the seasons and swaying

Supposedly they corrected for socioeconomic strata - but yeah.

Just adding my experience- my older son was conceived in February and my younger son was conceived in May. But I get pregnant quickly, so it may just be the fertility factor.

Thanks! yes it's just one little thing that may help a bit. I got 2 boys in "girl" months and my girl in "boy" month. :)

What's the best month to conceive a boy in Chicago weather? I got a girl baby conceived in August.

as far as we know Sept-Nov are boy months in the temperate zones of the N. Hemisphere.

Just wanted to note that my custom plan for ttc girl advises that ttc a girl months are Sept-Nov but this is actually for the Southern Hemisphere. The U.S. and mostly everywhere else is the Northern Hemisphere. I actually conceived in October so hoping this little sway option doesn't affect my sway but just wanted to note so it can be changed for future plans.

Girl peak months in the Southern Hemisphere are Sept-Nov, boy peak in
Mar-May. This is not a make or break thing and no magic bullet in any
way, but if you have the option of when to TTC, it can’t hurt and may
help.

Northern Hemisphere: March through May

Southern Hemisphere: Sept through Nov.

Around the equator more girls are conceived than should be statistically for reasons no one knows (but still about 50-50)

I may have made an error in your plan in which case I apologize? I'm not quite sure I follow this question.

So I’ve seen no one say they’ve tried for a baby in January! Is that a bad month? I want to sway boy in Jan/feb so I would think that’d be good for cooler male parts?

Because it's likely that darker winter weather sways pink, it is not the ideal time to sway for a boy. The way the months work is that during Mar-May, in the Northern Hemisphere, there is both a peak of girl conceptions and a trough of boy conceptions making a measurable statistical difference between the number of boys and girls conceived. The studies have found this seems to be consistent year in and year out (which is why we pay attention to it). So January, by virtue of being in the dark, cold months and closer to the peak of girl conceptions and the trough of boy conceptions, is going to be less beneficial to conceiving a boy than say, August would be. "cooler male parts" doesn't seem to make much of a difference overall, unfortunately.

But all that having been said, it's a minor statistical difference and there are still plenty of boys conceived in January. The seasons are just one of those things we pay attention to since it's interesting and all, but if it doesn't work out, no worries. I got my girl in "boy peak" and 2 boys in "girl peak" months so there ya go.
