Why is clomid said to sway pink?

(Altho the way some docs hand the stuff out freely to their patients, it may as well be Tic Tacs haha)

ITA agree with this. I think the ladies on SoulCysters are nuts for purchasing this stuff online but they always say that everyone's situation is different, yadda, yadda.

I also posted about how I am suprised at how many OBs Rx Clomid and let the ladies go unmonitored. In may area, NO OB will give you Clomid (I did ask a long time ago) and they all make referrals to the only RE in the area, who will NOT give Clomid without very close monitoring. I was flamed for that post too. LOL.

thank you :) thats very interesting, I am not brave enough to try it without a dr lol and they wont prescribe it to me because I am very fertile with regular cycles so just using it to sway for a girl they wont give it to me lol but would love to do it but I would have to have a dr to monitor to me because of all the side effects freak me out if I was doing it alone lol :)

No, not at all!!! :) Sometimes I answer q's quickly and don't doublecheck to make sure they are coming off right and that was a busy weekend with a lot going on so I didn't have as much time as I would have liked.


To further expound upon this point...in your previous point you said "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."

Honestly, I don't think 56/44 is bad odds for PCOS patients or those of us really and truly set for blue. Gender swaying techniques are often said to be "80% effective"...if PCOS patients are starting off up to 80% "set" to produce boys...please note I have no data to back these numbers up, just trying to illustrate a point...and the odds shift to 56/44, thanks to Clomid + Met, that is still a major improvement. Even if (much more likely) ladies with PCOS are starting off at 60-40 odds, 56/44 is STILL an improvement. My swaying philosophy always was, if I could just GET to 50-50, I would take the flip of the coin at that point. I did not and do not think my odds at a girl were EVER 50-50- or even 56-44 (even with my failed sway.)

That the odds with Clomid, Met, and IUI seem worse than with timed intercourse is actually not at all surprising to me, because IUI may bypass a lot of what is actually swaying anyway, due to the bypassing of the vag environment, much of the CM, and also the washing of the sperm.

I'm sorry if you felt flamed by my post, that was not my intent at all. :worry: I very much appreciate everyone's input, especially when it encourages me to elaborate on something that I may not have thought of mentioning previously.
