Swaying - it can't ever be easy LOL!!! ;)

Atomic - your research makes sense from a hormonal scientific aspect. When questioning my RE (because I do have PCOS and I want a girl, as this will be our last child) she said that the stats are about 56/44 in favor of boys with Clomid + Metformin + Timed Intercourse in PCOS patients. Clomid + Met + IUI increases slightly to 57/43. I think these stats are coming from her practice.

Now, while on Met, we are highly encouraged to eat a high protein/low carb diet and exercise to lose weight. If we don't stick to a low carb diet, the side effecrs of Met are very yucky. I have a very mild case of IR so I take the lowest dose of Met, I do WW, and I exercise 6 times a week. I have dropped very little weight but my Body Fat % has decreased significantly, which tells me that I am gaining muscle. I am the perfect example of a boy making machine.

My RE told me that the only way to guarantee a girl would be through PGD. She is not the only medical professional that has told me the latter statement.

I'm not trying to discredit you at all. I think you are very knowledgable. But I still think diet may be the only factor, if at all.

LOL - Is that the route you are taking?

Just for the record, I have NEVER EVER promised any kind of a guarantee from swaying.

PGD is of course the only way to guarantee a child of a particular gender IF you can afford it, IF you have a willing DH, and IF you are lucky enough to get pg. Not all of us fit into that category and for the rest of us, I think swaying is a good option.

I am the number one promoter of diet but diet cannot account for everything. There are tons of people who do great sways and get opposites and also proven facts like "more boys born after wars" and "more boys born to women with Master's Degrees" that have nothing to do with diet and cannot be explained by dietary factors.

Medical professionals are very down on swaying, but biologists/geneticists/evolutionary psychologists DO believe that altering the gender ratio in mammals is possible (even famous scientists like Richard Dawkins).

It doesn't work on gals with higher levels of FSH (older ladies) and I read that it should not prescribed to those over 35, but i have seen several ladies who were prescribed Clomid over 35, some successfully, some not.

Femara and injectibles are better options for older ladies but I do not know if those sway or not.

It does, but even once you start to produce more, it's still less than you would produce normally. YOur body responds to it because it is a sudden burst of estrogen where there previously was none, so it triggers ovulation, but it isn't as much estrogen as would be there had you not taken the Clomid.

I really REALLY don't want anyone taking Clomid that they bought on line. I'm not going to delete this because we are all big girls who can make our own decisions but Clomid isn't TicTacs, it's real medicine with serious side effects and should only be taken under the care of a doctor. (Altho the way some docs hand the stuff out freely to their patients, it may as well be Tic Tacs haha)

I truly hope I did not come off the wrong way. Of course there is no guarantee but PGD. I'm just trying to bring awareness to the fact that for PCOS patients, Clomid doesn't look too promising for a girl. Especially not me for the reasons listed above AND now - the fact that I do have an Master's! :)
