Never heard it and don't believe it to hold any truth...I never eat cereal and I had a boy.

A recent study did indicate that women who ate breakfast cereal every day were more likely to concieve boys.

I wonder if General Mills and Kellog's funded this study

Im with Pickles. Its amazing what a little lobbying can do. Cereals are BIG business.

I frankly couldnt care less what a study says. 50/50. You get what you get and you don't get upset - simple life lesson.

Though I suppose if I had a boy after eating Frosted Flakes, I'd have to name him Tony.

Imagine if I had my IUI's with meds and ate Rice Krispies when I surged? OH DEAR:

Sorry, I just couldnt help myself with this one.

Are we talking about cold or hot cereal?

Re: COnceiving boys & eating cereal for breakfast

of course not.......

it's random chance.... roughly 1/2 of DH's swimmers are Y's and half are X's.... all eggs are X's....

there's no food or position that promotes the Y's movement over the X's.... it's primarily chance.

the only thing that has the tiniest chance of being true is the theory that Y swimmers are faster because they're lighter (Y is a tiny chromosome, and X is HUGE and heavier).... so if you BD at the exact moment you're fertile, the Y's MAY swim faster than the X's and you MAY have a slight increased chance of having a boy.

The 2nd part of that theory is that the Y swimmers burn out faster... so if you BD the day before you're fertile, more X's could be around, and you could get a higher chance of getting a girl

I will say though, that the weight differential must be tiny, so I can't really visualize how Y's could be faster.... and I can't see the logic of why X swimmers would live longer in the uterus than Y's...

suffice to say I think it's all just up to chance, and we can't manipulate it....

But, I actually just read that women who skip breakfast are more likely to have a boy. I do not know if this has any truth to it.
