Brilliant thread. I can say that the main difference between ttcing my ds2 and dd was the following:
+ loosing weight! (while ttcing my ds2 I stuffed my face thinking it would enhance fertility, while ttcing dd I wanted to loose excess pg weight before falling again)
+ abstinence and generally not dtd often (my ds2 was only 7 months old and cosleeping, ttcing my ds2 we dtd frequently, but not every day)
+ walked to work every morning (ions and cardio)
+ o+12
... and my friend had a girl then a boy :D
When I had my DD, I ate a lot of diary - all low fat, milk and yogurt everyday, had diet soda, rice, mostly brown bread, less veggies, ate lot of fruit, no meat. Also, ate little salt. Loved carbs like pasta, potato and sweet baked things.
i don't remember what i ate. i hate red meat so i know i wasn't eating that. we actually swayed boy several times and failed the only things i can think of that messed up my sways were calcium. i love milk, not the skim milk. i want the fattening whole milk and taste like milk. dh is addicted to ice cream. i never ate breakfast and we always bd after a hot shower. not saying that will work for everyone but it was enough to give me 7 daughters. and it won't hurt to try those things.
When we made our daughter I swayed girl hard without even knowing. I ate a lot of chicken, no salt. Loved soda. never ater breakfast. Worked out a lot. Ton of cardio. Low weights. I was super thin. Took claritin almost daily for allergies. We dtd I was on top, It was about days after O. Oh and I have a hard core beard! LOL...Gotten even worse since pregnant with number 2! I think that is most of it!
THANK You so much girls!!!! I come back and read this thread often. SUCH a great thread!!!!! It makes me feel less stressed about FR and abstaining. Love you all!!!! My blue dust is YOURS!!!!!!!
DD1- Not swaying, but ate low calorie, low salt diet, didnt like red meat, drank diet coke every day drank low fat milk and low fat greek yoghurt, didnt eat until 10am. exercised daily ( walking dog or cardio at gym) was very underweight. Timing was neither abstinence or frequent bd.couldt tell when Ovulation was because I hardly had EWCM.
DS- increased food including breakfast when I was having trouble concieving. DTD for 4 days straight through ovulation. began charting on FF.
pregnant with DD2- swayed pink , took sudafed, used sylk. - did the A-gender diet as It was very similar food concepts as what I was eating when I conceived my DD1. however although I though abstinence was the key I "stuffed up" timing and did only 5 days abstinence, followed by 2 days in a row BD ( 2 days before ovulation) this still resulted in a girl!
hope this helps others.
