Have you ever asked about your mother's diet/what/how she ate before conceiving you?

Some people who are very heavy also get lots of girls because they are in worse condition and fertility. Then when they lose weight, they can make themselves more likely to conceive boys.

If you keep bringing the idea back to the fertility/condition idea and remember that when you get either too thin or too heavy you can actually stop ovulation (and thus those in the worst condition may not be able to get pregnant) then it all makes sense.

We were both at our heaviest when conceived girls, I know for a fact I wasnt losing weight as had decided it wa stime to join weight watchers next week if I was pregnant and I always used to eat more than ever that week before as like a final supper lol

Mum had me then a boy next. With my brother she had just lost heaps of weight and said she was her fittest and then put on weight again for her third which was a girl.

But obviously not the same thing works for everyone and we are a very girl heavy family. Mum was one of three girls, those girls had 4 girls and one boy (my brother) and mum has only Granddaughters so far. So could be something else playing part here

I agree the rules may be different for people who have a lot of girls. Remember, the egg that is you actually formed in your GRANDMOTHER'S body (in your mother's ovaries when she was a baby) and there are elements of this that we don't totally understand.
