Most likely it's the milder forms of AI conditions which sway blue, while the really severe cases that impact overall health and ability to function normally may sway pink, as very poor health can. Of course a big factor is probably whether the type of AI condition impacts fertility at all. If it does, I would think that would be more likely to sway pink, but generally most AI conditions, especially when mild in expression, don't directly affect fertility.

    I do really wonder at the mechanism for AI swaying blue - any theories, atomic? I have a niggling suspicion it's related to inflammation, which is present in many if not most AI conditions, and maybe sometimes that inflammation improves fertility?
    Interesting because I have eczema and 3 sons ... Perhaps around the whole inflammation side your more inclined to take high doses of evening primrose oil, omegas etc to reduce inflammation and thus having more boys. I know I took very high doses of epo, omegas and starflower oil.

    I'm telling ya - this is one of those things that people tell me again and again and while I can't back it up with data, enough people have told me that, that I'm convinced it means something...eczema and lots of boys. Truly a strange correlation there, and yes, there are people who have it and have girls, just that the overall trend is that way.

    I never took any of those things and have 4 boys. I think it's something to do with whatever is up with our bodies.

    Well, aspartame really does a huge number on the body in a negative way. I did alot of bad things when I conceived DD, so it is difficult to say if aspartame was influantial in any way. lol.

    As for eczema and other autoimmune diseases, it may not be the disease itself, rather, the foods that cause the autoimmune reaction. People with eczema are usually (but not always) heavy with dairy and grains, which both tend to have alot to offer from a nutritional perspective. Same is true for other autoimmune diseases. Most protocols have people eliminate these two items first and most see relief rather quickly.

    something to chew on, no pun intended ha!

    Well, that would be interesting to investigate.

    I have eczema from other causes. I've done every elimination food diet in the book and it's been pretty much my constant state of existence since I hit puberty except for the occasional time like now when I'm ill and it clears up. I am allergic to a lot of lotions and medicines, not so much foods. Plus, this is not only eczema but also other totally immune disorder things where I've noticed it. (particularly RA and Hashimoto's) I really think there is something there and it's something I would love, love, love to have the $$ to investigate it.

    My mom has autoimmune issues (colitis) and had 4 girls, no boys. My grandma also had autoimmune issues and had 2 girls and 1 boy. My mom drank a little diet soda when my sisters and I were conceived.

    I drank no soda when I got pregnant with my boys and don't have autoimmune issues that I know of.

    I just came across this and am surprised I never commented!

    I was ingesting a lot of aspartame and artificial sweeteners in general before DD (diet soda, those ICE drinks -- I drank SO many of those before DD), and I do happen to be in the autoimmune camp (Reynaud's, hypothyroidism), to the point that REs were treating me in that camp for awhile. Have been on none for this pregnancy.
