Did anyone have a high dairy diet and conceive a boy?

I'm ttc a girl in June and the part of the girl diet I am getting on best with is drinking lots of milk (always loved dairy). I'm not doing so well with other parts of the diet (espec skipping breakfast!). So i'm just wondering how big a sway factor people have found a high dairy diet to be. Thanks.

I think Dairy is important, but more important is that your dairy is either low fat or no fat. full fat dairy seems to sway boy. Remember on the girl diet, you want to lose weight - not gain it.Happy Smile

oh and also not all dairy products are good for swaying girl. for instance Cheese is high in calcium but ALSO high in sodium - something we want to avoid!

And milk is high in calcium but also high in potassium and sodium so 2 glasses (250ml ) a day would be enough.

I just wanted to point out that skipping breakfast seems to be a HUGE factor in getting a girl.  Before I found IG and was just searching all over the internet I found several studies that said skipping breakfast leads to girls.  Even if you just delay breakfast it can help.  I know I have always woken up and gone straight to the kitchen for breakfast and I have 3 sons.  Now I have been trying to delay as long as I can and after a week or so I can now go at least 2 hours without getting really hungry.  I'm hoping to get that time longer and longer until I'm waiting all the way until lunch to eat anything.  GL!!!

 Hi I love cheese but never ate much due to its fat content. The only milk I ever had was on my cereal every morning without fail. I have never missed breakfast - EVER and I have 3 girls - every morning I get up eat 2 biscuits followed by cereal its my relgion Happy Smile

Strawbell - Did you skip other meals that would make you have low blood sugar?

Hopeful - Did you do other sway factors other than high dairy?

It seems you both did some of the right things but got opposite genders.  It makes me lose hope in swayingSad

Mountainviews don't lose hope! I did sway i thought was pretty good but I think what i did that increase my chances of having a boy which i didn't know i guess cause i didn't understand the OPK thing. Once i got an +OPK i BD which later i found out was a no no for ttc girl and my PH i really believe was high. I drink the wrong cranberry juice which i drink tons of. I didn't check my PH because i wasn't thinking i was gonna get pregnant that month. I was actually gonna order PH strips for that next month but to late. My sway well i wrote a post here's the link: http://www.ingender.com/cs/forums/t/245938.aspx Good luck Ladies!

Hopeful - okay, I still have hope:)  I didn't understand timing at all and did Shettles cut off method for two of my boys.  I'm glad now that it didn't work because my boys are great but I do still long for a daughter as well.  I'm so glad I finally found this site.  I'm still working out my plan and trying to learn everything that I can, I don't want to find something I missed and think "oops".  This will be my last so I only have one shot at this.  It's so much pressure!  But I want to give it my best shot so I have no regrets.  Good luck to you!

Ok I never eat breakfast- literally. I never could even fathom eating in the morning, plus I take thyroid medication so I have to wait to eat etc. I have 2 boys and am expecting a third. Most days I'm so crazy busy I don't eat till super late and I have been vegetarian almost my whole life. We cook our own food and really healthy. I don't know if you can really put so much into the diet swaying. Since I'm not a big dairy eater abd I really wanted a girl I took all the supplements and ate tons of Greek yogurt, nonfat lactose free milk, strawberries, and only what was included on the girl diet we did this for 3 cycles plus 5 weeks before ttc. My dh too! We are having another boy! We did o+12 too. So, I think if you can modify a bit that's great- but don't go overboard- I swear the stress of having all the factors right probably contributed to boy 3. Either that or you really just get what you get!!!

 There are always going to be those who have consumed high quantities of dairy (even low fat) and gone on to having boys, I guess. I am one of those! Although I haven't swayed properly for either of my sons (at most, we worked on timing really), I have always eaten breakfast and consume lots of low fat/sodium dairy anyway. I think in my case, my sway would have to be pretty hardcore next time to feel as though I've done something useful/ different for TTC pink!

 I never had breakfast but i ended up with two boys, but i used to eat alot of red meat (Never ate chicken or fish in my life until after my first son) I wasnt a big salt person either, and never had dairy.

 What people also need to remember is that the reason the diets work, beyond the supplements (calcium, magnesium, potassium)is that it is scientifically proven that the diet works because 

1. girls are hardier

2. boys die more often inutero

When the body feels like it is starving, going through a malnutrition period, it gears towards a girl, because she is most likely going to survive...and when you are eating a lot and full, the body take it that you are doing well and your diet is such to support having a boy. Proven scientific fact. That is also why the dieting and exercise sway girl.   The higher fat diets tend to sway boy, because that is how the body perceives the intake...as healthy and okay to support a boy.

Thankful for my bubbies!!!!!

Me!!

This was before I knew anything about the girl diet or swaying. I had just lost 36 lbs, was trying my hardest to lose another 15-30 lbs. I didn't eat much, went jogging and hiking frequently and was trying to eat mainly chicken (before that it was all ground beef..) and lots of veggies, etc. I also consumed lots of things with aspartame and splenda in them. Drank lots of skim milk (3 large glasses a day) and ate lots of yogurt and cottage cheese.  Loved my diet cranberry or diet cranraspberry juice. Was also a pastaholic. We conceived in the summer during a new moon (3 days before full moon though) or else a week later during a full moon but I still think it was the day after I ovulated..
Sex would have started out with me on top and ended in missionary and would have either been the day after I ovulated or else the day of ovulation if I ovulated a week late.
That's the other thing. Sex was infrequent due to DH having a lower libido..

That being said, when we start actively trying July/Aug 2013 (DS was born through not trying and not preventing) I will probably still have a high dairy diet and try to be a bit stricter with it to see what happens. (eating more things off of the girl diet, eating more hot foods, and totally cutting out my very limited caffeine intake) It's worth a try at least. My gut tells me I'll get a DS and not be able to convince DH to let me try again but you never know. At least this way I can say I tried..
