I was wondering, I know clomid etc sway girl, and I know older ladies are more likely to conceive girls, but is this because of the increased FSH levels, artificially with clomid and naturally with age?

boring and unsatisfying answer - we don't know!

The hormones are all linked very closely together and without more study we just can't say what hormone is swaying (and I doubt it's just one.)

IF as some believe, estrogen is partially responsible, FSH and estrogen are linked and along with FSH rising (due to fewer eggs), lower estrogen (due to fewer eggs) would also be making less CM. So it could happen coincidentally and not because of higher FSH.
