    I should clarify, I think it's the extremes that sway pink. So multiple times a day vs rarely.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Dh was flat out, early starts, late nights so his sex drive had decreased a lot. Neither of us ate breakfast & he survived on one big meal break a day with having soft drink or an icebreak in between. No surprise we had a girl. Each time we have been ttc dh always seems to be so busy & his sex drive has been a lot less than mine. We could bd a couple of times a week or go a week or 2 without. Trying hard this time to keep bding/releasing regularly & to have at least 3 attempts at +opk, along with the other lifestyle changes I have made. Last cycle we bd 5 days straight in my fertile window (each night from 0-3 through to 0+1). It was the most frequent we have bd for many, many years.

    When I got my boys (especially my last boy), this is what my day looked like:

    Breakfast - piece of grain toast and a fruit and veg juice (normally it would be apple, cucumber, broccoli, spinach and beetroot)

    Lightly snacking til lunch (usually on almonds, cheese, banana)

    Lunch - green salad with avocado and tuna with olive oil

    Lightly snacking until dinner (dry biscuits with peanut butter, lollies)

    Dinner - red meat (usually steak, spag bol, lamb cutlets)

    Dessert - Piece of chocolate or lollies

    I never drank coffee, I always drank black tea with full cream milk. Drank alcohol only very moderately on the weekends, never during the week.

    DH and I DTD every second day once AF was finished. Once I got a positive OPK we DTD 3 nights in a row. So heaps of BD-ing ��

    There isn't much we can do about that, just wanted to share
    I think this is pretty off base. There have been cursory findings that more T = more boys, though obviously not conclusively.

    I'd add that, if we really want to go anecdotally, I'm from a family of 3 girls, and I can guarantee that we all came from a very cold, "once in a blue moon" bedroom.

    Every kind! Shreddies (I think those are just Canadian maybe? Small squares of interwoven wheat), plain and multigrain Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Raisin Bran, Mini-Wheats, Honey Bunches of Oats, and just plain granola sometimes with yogurt.

    Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds is my favorite ever... looking forward to finally letting myself have it!

    I have two boys. Both times we were doing the SMEP, every other day from CD8, then three days in a row after getting a + OPK. Both times we used preseed from CD12 onwards.

    When DS1 was conceived, I was doing a slow version of C25K (couch to 5k running plan, 3 days a week with incremental increases), repeating every week. I was working quite a high stress, win-or-lose kind of job. I snacked all day, mostly carbs, lived on coffee and green tea, and did my best to cook a healthy balanced meal at night.

    When DS2 was conceived, we were a one car family and I spent a lot of time walking around town, but never intentionally exercised. I was breastfeeding, and snacked at every feed because I got hungry at let down.

    Not true for us. Mom of four girls. Husband has always had low testosterone and we rarely dtd, he has low libido. He also never needs to shave and is always mistaken for one of his students (teacher).
