To those that conceived girls..

[OnlyMeeee]

My friend is swaying for a dd (her first child!!!), I think swaying is rubbish and it's 50/50 she thinks otherwise.

Anyway, wanted to test the theory on a couple of swaying and non swaying factors to those who have dd's:

Pre-conception:
Did you have a calcium rich diet, lots of yoghurts, milk etc?
Did you drink lots of coffee/tea?
Did you drink alcohol?
Did you eat lots of red meat?
Did you conceive when the weather was rainy and wet?
Did you orgasm when conceiving??

btw I'm not a journo.

Thanks

No answers you get here will be a big enough sample to say if any of those things work.

How is she swaying? Back and forth against a penis is the best way to get pregnant in general I hear

I have 2 dds.

No calcium rich diet, never drink milk or have yoghurts but eat quite a bit if cheese.
Don't drink any tea/coffee
Very rarely drink alchohol.
Eat red meat but not lots, once a week at most.
Dd1 conceived in december, dd2 in June, no idea about weather.
No idea about orgasm, probably not.

All sounds like nonsense to me, no idea why any of that would be relevant.

love the thought of swaying on a penis

Conceived just after Christmas so drank masses of wine, ate lots of turkey, lamb, ham, mince pies, chocolate.

Result: 8lb 13oz of healthy baby girl

Drinking a lot of alcohol caused DD to be conceived

was stoned, can't remember!

Getting married -- conceived DD on my wedding night. No to all OP's questions.

I think we're establishing that girls like parties and appear after a good time has been had.

Have just had third girl:

Don't have a lot of calcium in diet
No coffee at all, have some tea
Don't drink alcohol at all
Eat very little red meat
DD1 conceived in Sept, dd2 in Jan, dd3 in May
Yup to the orgasm, what can I say I'm a lucky girl with a crap diet btw and a sneaky smoker

Conceived a girl.

Ate LOADS of calcium
Permanently have mug of tea welded to left hand
Ate a LOT of rare steak and spaggy bol
Never smoked or drank
Conceived in August. Weather probably was okay
Probably didn't orgasm

One thing that changed when pregnant was a craving for fruit and sweet things, rather than my usual salty olives and cheese crackers snack habits.

Did you have a calcium rich diet, lots of yoghurts, milk etc? Moderate amount
Did you drink lots of coffee/tea? Moderate amount
Did you drink alcohol? Yes
Did you eat lots of red meat? No none
Did you conceive when the weather was rainy and wet? I can't remember
Did you orgasm when conceiving?? I can't remember

can't answer any of the questions as can't remember, BUT, for me i am convinced the timing of conception played a part... conceived 2 boys having definitely had sex on the day i ovulated... conceived a girl having had sex before ovulation and not on the day itself... i've read that this has scientific basis (something to do with X sperm swimming slower than Y sperm??)

two girls, no to them all except the alcohol.

Not particularly
Lots of tea
Yes
Yes
No, in Greece where is was very much the opposite
Yes

I think MrsR might be onto something there. I think I ovulated after The Sex, and I think the theory is that male sperm swim fast but are weak so don't last long, whereas female sperm swim slow and are stronger so hang around for the egg longer.

pretty sure timing of ovulation is more important - one DS conceived on day of ovulation. Twin DD's pretty sure DTD several days (I think 4 or 5) before ovulation. To the extent we thought there is no way we could have conceived that month.

Calcium rich diet - no i don't like dairy
Tea and coffee - lots of black coffee
Alcohol - yes (unfortunately rather a lot what with it being near Xmas)
Red meat - yes
Weather - can't remember
Yes to the last one

I conceived a girl having had sex before ovulation too. Had a testing kit and it said I wasn't ovulating until several days afterwards.

one dd here.

Absolutely NO to a calcium rich diet
less than average (though still one or two cups per day) caffeine based drinks
No alcohol, if any drunk it would have been a few glasses at a party rather than a glass per night.
No red met
No idea about weather, was december.
Probably orgasmed at some point during sex, but not necessarily at point of conception

I have two girls.

Did you have a calcium rich diet, lots of yoghurts, milk etc? Yes to lots of cheese
Did you drink lots of coffee/tea? Lots of tea, coffee never
Did you drink alcohol? Yup
Did you eat lots of red meat? Never
Did you conceive when the weather was rainy and wet? DD1 was on a trip to Timbuktu so hot and sunny/DD2 November in Plymouth so probably raining
Did you orgasm when conceiving?? Probably. I usually do.

By the way, what is swaying and what are swaying factors? Wondering how diet and weather can be a factor when people living in hot climates with no red meat/alcohol/caffeine still have the usual gender ratio?

coccyx i love the thought of swaying on a penis too - reality not always the case!!

I have one dd, we had sex on the Saturday and I must have ovulated on the Monday, going by my dates.

In answer to the questions

Yes
Some tea
Yes
Some
Don't know
Yes

Have 2 DS and 1 DD. The boys were conceived during ovulation. I wasnt concerned with what sex just trying to time getting pregnant. With DD I was trying out the pre-ovulation theory in the hopes of having a girl for a change and it worked! That said I didnt have any testing kits etc just worked roughly off my own dates.

On all 3 dc's
Calcium rich diet - not particularly
Tea and coffee - Tea by the bucket load
Alcohol - yes with DS1, no with other two
Red meat - yes
Weather - Ireland - most likly it was raining!
Yes

ive got 3 girls but its the dad who decides the sex isnt it?? hes got 5 sisters though if this helps
