My husband is hot....

Hee hee.. I have a quick temper too. Don't think that's testosterone..that's called motherhood.

Yes, this has happened to a couple of people, both live in Florida (very hot part of the US). One did go onto conceive a boy, and she actually TTC in the months that are supposedly girl peak months in the Northern Hemi. So if at all possible, you might want to TTC in cooler weather. Also, if you have him sleep in the nude and switch to boxers and looser fitting pants, it may help.

Personally I don't love the BSD, BSF, and egg white - I think Preseed is better than egg white and BSF and I'm not convinced BSD is safe. But it's your call to make of course (as long as you're going to pasteurize the egg whites, that is) and some people have gotten their boys by doign those things.

Thanks Atomic. I will read more into the BSD...I am in no way decided about using ew (it seems very strange to be honest)...just a maybe. I would like to not use anything if I can create the ideal environment ...
I thought pre-seed only had a PH of around 7? Isn't this low for TTC a boy?

Preseed is designed to be sperm-friendly. Things that are very high in pH are actually not that great for sperm. We've been having great results TTC naturally using Preseed.

The whole idea that sky high pH is good for TTC a boy is totally unproven and actually doesn't even make a heck of a lot of sense. You can read about that here. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ph-pickle.html

Thanks Atomic. I'll get the Pre-seed. I am feeling a little dejected after reading all the studies which you have posted. Basically if you read them all (which I have in detail) there appears to be very little we can do to sway.
From what I understand, the only things that may swing in favour of a boy are :
1. Increase DH sperm count and testosterone (and my testosterone too)
2. Ensure I have high Na and K (significantly higher than Mg and Ca)
3. Ensure I am in high condition with lots of fruit/veg/red meat for iron/antioxidants/sups, and higher calorie intake
4. Increase CM.

All the other theories seem to be just that (with the exception of being terribly lucky to ovulate and have an abundance of CM on a full moon...!)
I am grateful that you have done all the work and have read the studies extensively. Was trying to join this week but DD1 needed specialist appointment and tests (nothing serious) so $$$ just evaporated form my account so will have to be next week
Nevertheless, I have 6 weeks until first attempt (and while I am 39, I have always gotten pregnant on first attempts at 32,33 and 35..interesting to see if still ovulating regularly?)
Thanks for stopping in and giving me the pre-seed advice.
