    I'm having a hard time understanding this, or trying to use the information I guess. Both boys were conceived in June. First boy was conceived in Texas (it was hot), second boy conceived in Arizona (even more hot). Arizona is like perpetual summer. When I think back to my time there, I have a hard time remembering what month or season my memories take place in, because it was just always hot. But most of the women I knew that had babies were having girls. Just among my friends, the ratio was four boys to fifteen girls, and there have been two more girls born since I left, but no more boys. There was a running joke among my husband's coworkers that their flight line was cursed, and anyone that fathered a child while working there would have a girl. So I'm not sure why that is. :/ My next child will be conceived in Japan - northern Japan, kind of on the same line as northern Cali. I hear they have bad winters, like pass-me-that-shovel-so-I-can-go-dig-my-car-out kind of winters. I had planned my first attempt for August, but after reading this and spending a warm summer in Tennessee, I'm wondering if we should wait? Would December be a better time? And do you think the colder climate will work in my favor?

    [21 weeks] Nov. 2012 Went for a scan at 20 weeks, baby measured 17+6, came back for a follow up scan and baby had passed away. Lots of testing, no answers.

    Sbowman: I'm not sure how this works. But I Was born In Misawa Japan in March!
    So I was conceived in June! Hope this helps

    Frankly, all this stuff is confusing enough without worrying about seasons!
    There are plenty of opposites conceived in all seasons! How do you know yours wouldn't be in an off season? Maybe your the exception? follow me? Like how Atomic conceived her daughter in boy season?

    DH and I think maybe we won't put to much thought into boy/girl season. DS was conceived in June in central pa.

    Am really pleased with myself today - managed to do 50 mins of cardio at the gym! Longest I've ever done! I could have done more but they were closing the gym so kicked me out

    So, with eating well - except for two matzos crackers mid afternoon as my sugar levels were getting too low for me - and the exercise I've come in 420 calories under my goal and nowhere near on fat or protein!

    Not eating much tomorrow as I'm off on a girlie night so alcohol calories will be used instead
    since 2005 2008 2010.

    That's where we're going! And yes, this seasons stuff is so confusing. But I feel like I need to do a kitchen sink sway or I won't be happy with myself, and I feel like since I know about the seasons thing, and I conceive a boy in August, I will always wonder what would've happened if I had just waited a few more months...and then part of me wonders if it even matters at all. Swaying sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out lol.

    Sbowman: lol I follow its the whole what if factor?
    Yeah, that's tricky. Yes, Misawa only has a few weeks of summer July and August in as warm as it gets according to my mother. Sun comes up at like 3 and goes down at 7 in summer.

    I figure this my Grandmother was born in June so, she was conceived September? My DH's sisters (twins) born in July so conceived in Oct? SIL (brothers wife) born in August so Conceived November? My neice (brothers daughter) born in October so conceived in January? My mom born April so conceived July!

    Sorry did not see this till just now. Around the equator where weather is hot year round, more girls are conceived all the time for reasons no one knows. So people who live in areas where the days remain long, don't need to worry about the seasons. This is for temperate areas only.

    If you ahve the option of when to TTC, I'd include it. It's no magic bullet and i got my DD in boy months.
