Ok, so I noticed for quite some time that their are Alot of young (literly every girl who was pregnant when I was working) had girls! 9-10ths of the girls I see have Daughters! I'm talking teenage- early 20's maybe.
And I was wondering if you think their is a diet connection. They all weren't it Long relationships it seems (ones I knew) . One is like 24 had a boy 2 yrs ago when she and her DH just got together I believe.
Just curious.
I had my first boy at 18 and second at 21. But I am also in a long term relationship. So it may be that they are not in a serious/long term relationship? I have a lot of single girl friends who have girls. The only friends I have that are married with all girls is the one who had a lot of trouble getting pregnant and the one who's constantly "breaking up" with her husband. But their are a few that have both boys and girls...so I don't know
Interesting. I wonder if Lack of sex or manogamy has anything to do with this.
When I said something to my mom she mentioned that she knows they had less sex when conceiving me cause my Dads job and they didn't see each other as much.
When we cinceived DS, DH and I were trying for quite some time and regularly especially not just an attempt that month it was constant! Lol
And not to pony out too much but my Brother slept on couch when my SIL got preg so thinking not alot of action was going in there.
Other SiL and Former BIL had Twins but One of which was a Girl but They had problems (now divorced) and He was at least cheating. Soo hmmmm
I had ds1 when I was 16.. Ds2 18... Ds3 23 ds4 25
I was 20 when got pregnant with my first Boy. And 22 when got DS2.
my best friend became pg at 18 and Girl
my other best friend became pg at 19 and also Girl
an old School friend became pregnant at Age of 17 and has a Boy.
My mother became very late pregnant (Age 35) and i was her first Girl
On tv are programs like teen mother. I see that they mosly have Girls..but i think that is why they drink much alcohol, smoke and dont have a healthy Lifestyle.
but i dont believe in this.
I had my girls at 20, 21, and 22-- and was married before getting prego with the first.
I had DS1 at 22, DS2 at 24 and #3 (not sure gender) I'll be 26 when it comes. I definitely feel like more "accident" pregnancies end up being girls, but I know a lot of people from highschool who had babies and they were boys.
I have also thought there may be something to this HOWEVER when someone actually did a study they found that actually more young moms have boys. I think it has to do with higher fertility = more boys.
I agree with what Kitty says, studies have also shown that committed relationships = more boys so it may have to do with that as well. (these are just trends and NOT anything like 100% accuracy in any way.)
They don't know why it is but studies dating back to Charles Darwin's time have all shown that link between marriage and more boys.Quote:

Just make sure the baby is your husband's and not the lover's LOL ;):nyd:
I can also attest, marital difficulties also seem to sway pink (just check out my sway o.O):drama:
I was 19 when my son was born. I was in a long term relationship, BUT my husband was in basic training for 12 weeks, we got together for three days, and he was gone another three months. So to me it should've been like a one night stand or something lol.
I had DS1 at 21 (he actually made his way past my birth control pill lol) - DH and I were together "off and on" for about 2 years prior. Then got married and planned our next baby (swayed girl) DS2 which I just had at 23 :)
For reasons unknown, soldiers home on leave father way more boys. This is an old observation that has stood the test of time and numerous studies.Quote:

Meaning, because that's how you and your DH tend to get the job done due to his schedule as a soldier, correct??
My suspicion is that it's because of several attempts - since you only see each other once in a while, there's a lot of BD going on in a short time frame and if one were ov. in that time frame, that's very similar to what I advise blue swayers to do - 3-5, even up to 7 attempts in the fertile window of O-3 thru O day.
So please don't worry, this doesn't mean your sway is doomed before it even starts, just be sure you only have one unprotected attempt and it's all good. :)
(PS I know I said this already but your son is so darling, I almost feel like I'm doing the world a disservice by helping you sway pink LOL)
Ah yeah that makes sense. He isn't quite gone all the time, but certainly more than the average husband. I should have at least a six month stretch with him soon, hopefully longer, so that's when we're planning to try. I just thought maybe you were telling me that because he's in the military, there is some crazy thing that makes him father boys. Like being around gunpowder=boy babies rofl.
Thank you soooo much. (For clearing that up, and for the compliments.) He is such a special little boy. If I had another one like him that'd be perfectly awesome too. If I have a successful girl sway, I will probably want another boy so he has a brother. I just want to try and have at least one girl too. :)
I was 17 with DS1 and it was a serious relationship and I was with him for 1.5 years. But I think DS1 was a one hit wonder but I can't remember. My diet was boy though.
I was 19 with DS2 and I was extremely hypothyroid which I know sways boy. He was 4-5 "attempts" (except we weren't trying) in the fertile window.
I was 21 with DS3 and I was in the best shape of my life. Had lost 40lbs but was starting to gain a little right before I concieved him.
I was 23 with DD and I was losing weight and ate like crap:)
I am 25 with this one. Gender unknown. Weak LE diet, 2 mc right before, losing weight. But I'm still starting to think its a boy! 18 days until I find out!!
