have I left my sway too late???

[jennypenny]

I don't have answers for you all I can tell you is our experience...

DH was conceived,roughly based on his b-day given he was full term: August
I was conceived, roughly based on my birth date: October
DS#1 was conceived in November
DS#2 in December
DS#3 in September
DD#1 in March

Thanks, that kind of backs up what I had been thinking may happen.

My first pregnancy (ended in miscarriage at 8weeks) was conceived mid summer from one attempt and I was really dieting at that point. I always wondered if that was a girl. Didn't help that my mother in law, recently said that it was probably a girl I lost and that some women can only sustain one gender of pregnancy (Load of crap I know!)

If it makes you feel any better our only girl so far was a loss, so you are definitely not alone. Thankfully, we had testing done so we know what happened makes it a teensy bit easier to swallow.

The seasonal effect is MINISCULE, whereas the diet and time on the diet are the biggest/most effective and essential sway factors. Exercise is next, then one attempt. Most other factors you can control are not worth thinking about let alone worrying over!

What an evil woman! I'm so sorry you have to endure that behaviour and from your own MIL no less. I look forward to you proving her wrong!

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead with the sway for Autumn again and just ensure that I do the rest of the elements to the best of my ability.

Most of what my mother in law says is nonsense so it didn't surprise me. She actually suffered really bad gender disappointment herself after 2 boys as she was told for health reasons not to have any more. I'm guessing she has convinced herself of this to make herself feel better.

I answered the season question in the other thread.

It's always good to remember that much of what people say is from their own biases and hurts done over the course of a lifetime. :/
