Wonder what the boy to girl ratio is for pre menopausal women? I know we hear it a lot but where are the statistics.
Im not convinced the diet will work for me but cutting out red meat may do, as i stated somewhere else, i was starving myself when i got ds1 and 2 but still had a bit of red meat here and there.
My mom hated red meat and she had 4 girls, so maybe i go down that root
what do you all think?

I guess it's worth a try, but want to point out that I also hate red meat. Never eaten it in my life or even wanted to. And I have one boy, and my second miscarriage was a confirmed boy (willing to bet they both were). So, not a sure thing there.

What gender do I think they will have from being perimenopausal and naturally higher in estrogen in relation to progesterone which declines much more drastically? I can't answer that until I see something that says older women actually DO have more girls. Or something that indicated that higher progesterone=more DDs.

You would have to know the woman. For example...if you have a 40 year old who is naturally kinda wound up tight personality...she ~may~ drink more wine than another 40 year old woman as a coping skill. She ~may~ have more boys the average person. Is the alcohol the thing that is swaying? NO!!

I have data from a reliable source posted on here somewhere that indicates it's both women and men. I know there's another study somewhere that debunks it but there's something wrong with it (can't remember what)

there are no sure things - only things that may help a bit. you can get a girl eating a side of beef a day and a boy eating cranberries and rice cakes.

It's NOT any of these things that is swaying, it's what is happening in your body. Declining vs. improving maternal condition. The sway tactics are a means to an end, not the end itself.

I drank vodka with low sugar cranberry juice at night before I conceived my DD. only one or two small glasses. And with this DD, before I conceived her I would have a glass or two of white wine at night once kids were in bed. Or one or two very light beers. Sometimes a vodka and low sugar cranberry drink when I got closer to my sway. I think it sways girl! Wasn't drinking at all when conceived my DS.

After my two boys (where I didn't drink much at all) I started drinking 2-3 drinks a day/evening for about a year and now I am carrying a girl... I am also 4 years older too (now I am 38) so who knows which one helped but I don't think the alcohol hurt.

I hate red meat, don't eat it and I got 4 boys lol so that's not my problem, BUT I think if someone consumes a lot of it then it wouldn't hurt to cut back when swaying pink, since my lifestyle sways more pink then anything but yet I keep popping out boys then this last time I completely changed my lifestyle up which coincidentally sways blue haha so I will see if that works

As for alcohol I don't know lol I know more people with girls then boys so I can say those that drink have more girls but wouldn't be a fair guess since I know more with girls lol I think if you keep with low calorie ones, don't consume a lot (to keep calories low) then it would sway girl, unless you skip supper and consume those calories in alcohol lol but I wouldn't recommend doing that for long or if you have a household and kids to tend too haha

This gives me hope - I have a drink per night (2 maximum). I am 35, DH 37. FX!
