Re: Moms of girls, a few questions about conceiving
Did you cut out all caffeine? No way
Did you increase your dairy? Nope
(TMI-sorry) Did you use a lubricant (they say it lowers your PH)? No
Do you know how many days before O that you conceived? Don't remember
Did you drink alot of diet soda, crystal light, or stuff with aspartame? None
Anything else special that you did to help you conceive? After we DTD I held my legs up in the air for a while to give the girls a running start up the tubes....it worked. (I had read about doing this somewhere).

Re: Moms of girls, a few questions about conceiving
we did IVF so what I did wont necessarily matter to you. but i wanted to answer anyway.
Did you cut out all caffeine?
yes - i did this for IVF, not to try for a girl
Did you increase your dairy?
no
(TMI-sorry) Did you use a lubricant (they say it lowers your PH)?
LOL
Do you know how many days before O that you conceived?
in IVF you conceive the day of O because the retrieve and fertilize the egg the same day. they also used ICSI on my eggs so the fact that it was a girl just means the embryologist randomly chose a girl sperm 
Did you drink alot of diet soda, crystal light, or stuff with aspartame?
not really
Anything else special that you did to help you conceive?
yeah, IVF

I have been reading different books and different things online, and was just wondering if some of the information held true.
Did you cut out all caffeine? NO.. BUT I WASN'T A HUGE CAFFEINE DRINKER TO BEGIN WITH. MAYBE 1 TO 2 ICED COFFEES A WEEK. NO SODA.
Did you increase your dairy? NO. BUT I LOVE CHEESE SO I EAT PLENTY OF DAIRY AS IS.
(TMI-sorry) Did you use a lubricant (they say it lowers your PH)? YES.. WE USED PRE-SEED.
Do you know how many days before O that you conceived? I BELIEVE IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE O THAT KNOCKED ME UP.
Did you drink alot of diet soda, crystal light, or stuff with aspartame? NO DIET SODA. CRYSTAL LIGHT ICED TEA SOMETIMES.
Anything else special that you did to help you conceive? DEANNA'S PLAN, CBEFM, PRE SEED, PRAYING TO ST GERARD, CBE DIGITAL OPKS.
GOOD LUCK!
Thank you

Re: Moms of girls, a few questions about conceiving
I did exactly the same things and followed same lifestyle choices trying to conceive #1 and then #2 - even followed the same TTC "plan" - first time I had a boy, second time a girl - so not sure if my advice will help

Re: Moms of girls, a few questions about conceiving
Prior to the fertility problem I have now.... I was like 'Fertile Myrtle', but during those times I would have 1 soda per day (not a coffee drinker). I was never really a dairy person. The most I would do was yogurt. No Lube. I pretty much just knew my cycle. But I would say this probably a tmi but I believe positions could be a factor.

While TTC -
I did not cut out caffeine.
Did not increase dairy.
No lubricant.
We BD'd on CD 11 and 14. I think I O'd on CD 13. I believe CD 11 is the reason I conceived girls.
I read girl sperm swim slow but live longer than boy sperm. I believe when I Od the boy sperm had already died off and girl sperm were waiting for the egg.
With DS we BD CD 11, 13, 15, 17 and had a boy. So my guess is boy sperm (swim faster) beat the girl sperm to the egg.
Had about 1 can of soda a week, which is the usual for me.

Re: Moms of girls, a few questions about conceiving
I have 4 girls. I am big on dairy. I love yogurt and frozen yogurt-
My yogurt has asparteme in it.
I also drink diet soda.
I don't eat red meat. I eat a lot of chicken salad and vegetables. I'm not big on pasta but I do like carbs- just other kinds.
I became a regualr coffee drinker after my 3rd daughter was born.
That's basically my diet. I could live on ice cream, diet coke, chicken, vegies and salad- oh and coffee.
ETA: I ovulate early since my cycle is 27 days.
For example- Myy last baby: I got pregnant on CD8. Most women are just getting over AF on day 8. I  on CD8- and had implantation bleeding 10 days later and knew I was pg.
I always BD-ed before I O. Never did I wait a day or 2 after O.
Althought it's TMI- I will answer: No lubricant and all were considered missonary. 
In retrospect, I can totally see why I have 4
