Worried it's Boy#4 Because Late Ovulation

[Throwaway_panther]

Oh wow, the late ovulation bit is interesting -- I conceived a girl (albeit with an LE lifestyle) after ovulating "a week late" after just coming off birth control and reestablishing a cycle (so my EDD by ultrasound is a week later than my EDD by LMP).

That said, as others have said -- timing/frequency is only one portion of swaying, and honestly doesn't seem as big a factor as diet and lifestyle. And even then, with all of these factors, you always still have a chance at a girl no matter what!

Thanks for your reply. That makes sense. The theory about "old egg" being unhealthy has to do with its viability early on, not life-lasting problems right?

Yes. Eggs are a single cell, they are not capable of sustaining damage and then being ok/fertilizable after that. Egg would be unfertilizable or end in a chemical. The type of chromosomal damage that can lead to problems healthwise for a child happen over the course of your life verryy slowwlly.

Additionally, that was only ever a theory to start with and has been unproven. Additionally additionally, that's people who are in cycles that are months and months long!!! Like 6 months without ovulating!!! Not a few days later!

Delayed O coming off BCP is another thing that could potentially sway pink.

Those long O's possibly = more boys is due to PCOS, not those kinds of things.

I agree with atomic, seems like you have some good girl swaying factors for this little one.

In my case, Dd#3 was a 10 day delayed ovulation, with multiple attempts. I do think my diet/ exercise was the biggest part of why we she was a she, but I do think that it was just a pinker cycle all together!

Good luck!

Thank you, Bre! That makes me feel better

THANK YOU! That really is a relief to hear! I appreciate all your responses and I feel decently optimistic now that this really could be a girl!
