have I left my sway too late???

[jennypenny]

Feeling a bit confused. Since the start of the year, i have been intending to diet, exercise etc early summer to begin trying to conceive late summer. However, holidays were delayed (didn't want to do diet while on holiday!!) Due to my husband's work.

We have just arrived back home and I have started my sway plan (plan to do 3 months on diet, exercise etc) But, I now realise that this will mean we will be trying to conceive in October onwards, which from what I have read may be boy making months!

My son's were conceived in September and December, so do you think this would mean I am not likely to conceive another boy in Autumn/winter?

Or would a strong sway counteract this ? Rather confused! Don't really want to put it off to spring, but don't want to have any regrets x

My first born dd was concieved in September & my 2nd dd was concieved in the end of October... I think your fine!!

Atomic will say seasons don't matter and of course everyone has conceived boy/ girls in all seasons. For me personally my 4 guys were conceived in fall/winter and I am staying away! Lol missed spring so its summer or nothing for me. I figure I have 50/50 shot either way and any sway tatic I use is just upping my chances a tiny lil bit. Either way so might as well get my baby faster lol

That's great to hear thank you.

Just getting paranoid!! Hopefully all the main lifestyle changes will be affective enough for me x

[jennypenny]

Who knows anyway, this is me assuming I will conceive immediately again when it could take me longer than before.

Thank you for your replies xxx

[sisterplease]

For me personally...all 5 of my boys were conceived between March and August. Both daughters conceived in January. If I was trying for another baby, I'd be sticking to the colder half of the year!

Swaying is much more important than months. It's just one little thing where if you can get it to work out, great, if not, don't even worry about it.

I got my girl with swaying in a "boy month" and two of my boys in girl months so I wouldn't even worry about it.

[jennypenny]

Thanks everyone, common sense tells me that different genders are conceived at throughout all seasons.

I suppose it's just the mind set of doing things completely differently to when I conceived my boys that makes me worry.

But when I factor in all the sway factors, I am sure I will relax about it x

I don't have answers for you all I can tell you is our experience...

DH was conceived,roughly based on his b-day given he was full term: August
I was conceived, roughly based on my birth date: October
DS#1 was conceived in November
DS#2 in December
DS#3 in September
DD#1 in March

Both our sons were conceived around the same time which was late May for our youngest and early June for our eldest. Personally I won't be trying around that time of year again lol.

Thanks, that kind of backs up what I had been thinking may happen.

My first pregnancy (ended in miscarriage at 8weeks) was conceived mid summer from one attempt and I was really dieting at that point. I always wondered if that was a girl. Didn't help that my mother in law, recently said that it was probably a girl I lost and that some women can only sustain one gender of pregnancy (Load of crap I know!)

[twointow83]

If it makes you feel any better our only girl so far was a loss, so you are definitely not alone. Thankfully, we had testing done so we know what happened makes it a teensy bit easier to swallow.

The seasonal effect is MINISCULE, whereas the diet and time on the diet are the biggest/most effective and essential sway factors. Exercise is next, then one attempt. Most other factors you can control are not worth thinking about let alone worrying over!

What an evil woman! I'm so sorry you have to endure that behaviour and from your own MIL no less. I look forward to you proving her wrong!

[jennypenny]

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead with the sway for Autumn again and just ensure that I do the rest of the elements to the best of my ability.

Most of what my mother in law says is nonsense so it didn't surprise me. She actually suffered really bad gender disappointment herself after 2 boys as she was told for health reasons not to have any more. I'm guessing she has convinced herself of this to make herself feel better.

I answered the season question in the other thread.

It's always good to remember that much of what people say is from their own biases and hurts done over the course of a lifetime. :/
