Changing the odds

[Dynazyme]

Are there actually any statistics. How much can we change the odds for a specific gender?

Let´s say if one does a "perfect" girl-sway (diet, supplements, timing, hubby stuff ...) how high are the chances for a girl. Instead of 50 %; is it 55 %, 65 % or even higher ....??

Thanks!!!

I personally think 80% is the highest any pink swayers can get - with clomid, diet, exercise, 1 attempt, lowering pH somehow, and some supps for DH. Without the clomid (but doing the rest), probably 70% is the best you could hope for.

it's finger in the air, though

No matter what, it's better than doing nothing. You can't expect a different outcome by repeating the same thing over and over.

If you need a guarantee, use IVF.

You know over on IG they had something like this...but it ended up getting pulled down because Tamara got a lot of flack over it. I just think there's no real way of putting numbers on something like this...that we're not exactly sure of in the first place. There are some stats in the TTC girl section, really just what was included in the sway and the outcome, so you can have a look at what looks like might "work" for others and yourself. GL!

I don't really love this train of thought because I think that it's all a bit misleading. Those of us who are boy moms are not necessarily coming into conceiving with a 50-50 chance at a girl. We may be as much as 80% likely to have boys just by virtue of having boy lifestyles (that's about what the blue swayers are getting in terms of success rate). For someone who goes from 80% likely to have a boy, to 50-50, that is still a HUGE improvement but it doesn't register as such in people's minds.

The numbers are going to be different for every person depending on where you start off from and how much is really truly set and out of people's control (like personality factors, etc)

God bless her, because it wasn't her fault and she was just trying to help people, but she got kinda cornered into this situation where she would say, "timing sways by X%, diet sways by y%, pH sways by Z% and of course that's just not proven and would vary by person anyway, she was just going off what her opinion was. That stuff all got taken down.

We would really have to have 100,000 genetically identical couples to experiment on, and we would have to imprison them in order to remove all variables from the equation LOL

The thing is, each of our bodies is different. Even with IVF, you can't get real odds. You can see what a clinic averages but it's really not possible to assign each individual real odds tied to anything because there are so many unknowns going in. Swaying is the same. What we try to do here is to provide the interpretation of all of the scientific and anecdotal data that we have and have and tell you - here is how I would approach it. For someone tgat has 3,4,5 of a kind, their odds going in are zero. With our cumulative swaying info, their next attempt is way better than that.

We will never be one of those sites that claims 94% success rates. That's just ridiculous and a lie. I know we are increasing your chances though. I can see that with the results thus far.

agree 110% and that's a good way to discern the things that are real from the things that are too good to be true. :) If any sway tactic could ever be 90+ % effective, it would be so obvious that the entire world would have already figured it out.
