I am so confused...

The seasons may matter a tiny bit and you can read about that here: https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...s-swaying.html I would not personally hold off for that reason, swaying matters far more, this is just a few percentage points. I got my daughter in the boy peak months and 2 boys in the girl peak so that shows you about how well it works. :)

It is not temperature that matters, it's probably something to do with day length. if the temperature mattered the peak would be in wintertime. Another site claims winter sways blue but that is not based on science at all, unlike the seasonal peak we're referring to, which is based on a couple of very well done studies.

Length on diet matters by far and away more than seasons. We don't even know how seasons work, and since I think the evidence indicates it is probably day length and not temperature, it would be a step in the wrong direction to shortchange yourself on diet (which we KNOW time on diet matters because we've seen it in our results) in favor of a theory which we are guessing as to how it works.

Exercise is one of our best sway tactics but given your low weight you'll need to boost food intake to compensate. :)

Thank you so much for clearing that up for me!

I am getting a bit overwhelmed.. now i read in an old thread that allergies may sway blue because when you have allergies you produce more mucus and have higher levels of cortisol. I have a pretty bad allergy to horses and mild allergy to cats, dust and grass. I have a hernia, also causes inflammation. So then i started reading about cortisol and how you should lower it and it says you have to eat nutrient rich foods and drink no coffee or alcohol.. drink black thee instead. Soooo confusing.

What about a herb like ashwagandha? It says to be an adaptogen. When something like cortisol is too high it lowers it and vice versa.

Or red reishi mushrooms.. they inhibit testosterone. And rhodiola reduces cortisol as well.

Please just do what has worked for most people most of the time. We don't know how cortisol sways anyway. There is evidence pointing both ways and also a lot of evidence that indicates it's totally neutral.

PLEASE do not start taking a bunch of herbs. We do not know how they sway and if they are safe.

if you link me to the thread I can read and comment on it. Many of the old threads were from before we knew what we know now and our results are higher than ever before, so we are on the right track now and the old days were much less successful.

Many of us with all boys have allergies and autoimmune diseases. (myself included and I actually got my daughter when my autoimmune disease had already started...and it CAUSES inflammation.) We don't know why. But we are still getting good results with swaying the way that we do things and I find that the more "experimental" people get, the worse their results. People who take various herbs have their cycles get very irregular, they take much longer to get pregnant, have more miscarriages, and none of the herbs people have taken for swaying have worked.

But we don't even KNOW that testosterone sways. Clomid raises testosterone and it's one of the best sway tactics that we have.

The fact is, we don't know how swaying works. Some people think it's testosterone, but it has never been proven. So it is really a huge step in the wrong direction for people to go out and find herbs that are supposed to lower testosterone, when we don't even know if testosterone is swaying, and what's worse, if those herbs have other effects that could undermine your sway, you would be hurting your sway by taking them regardless of how they affect testosterone.

I ONLY want you guys taking herbs I have seen many people take and get their desired gender. As it sits now, NO herbs (not for pink OR for blue) have worked in any consistent and reliable way and all the herbs have messed up people's cycles, prevented conception, and even possibly caused miscarriages.

Just do what has worked for most people most of the time - diet, exercise, one attempt, Clomid or Femara if you can get them, and then for DH, jogging/biking, smoking if he does already, possibly olive leaf extract and soy milk.

Can you take clomid safely without consulting your doctor as i am pretty sure here in the Netherlands they wont give it to you without being tested and found less fertile..

Technically you aren't supposed to. Some people still take it anyway. it's available in some other countries freely over the counter or they order it online.

Hi atomic, quick question. I have been on the diet since july. We wanted to start trying in october. But from 30 sept till 5 oct we are going on a holiday in a hot country plus normally hubby rides his bike 80 min per day and during our holiday he wont. Do you think we should wait till november? Thank you soooo much (: (ttc pink)

No, please do not postpone any longer. That short period of time doesn't matter.

And to start 60 min cardio everyday from now till mid oct? Too late? Only excersize i did so far is the normal taking care of a three year old kind... thank you so much in advance
