the seasons and swaying

I have only read until the end of the 7th page for now but think I am starting to understand. With such a strong boy history I do not plan to sway lightly and want to get as much pink dust on my side as I can.

I am in New Zealand so the peak months to TTC a girl should be Sep, Oct and Nov? Is this right?
My identical twins were conceived in late September but only counts as one conceived in terms of swaying as they were one to begin with. Everything else in my life at that momment was pretty boy friendly though and age gap wise I think those would be good months to try and I will be ready to be pregnant by then.
My first boy was concieved in June so that is a peak boy month right? Is there one strongest month?

Yes, this is def. no magic bullet at all but if we can tap into it, it should help a little bit. I got two of my boys in girl peak months and then my girl in the boy peak so don't take it too seriously! If you can make it work out to TTC coming into the peak, that's great, but if not then no worries, you can still have a successful sway without it.

In NZ the best months would be Sept-Nov, and probably August as well.

When I was younger, age 22-25, I got pregnant late March every year. I'm one of those people who always gains weight in Autumn and loses it in late Spring, so usually I am heaviest in March. My very first pregnancy when I was 20 I conceived in late Oct. Then my most recent pregnancy, in 2012, I conceived in March again. So 5/6 pregnacies conceived in March.

I don't know what genders I conceived (except in 2012, BG twins) but now I'm very curious!

Edit: for my 1st pg I was living in NYC, for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pg I was living in the bay area, North California, for 5th pg I was living in the Boston, MA area, and for the 6th I was in North Carolina. So all Northern Hemisphere.

Yes there are more babies conceived at some times of year than others! I also have 2 conceived in March.

Ahhhh. I do recall hearing that, a cabin fever effect of sorts. That makes it a little less mysterious sounding. Although I bet that with modern heating and A/C the seasonal birth numbers aren't as dramatically different as they were in the paat.

It doesn't seem to be cabin fever though - it seems to be something possibly to do with day lenght that is triggering a natural increase in conception rates across the population.

I'm the UK when wud u most likely conceive a girl xx

Mar-May

Aww man I conceived this one in Sept lol... Also conceived my first and last boys in April suppose it's just a small part in the sway x

yep it's just an overall variation but still fairly close to 50-50, the important thing is that it's consistent from year to year and what it tells us about gender swaying. Not in any way a magic bullet but if you can work it in, great.

Well this confirms this little one is a boy, it's really warm/hot here in Africa and he was conceive sometime in November so there you go :P

NO, it doesn't confirm any such thing, more girls are conceived around the equator for reasons we don't know, and the gender ratio is really close to 50-50 no matter what. The seasons only apply to people who are in areas with 4 distinct seasons and not around the equator. :)

Lol I have no clue where I am but there is definitely NOT 4 seasons here, there is warm/hot season and rain season lol

My December baby was a one hit wonder and I was losing weight but I had been under a LOT of stress with moving house and having a 6m old so I guess those may have swayed it. I think he was just 'meant' to be a boy tbh and he fits in so well with our family! This information is very interesting though :) my other son is a sept baby and he totally fits many of the boy sway things xx

Great links to studies. Is there a thread somewhere that has links to ALL the studies atomic?

The libraries have links I think - sorry obviously not atomic but hopefully that can help! Are you ttc pink or blue? Xx

Wow! What a fascinating read this was. All four of my girls were conceived within the Australia 'girl' months. That's very interesting. Thank you so much :)

There are SO many studies out there that I felt that it would be more helpful to put germane studies in the various threads instead of just a massive list that would take me a ton of time to do and I felt would be uwieldy for you guys to use.

Hello,
Great Post AS! Reading this, I was going to wait a year and a half after DS is born, as I would like to use the Springtime favoring girls and as earlier on, it will also be a stressful time for us with DH for several reasons.

Do you think it will be more difficult conceiving at 38 though rather than 37? I will be 38 in spring 2016 when we start TTC and DH 36.5.
I know that is sometime from now, but thinking ahead, lol. I was very keen to start TTC in spring 2015, but our circumstances at the time do not seem favorable and do not want to burden our situation further :(

I conceived DD almost at 34 first attempt and DS amost at 36 first attempt.
If I did not use the Springtime that favors girls, we could start TTC from January 2015 and I thought 2 months will not make a difference really to my fertility and why not use the seasons that favor us...
I am hesitant TTC Sept-Dec due to the boy season, I conceived DS early December and I am biased in a way, DD was late December.

Thank you &
sorry for asking similar question in a way as before.
Trying to see how waiting and my age could affect the situation...

I never recommen anyone in late 30's wait for any reason. You never know whem it's the last fresh egg in the carton amd this is just something that may help a little bit, no magic bullet.

I conceived my son in april and this current one in march (dont know gender yet but hoping for a girl). Seasons were wrong for him but hopefully right this time haha

I am 36 and live in France - I have 3 boys who were conceived in March, May and July.... which I think make them 'opposites' in terms of the season theory?

When would you recommend I TTC? There seems no point waiting for the next girl time in 2015 when all my boys were conceived during these months!!

There are ALWAYS going to be tons of opposites. This is not a magic bullet. I have two boys in the "girl months" and my girl in the "boy months". This is just a scientifically observed, statistically significant shift in the numbers during those months which seems to stay consistent over time, so if you can encorporate it, great, if not, let it go with no worries. It's just a way to let Mother Nature help you out a teensy bit.

You absolutely can conceive two different genders of kids in the same month.

So interesting that Skrimpy and I are both in Northern MI (I'm in lower peninsula and assume you are, since you didn't mention the UP, Skrimpy:) and we have boys conceived in winter and have summer boys...June, Aug and first week in Oct they were born. It's interesting that she brings up the slaughter season and harvest season possibly playing into that, which of course goes right along with the seasons observations. There are also several families here in our area with three boys or more and they tend to be born in spring and summer months often. This is based on knowing these families and observing the hefty amount of boys birthdays celebrated in summer. Our oldest sons whole hockey team is made up of several summer boys in each family, the magic number seems to be three boys. It's really interesting. But, my brother and I have birth dates that are in April.

I also wonder..may it have something to do with where we were born or raised and possible genealogy...so you may have been born near the equator but live in a four season climate so your body follows the equator timing? Just a thought to ponder...

I have been well nourished for all three of my boys, very conscious of sugar intake with protein to avoid sugar spikes, lots of fruits and veggies and good fats. I also always took magnesium and potassium sups because I ran a lot and these two things help so much with muscle cramps and fatigue. I drank a lot of milk, so the calcium in the milk was likely well absorbed given the magnesium I was getting...which is also in chocolate, but I also am a sweets lover.
The old wives tales really are funny. My mother has some real doozies! I tease her and say welcome to reality in the 21st century! Lol. She cracks me up. Anyway...every single one of my 5 pregnancies (I have two angels) were different. 4 boys and the one angel didn't make it last 5 weeks,so it didn't affect me at that point with any nausea, etc. we didn't find out what gender the baby was, although they did testing as they suspected molar pregnancy. It wasn't and all was normal. I think I'd be devastated if I found out it was a girl, though. That one was conceived in summer.

It is fun to speculate about, but above all else I think that the more tangible things like diet, overall physical condition, and personality traits (plus many things DH will bring to the party) are much much much stronger and more effective things than the seasons.

Great info may God bless u atomic

I see how these can be just theories! I've been conscience of ions now since I conceived my daughter in early September (and it was VERY hot; we also didn't have the a/c running, so there were some days where we were both overheating -- he was also on a boat out in the water very often).

Ideally was going to try for a boy when my daughter was at least 6 months (with breastfeeding, if that hopefully goes well), especially since my daughter would be being introduced to foods, it'd be December (so winter months, cold, more HE diet because of the holidays, ions from central heat???), etc. Is this dumb though, still so close to her birth/when breastfeeding? Once I most likely wean her at 1 year, it'd be the summer, so I'd be worried about the summer impact on conception, though as I've posted elsewhere: I had an insanely girl friendly diet at conception for this girl, so maybe that's all that was the issue?

I do not believe in ions for swaying. This is an effect that is apart from ions. Probably day length and our bodies have some primordial way of registering that. Your body can and does use ions for many things including being present in cervical mucus, but it MAKES THEM chemically as per its needs. Your body DOES NOT GET the supply of ions it needs for functioning by being bombarded with them from the outside. The idea that tiny particles are coming from the moon on a mission to invade our vagina and make us have a boy or girl is just plain silly.

More girls are conceived around the equator for reasons we don't know, one theory is heated testicles = more girls conceived. So in hot weather, out on a boat, etc etc etc it isn't that shocking. But please keep in mind that even in studies, the effects are miniscule when compared to diet and exercise and other lifestyle factors. It never comes down to just one thing like this, and it beyond never comes down to THIS one thing.

I BEG YOU, and all blue swayers, AVOID positive ions. They don't work for swaying and positive ions may be harmful to human health in the long term.

There are multiple pink sway factors affecting those who live near the equator, beyond overheated testes...more infectious disease/parasites, high poverty rates so likely low cal and low nutrient diets, possibly less frequent BDing due to heat/humidity, to name a few.

Supposedly they corrected for socioeconomic strata - but yeah.

Just adding my experience- my older son was conceived in February and my younger son was conceived in May. But I get pregnant quickly, so it may just be the fertility factor.

Thanks! yes it's just one little thing that may help a bit. I got 2 boys in "girl" months and my girl in "boy" month. :)

What's the best month to conceive a boy in Chicago weather? I got a girl baby conceived in August.

as far as we know Sept-Nov are boy months in the temperate zones of the N. Hemisphere.

Just wanted to note that my custom plan for ttc girl advises that ttc a girl months are Sept-Nov but this is actually for the Southern Hemisphere. The U.S. and mostly everywhere else is the Northern Hemisphere. I actually conceived in October so hoping this little sway option doesn't affect my sway but just wanted to note so it can be changed for future plans.

Girl peak months in the Southern Hemisphere are Sept-Nov, boy peak in
Mar-May. This is not a make or break thing and no magic bullet in any
way, but if you have the option of when to TTC, it can’t hurt and may
help.

Northern Hemisphere: March through May

Southern Hemisphere: Sept through Nov.

Around the equator more girls are conceived than should be statistically for reasons no one knows (but still about 50-50)

I may have made an error in your plan in which case I apologize? I'm not quite sure I follow this question.

So I’ve seen no one say they’ve tried for a baby in January! Is that a bad month? I want to sway boy in Jan/feb so I would think that’d be good for cooler male parts?

Because it's likely that darker winter weather sways pink, it is not the ideal time to sway for a boy. The way the months work is that during Mar-May, in the Northern Hemisphere, there is both a peak of girl conceptions and a trough of boy conceptions making a measurable statistical difference between the number of boys and girls conceived. The studies have found this seems to be consistent year in and year out (which is why we pay attention to it). So January, by virtue of being in the dark, cold months and closer to the peak of girl conceptions and the trough of boy conceptions, is going to be less beneficial to conceiving a boy than say, August would be. "cooler male parts" doesn't seem to make much of a difference overall, unfortunately.

But all that having been said, it's a minor statistical difference and there are still plenty of boys conceived in January. The seasons are just one of those things we pay attention to since it's interesting and all, but if it doesn't work out, no worries. I got my girl in "boy peak" and 2 boys in "girl peak" months so there ya go.
