WOW! Thanks for putting in the time and effort to get this info together.
Thanks so much for doing this, that's awesome! It also has grounded me again which my DH keeps trying to make me remember - regardless of all the extra things it's only 60% successful... which if I'm like most and have a 50/50 shot it's not bumping my odds THAT much. I was going SO sway obsessed thinking it was the be all end all.. but it's so true that a large portion is luck and luck could have a large part to play in most of these stats.. who knows!
So it's great to be reminded that these things can help.. but not to let them control your life (as it was doing mine). Thanks again for the effort - amazing!
I agree with this for sure! I just keep hearing people say everyone is 50/50 - even though I totally believe people can be 90-10% like myself HA ;)
I just meant more if you're trying to make a less accurate statement.. everyones 50/50 roughly so maybe 10% it helps. BUT, at the same time.. lots of people that got girls could have had so many others unknown factors that we can't even begin to imagine that added to that *rough* 10% to make it more 25% for them.. who knows! The bottom line is it's so unknown and you can do everything to perfection and still get a boy.. it's not 100% and I just have to remind myself of that often. But there are so many things on here that have results that show it works.. so I'm not doubting that at all.. just saying I've convinced myself it's almost a guarantee that if I eat 1 small piece of meat that I'm having a boy. Or vice versa that I'm doing such a strict diet that it's a guarantee I'll have a girl... Definitely not doubting anyones research!
What's compressed frequent release??
Thank you for this spreadsheet. It is awesome. I'm going to study it for my upcoming girl sway. Thanks again for all the work that went into it.
Thanks so much rainbow!
So what are we all thinking for cal/mag now? This seems to indicate it sways pink?!
Does anyone know the stats they got for cal/mag on IG since its more promoted there?
it's a short-term frequent release. When the time comes to make your attempt(s) you get OH to release and discard once, or maybe twice in close succession. This empties out his supplies. Then you DTD within 8 hours, and can keep DTDing every 8 hours or so if you want more attempts. It's useful for timing it at pos OPK, or if you can't for some reason manage abstaining or daily FR for a long period; i.e. irregular cycles, time apart, DH with less stamina, etc. Also useful if you were planning to FR and miss a day, or abstain and something goes wrong.
a study has shown it significantly lowers sperm count, IMO possibly more than regular FR because it's so drastic at emptying them to begin with
Thank you Rainbow Flower - this is superb!
May I please check that spreadsheet two is a continuation (page break) from page 1 - so the rows should match up to forum names? I am interested in having a look a little deeper at some of the data, and knowing the names for page two will make that easier!
Also, echo-ing Mrs Magoo - can anyone pop in a link here to the background of mag component of the ca/mag supplementation?
Here is the calcium stuff I think Mrs Magoo ... :http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...roversial.html and http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...-part-2-a.html
