I have 30-31 days cycles and have two boys so far...
I am usually 31 and have a 50/50 split :)
I've also had long cycles for as long as I can remember and I have two boys. My cycles got longer when I started to sway as well & I'm now expecting ds3. Sorry but I don't think there's too much in it.

I am usually 31 and have a 50/50 split :) I do believe that it was a natural variation between he/le that split it more than anything else but worth loking into:agree:
Hi when i conceived my boys my cycles were 31days and o'ed on calander day 17, my cycle has been all over the place for the last 9 months after coming off bcp im hoping that is a good sign for me! X x x
Mine are regular as can be 29 days, ovulate on day 15-16. But, the cycle I conceived my daughter on (post-bf cycle) was funky. I think I tried to ovulate on day 15 but failed and then actually ovulated on day 18. So it would have been longer (LP is usually 13-14 days).
First of all, 31 days is not a long cycle. That is a normal cycle. Oing on CD 17-18 is not unusual or "abnormal" in any way. It is normal for cycles to go anywhere from 21-35 days (3-5 weeks), and some sources even increase that to 42 days (6 weeks) if that is a person's regular cycle and they aren't irregular.
To answer your question, conceiving girls or boys has nothing to do wiht the length of your cycle per se, it's the underlying REASON why a person has short or long cycles that may sway. There is more than one reason why cycles could be short or long.
Long cycles due to PCOS seem to be correlated with more sons conceived. Women with PCOS have higher testosterone levels.
Long cycles due to hypothalamic amenorrhea (where your body stops ovulating or yoru cycles get longer due to diet, exercise, excessive stress and this lowers estrogen) seems to be correlated with more daughters conceived.
Irregular cycles can be caused by any or all of the above. It is common for people with both PCOS and HA to have no cycle for months and then to have a few normal ones and then back to spotty ones again.
Women with normal "short" if you'd like to use that term (because what I think of as a short cycle may be anovulatory and caused by LOW estrogen and is affiliated with menopause, not the type of cycle I think you're talking about), may have a lot of estrogen that speeds up the process from egg to ovulation, and that same estrogen makes a lot of really fertile CM that seems to sway more blue.
But again, that's just a coincidence, it's not that their cycles in and of themselves are doing a thing, it's that conceiving in a month when you have a lot of nice EWCM may make it more likely that you conceive a boy, and that is more likely to happen in a month when everything is running like clockwork and you have a normal length cycle.
There are a LOT of reasons why a person might have all boys and all girls and the biggest of them is LUCK.
My cycles have always been 31 days- I have 2 boys.
