Need Advice on Months to Sway

[illinoismom]

I have been on the LE diet with supplements, etc since April. June was the only month we were going to try for baby #4. Unfortunately, I did not get pregnant last month..boo :(

So...I hadn't thought about trying in July but EVERY Chinese gender chart says boy for July. The charts were right for my three other children so I tend to put faith in them.

What would you all do? Should I ignore them and just try anyway? THANKS!!

I would say ignore them anyway, what elements of your previous pregnancies have in common? I don't have much faith in the Chinese calendars, according to them my DS2 would have been a DD1!! Every OWT pointed to girl, but he is all boy!! I would say if your lifestyle is girl friendly, then you should stand a choice to hear girl!

Completely agree. Chinese gender charts are just for fun. The have been wrong for me! Go for it!

I totally agree too! They have been wrong for too. Good luck ttc and I hope thisis your month. :ttc:

I'm in the same boat as you. I hate this, but I also have faith in them because they have been correct with both of my boys. It's so hard trying to plan around it, it sucks!!! :( I don't even know what to tell you because I feel the same way. Good luck mama!!!

Sorry you did not get PG in June. I have to agree with others - ignore the Chinese gender calendars. It was correct for me too (I have 1 DS) but its got a 50/50 chance to be correct. If you are doing lots of other girl friendly stuff then that is more in your favour than a calendar. Good luck hon.

Thanks everyone! I don't know what to do...just sick of the diet, planning, supplements, etc. Oh well...good luck to you all and thanks for your help! :)

The Chinese gender chart is bunk. If it worked, there wouldn't be orphanages full of unwanted baby girls in China.

It does not matter if it is right for any one person. We did tons of polls here and on ig and there are always 50-50results. Right for some, wrong for some.

Chinese chart was wrong for me. I would just ignore it. It says boy for this month, and I want a girl.

[Mrsandmama]

I agree with the others. That crap is just that, crap.

Thanks! We are going to just try it this month and see what happens. I am really (as I am sure everyone is) OK with a boy if it is meant to be. I would rather get pg sooner rather than later. So I will give it our best shot with diet, etc. Good luck everyone!

Well this month didn't work anyway! We did try. I am wondering if I am doing too many things and my ph is too low. I don't really want to mess with testing it. Oh well...back to the diet....uggg ;)

Chinese gender calendar/biorhythms/full vs new moon/seasons & ions have all been debunked. Science has demonstrated that there is a slight increase in # of girls conceived vs boys in the months of March, April and May and the ratio of boys to girls is higher in the months of September - November. Here's Atomic's essay on the Seasons and Swaying: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/1693-seasons-swaying.html

If you are doing a sway already I certainly would *not* put off TTC until March just based on this though. :D Keep trying!
