Question about DH sway attempt

[WantingPink]

My DH thinks all this sway stuff is totally crazy. It doesn't help that he is a doctor (cause they know everything right ). He is nice enough to listen to me when I talk about what I want to do to sway. Other than that I don't know if I can get him to do anything. I might be able to persuade him into doing the simplest of things but I can guarantee that he will not do any drastic diet changing or underwear changing.

What he has agreed to so far is to hot bath/shower before DTD and abstaining for 14 days. What I am wanting to know is what are the most simple things that will give me the bang for my buck (so to speak)? Would it be for him to drink CL (I can probably get him to do that)? Maybe some supplements? If so which ones?

Any help from the women out there with stubborn husbands is appreciated!!

Hopefully someone will help you out. I will be interested to see what is suggested for DH as mine won't do the diet. But I was thinking of getting him to do abstaining (probably only 10 days as apparently 14 days is not possible!), reducing coffee and I may be able to get him to take some supplements as long as they are not large as he hates taking pills and thinks he chokes trying to take panadol? I worry that I will go all out on a sway but I won't be successful because hubby won't do the diet at all? How much does hubby not doing the diet reduce your chances of a girl?

Interesting thread. I was thinking the same thing. I could probably get my husband to follow quite a few things, even diet changes, just nothing too drastic. I am curious to know if any changes he makes could increase the chances of this working.

Wantingpink, I was wondering if your husband had read any of the articles relating to swaying, especially the more science based ones and what he made of those. I myself am in two minds about the whole thing but figure I would rather give it my best and have no regrets and never wonder what if, but at the end of the day I think I will have another boy

I have read some of the studies to him and because he is so scientific (and works at a teaching hospital) all he does is pick the studies apart and tell me why the study isn't valid. It is rather frustrating at times because I want to believe there is something that I can do to be able to up my odds of getting a girl. He is like this with everything though... if they didn't teach it to him in medical school than it clearly doesn't exist or work. I am really hoping to prove him wrong!! Also, I just asked him if he would drink CL and he said no because aspartame gives him headaches .

Abstaining for 14 days is the best things he can do anyway. And hot showers will only improve your pink sway.

It isn't worth it to try and prove swaying to someone who doesn't agree with it BUT I have been thinking of doing an essay that you guys can show to husbands and family members who are skeptical that show the evidence, because it is pretty substantial and it is widely accepted amongst scientists, that gender is not 50-50 shot and that the woman does control at least part of it. Even a famous scientist like Richard Dawkins believes that gender ratio in mammals varies.

I don't think it reduces your chances much at all. Here's why. Most mammals in nature, the males of the species show up to DTD and then quickly vacate the premises, so it is the dietary cues from the mother who matter more in terms of whether or not an offspring of a particular gender would be able to survive/thrive to adulthood. Boys need more calories and nutrients from the time of conception to all throughout life than girls, and even the smallest and sickliest females reproduce whereas only the biggest and strongest males do. So it makes no sense for the dad's diet to matter as much, because it doesn't matter if he's the best fed monkey in the tree, if the mother doesn't have enough food for her male offspring to grow up to be big and strong enough to compete for mates, then having a son will be a total genetic dead end for her.

Sperm count is what matters the most for guys. If you have a husband that's willing to abstain, jump for joy and don't worry one iota about any of the rest of it!

Any changes he makes are all gravy because it's what YOU do yourself that is the most important. You can absolutely, totally, certainly have a great sway with your husband not lifting a finger to help you in any way (other than just showing up!!)

If it's just luck than it won't matter either way what you do or don't do, so he should humor you!

He doesn't need to do the CL. Remember, 99.99% of all the females that have ever been born have been conceived without the wondrous benefits of aspartame!!!!!

Thanks AS. I would love to read anything that gives more evidence of the swaying. I too am a scientific geek and like the studies that are posted on here. I am just a little down and frustrated that my DH isn't as supportive as I would like. I guess I should look at the bright side... he is willing to have another baby so either way I am happy about that! Plus he is willing to abstain for 14 days which most husbands won't do so that is good too.

Wantingpink he sounds just like my hubby, he to is a dr who doesnt believe in swaying cos he never studied it at medical school!! Thanks for this post. Its good to know im not the only one with a stubborn DH.

Atomic as my DH is over 35 and also runs 30+ miles a wk so you think it is neccessary for him to take licorice root? Wouldnt want to lower his testostorone and sperm count to much. Do you think frequent bd is the best way to go? Thanks
