I don't know that this is true. I can't find info on it anywhere.
I'm 5'11 and 130 lbs and have 3 boys. Only two pregnancies but still 3 boys.
No fat on that woman just silicon and filler.
Ladies don't lose hope I am only 5ft and had 4 boys. That's up and down and side to side by the way! lol
Um yeah I don't just say things like that without data.Quote:

I am only 5-4 and have 4 boys, that does not mean you are doomed to have all girls.
Tall people can have girls and short people can have boys, it's just an overall trend that direction.
This is true for all mammals too btw because big males are better at getting mates. There is a section in one of Richard Dawkins books about it.
Also grease monkey from ig is only 4-10 and has two boys
I'm a little ass backwards too lol. I'm 4'11 and will soon have 4 boys. My heaviest conception weight was 108lbs (DS2) and lowest was 89lbs with this pregnancy. I still very much believe in the science behind the genders we have but I'm just an exception to the general rule. Someone has to break the rules, right???Quote:

Example (just meant as illustration, this is how much I feel like I had chances of boy)
Boy 1 - 80-20 odds of blue
Boy 2 65-35 odds of blue
Boy 3 90-10 odds of blue
Boy 4 70-30 odds of blue
DD 20-80 odds of blue, and then I got lucky and hit the 80% and not the 20% (20% is still a heck of a lot of boys). Could easily have gone the other way.

I have several books on evolution and reproduction that have info that is not always online, I'm not asking anyone to accept anything I say on blind faith of course but I just want everyone to know that I don't pull stuff out of my behind, I have reasoning and/or evidence behind everything I say beyond any observation. :)
I am 5'11", 160 lbs, and I have one of each. This will sound strange - although I swayed for my boy, I have a feeling that what really happened is I swayed for my girl. I had just lost 20+ lbs and was doing cardio like a mad woman when I conceived her, and doing the TW diet was 100% EASY for me.
