This is an article I read about stress and testosterone...the better we understand how stress affects our hormones, the better we will be able to manipulate it for swaying purposes:
Stress and Testosterone Levels
Stress is not all bad for a girl sway, I don't think I realized that until recently. But I think its one of those things, where you have to look at your life and circumstances to analyze what type of stress you have, and ironically, the type that sways pink is the type that you would possibly say "this is a really bad time to have a baby!" LOL

Stress is not bad for pink at all. Far from it for all the reasons you already mentioned.
Swaycession, on the other hand, seems to sway blue in a pretty big way.
Now, I've seen some people who were completely "swaycessed" who did get girls anyway. but as a general rule it's best to avoid the kind of detail-oriented stress that seems to come from attempting to have a perfect sway.

Atomic, I got hooked by your comment on your personal theories about girl moms and boy moms. When you find the time, couldn't you explain your theories in more detail? I don't think you would hurt anyone's feelings but it might be interesting to hear your opinion on that.
Update: I found some interesting threads on Stress, Swaycession and Obssession which sort of answer all my doubts.

They're all on here Carol...in one form or another! :)
People have gotten quite put out so I've decided to focus on more practical stuff for now. I LOVE writing essays and I wish I had more time to do it! :)

These aren't my writing, but you may find them interesting and if you read the comments you will see why I have given up discussing the issue unless someone forces me into it. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/scie...der-ratio.html I never went back to finish this essay because it just seems best to let it drop and focus on diet and lifestyle, but you may find the discussions on this thread interesting as well.http://genderdreaming.com/forum/scie...ypothesis.html

This thread has been fascinating
And for the first time, something rang a bell with me about the time I conceived my daughter. I have always felt that getting pregnant with her was a 'fluke' I know I have nothing scientific to back that up but it's always been a feeling I had. And for years now I have tried to figure out what I did differently with her that I didn't do with my five boys, my first thought was timing- most of my boys have been conceived on O day or the day before and I'm pretty sure my daughter was conceived around three days before O, but I was never really convinced by this.
Then I joined here and learned about maternal condition, and a little bell rang in my head because shortly prior to conceiving her I had been on a vlcd and had lost weight (though I was still pretty overweight the time) and I do think now that that had a lot to do with it
But when reading this I suddenly remembered something, when I got my bfp with her I was over the moon, I felt calm and serene, the pregnancy wasn't planned but I had no worries about it at all. Then when we told people we got a lot of negative comments about being pg with no.4, but they didn't bother me...I told everyone that I was thrilled and that they could either be supportive or they could shut up. Now so far none of this is very enlightening, except that every other time I've been preganant with each of my five boys I have gotten a bfp and then had a bit of a panic! Even when they had been planned and I had been ttc and desperate to be pg I would worry about if we were doing the right thing, if we would cope, what people would say etc etc (although of course I was always thrilled to be pg too, and I was happy just a bit nervous too)
I just remember the night I found out I was pregnant with her, I stood in the shower with my hand on my tummy and I felt happier than I ever had before, I didn't stop grinning for days and nothing fazed me. Even friends commented on how calm and serene I was when I was pg, and then everyone said it was because I had finally got my girl, but how would I have known that so early on?
It makes me think that rather than being pg with my girl changing my temperament, maybe my calmer temperament was what got me pg with my girl?
Now I know the plural of anecdote is not data lol but it has certainly got me thinking
