She has seen the results with IVF so I'd say, yes, very much so! I have no idea what the actually study was though.Quote:

Can you take pill form of olive leaf? How many mg?
Just reading this thread but I STRONGLY urge that people do not try and sway and go HT at the same time. Taking folic acid and Vit. C will probably not hurt anything but you want maximum fertility in both man and wife when going HT and screwing around with supps, abstain, etc. will only diminish the number of viable embryos you get at the end of the process and do NOTHING to alter gender ratio. The mechanisms that alter gender ratio take place after ejaculation and have to do with the enviro of the female reproductive tract and the overall health and numbers of sperm themselves - how long they take to capacitate, etc. You bypass ALL these things when you go IVF and put some already-capacitated sperm in with an egg. So you trade something that doesn't even sway for potentially reducing your number of viable embryos because honestly, we DON'T know how all these supps really affect sperm and most of the pink swaying tactics are not great for sperm anyway.
Also, please check with your OWN RE to see if they are ok with you taking any supps. Some REs do not want you to take a lot of supps anyway.
The only sure way to change the gender ratio of embryos when going HT is via Microsort.
DON'T sway and go HT.
My research indicates that nutrients in women sway blue, not pink.Quote:
