How we got our boys!

[jules]

I swayed for my boys without even realising! I was keen to get pg ASAP so took all the supplements to aid fertility - pregnacare conception which contains L-Arginine, epo and flax seed oil for ewcm, ate a diet high in protein, nutrients, red meat, always ate fortified cereal for breakfast, always snacking, always preferred full fat, full sugar rather than low cal versions - I have quite a high metabolism so I'm not fat amazingly!! Always preferred salty foods too. I had DH on pregnacare conception for men, along with omega 3,6,and 9 oil capsules. Used Preseed to DTD. I have a short LP (9 days) so took supplements to try and help with this - vitex Angus castus, dong quai, b-100 complex, and raspberry leaf tea (which all helped to increase my LP) So it's really not a surprise I got my boys! I only realised that everything it was doing swayed boy since I've been looking into swaying girl for number 3.

I have three boys and for me what did it was having sex right when I ovulated.

I was totally obsessed with TTC for our first- I was also already on supplements because I had wonky long cycles and thought it would take a long time to get pregnant. I charted, took maca root, also vitex (but stopped both in the middle of the cycle as they changed my cycles for the worse).

I ate often and lots of meat, cheese, but also super unhealthy stuff like chips, bacon,etc anything I was hungry for really. I'm naturally thin with a high metabolism but I also am active and love to do weight training as I just think it is the quickest and most efficient way to stay nice and toned. We BD while TTC pretty much every other day and always on O as I can tell very easily when it is happening.

Both boys happened the first month.

First boy was conceived a month after my honeymoon where I pigged out and continued to pig out when I got home. Ate whatever I wanted. Took Fertilaid, Mucinex, lots of BD around O. With my second son DH and I was taking Fertilaid again, I recall I was eating a lot of burritos with salsa around that time. Like I would eat half the jar in one sitting, lol. I was vitamin D deficient so I was taking massive doses of vitamin D. Still pigging out and still had 10 pounds to lose from my first son. I didn't sway for either, in fact I was about to look into a girl sway for my second but we conceived by accident (would not trade either boy for the world, they are my everything). Now looking back it seemed like I was doing classic boy sways without even knowing.

i have 2 boys,cant really remember how i ate with my first son as it was 12 years ago,lol. i know i always had breakfast,and a lot of ready meals,take aways,drank loads as i was only just 18 and out every weekend (before i got pregnant of course)
my my second son i think it was pretty much the same,its only these past few maybe 6 years that i have started cooking properly.Again i always had breakfast.Pretty sure it was the ready meals/frozen food that gave me my boys as there packed with salt.
oh also i took 2 hour dance classes twice a week,so not exercising when we do our sway for a girl this time.

I was eating everything I wished at any time of the day. Lots of pizza, mcdonalds, sweets(chocolate). No vegetables and fruits(I never liked them). Didnt excersise at all! Hated gym! Lots of snaks!
Was sleeping a lot every day. I was in a constantly holiday
Concieved him in beginning of May.
Got pregnant most probably with 4-5 days before O in (women on top position) and orgasm same time with my hubby.

I hope you all get what you dream.
And dont forget....You need to be very patient with boys! :-)
Good luck!

Hi all, I'm a mom of 4 boys - 2 from my previous marriage, and 2 from my current. I can't remember much about my 1st 2 except that I was a sahm, eating whatever, whenever I wanted. I smoked. Didn't drink though. Lots of eggs and dishes with ground beef - weights all the time! Loved working out hard like that. With Ds 2 I was actually my lowest conception weight (which is the typical pink sway advice), but I think I had high levels of testosterone.
Ds 3&4 I was a non smoking, but wine drinking, hard working, highly stressed work environment, had lost 2 babies right after we got married so conception was stressful. I ate VERY healthy - very balanced, maybe a little high in fat, every 2 hrs and again with Ds 4, I had lost a lot of weight (30 pounds) but it was from high intensity interval training - lots of strength and bursts of cardio, for a compact period, again, probably so much testosterone. I also drank a ton of red wine with ds3&4.
As far as timing goes, I tried to away pink shettles style but I had ov early. So I dtd on pos opk (one attempt - total girl sway).
I'm a bit of a mix match story with probably nothing conclusive to share EXCEPT maybe my diet.
I hope you get your boys. Would LOVE to trade off some boy dust for some girl dust ;p

I was taking evening primrose. I hadn't had dairy in about a year was eating tons of meat and barbeque lots of salt seasoning bscon.and banana

Not sure if I have posted in here before but with ds1 and ds2 I dtd on smiley opk and day after whilst also using preseed. Ds3 conceived exactly on ov and most likely stressed to the hilt. Diet wise I actually think my diet has always been more girl friendly with the exception of less coffee and diet soda which I have only recently started enjoying. My ht journeys produced more female than male embryos overall which has given me the confidence that we can produce a female!

Hi All!
I never even knew of gender swaying with my boys so this is what I naturally did:

With both my boys I ate cereal every day for breakfast. I actually ate it for snacks too. Lots of cereal- I love it! Cheerios mostly, and sometimes Lucky Charms
I ate a lot of avocados (at least 1/2 avocado/day). Lots of various fruits and veggies. Dried salted seaweed (It's good! I swear)
Tons of salmon, halibut, mahi mahi, and poultry.
Protein shakes (whey Whole Foods brand) with bananas and peanut butter.
Eggs, fat-free milk, yogurt, and ice cream as a treat.
Processed boxed rice mixes, mac and cheese, white cheddar shells.
Bread-most of it white/processed. With my 2nd little guy I was eating healthier whole grain breads/pasta/etc.
Tons of sushi-this should really be it's own food group
I took a multi-vitamin (Don't remember the brand), and cod liver oil (Nordic Naturals).

I was at the gym all the time before my first doing cardio, classes, and strength training. With my 2nd I worked out but not as much. I was about 5lbs heavier when I got pregnant with him. I took a walk every night after dinner.

Boy #1 was born in Seattle Washington during the fall. We were newlyweds and had sex almost every day. I have no idea when I ovulated.
Boy#2 was born in Fort Worth Texas during the summer. I ovulated day 17, and we had had sex day 14,15,and 17.

Good luck to all you boy-swayers. Sending my blue dust!
