    Yes, not sure I really think it makes that much difference i.e. the seasons. But I guess I would like to conceive away from winter to see if we can get a girl so may be I will just avoid May to July.

    Well, the interesting thing is that the closer you get to the equator, more girls are conceived!!! The seasons are less important if you live nearer the equator.

My new boy turns 1 in February so as we are getting older I would like to start ttc around this time. But I think for me Sept/ Oct/Nov are the better months for ttc a girl but I really don't think I will have my sway started in time as I am still BF so don't have my period yet and to be honest I am so tired from having a new baby that the thought of starting my sway at this time is just to hard for me.

    I think ideally I should wait until Sept/Oct/Nov of 2012 but its so far away. So my question is do I start ttc early next year running into our winter again when I conceived my boys or do people think it would be much better to wait until spring/summer 2012 to try and conceive at a different time of year to my boys?

    My sister just had a girl who was conceived at exactly the same time as her twin boys so maybe it really doesn't matter? There is no much to think about with this sway business and I try to think that seasons won't matter but as I have 2 boys conceived in winter it worries me to conceive in winter again. It just unfortunate that when I will be ready to ttc again its going to be winter. What a pain as I don't really want to wait for over a year to ttc our last baby.
    I think it's MUCH better to TTC with what the data indicates and what also seems to make sense...that baby boys have better odds of survival when they are born in late spring/early summer and so something in your body responds to environmental cues and makes you more likely to TTC a boy in Sept/Nov in the Northern Hemisphere, Mar-May in the southern. Your body has no clue when you TTC your last kids, but it does have a clue how long the days are and whether the temperature outside is warm or cold and how much Vit. D it's been making from sunshine. THAT'S what it responds to and that is what is doing the swaying, not some mystical property of one month over another, but what is going on inside your body and what gives your baby the best shot at surviving.

    That "do the opposite" idea gets bandied about a lot on swaying sites. But the problem is that doing the opposite on some of these things is only going to make you MORE boy friendly than you were to start with. If you were so boy friendly that you conceived a boy in a "girl" time of year in the first place, conceiving again in a "boy" time of year isn't going to cure that at all, it's only going to make it harder for swaying to overcome that setting. It's all about maximizing your odds, not doing the opposite. It is highly unlikely that your personal body just happens to work opposite to everyone elses, KWIM??

    I have TWO boys conceived in March and I would STILL conceive in March-May again if I wanted a girl.

    PS - I just wanted to let you guys know that it almost gave me physical pain to accept that the seasons really might have a role to play in swaying. I didn't want to believe it and argued against it at first, but the data really does seem to be supported by science and even more importantly, makes SENSE from an evolutionary perspective.

    Just wanted to say again how awesome I find this post. It rings so true for me. Conceived my ds very end of oct and conceived my dd very end of Feb. So next time will try for a girl in march or April and hopefully if I get a chance to, I will eventually sway for another boy in oct.

    I also agree about the not doing the opposite of what u have done in the past in this case. You will just be making urself even more boy friendly. In my opinion. Great advice atomic!!!

    Thank you Babydust!!! Hey, since we were in the same DD group, you can def. back me up on the fact that most of the swayers did indeed conceive baby girls (even those who wanted boys!!)

    How important do you guys think the seasons have to do with swaying? I was planning on TTC for a girl starting in November which is boy time. I can push it back a couple more months if you think it would make a big difference. I just wanted the spacing closer together with my son, and I'm also afraid it may take me a long time to get pregnant. Thanks for any advice.
