Introducing myself - a few questions.

I'm sure the whole thing is just a 50/50 shot. The fact that some families have just sons or just daughters probably just had to do with the probability of having either gender of child is not dependent on what genders one has previous had but it's fun to try for a specific gender and it's interesting to read the statistics and maybe there is something to all of it! It's like sexy science!

What about position or shallow vs deep penetration? Have we seen any kind of correlation? That is the most suggested thing to me- missionary position with shallow penetration. I usually prefer deep penetration and usury do either woman on top or doggy style so that could be a contributing factor I guess? When I conceived both of my boys I was losing weight as well. Actually with both I was right around 141 lbs! Must be a fertile weight for me! I'm general about 157 without diet so it's not a huge difference. Currently I am not dieting but usually when i do I go for higher nutrient lower calorie. Lots of fortified foods and lots of vitamins. I will even replace entire meals with super nutrition bars or juice so I think that could have contributed to the boys theoretically. It will be interesting and I can hardly wait to get started! I've learned so much on here in the past couple of days in a year when we try I will be a professional lol.

I do need to go back over everything but I think most of it has held up pretty well over time.

I know - I've only run into a thing or 2 that i thought was a good tactic and wrote into my plans and then people advised me that I should drop it. You have done such an amazing job. That library is fricken amazing. Hope you didn't take offence to my comment to this poster; I think this whole operation is very impressive.

I lost weight with my boys too - but I did it the "right way" that has been ingrained into me - where I ate 4-6 meals a day with protien at most meals and worked out like crazy. I did lose weight and I toned way up. Got down to 123. Lowest I've been since high school. I was a size 4 dress. But I got my boy.

IMO- If it's not proven to work, but takes minimal effort and can't hurt (like putting a wooden spoon under the bed or whatever, sleeping or BDing with a fan on, wearing certain stones for ions, etc) Even if it's probably a load of crap and a half, I'll go ahead and do it because it's can't hurt and takes minimal effort!!!
If pH testing is not causing you undue stress, I would do it. I have no clue as I have never tested the pH of my vagina but I tested the pH of things in Chem Lab and it wasn't terribly involved or stressful. So maybe? If it's not causing stress?
On another note, I wonder if pH has anything to do with the smell.. (gross, I know, but we're biological creatures and biology is gross, so...)... I def notice after DTD, right after AF, or after washing with too much soap down there a "sweeter" smell... But other times during my cycle there is a milder smell to the CM... Maybe if anyone else noticed that as well there may be a correlation between CM smell and CM pH? And, if that's the case, wouldn't it be easier to test CM pH (and far less stressful) by just taking a whiff?

(Seriously I'm not trying to gross anyone out. Sorry if this is gross.)

No, it's not a 50-50 shot and this has been proven in hundreds of studies. Over the entire population it averages out to be about 50-50 but if you look at someone like Michelle Duggar, who had a long run of BG mixed, then a long run of B, then a long run of G (all longer than most of us even have kids) it becomes apparent that it is possible for us to be "set" for boys or girls at different times in our life. I have an essay here. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/sway...-part-1-a.html If it were really 50-50 we would not be getting the results we are. When a few easy to make changes in diet and exercise habits is yielding 75% success rates for years at a time, then that means something is altering the gender ratio.

I feel like shallow vs. deep has gained nothing but BFN. Doesn't seem to help anything. Positions - every blue sway opposite came from doggy style because that was the old-school "magic" boy position. Most people do end up avoiding it for TTC a girl, but you can get a girl from any position.

THe things that work are diet longer than 12 weeks, exercise, one attempt, Clomid if you can get it. Worrying about positions and shallow release is like worrying about the menu while the restaurant is burning down. :)

No not at all, just wanted to clarify. There is a LOT of room for improvement and updating that I would love to do, but it's just a matter of nuthin and I having somewhat balanced lives as well. :)

THis is a TMI free zone!

Again, remember - don't worry about the menu when the restaurant is burning down!

We saw so many pH opposites (including my own - got my 4th boy with a pH of 4.5) going both directions, that it became impossible for us to believe that testing pH is of any benefit whatsoever. I really advise against it because back when i was on Ingender, it was a CONSTANT source of tension for people. People would be panicking in tears over tiny meaningless fluctuations in pH and it is just BETTER to do what works and not WORRY about the tracking and the monitoring. WE have gotten better and better results with the more of that jazz that we drop.

Scientific case against pH and swaying here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ph-pickle.html

It's not the testing of the pH that is stressful, it's the importance that people put onto it. The drama that occurs when women who started off eminently sensible people see a slightly different color on a pH stick and it is as if a meteor is headed at the earth or something.

I really feel that it's the diet and exercise (diet for sure... Not that it's for sure for sure lol) that's the number one big change for me.... And I can't get Clomid out of my head.... I still want it so bad.... Oh to be younger!!!

Remember, it may be that for those of us "of a certain vintage" our odds of pink go up a little all on their own anyway. :)

nobody needs Clomid to get a DD. If they did, the entire human race would have died out a long time ago.
