This is a great thread (and the one about "how we got our girls!")!!
For me, first son was probably pretty textbook boy sway! I conceived him 9 months after my wedding and while I had lost a lot of weight prior to my wedding, I gained about 10-15 pounds back from the wedding to when I got pregnant (oops!). I ate breakfast everyday - usually cereal! I was obsessed with cereal at the time! I also ate a lot of salads, veggies, healthy foods in addition to consuming a lot calories. So high calorie, high nutrient diet! I was taking prenatal vitamins and we used "Pre seed". Two attempts - day before & day of ovulation.
Second son I was up 10 pounds from when I conceived my first due to not losing the baby weight. Again high calorie diet, lots of dairy plus I was taking calcium & magnesium supplements (in attempts to sway girl!). Also, we had just completed a cross country move just a few weeks before getting pregnant so my stress levels were high. DTD several days in a row leading up to ovulation, including day before ovulation.
Good luck in your boy sways! Little boys are CRAZY but a lot of fun!2013 2015

Hey guys!
So I've been doing a bit of reading here again. I'm TTC pink, and originally was skimming over the "How we got our girls" threads, which brought me here. I have a son who seems to be the result of a pretty textbook unintentional boy sway. I thought I'd share for you guys!
My son was a surprise so I was not swaying let alone even trying to conceive. I was at a very healthy point in my life. I have always been pretty healthy, and I like taking care of my body. It's kind of a first priority. SO, I was getting ample sleep. My husband and I had just begun a moderate exercise routine including 30 minute cardio interval training, and low weight training. We would do this together about 5-6 days a week. I was taking a B complex vitamin and a probiotic supplement religiously. No soda, other than Gatorade after work outs. Lots of water. Every single morning I would start my day with a cup of green jasmine tea or lavender earl grey tea--both sweetened with sugar in the raw. My breakfast was almost always some type of bread with an over medium organic egg, with soy bacon. I would consume something almost immediately upon waking, as I did not like to feel the effects of my blood sugar being low. I snacked throughout the day because of this reason as well. We are only nutrient dense vegetables. I remember having a mixed greens salad daily with loads of veggies and avocado. I used extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar as my dressing. I ate pickles like they were going out of style. I would always treat myself to froyo! Ate healthy fatty fish about twice a week. Chicken, tofu, and cheesy veggie pasta was on the menu a lot too! I never let myself get very hungry. I was a typical grazer. On the day my son was conceived, I remember saying that we should be careful because I thought I was ovulating. I had ample amounts of EWCM. All in all, I was very healthy, had good blood sugar levels, and was moderately exercising. Everything I was doing was conducive with conceiving a boy. I wish you all luck, and send any lingering blue dust to any of those TTC a boy!!Luke James: breech c-section baby 02/05/15

How I didnt know all of this swayed boy is beyond me..
When I was TTC DS1 I was hoping for a fast pregnancy. We were told we may have some trouble as I have suspected endometriosis and excessive pain with AF. So I researched.. ALOT.
I was at a higher weight than normal (around 5 kgs up thanks to our 8 week honeymoon), and I did the following:
- I was travelling for work and eating at lovely restaurants - lots of good quality food and lots of protein and nutrition (I usually ate salmon twice a week, and lots of meat and veg). Constant snacking and grazing through the day, eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted but healthy. Just large portions and lots of food.
- I drank cough syrup from AF to O to increase CM and water it down
- Used a sperm friendly lubricant available in Australia I think it was called maybebaby that I now know sways blue
- BD every 2 days (followed the Sperm meets egg protocol)
- drank water ++ and took elevit prenatal vitamins for a month prior to TTC and while TTC
- Barely exercised - just a walk here and there
- Always had a big O
- Sat after BD with legs in air marinating lol.Last edited by ohsofaux; May 24th, 2016 at 06:53 PM.

That happened to SOOO many of us Ohso - we thought we would have trouble getting pregnant for whatever reason and so basically DID blue sways just in order to get pregnant at all. I have definitely had large chunks of my life where I was probably swaying pink inadvertently, but as luck would have it I just never got pregnant in those months. :/
I really really think that the main reason some of us sit here with 3, 4 or more boys (or girls for that matter) is just random chance. If I had gotten pregnant in the years where I was exercising a lot and at my thinnest, I could very well have had a girl. If I hadn't gone buggy planning my pg with DS 3 I could very well have had a girl. It's just that when you only get 2 or 3 chances, you gotta make em count!!!! Questions??

I have 2 boys and here is what my lifestyle was!
DS#1, I had been married for 6 months and, let's be honest, I had gained some weight after getting married haha. Honestly though, in the 6 months leading up to pregnancy I had probably gained 15 lbs (my poor DH! I think that was the major factor that swayed blue for me. I am also a huge snacker. I eat a LOT of meat, cheese, very fattening food. I know the week we conceived with him because we actually were trying to avoid pregnancy and "pulling out" (TMI, I know!) and we were on a mini vacation so therefore DTD every day or two.
DS#2, I was at a pretty high weight, although I had been there for a few years. The cycle we conceived was the first time I had tried OPK. Honestly I SO wish I could remember the exact dates we BD but I know for a fact it was more than once in my fertile window. I *think* we BD on the day of OPK and the day after, which would be ovulation day. But once again, I was very boy friendly, eating a lot of fat and protein and snacking.
One thing to mention, I was not doing any sort of exercising when I conceived either of my boys. I was total couch potato. I truly think diet sways more than anything. Good luck to all of you that want boys...you can take ALLLLL of my blue dust!!! I'm begging you- 2010, - 2014, TTC 2016
