Southern hemisphere is just reversed, so boy peak is in Mar-May and girl peak is in Sept-Nov. :)
the further you are from the equator, the more this phenomenon may affect you!!

Hmmm. Lots to think about. I'd been thinking more of when I'd like to have the next baby (in terms of DS1 starting school etc). Probably should dump those plans and think more about the month of TTC a girl!
Well, first and foremost I'd always put my family's needs ahead of the month - it's no magic bullet, just a statistical variation that seems to help somehow. Plenty of opposites are born in both girl and boy peaks. (I have 2 boys conceived in girl peak, and my girl is in the boy peak!)
Interesting! 3 of my sons were concieved in Feb, one son concieved in late Aug, and my only daughter was concieved the first week of September. So I guess this isn't such a major factor for me. I am hoping if we do decide to TTC to start in spring aiming for a late winter-early spring baby. Maybe I should start in March instead of May like I was thinking to take advantage of the slight increase in odds.
I have 6 boys and they were conceived in February,April,May,July,October,December. So seasons don't matter to my body it just attracts to the blue :bluesperm: .
Please understand, it's something that very well may affect all of us, it's just that some of us have so many other factors swaying one direction that the effect of the seasons is neutralized. I have two boys in girl peak months, and my girl in boy peak months, so many exceptions. It's just that overall there seems to be SOMETHING swaying for people who conceive in those months for reasons that we cannot explain.
If you have the choice of TTC in the peak months and not, then I really urge everyone to at least try to TTC in those months.
Hi everyone.. i was just wondering what "lifestyle" means in terms of swaying? I have one dd conceived early oct and i am trying to sway blue. I just came across this site about a month ago after being on the IG diet for the last 2 and half months. I've now been adding elements from here since i am a vegetarian and felt like i wasn't eating enough to raise my testosterone..Anyway just wondering what lifestyle pertains to... such as your diet, stress, pollutants where you live?
Yes, exactly. Anything that's not diet, supps, jelly I kinda lump under the heading of "lifestyle" so exercise, competition, stress, smoking/drinking, pollutants, so on and so forth, those are all lifestyle things that may sway.
I've also got 6 boys (1st boy missed miscarriage at 16wks) and I was wondering about seasons. My niece has 3 girls and always seems to have them just before I get pregnant like I've missed the boat for a girl again!
My boys were conceived in February, March, November, April, June and July???
I'm going to try to ttc pink one last time in November '12 and see what happens.
Statistically speaking, November is a boy-friendly month. I did get my girl in November, though. Good luck.
I like this : ) I swayed girl and conceived in Oct - I am in New Zealand. Whether that will make a diff for me or not, who knows, but it makes me feel better! XQuote:

Well I guess I'm screwed if I got preg this month! Poop.
no, there are tons of exceptions, read the study, there were thousands of both genders in all months. I got me dd in nov boy peak, and 2 boys in girl monthsQuote:

We don't know. I wonder the same thing. I wish I had more info to go off of.Quote:

Here spring doesn't really start until June and our "summer" ends in August, and "fall" is September and first half of October (it snows on or the week before Halloween typically). You would think that we're in prime territory for girls.Quote:

There's a new moon at the beginning of Dec (I have no idea when my O will be, getting IUD taken out this month).
This stuff is complicated to me I'm in Central Pa and have No idea where we stand. Lol especially since the weather is acting up around here lol
I can't make heads or tails of the Chinese Gender chart. I tried it after I conceived the last time and it said Id have a Girl lol he's all boy!
Maybe I just don't know how to use it since I was born in Japan lol (my dad was in the Air Force)
I'm super interested in this too! I'm thinking MAYBE this works for women whose bodies r sensitive to ions.I live in New England.Conceived dd#1 the first week of May.spring.Conceived dd#2 right around the summer equinox.So this time around we wont be trying until the end of Oct.Will probably do attempts in Oct Nov Dec Jan.Hopefully that will help a bit!
There are still plenty of opposites conceived in those months. We are talking about a minor yet statistically significant and consistent variation that may help a bit for some people. No, it's not a magic bullet in any way and I would never build a sway around it - I got two boys in the girl peak and my girl in the boy peak.Quote:

It has absolutely nothing to do with ions whatsoever and in fact goes against the ion theory. It is likely day length, ambient temperature, and/or Vit. D levels stored up from sunshine that is affecting the body.Quote:

Central PA is Northern Hemisphere, so the girl peak months are Mar, Apr, May, and prob. a bit in Feb and June (I think Feb is more "girl" than June but don't have data to back that up just yet.) We don't think it has to do with the weather per se but day length and ~possibly~ if you're exposed to cooler temps than you had been (if temps had been warm for several months and then got colder suddenly)Quote:

Really? Well I'm totally confused! I thought there were more + ions and - ions in the air in different times of the year.maybe that was moon phases.I don't freaking know anymore!
Ah I see! Lol well, that would be closer to when Mr Q turns two! Not sure about putting much stock in that stuff though, maybe the moon as im sure the moon effects people (seriusly people get weird around full moon lol) so hmm maybe the weather would effect our bodies? DH said that I should slow down and we should figure this out instead of me trying to race a clock (32 yrs old now) Yeah, we conceived DS in June but I had just put on lots of weight I was my heaviest in a while at 120 lbs 5' 5' (until now 131) and we were boy rythem (I guess that correct) and I Was eating cereal and breakfast foods and possibly lots of fast food I think (was putting on weight).Quote:

Ok thought I was going crazy for a second.it was info posted by Tamara from IG.it says that winter has more + ions & summer has more - ions.so this is wrong?
There are different amounts of ions in the air at different times of year or in different places BUT that does NOT mean that those ions go up your VJ and make you have a baby of a particular gender.Quote:

The part that I believe these studies debunk is that ions do anything for gender swaying. Ions are real things that actually exist and you can find more of + or - at some places and times, but that doesn't mean that they are doing anything whatsoever for gender swaying. In fact it's very likely that they aren't, or at least not in the way that certain parties claim. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/sway...m-y-sperm.htmlQuote:

One of these days I'm going to do an ion essay that explains it in detail but until then, does it really make any sense that tiny particles emanating from the moon are making people have boys or girls??
Diet makes sense because boys need more calories than girls do from the moment of conception on through life. Lifestyle makes sense too. But the moon sending out particles? I'm sorry that just does not add up for me.
Thx AS! So much info out there.it gets overwhelming & confusing sometimes! I did read that Italian study that said October was the most "boy heavy" conception month & that it had to do with the amount of daylight & an average temp of 55 degrees.what do u think of that one?
That and some other studies done by that researcher and a few others, is what I am basing all this on.
I'm having a hard time understanding this, or trying to use the information I guess. Both boys were conceived in June. First boy was conceived in Texas (it was hot), second boy conceived in Arizona (even more hot). Arizona is like perpetual summer. When I think back to my time there, I have a hard time remembering what month or season my memories take place in, because it was just always hot. But most of the women I knew that had babies were having girls. Just among my friends, the ratio was four boys to fifteen girls, and there have been two more girls born since I left, but no more boys. There was a running joke among my husband's coworkers that their flight line was cursed, and anyone that fathered a child while working there would have a girl. So I'm not sure why that is. :/ My next child will be conceived in Japan - northern Japan, kind of on the same line as northern Cali. I hear they have bad winters, like pass-me-that-shovel-so-I-can-go-dig-my-car-out kind of winters. I had planned my first attempt for August, but after reading this and spending a warm summer in Tennessee, I'm wondering if we should wait? Would December be a better time? And do you think the colder climate will work in my favor?
Sbowman: I'm not sure how this works. But I Was born In Misawa Japan in March!
So I was conceived in June! Hope this helps :)
Frankly, all this stuff is confusing enough without worrying about seasons!
There are plenty of opposites conceived in all seasons! How do you know yours wouldn't be in an off season? Maybe your the exception? :) follow me? Like how Atomic conceived her daughter in boy season?
DH and I think maybe we won't put to much thought into boy/girl season. DS was conceived in June in central pa.
Am really pleased with myself today - managed to do 50 mins of cardio at the gym! Longest I've ever done! I could have done more but they were closing the gym so kicked me out :(
So, with eating well - except for two matzos crackers mid afternoon as my sugar levels were getting too low for me - and the exercise I've come in 420 calories under my goal and nowhere near on fat or protein!
Not eating much tomorrow as I'm off on a girlie night so alcohol calories will be used instead ;)
That's where we're going! :) And yes, this seasons stuff is so confusing. But I feel like I need to do a kitchen sink sway or I won't be happy with myself, and I feel like since I know about the seasons thing, and I conceive a boy in August, I will always wonder what would've happened if I had just waited a few more months...and then part of me wonders if it even matters at all. Swaying sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out lol.Quote:

Yeah, that's tricky. Yes, Misawa only has a few weeks of summer July and August in as warm as it gets according to my mother. Sun comes up at like 3 and goes down at 7 in summer.
I figure this my Grandmother was born in June so, she was conceived September? My DH's sisters (twins) born in July so conceived in Oct? SIL (brothers wife) born in August so Conceived November? My neice (brothers daughter) born in October so conceived in January? My mom born April so conceived July!
Ah, of course we get stationed there after being in Phoenix for three years lol.
Awesome!
Southern Hemisphere here! My little boy was conceived in April and will be trying for a girl Sept-Oct. Hope that is good. :)
Sorry did not see this till just now. Around the equator where weather is hot year round, more girls are conceived all the time for reasons no one knows. So people who live in areas where the days remain long, don't need to worry about the seasons. This is for temperate areas only.Quote:
