Oh really? I thought the sugar was BAD for blue? I drank it before both of my DDs as well. It's almost time for my attempt (COUNTDOWN: 5 DAYS!!!) so I guess I'll just stick with the lemon water The water helps my cm, right? I REALLY need help in that department lol! Hopefully everything I'm doing will help with that.

You just nailed my diet on the head (prior to trying to sway blue) and I have three little girls!!! Plus I ate probably 2-3 times the recommended amount of calcium daily. Thanks for sharing all of your awesome knowledge with us on here Atomic Sagebrush! I really appreciate it!
As for foods I miss... real milk (I am a cereal junkie... 2 or more bowls a day with lots of milk) and pizza. I'm still having the cereal just now I'm using the unenriched rice milk which doesn't compare at all. And of course it's hot weather right now where I live and my kids want ice cream all the time. I'm not a huge ice cream fan, but it is nice to splurge every once in awhile in the summer. Oh well. It's for a limited time only!

Yeah, I can't do artificial sweeteners. Just don't taste right to me. And I don't like green tea. We are officially at our attempt now. Did O-2 last night (hopefully unless O shows up today/tomorrow-hoping it shows on Friday). Plus for me, taking out caffeine (sweet tea & Pepsi) and sugar is a complete 180 from what I did when ttc my girls. So I hope that's a HUGE benefit for me to get my boy!

Sugar is ok if you eat it along with protein. The protein keeps your blood sugar from rising high and then crashing. In fact, protein + carbs (of course, sugar is a carb) = boys.
If it makes you feel better to stick with lemon water that's fine, just letting you know.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

You may want to read the following essay I wrote.
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...-CONTROVERSIAL
I am NOT at all convinced that avoiding calcium is in any way necessary or desirable for TTC a boy. I have always eaten tons of calcium and I have 4 boys, the Oxford study found higher intake of calcium in moms with boys, but it is much more than that (as you can see from my essay). I would MUCH rather you continued eating that cereal with full fat dairy, or almond milk, or coconut milk, than that unenriched rice milk. Rice milk has barely any protein and so cereal with rice milk is just a bunch of carbs that causes your blood sugar to rise quick and then plummet.
Whatever you do, be SURE that you eat some protein with that cereal. Even if you decide not to do dairy, eat some nuts or something to mitigate the blood sugar roller coaster.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Heya, thanks for this - just wanting to know about Ubiquinol now (also asked on email, sorry!!). I just dropped coq10 to take this instead, is that ok? Up DH’s amount and mine or stick with what...
