Good luck!!! keep me updated lol

GREAT thread!!! I am a huge stresser and control freak. My mom and stepmom are both much more laid back and have girls. There were a couple threads on IG about this and for the most part, the control freaks (regardless of stress levels) have the most boys.

I personally think that chronic, long-term stress where things are out of your control, sways pink but stress where you feel like you are in control or even just desperately trying to be in control, sways blue.

There is one study that was done in primates where the animals were taken out of the habitat (where they had to fight all day long for food and dominance) and put into separate cages and they had WAY WAY more daughters.

I dropped all games, sports and things of a competitive nature (even games on the Wii against DH). I hoping dropping that form of stress will have helped.

I do too! FAB job giving up the Wii - even little things like that can make a difference.

I actually played the Wii this weekend and I was SHOCKED at how uncompetitive I was. I have never in my life not tried to win at a game and been angry and disappointed to lose (almost to an embarrassing degree). I really really didn't care at all. I am so curious what my T levels are like right now!!

I'm always stressed out. I would worry about everything.

I'm another stressed out control freak and I have two boys.

I stress about EVERYTHING and I have a DS!

I'm the worlds biggest stresser / worrier & I have 2 dds

Before kids.. not a big stresser, I don't really stress in general just my personality. After DH came in my life I became pretty high stress with his major PMS (pissy male syndrome) streaks all the time, after 2 kids in 2 years my stress level is at a constant high. When DS1 was concieved I was really stressed as we were moving to the other side of the world and DH was getting a new job, with DS2 I was probably the same amount stressed as with DS1.
My mom is VERY high stress, I mean crazy high stress/anxiety and she had me so I really don't think stress matters honestly.
ETA I do workout A LOT, like a lot a lot and my mom only worked out 1-2x a week. I know that influences T levels maybe that was the difference with us

I don't worry about much but I get very obsessive with things like swaying where it's all I think about. I think im usually pretty laid back but my children do make me very stressed every day much more than anything else.
