Prediction Based on Sway (63% Accuracy)

[Inky]

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST A GUESS IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE UPSET BY ME *GUESSING* WHAT YOUR BABY'S GENDER MIGHT BE. I DON'T WANT ANYONE MAD AT ME JUST BECAUSE I DON'T TELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. THIS IS FOR FUN ONLY AND IT IS BASED ON *MY* RESEARCH (IE: STUDIES AND STATISTICS I HAVE READ) AND MAY NOT MATCH YOUR OWN RESEARCH OR THE RESEARCH OF OTHERS. PLEASE TAKE ANY GUESSES WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

Post your sway and I'll give you what I think your odds are for a particular gender. If you didn't sway, you can still fill out the questionnaire.

QUESTIONNAIRE AT BOTTOM.

I did this in my due date club and so far have been right 81% of the time (it was 100% for swayers, but there weren't many there), and that was going off non-swayers info, so sometimes I was missing information a swayer would have had that could have affected my results. I'm curious how my guesses hold up for swayers.

I'm curious how my swayed guesses will go here. My guesses will be given in percentages and will be separated by swayers and non swayers and "leans" (when I think it could go either way, but leans slightly one way than another) as well as my stats overall. (I won't include my stats from a previous forum, but you can read about those stats on page 5 of this thread).

[The Anchor]

Wow Inky, awesome! I bet you'll be very busy very soon :)

[Inky]

Thorz, I can make a guess based on what you gave here, but that guess might change depending on the answers to these additional questions:

Did DH drink on any of your sway nights?
What day did you Ovulate?
Were you a smoker at time of conception (heavy or light)?
Was your husband a smoker at time of conception (heavy or light)?
Were you or your husband sick this month?
Does he wear boxers or briefs?
Were you stressed when you conceived, and if so, what were you stressed about?
Did you do nub theory or ramzi theory yet this pregnancy? What did it suggest (or do you have pictures)

As it stands, I would guess 56% chance of having a girl :) I will update this number for you if you answer more of the above questions (whatever you can).

[Inky]

Wow Inky, awesome! I bet you'll be very busy very soon :)

This is fun for me. I also want to see how good I am at guessing HAHA. I just got a positive screening for Downs and had new blood work done to get the "yes or no" so I need something to occupy my free time until I get the results so I don't end up googling too much...

We don't drink alcohol at all.
I ovulated either jan 7 or jan 8 FF Says jan 8
Neither of us smoke at all.
We were both sick with sinus infections and taking sudafed
Nope I wasn't too stressed it was my most relaxed month ttc.
I'm not far enough along for nub theory and haven't had a scan yet so I have no info for ramzi.
Other info you might like to know, I know I ovulated from left ovary, and I take adderall, which atomic says sways pink

Oh no!! When do you get the results?

[Inky]

Okay, doesn't change it much, then. I would say 55% girl :)

[Inky]

In two weeks! My odds were 1 in 195, which isn't horrible, and might be related to the vanishing twin they seem to keep forgetting about.

[The Anchor]

Oh no Inky, you must be a mess - how long do you have to wait?

[The Anchor]

Mine were 1 in 230 with my DS, due to my age. I'm sure she is FINE. I have a g/f who got 1 in 15, NO KIDDING, and her son is 100% down's free.

[Thorz300]

Thanks! It's not a huge lean on the pink side but its better than going the other way.
It may not help much to hear my sister had a downs scare with her daughter a while back and her numbers were around 1 in 100 and everything turned out ok for her.
I hope it all is ok for you too

[Inky]

Thanks so much <3 I don't think the odds are horrible. I am handling it pretty well, I think. Of course I'm more worried than I would have been with a negative screen, but I still think everything is going to be okay :)

[Inky]

Thanks. Hmm, now my posts have to be approved for moderator approval. I wonder why... Anyway, whenever this shows up, I think 1 in 195 isn't terrible odds. It's like .05% But I'll feel better when I know for sure.

[Wanting-a-girl]

ahhh i havnt dont my sway thing yet so i will write it lol


LE diet for 8 weeks
no caffeine for over a year
lost 10lbs on the diet
i was a smoker
dh is a smoker of smokes and pot
he drinks caffine he does not drink alcohol
we abstained for 30 days then did frequent release for six days

i have a stresssful life but who doesnt lol but i think my attemp was right around the time of the conneticut shooting and it really took a toll on me

my attempts we used spermicide (small amounts)
i was taking tylenol with codiene for 10 days thought it can only help my sway lol
I did not do the big O it was hard but i didnt lol and we did a mix of him on top or me

[Mrs_P]

http://genderdreaming.com/forum/add-your-girl-sway/14881-mrs_p-ttc-girl-sway-attempt.html this is mine - gender still not officially confirmed so cvs could be wrong - what do you reckon

[hotdogz&boyz]

I am gonna hide my siggy, since I already know what I am having (no cheating!). But I thought it would be fun to get what you think my percentage would be for a successful sway. Feel free to ask any pertinent questions (I'll answer the above ones since you asked about those specifically).

Did DH drink on any of your sway nights? Nope, neither of us drink
What day did you Ovulate? September 1st 2012
Were you a smoker at time of conception (heavy or light)? Never smoked before, neither has DH
Were you or your husband sick this month? Yes, I was sick with a cold right about the time of conception. DH was not sick.
Does he wear boxers or briefs? He wore briefs
Were you stressed when you conceived, and if so, what were you stressed about? Not stressed about anything. DH was not either, he actually had an easy summer at work
Did you do nub theory or ramzi theory yet this pregnancy? What did it suggest (or do you have pictures)My Ramzi's was not reliable because it was abdominal. I did get a guess from a Ramzi's guessed and she said she would have said "girl." My nub theory was from 11w6d measuring and it was girly.

We were swaying for a girl. Although it wasn't a hard-core sway. I was on the IG (in gender) diet for about a month in July. But it wasn't my thing and I stopped by August 1st. When my period started in August, I went on the LE diet and was strict for the two weeks before ovulation and for the week after ovulation.

I have naturally low blood sugar and skipped breakfast daily. DH didn't change his diet. I was eating veggie, but only for those two weeks. I am a natural carnivore. I limited caffeine, but that is normal for me.

Supps/meds info: I was taking just baby aspirin, for an underlying condition. I take it all the time. I also used refresh before our attempts. DH was taking licorice root and also takes Zyrtec daily for allergies. He was also taking cranberry and calcium (he admitted he only did the calcium "sometimes" because he hated swallowing them).

DTD info: we tried twice that month, the first was after an abstain of only 5 days. The second was two days following. I am fairly certain the second attempt was the successful one. One was missionary without O (first one), one was woman on top with O (second attempt). No dump and jump.

Lifestyle: I was still nursing a toddler a couple times a day. I was up about 3-4 times at night with him as well (averaging about 6 hours of sleep total). As stated, I was getting a cold at the time as well. I have never been an exerciser and didn't change that. My BMI was about 22.5 at the time. The lowest of my conceptions, I had lost about 10lbs in 2 weeks on the LE crash diet. Although my pattern over the past year was more losing than gaining, since I was taking off pregnancy weight and nursing. I only had one post-partum period and the ovulation we caught was only the second one that I know of since having my previous child.

We conceived on the full moon. We DTD at night after hot showers. I had a previous eating disorder, I have been in recovery for 6 years at the time of conception. We have two sons. I was 27 and DH was 29 at the time of conception.

How is that? Lol. Long enough for you? So, without looking at previous threads or finding my sway (this says basically what that says)...what are my odds?

[Inky]

That's weird...I approved your post, the anti-spam software is so touchy. Anyway, HUGS inky...

no problem! Just glad I didn't do anything wrong LOL

Thank you in advance!!

[Inky]

wow! What about my sway makes you that think that high of a boy percentage. Just curious.

It's really not high :P just about 50/50. I do it based on a point system, and some things are worth more points than others, but not by much. Most things are 1 point, a couple are 2 or 3 points (but not many). Moon phase on conception date.

Some boy factors were you drinking around conception and your husband not. Orgasm during sex. Abstaining for less than a week before DTD. You had some really great girl factors though, so still a good chance it's a girl, and LE diet is supposed to be the most important sway factor and you did that :)

[Inky]

Hey, BabyGirl4Me, let me know when you get a BFP. I would prefer to make guesses on completed sways so that the data can most likely be updated after the ultrasound :)

ICB3 55% girl :)

updated info - how are these calculated ? i'm intrigued

61% girl

Okay, here's what I did, basically.

I looked at different things that are shown or said to sway. If it's something that doesn't have studies backing it up, it's worth 1 point. If it's something with studies backing it up with a very slight result, I give it 2 points. If it's something that has huge, notable sway factor, I give it 3 points.

From there I start with 49% (the general odds of having a girl without sway). For anything girl friendly, the points are added. For anything boy friendly, the points are subtracted. That gives me percentage (so if the percentage is 40%, for example, I know that means 60% boy sway. If the perfect is 55, that means 55% girl sway). It's definitely not scientific (though it's based on scientific knowledge) It's more for fun than anything else.

Just a quick question about the alcohol part. Atomic says being drunk at dtd sways pink. And in the LE diet faq she says "Yes. Alcohol may lower fertility for both DH and DW. It can also be a good way to get some potassium and calories without any other nutrients. You do need to include it in your calorie count for the day."


And I did have a fan going in our room, I always do I didn't really think about the ions part. And I was unhealthy vegetarian for 9 months

[Inky]

Small amounts of wine could sway pink (lowers pH, lowers T/E levels, lowers blood glucose) but the calories in it could sway blue if you drink too much. (It's pretty much great for DH to drink alcohol when swaying pink though! HIS calories won't effect you, and it will raise his estrogen!)

Fans are great for girly ions :)

I also believe being vegetarian sways girl!

[Navywife620]

White wine was my choice of drink! I measured out the serving size and had a glass every night and kept it within my limits

[Inky]

The problem with the WOMAN drinking alcohol is it kinda cancels itself out. It's acidic, which sways girl, but it raises estrogen, and when it raises the woman's estrogen that sways boy (you want low E and low T when swaying girl). Raising the man's estrogen can sway girl though.

Good luck and I hope you get your girl!

[atomic sagebrush]

before anyone panics, I believe alcohol sways pink in both husband and wife. Essay forthcoming

[Inky]

I'll be curious to hear that.

All my kids were conceived while drinking (except my youngest girl), so I don't think it's a big sway factor either way (which is why I only give 1 point to the alcohol questions anyway).

I wish I could find the studies I had (this is what I get for not bookmarking) but they said high estrogen in woman is connected to conceiving boys.

But like I said, I haven't been 100% with this points system anyway.

Ah, here's a little...

High Estrogen, boys. High Progesterone, girls:
http://www.drlam.com/a3r_brief_in_doc_format/estrogen_dominance.cfm#6

"Similarly, low levels of magnesium and vitamin B6 are also linked to estrogen dominance, as magnesium and vitamin B6 help to neutralize estrogen levels." Estrogen Dominance (http://www.sharedjourney.com/infertility_estrogen.html)

But raising estrogen is different than estrogen dominance, so it could be some estrogen sways girl but just having too much sways boy.

"Estrogen is an infamous hormone, blamed for just about everything female. Everybody likes to say that women are hormonal and emotional, and estrogen gets the brunt of the blame.
Estrogen works to help trigger the female cycle to begin moving towards ovulation. It peaks several days before ovulation and drops as other hormones begin to surge.It may seem like since estrogen is a “female” hormone that it would influence the conception of a girl, but the opposite is true. When testosterone and estrogen are both high, scientific evidence indicates that the conception of a boy is far more likely."

I wish I could find the actual studies, though.

Last post waiting for moderator approval :)

Still waiting for moderator approval for my post before this one. It has some information in there regarding alcohol and sway. If I have time, I'll try re-posting later if it still hasn't been approved :)

[mommymachine]

I really hope your still doing this in a month or so when DH and I have our attempt.

[wannagirl21]

How accurate are these do you have a list of the percentages and the outcomes.? just curious.

[Inky]

Here is from ones I did on another board:

boy guess of 50-70% (Wrong)
boy guess of 63-66% (Correct)
boy guess of 57-60% (Wrong)
boy guess of 56% (Correct)
boy guess of 56% (Wrong)
boy LEAN of 47%-57% (Correct)

(Not so great on the boy guesses LOL)

girl guess of 63-78% (Correct)
girl guess of 54-67% (Correct)
girl guess of 53-66% (Correct)
girl guess of 50-60% (Correct)
girl guess of 56% (Correct)
girl LEAN of 49-52% (Correct)

I am still waiting for more ladies to find out. I probably need to work on this a bit more to figure out why I'm basically just hit or miss with boy guesses but more accurate (so far) with girl guesses.

Re: Alcohol: Alcohol Lowers Testosterone, Increases Estrogen (http://www.stopdrinkingalcohol.com/alcohol-lowers-testosterone.html)

-A man drinking alcohol reduces sperm count (sways girl)
-Alcohol lowers T, but raises Estrogen (sways girl in man, sways boy in woman) (The woman wants low estrogen AND low T when trying to conceive a girl.)
-alcohol hurts sperm count in a man (sways girl)

RE: Keeping T and E low in DW sways girl:
"For DW, higher levels of testosterone and estrogen seem to sway blue, while lower levels of testosterone and estrogen seem to sway pink. Higher levels of progesterone also sway pink." ~From Atomic

Raising E in man sways girl
"Consequently, for DH, it may actually be more helpful for them to be carrying a bit of excess body fat - in men, higher estrogen levels tend to sway pink which in turn lowers testosterone, and since more body fat = more estrogen, this may be the time for us to accept our husband’s beer bellies and love handles!" ~From Atomic
Source for both those quotes: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-girl/1541-hormones-ttc-pink.html

higher estrogen sways girl:
"Higher levels of estrogen are believed to sway BLUE" ~Atomic
SOURCE: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/1881-super-soy-girl-boy.html

So going on what we know about alcohol raising estrogen, it made me stay away.

Note: I am sure a little alcohol doesn't hurt when swaying girl, but I *personally* stayed away from it because I know my hormones adjust easily and I know WAY too many people who conceived boys while having a few drinks a week and got their girl when they abstained from alcohol. I am also in the camp that conceived her boys while having a couple drinks but conceived her girls when abstaining from alcohol (this time intentionally, the last time because I was breastfeeding). I did HEAR (but haven't seen evidence yet) that SMALL amounts of wine (and I haven't heard how small) MIGHT sway pink if the calories/sugars don't sway blue first. I personally decided not to test that theory. Also, alcohol is acidic, which sways girl, BUT acidic the raised estrogen sways boy, so IMO better to stay away from it.

More on Hormones and Gender Selection:
"Scientific evidence strongly indicates that hormones can be used to select the gender of your baby. High levels of estrogen and testosterone have been shown to favor the conception of boys. Other sex hormones, the gonadotropins and progesterone favor conception of a girl. It should be noted that when gonadotropin hormones are administered to a man the result is a boost in testosterone. So a man with high testosterone or receiving gonadotropic or testosterone therapy is more likely to father a son. A man with low testosterone rates overall will most likely father daughters."
SOURCE: Your Hormones and Swaying For a Boy | Gender Selection Central (http://www.genderselectioncentral.com/conceive-a-boy/your-hormones-and-swaying-for-a-boy/)

(there's also some interesting information re: timing int here. I don't believe in timing, but I like that they are basing their timing on hormones instead of other factors)

Estrogen Dominance and Gender... This next part is talking about estrogen dominance, which I'm sure isn't the same as elevating your estrogen ;) but the information is still interested. Sadly, I cannot find the actual studies from when I was making my own TTC plan :( These articles reference studies but don't link to them, so take them with a grain of salt.

Some starter information about Estrogen Dominance
"Similarly, low levels of magnesium and vitamin B6 are also linked to estrogen dominance, as magnesium and vitamin B6 help to neutralize estrogen levels." Estrogen Dominance (http://www.sharedjourney.com/infertility_estrogen.html)

From the above article
"In men, high estrogen levels are linked to low sperm count. In some studies, sperm count levels were found to have dropped by 50%." (this would sway girl, since low sperm count sways girl. I think alcohol is good for the man when swaying pink!)

anyway, remember, it's SWAYING not GETTING. It's not like if you get the "alcohol answer" right you WILL get the gender you want. When I made this questionairre, alcohol is not one of the factors I assigned a lot of points, too. I actually assign more points to the smoking question (well, I either don't subtract or add 1-2 points depending on the answer). I would never tell someone to smoke while TTC, but if you already do, there's evidence it sways girl more than I would have expected. I don't smoke, but DH does.

Re: Smoking:
"The natural birth rate in Europe and North America favours males, with around 105 boys for every 100 girls - although males are more likely to die in infancy."
"In the first group, in which neither parent smoked, for every 100 baby girls there were 121 boys.
But when both parents smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day the figure for male babies fell to its lowest level of just 82.
Where the mother was a nonsmoker but the father smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day, the ratio was 98 boys per 100 girls.
And when the mother was a heavy smoker but the father did not smoke, the figure for boys fell to 87."

[atomic sagebrush]

NOTHING is a big sway factor either way. Even Clomid has produced thousands and thousands of boys.

I think my time would be better spent actually writing essays than debating on this post which is not even the point of this post to begin with. Suffice it to say, I have looked into it fully and I don't think alcohol sways blue. I think maternal condition is everything and it trumps any other theories like prog/estrogen, which, may I add, is totally unproven anyway.

You can find some essays where I mention the traditional sway theories and take them into consideration because many people want the info. That does not mean that I ~believe~ those things to be true. This isn't "swaying atomic's way" it's "gender swaying with opinions by atomic" :)

53-60% girl kaseybaby

[kaseybaby]

Thanks Inky! I will update as soon as I know :)

[Navywife620]

I personally think drinking doesn't sway as much as you think it does. if you look at the girl sway attempts and outcomes plenty of people have gotten boys and did not drink. I never drank when I conceived my boys.

[Inky]

I'm not sure how you can say that when you don't know how much I think drinking sways. You make it sound like I think it's THE determining factor, and I've never said so.

I give drinking "points" at an equal rate that I give things that are more like "old wives tales" ;) I give it a 1 point sway (which is like 1%). The things I give higher points to are things like the LE diet.

And no matter WHAT sway factor you look at, there will be a lot of people who went against that and got a contrary gender. There are people who do EVERY sway technique perfect and still get a gender opposite. I'm not saying "If you do 'x' sway factor you WILL DEFINITELY ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT A DOUBT get 'x' gender.

So, obviously there are people who never drank and conceived boys or who drank tons and conceived girls. It's also hard to isolate 1 sway factor like that; I think it's better when you look at all the factors together.

I'm sorry that my for fun guess wasn't what you wanted to be hear, but it's FOR FUN and does not mean that will be the gender of your baby or even that *I* think it will be. All this means is that based on this SILLY QUIZ THAT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY that I made (with the intention that people would see it as silly and NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY) that score came up, and that considering that ONE factor I altered the overall percentage by ONE PERCENT. One. Not 10. Not me thinking drinking sways a lot or that everyone who drinks has boys and everyone who doesn't has girls. I can see why you think I think it's more important than it is when you think I think that, but the reality is I DON'T think that so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not tell ME what *I* think because you are not in my head and do not know. If would be like me assuming that you wouldn't be having this conversation with me if I had said drinking sways girls and posted links supporting that idea. I don't make that assumption because I'm not you, so I appreciate you not making assumptions about me.

I hope you get your girl and I think you had a great sway :)

I was going to ask the same question :)

Thank you for your guess. 55% boy is still positive lol

[Inky]

Mel...

first, keep in mind I don't think I've ever given more than a 70% sway (and that was factoring in both ramzi and nub theory, which has less to do with sway and more to do with what is already done), 60% is actually high for a sway guess from me. I try to be modest in how I hand out points to keep in mind that it's still only a sway, not a sure thing, even if you do everything right.

the things that VERY MILDLY brought down the percentage were the no hot shower, the boxers, the being in good health (not sick). some things didn't sway either way (there are some things that I think the presence of might sway boy, but I don't think that necessarily the absence of sways girl, and vice versa). Overall I think you had a very good sway and 53% girl is actually a good percentage when you consider that rarely does it go as high as 60.

Elements...

the things that MILDLY affected your numbers was your age, which SLIGHTLY favors girls. Then the abstain for over a week before DTD, which is a girl sway technique (actually a bit surprising to see that on an intentional boy sway!) Being sick slightly sways girls and hot showers before DTD slightly sways girls. Though when I say slightly, I mean more in a "very well could just been an old wives tale" sort of way. Very few things are proven to really sway a noticeable amount. The only ones I've seen convincing studies on are diet and smoking.

Vanesse, congrats! For the conception date, though, I need ovulation date, not positive test date. If 3/10 is your ovulation date I'm guessing you haven't had a positive test yet, in which case message me after you confirm pregnancy so I'm not redoing this every month until you get a BFP. Good luck with your boy sway!

Hi Inky,

Can you do a prediction for me even though I haven't conceived yet? I have it all planned so can still answer most of the questions. :)

X x x

I like to wait until after conception, this way if anything changes from your plan my results are still "accurate" (to my test) without making any changes. :)

Good luck and I hope you get your BFP soon!

It seems the questionnaire covered everything :) Also keep in mind that 58% is a high guess! I don't go up to 100%. In fact, the highest that is even possible for girl is ...
72 without ramzi or nub
77 with ramzi
82 with nub
and 87 with both nub and ramzi

And really, even a perfect sway is not actually 87% odds, which is why this is just for fun :)

The highest anyone got on this was 63-78% girl. And ramzi and nub actually having nothing to do with sway and more to do with the odds of what the baby already probably is.

[mommymachine]

Hope I answer the questionnaire correctly! It's at the bottom of page ten! Let me know if you have any other questions...I'm sure there is SOMETHING I've missed:)

[Inky]

an update from the predictions I've made on another board...

Boy guesses: 6/11 = 55% accuracy
Girl Guesses: 8/8 = 100% accuracy

so, if I guesses boy for you, definitely take it with a grain of salt.

[BabyGirl4Me]

You have the magic touch Inky! Thanks for doing this for us!

[Inky]

I just wish I could get better at my boy guesses :/

[BabyGirl4Me]

I just wish I could get better at my boy guesses :/

I have no doubt you will. :) Thank you again.

[Inky]

My boy guesses went up to 67% after some more recent announcements.
My girl guesses are still at 100% . . . for now.

83% accuracy overall.

My guesses are based on swaying so IMO this proves that swaying does sway :P

[BabyGirl4Me]

Amazing! Your boy guesses will keep going up too, no doubt. Do you do lottery numbers too Inky? :rofl:

[Inky]

LOL. No, actually, I TRIED doing tarot readings for gender but my predictions only right about 50/50 of the time . . . or worse!!! If I ever both to figure out patterns in the lottery, maybe I'd buy a ticket :P

[strawberrymom]

strawberrymom 57% girl
I was just told yesterday that I am having a girl.

[Inky]

thanks for the update, strawberry mom, and congrats!

[Inky]

I got a twins guess right! woo hoo :P

[Sihaya]

Did you guess twins before they found out, or did they already know it was twins and you guessed the genders correctly? (Impressive either way, I'm just curious.)

[Inky]

Oh, just guessed the genders after I knew it was twins. I wasn't sure I'd be able to because my quiz generally gives a boy or girl answer. Somehow her quiz came back as 55% girl AND 55% boy (which has never happened before and TBH I can't remember how I came up with those numbers) but she found out yesterday she is indeed having boy/girl twins. I've gotten "ranges before" (such as 45% to 53% boy) but that usually gives me a LEAN answer (in that case, girl) so she must have gotten something like 45-55% girl, which would be a 55% chance of either gender, which is why I guessed one of each. I *think* that's how I did it. Either way, it was my first twin guess and it was so neat to have gotten it right!

[BabyGirl4Me]

Inky you need to get a patent on this thing and start selling the results! Brilliant!

[Inky]

LOL Well, I need to get better at my boy guesses first! But really all it does is guess based on sway (whether the sway was intentional or not!) I like doing it and it's something fun for other mamas!

[Inky]

Here are my updated numbers from the other forum I'm doing this on...

Boy Guesses: 9/14 (64%)
Girl Guesses: 10/10 (100%)
Total: 19/24 (79%)

[Wanting-a-girl]

Very good girl odd! :D I find out in 7 more sleeps!

[Inky]

good luck with your confirmation! I'm so excited for you!

So you guessed I have a 57-61% chance at having a girl. But I realized I put girl for ramzi when really I'm unsure. Can anyone look at these ultrasounds and guess please? One is from my previous pregnancy. Both transvaginal, 6-8 weeks. I'll definitely update when I find out this week! Thanks!

[hplnvf03]

Does being unsure or having a boy looking ramzi guess change my odds a lot?

[Inky]

your odds are 57% without ramzi and 61% with ramzi! But if you aren't sure (ie, going on the image, not on doctor confirming the side) it's best to go with 57%, which is still really good :)

[Inky]

Dreamofpink – 55% girl
aftmjt -- 51% girl

[hplnvf03]

I am so surprised you think 57% esp because I conceived so soon after a chemical pregnancy and had more CM and a higher sex drive. But I will take it! I did remember I do have an orgasm earlier that day before BDing. My OC thinks boy and I am convinced too!

[Inky]

Some factors get more points than others :)

Here are my updated odds from my other forum...

Boy Guesses: 9/14 (64%)
Girl Guesses: 11/11 (100%)
Total: 20/25 (80%)

[6bluewant1pink]

Thanks Inky on your guess for me. I sent Her a private message because She didn't see mine on here. And got back to me. Here is mine:
57% girl!

I will update once i find out :fx:

[hplnvf03]

Inky---you were right, it is a girl!!

[Inky]

Inky---you were right, it is a girl!!

congrats!!!

[Dreamofpink]

Dreamofpink &ndash; 55% girl

Thank you for the prediction :) I'll be back to update in a few months or so!

DLTA: 58% boy (but my boy guesses are terrible!)

Aw thank you inky, i really cant wait to find out. Only 3 weeks and 3 days till i do and ill pop back and update. I really wouldnt be suprised if you are right with this boy, we have a very long long history of all boys being born :) x

[Inky]

A girl would be such a nice addition for you, though, so sending you lots of girl dust! My husband's family had nearly no girls (90%+ boys over the last 3-4 generations) and then we ended up with TWO girls, so anything is possible :)

[DLTAG89]

Aw thank you, i know it means nothing but i'm now about 99% sure we will be having boy so i think you'll be right.

Ill pop back on the 3rd of may and update though :D

Tell me about your diet?
Followed LE diet but not v strictly.
I reduced intake of protein, fats and calories, in fact I decreased them too much as I lost a goodbit of weight but I had very little to loose. Calorie intake was usually 1300-1500 or else some days 1500-1900. (Im 6ft tall)
I ate 3 meals a day most days, but always had at least 14 hours between last meal in the evening and breakfast.
I changed from a huge bowl of cereal every morning to fruit - pears and or apples (sometimes peeled) with cinnamon or breakfast biscuit bars. I ate mainly vegetarian but had meat 1-2 times a week (turkey, sometimes chicken, and about once a fortnight had red meat - mince). I had the very odd bowl of cereal when I just couldnt fight it anymore!
All white bread, some processed foods such as biscuits when trying to up fat but not too often. Very low fat intake.
There were some weekends when visiting family etc when I had 1-2 days of just eating whatever I was given and not LE at all.
2 weeks complete cheat and eating basically HE over Christmas
The low fat/calories wasnt a massive change for me as I eat pretty much like that anyway for the last 5 years but I went even lower than normal with them.
Ate TONS of rice cakes and jam! Tons of crackers too.
Very high carbohydrate intake every day.
Never snacked at all except for over Christmas.
Tried to increase intake of Omega 6 fats which would be quite different for me.

Did you or your husband have any fertility issues? No

If you tried the "nub theory" did it suggest girl or boy? Too early

If you tried "ramzi theory" did it suggest girl or boy? Too early

Are there any other details you feel are relevant to your sway...?
No exercise as too little weight to lose, as recommended by Atomic.
Very active lifestyle, on my feet and moving all day with my work.
Had lost a few pounds over last year before I started the diet.
Lowest conception weight.
Weighed close to a stone lighter than when conceived DS and 11lbs lighter than when conceived
DD.
Wasnt planning on attempting until next month but had one attempt one morning and then got positive OPK that evening (second line same as control line)
another positive (line was darker than control line) the next date at 11am then negative opk by 6pm (usual testing time) that evening.
Up until then I had had no second line at all which I always do for a number of days, so thought O was a long way off.
Used a medium amount of durex lubricant as no EWCM at all.
Mirena coil was removed 12 days before O - a very speedy conception, never even got a period after Mirena removed!
Diet was not strict, plenty of cheat times.
Realised the breakfast biscuits I had been eating lots off had fortified nutrients in them, not as much as cereal but was sorry I had chosen them.
Because I had a low fat diet anyway when I tried to eat more Omega 6 fats I am afraid I was having more fat than before the LE diet. Even though it was still within the ranges as recommend by Atomic for me, it was probably more fat then I would have had before LE and therefore an increase. I did pull back from the Omega6 fats after a while because of that.
I didnt drop meat though I did stay within limits almost all of the time when I had it.
Worried I didnt reduce nutrients enough
Im an overthinker and a little bit of a Martha!
