How we got our boys!

[mandyp85]

I've just looked and I've found ones with soybean oil and rapeseed oil, having had a quick look on Google rapeseed seems to be the standard in most mayo, full of omega 3!!! No wonder I have mostly boys lol.

Soybean and rapeseed oils actually sway pink generally. Though eggs snd a high fat diet sway blue.

Oh right, it said on the bottles that they were great sources of omega 3! I thought that was the boy stuff?

But that is because they are advertising it as being a healthy option. IT HAS MORE OMEGA 6 THAN OMEGA 3, they are just not mentioning that in their ad campaign. A lie of omission. No one is saying to never eat one drop of OMega 3, just that you should eat more OMega 6 - which you absolutely will be if you eat things containing these oils.

Soybean and canola/rapeseed oil sway pink. I looked on my mayonnaise that I had eaten quite a lot of with DD and it was soybean oil, plus I cooked with canola oil. It is fine, and if you are getting to the point where you are worrying about tiny details like this please take a step back because it is possibly undermining your sway.

Most foods have a combo of both. Most veg. oils have both in them, but have more Omega 6. The clever oil manufacturers choose not to mention that in their ad campaigns because too many Omega 6 may not be ideal for health, but they are in there in higher % than Omega 3. All is well.

I didn't sway for either of my boys, but I thought I'd share my story.
With my oldest, I was in school full time and working mornings as a nanny. I ate like crap- fast food every day, lots of pasta and chicken, almost no veggies. I drank vitamin water and Mountain Dew every day. I occasionally ate breakfast (2-3 times a week, usually crepes with jelly). I was a newlywed(6 weeks at conception) so we were having lots of sex and I was crazy stressed for months before conceiving. I didn't exercise at all. To top it off, thanksgiving, wedding, weeklong cruise for honeymoon, then Christmas all in the 2 months before I conceived- so I was calorie loading a ton. I was sleeping 5-6 hours a night. My dh was working evenings at a desk job. Neither of us took any supplements or vitamins. I had been on birth control pills until the week of our wedding then went off them because they had been recalled. I orgasmed every time.

With our second son I was still nursing #1 (9 months at conception) and still co sleeping. I was working as a cashier and in school full time. I ate a ton but more varied than before and drank lots of water and Mountain Dew. I was making an effort to eat more folic acid because we were going to try for a baby that fall but wasn't taking any supplements. My husband had lost his job that spring, we moved into a new house, and we were planning another cruise. I wasn't on any birth control because I was still nursing. I was swimming and running occasionally but not regularly. We only had sex maybe 2-3 times the whole month I got pregnant. I orgasmed every time, usually more than once.

Hello! Thought I'd add my experiences of how I conceived 3 boys in 3 consecutive pregnancies!!!

So, in true "blue mum" style, I did everything by the book; prenatal vitamins for at least 3 months in advance, I had dh taking zinc as apparently that is meant to aid sperm and general health. I ate well, always had breakfast, plenty of protein, exercised regularly although not to excess, lots of classes but mainly spinning and Pilates. I also dtd regularly in the lead up to ov and stayed laying down with bum on pillow and/or legs in air against the wall for as long as possible. I regularly "O" especially around the time that dh did but frequently multiple times anyway. Basically, unbeknown to me, I did everything that you should to sway blue!!! Lol! I'm also very much as described within the "female dominance" theory; alpha female, I may suffer with a touch of road rage At times �� And have pretty good spacial awareness which makes me pretty good at parking!!! Lol! Again, quite "male" attributes �� My chances of pink are pretty damn slim really!!! Lol. Good luck to you all in getting your blues xx
