Lowering Testosterone Levels Naturally

I agree that it's not just because of your partner - I think some guys are more attracted to boy moms, others are more attracted to girl moms and so one guy can have the same gender with more than one lady and it doesn't necessarly mean that he's shooting more Y than X (and that's not even possible.)

That's not the way that stress works, rather than giving you a full explanation I need to actually write an essay on that but short version, stress can raise or lower testosterone depending on a lot of different things. Chronic, longterm stress actually lowers testosterone; it's actually not the stress he's under per se that would raise his T levels, it's the fact that he's in charge and has to be in control of a lot of different things simultaneouly, always meeting and overcoming challenges, that would be upping his T levels.

Higher testosterone can mean higher sperm count and more boys BUT that DOESN'T mean you can't get a girl. There are tons of ways to lower sperm count.

I have seen a trend where chefs seem to have more daughters so he may be "due" for one anyway LOL. Please don't despair, if you look at Gordon Ramsey he is constantly stressed and hollering but still has three daughters.

Hi!

I am new in this fourm but I have tried to read as much as I can here on how to successfully sway for a girl. I must say that this site is really great with lots of really good information!

I am now on the LE diet trying to lower my testestorone value and try to eat food that is good for swaying pink. I know that in some other diets it is recommended for you to eat pruns when trying for a girl. How is that in the LE diet, is that good or should that be avoided?

Thanks!

All foods are allowed in the LE Diet. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...l-version.html

Have you seen this Isadora? It's all the links to essays on various topics and I just updated it so even if you've seen it before, it's new and improved. ;)

Is there anything that can be done to increase testosterone? X

No I havent seen it, still trying to figure out how all functions on this site works and get as much information as possible. Thanks so much for highlighting this for me! I really appreciate all great info I get from you!

Hello. I am new to this forum and this is wonderful information! Thank you so much! I wish I had found this previous to trying with our most recent pregnancy.

I have a quick question about testosterone in women. I noticed several times you mentioned higher testosterone in women being better for trying for a girl. Am I reading that correctly? And if so, what are some ways to raise testosterone in women?

Thank you so much!

No, it's LOWER testosterone is (probably) good for a girl. Higher testosterone is (probably) good for a boy. To be honest, I'm not totally convinced that is what is really swaying and there is a lack of satisfactory data as of yet, but because I don't have a word for whatever it is, I continue calling it testosterone simply for the sake of convenience. :)

In this thread, look under "Testosterone" and there are several essays on how to raise/lower it http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ete-index.html

Maybe the chefs have more girls thing could in part be due to heat stress from standing next to hot ovens day in day out?

Atomic, does it make sense to try to reduce my testosterone levels (I have lean form of PCOS and high testosterone) in preparation to my HT? Will this improve getting embies of the right gender (hoping pink)? Thanks so much!

I am trying to sway pink and recently (about 4 months ago) began doing yoga 3 days/week. This has significantly reduced my stress level and I feel so much better. With my son, I did not exercise at all. I maintain a pretty healthy (lactose/dairy free) free diet, but am attempting to loose a few pounds before we try and TTC for a girl in 3 weeks. Should I give up yoga or continue? I am going to discontinue my multivitamin and fish oil supplements and add calcium-mag, folic acid, zyrtec, baby aspirin or cranberry and switch to a different probiotic. Right now I have been taking align, but I think I will try the acidolphilus. I am considering joining as a dream member to view your LE diet. I have really enjoyed reading your posts.

I don't think it will make a difference in terms of gender, but it may for egg quality, and it certainly can't hurt anything.

(sorry I only just now spotted this)

While I do always appreciate the Dream Memberships because it helps me to be able to do this as a job instead of having to work outside the home, and also helps to support the site financially, I did want to let you know there is a short version of LE available for free. The link in my signature has all my essays in one place for easy browsing and you want the LE Nutshell version

DROP probiotics, we got terrible results with them and now only use them for boy sways.

I can't tell you what to do on the yoga - I honestly do not have the quality of data that enables me to draw a conclusion about that and in that case, I think it's best if you go with your own gut instinct.

Agree and a lot of chefs are also high caffeine/alcohol users and smokers.

I am thinking of lowering my testosterone levels now even though I do not plan to sway for many many months. Reason being is I know I must have high testosterone due to physical and emotional traits.
Men cry less due to having more testosterone (I read some studies) and I myself hardly ever cry and I wish I could because I feel like I need to sometimes as a form of relief. My partner is being a real douche-bag lately and if I could cry maybe he would realise how much he is hurting me. It takes ALOT to make me cry and it feels strange like I am emotionless even though I know that's not true

Some studies have shown no correlation between T levels and behavior in women, only in men. A couple others found very minor affects but only when women were given supplemental testosterone. So I don't want you to read too much into that because it may have nothing to do with anything.

Sorry to hear your partner is being an assbutt!!! :(

If you suspect pcos but have regular periods or ovulation is lowering testosterone a good thing if it makes egg quality better?

I'm doing low everything loosely too but pcos style and I feel like I'm more healthy than I was before. I've lost 7lbs in a few weeks with no exercise but wondering if I should introduce exercise now. We are ttc already :)

I ALWAYS recommend exercise for PCOS (even suspected.) Aside from testosterone there is some info that blood sugar levels may sway and exercise will help lower those. They tend to run higher in people with PCOS and thus even if you can't get up to the full exercise recommendation it is worth it for you.

I used to not have people start exercising once actively TTC but the blood sugar aspect may be bigger than we realize and the exercise can help with that right away.

The issue is that are you losing too much? You may stop ovulating.

Don't think I'm losing too much as its come off very slowly and my bmi's still in the middle of healthy so not concerned about that. In fact loosing weight is just an added bonus as I'm still above my comfortable pre pregnancy weight.

Thanks for advice about exercise. I am going to invest in an exercise bike as I feel I'll get more time to do it at home while I have my ds then going out walking/jogging. Will start exercise Asap :) :)
