Coincidence!
Not true for me, Fell pregnant with Ds2 when ds1 was 10 months old, fell pregnant with ds3 when ds2 was 8 weeks old. I have all boys not sure of gender of this baby until friday! but didnt conceive until after ds3's first birthday
Dunno
Thinking back through my friends with a 20 month gap or less-
Girl- boy 18 month gap x 3
G-B 17 m gap x 2
G-B 12 m gap x 2
G-B 20m gap x 3
Boy- girl 20 m gap
B-G 12 m gap
B-G 17m gap x 2
B-G 18m gap x 2
B -girl twins 12m gap
B- twins boy/ girl 19m gap
G-G 17 m gap x 3
G-G 18 m gap x 2
G-G 19m gap
G-G 20m gap x 3
B-B 18 m gap x 2
B-B 16 m gap x 2
B-B 12 m gap

Sorry I missed this post the first time thru but just to quickly elaborate on this...I've heard both theories and neither is really accurate and here's why.Quote:

HOWEVER, the problem is that the people who are truly declined in condition/fertility are not able to conceive to begin with and this eliminates a fair % of girl pregnancies overall (not eliminated, but simply that those pregnancies are not conceived). The women who are able to get pregnant right after a prev. pregnancy are generally those who are in better condition overall, have regained fertility quickly, and thus are more likely to conceive a boy. So overall, the % still stays around 50-50, but I still believe it sways pink overall to conceive quickly after a previous pregnancy.
I only know of 2 examples of this where it went girl-girl, interesting theory if you're trying to sway pink
