, because my diet has always been pretty boy heavy in my opinion, I was waiting on OPKs to come when I fell pregnant, and from my dates it looks like I conceived by DTD 5 days before O

Oh and I'll add that I would drink coke, iced tea, and my boy lemonade which was lemon juice+water+truvia sweetener it's supposed be really alkalyzingonce in the body and it doesn't have a nasty after taste or anything

I recently had a little boy and pretty much ate everything ... coffee , and toast for breakfast plus fruit for morning tea , ham salad sandwich for lunch usually steak and veggies for dinner ... I always had a glass of wine with dinner ... and not much dairy except in my coffee and I sometimes has a yoghurt in the morning . I was also taking multivitamins

Thank you for sharing your experience. It gives me hope. I'm trying to do the boy diet but sometimes I cheat. So when I read your experience, it feels great! Thanks.

I guess I also swayed without even realizing it :P. I was deinitely gaining weight when i conceived my son. I was eating high fat everything and was not watching sodium at all (I never have). I love ketchup and sauces of any kind. I don't shake salt on any of my food but now that I am swaying for a girl I see that its in almost everything that i ate. Was a big banana and cereal eater and never drank crystal light or aspertame of any kind. I actually worked hard to avoid it. Drank a lot of orange juice, tomato juice and eat sweet potatoes at least 3 times a week. Ate breakfast every morning and hardly any dairy as I am lactose intollerant. Love, love , love sugar and baked goods so ate this all the time. Not a big diet pop drinker. Didn't eat out much as I love to cook. Had lots of EWCM and BD'ed every other day and right through O. Hope this helps!

MommyD have a question for you, my sister is pregnant with her 3rd she has had no nausea so she is guessing that its going to be a boy.

Did you get nausea with any of your boys?
