I have a theory ... my DH started taking Propecia (for hair loss) several years ago, after our last DS was born. He has been taking it ever since. One of the ways Propecia works is that it reduces, I believe, the free testosterone in the man's system... if lower testosterone = more girls, could there be a link between the male taking Propecia and the gender of his offspring? Interestingly, I am now pregnant with our first daughter. Atomic, just wondering if you thought there might be something to this.

Yes, I do believe that very well could help sway. Thanks for sharing this info!

Just wanted to mention - YOU (DW) should NEVER handle the Propecia tablets. It can cause serious birth defects.

Oh yes, mom should never touch Propecia...absolutely not. Just thought it may sway if DH takes it, and thought it might be helpful :)
