mommytimes3 · #1 April 6th, 2011, 07:59 AM

I want to TTC #4 I have 2 girls and 1 boy and would like to have another boy. Do you have any tips of swaying a boy that worked for you?

Thanks

I added sea salt to warm baths, ate loads of bananas, tomatoes, potatoes and red meat. I also eat alot of chocolate. I very rarely eat or drink any dairy. I only really eat cauli and broccolli out of the veggies. I always have cereal for breakfast with tiniest amount of milk. And i have had 4 boys.
Other thing that you can do is take evening primrose capsuals, use pre seed. Get dh to drink a strong coffee an hour before dtd. And dtd on the day of ovulation. Preferably just before.

I didnt intentionally sway for my boys but my usual diet is most of the things from the boy diet. The salt in a warm bath was what the doctor told me to do b/c i kept getting thrysh, but that sways for a boy too. I know that 2 out of 4 of the boys were definately conceived day of ovulation and also in a girl on top position (which also sways blue)
My last boy i was was swaying pink. I did the girl diet for 3 months, then i got pg and had a miscarriage. So after that i had another bad yeast infection. So i decided to go back to my usual diet for abit. Then that month i really wanted to get pg so dtd on ovulation day. Dh always has coffee in the evening. I had drank wine and ate mexican and pizza the night before and that is when i mustve conceived Alex!

Ditto on the bananas...They tend to sway "boy" due to the high amount of potassium.
A few other things I've heard sway "boy" are:
-Preseed lube
-DTD like rabbits around ovulation
-Deep penetration

If I think of anything else, I'll post it. GL! I hope you get your 2nd boy. I would also love 2 girls and 2 boys. Seems like the perfect match!

Forgot to add, both times we conceived (both boys), I used an Instead cup (Menstrual Cups, Period, Feminine & Menstruation Products | Instead Softcup) to hold the sperm in there and had my hips tilted up for about an hr. After the fact, I heard that both the Instead cup and putting your hips up sways boy. Hope this helps!

I need all the tips I can get, lol! This will be the last time we conceive so I'm pretty desparate! I'm beginning to get "baby fever" now and I'm almost to the point where I would love any sweet, squishy, ball of love!

We haven't TTC yet but I felt the same way when we got #2...I was to the point where I wasn't really swaying like I should have, just wanted to be preg again. I'm reaaaaally trying to hold out and do things more "girl" this time. Ha, ha... Sending you lots and lots of BLUE DUST, Mama...You can have ALL of mine!
