How we got our boys!

I've always ate a lot of salty foods as well as chocolate & peanut butter (yum! ;) ). Also had tons of ewcm (it usually lasted like 5+ days - I had GOBS of it for some reason - I'd pass it off to you ladies ttc a boy if I could, lol) and 3 of our boys were conceived by bding on or a day before ovulation except for ds3 who was conceived with a 5 day cutoff (my massive amounts of ewcm helped the little swimmers last that long I guess). I've always been normal weight although have ranged on the low end of normal to the high end of normal for my height. As for dtd, it varied. We went anywhere from every 2-3 days to every 5-8 days.

I've beeen thinking more about my diets with my boys so I wanted to update this:
DS1: We wanted to get pregnant but I wasn't charting or anything. I'm not sure when we got pregnant, for some fluke that pg didn't show up on HPT's (and yes, I took them correctly) only at the dr office when I went to figure why I hadn't had periods in about 2 months. However, we DTD every single day, multiple times a day. I hadn't seen DH in a few months and we were newlyweds. I'd put money on he was conceived in doggy style. I probably did the big O. I had been off BC pills for maybe 1 month.
Did maybe 20 min cardio and 45 min weights at the gym for 6 days a week usually. So more weights than cardio. Can't 100% remember my diet. I know it involved a lot of chicken, chocolate, snacking, and always weight control oatmeal, I think I was eating Luna Bars then too. Pepsi Max Diet. No vitamins. 5'7 around 130-ish, I would fluctuate between 125 and 130-135. DH did not work out during that time he was too busy.
pretty stressed also.
Drank a pretty good amount of alcohol, usually liquor like vodka or Soco.

DS2 - was on BC pills, stopped for 2 weeks as I was having issues to restart a new type but got pg while stopping the pills (DH said he would pull out and DIDN'T -- AHHH!! sooo mad). DTD Mon and Fri the same week. That's the only times we DTD that month. Pretty sure I got pg on that Fri. I did not have big O either time. J&D right after each time as I wasn't expecting him to do that. I was trying to really dig everything out of there with fingers and TP so it was an agressive J&D.
I had just lost all my baby weight. Was getting pretty crazy with weight loss tactics. Did P90X daily with a long walk up tons of hills pushing DS1 maybe 1hr day. 2x week would do 1 hr cardio plus power yoga plus pilates (that's like 4 hours all together - yikes). Was on diet pills can't remember what kind, just trying to see how low I could get. I only got to like 125 lol. Def overdid weights/toning still. Diet Pepsi Max daily still. I can recite my entire diet then it was the same every day. Morning weight control oatmeal, maple and brown sugar. Didn't drink coffee then. Would have a small snack maybe white cheddar rice cake around 10am. noon would have 1 cup V8 butternut squash soup, la tortilla factory high fiber low carb (nasty) wrap with turkey lunch meat, 2 pieces butterball everyday turkey bacon, small amt cheddar cheese and iceburg with side of edamame and a 100 cal choc chip cookie pack. Snack would be the same smoothie every day, frozen strawberries, 1 oz cream cheese, 1/2 c milk, 1/2c cottage cheese blended up. with some snack on the side. Dinner was always chicken. always high sodium and always large portions. dessert was usually something yummy like chocolate baked goods. also ate lots of jello. I would snack literally every hour on something. I am literally always hungry.
LOADED down with stress. I was insanely stressed out.
I was taking cranberry pills as I have lots of UTI's.
DH wasn't working out alot then if I remember correctly.
That friday when I'm pretty sure I got pg we went out in the rain and I remember getting a really good choc donut right before coming home to DTD. Def not a low calorie day lol.
Drank probably 4x month always captain morgan or soco and coke.
Also, DH worked around radiation A LOT with DS2. LARGE majority of people in his job or who work around where he works have girls. When people hear what job he does they are literally shocked we have 2 boys.

I have never ate a hamburger, only ate beef a couple times with DS1 pg when I was craving it. Never eat potatoes either. so you can conceive a boy without eating either. I did eat an abnormally high amt protein when I tracked my food. Before dinner it was already in the 100's. Low fat but prob avg carb. Tons of weights. I'm constantly snacking. I never ate yogurt or milk (aside from that smoothie with DS2). I hate dairy. DS2 I never salted anything but with DS1 I did. Never use butter (except in baked good when I can't sub applesauce), never cook with oil.
Also, had to add, it rains here probably 5days out of the week and was at peak rainy season with DS2 meaning it rained every day so that negative ion from rain swaying girl is crap otherwise everyone here would be female.

Pretty textbook boy swayer here, not trying at all. I'm not surprised I had boys. Hope I helped somebody.

I've always had a very typical boy diet! My favourite foods are potatoes, red meat, tomato based sauces, always lots of added salt, gravy sacues, bananas, breakfast cereal, lots of orange juice, watermelon, chips, french fries etc. etc. as for timing we bd through ov with both ds1 and ds2 and used preseed.

It was a near perfect boy sway and I didn't even realize it.

I'd had a recent miscarriage, so I was quite stressed and trying very hard to get pregnant. I'd lost some weight after my mc, so I was purposely gaining it back when my son was conceived. I drank decaf green tea every day, took robitussin around O, took garlic (I eat lots of garlic in my diet normally), ate salty foods, added flax seeds to everything, drank grapefruit juice like it was going out of style, used pre-seed and menstrual cups, laid in bed after DTD for at least 30 minutes, and BD'd every day around O (twice on O day). I avoided caffeine, but drank lots of decaf coffee and diet sodas. I drank raspberry leaf tea every day from AF to O, and took baby aspirin in the 2ww. I used progesterone cream (which I know supposedly sways girl) after O. I'm a nurse and do shift work, and my work environment is packed with positive ion producing things. DH took fertilaid and zinc, and did everything he thought might help us get pregnant (boxers, avoided hot baths, etc).

Good luck and lots of blue dust!

I have 2 sons, and we didn't plan for either of them. They were both surprises, so I never kept track of when we DTD, if it was close to O, or after (wish I could go back in time and see it so I could do the opposite for TTC a girl!!!)

I ate anything and everything. Loved fast food (burgers/fries/soda). I was 137lbs, 5'4" so I think I was more average weight than I am now. Now I am 120lbs after the boys, so I hope that works in my TTC girl favor.

So I was "heavier", ate loads of sodium rich foods, I remember eating a lot of farina for breakfast with butter and sugar on top. I only drank soy milk, tried to stay away from any dairy, so I was always getting soy alternatives (which meant low calcium). I was a vegetarian. Ate a lot of ramen noodles (high sodium) I remember eating huge portions of cheese filled ravioli.

Hubby ate crappy fast food also (high in sodium) Always wore boxers.

We DTD all the time (Who doesn't when they don't have kids lol)
I always orgasmed. We mostly were in the missionary position and always deep penetration. (Y spermies were practically on top of my cervix guaranteeing that I kept having boys! LOL)

I never took any supplements and was never on any birth control.

With both of my sons, I carried very very low. My sister, who has 2 girls, always carried up high (her stomach held up her boobs lol)

Hmm thats all I can think of. HTH :)

I am swaying pink but.... just looking at the dairy products at the store and I see a lot of sodium, low fat yogurt 1/2 cup is 420mg of sodium. With my boys I had dairy in baked goods, milk in cereal, cheese once in awhile on food, and 2 servings of ice cream everynight... not doing any dairy for a girl sway just calcium pills.

Thank you for sharing guys! I did want to mention that I also carry very very high and have 4 boys - that one is an old wives tale. It's the shape of your body that determines how you carry and not the gender of your baby. I didn't want anyone to read that and panic.

Hi, I also had 2 boys without swaying.
DS1- used cbefm, bd on O day. (hubbys bday weekend so lots of salty cajun food, red meat and beer).
DS2- just got off BC because of side effects. 1st month off thought I was timing things right, first time no protection (thought i was about to start) but looking back at past FF charts I O'd that night. SUPRISE!!!
I had the big-O when concieving both boys. Never really paid attn to EWCM... MUST do that now that we want to concieve a :DD:

oh and my diet consisted of red meats, sweets and salty foods. with DS1 I was on weight watchers when i concieved

After reading so much about the diet, it make so much sense to me, why we had a girl. Now I just have to adjust and chage it up and get a boy!
