How do we know that frequent release and abstaining sway pink?

[mandicane]

I know we don't know why but are there any links to studies that have done this? Just wondering how "they" know this to be true. Thanks

I don't think there are any studies done that have tested this specifically (I've had a look and haven't found any), although the theory is that doing this lowers sperm count and there are existing studies that show that lower sperm count sways pink (haven't seen those either).

I asked the same question a week or so ago: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...-release-sways and had quite a few replies, so maybe that'll help

If you can bear with me a bit longer guys, I will post a LONG list of all the studies I can get my mitts on.

Until then, a quick Google search will turn up dozens of studies that link low sperm count/quality to having more daughters.

The thinking is, if men with low sperm count are having more daughters, then it makes sense to lower our husband's sperm counts in order to sway pink. Abstinence and frequent release are both proven to lower sperm count.

So it's not that there is a specific study (that I am aware of anyway) that shows abstinence/FR sway pink, but there ARE studies that show that A/FR lower sperm count and also studies that say lower sperm count sways pink...we're just kinda connecting the dots between them.

My husband got prostitis back when ttc dc3, sperm count low and very watery we did finally conceive but it still ended in a boy lol so I think my thing is vaginal environment, but it does sound true those that have difficulties conceiving and did not use fertility drugs have more girls than boys(the people I know) but I would love to know why, I thought they proved x and y sperm were equal that x wasn't stronger then y?

Thanks for the info. I will do a google search and see what there is.

Prostitis can give semen a very high PH!

Prostitis can give semen a very high PH!

Ahh thank you! I often wondered what happen there so I need to spread the word prostitis sways boy, hopefully he won't get it again but I definitely won't be ttcing until its cured,

But still would love to know why low sperm count favors girls if x and y are equal, do men with low sperm count have a natural low ph?

[queen-of-harts]

Well i think it would depend on how it swayed i mean if it really effected one mans sperm count and his ph then maybe it would sway pink but if another man it only effected his sperm count a tiny bit and his ph also then maybe it would sway blue more.I know there have been threads on why low count sways maybe try the search button and try and look it up.Not sure if low count always means low ph,probably not but others will chime in maybe.

I'm quoting an old post of Atomic's here - the same concept was also discussed in the past couple of days on the thread wondering how boy/girl twins are conceived:

'My own personal theory is, since X sperm are KNOWN to be slightly larger, they may be able to penetrate an egg singlehandedly or with very little help given enough time (it takes many many sperm to allow only one to fertilize the egg), while Y sperm, being smaller, may need or somehow be given a leg up by high numbers of sperm around the egg. Having less sperm around the egg may make it next to impossible for Y sperm to fertilize the egg and so the X wins by default, even if it takes several hours for it to burrow through the egg shell. No difference in the way they swim, their speed, their liking for pH, calcium, or anything...all those things do is just make it extra hard for ALL sperm to reach the egg, so less make it to the egg.'

actually that makes perfect sense - they all have to chip away at that hard shell around the egg don't they?
