some vitex+SP stats for you

If dh is over 35 abstain isn't advised. I think both reduce sperm count. That's my understanding but could be wrong!! X

I think it is worth taking them even if the success rate is only 50% because most if us have NO girls so 50 50 sounds good to me - I think Without it i am of 80 20 LOL.

unless it could be 60-40 if you didn't take them as a part of the sway!

Very veeeeery interesting stats! Thank you so much rainbowflower for making this happen!!

I am pretty sure V + SP swayed pink in my case. My cycles were super long and wonky when I was taking them. Irregular cycles make your overall fertility decrease and I am one of those very fertile people who seem to have no trouble getting pregnant despite all the aci-jel + repHresh I used before BD. Gosh, makes me wonder if maybe we should leave V + SP for super fertile people like me but otherwise maybe not worry so much about it??

FWIW, if I were to do a sway all over again for a girl (which I may do in 2015) I think I would focus on doing 60+ minutes of cardio every day and doing the LE diet with a higher overall calorie intake to make up for the intense exercise, and probably leave V + SP out of it next time around.

Good luck to all you pink swayers out there regardless of what you decide to do for your sway.

every stat is like that though. maybe we all had a high chance of having our desired gender if only we hadn't swayed. :s We have numbers on here somewhere that show that after 2 and 3 and 4 boys it's something like 40-60 girls to boy ratio in the population as a whole, so I do not believe that many of us were "set" for girls after having 2-3-4 boys (for some reason this link will not post but it's called "statistics question anybody know"

I read this and it gives me some hope. However, what if my body is just 'set up' for making boys? All the things I read for swaying boy is how I've lived for years, so wouldn't my chances of having my 4th boy (without swaying) be like 90/10? I'm confused... and a little worried (me and hubby had whoops the other night and I haven't started my sway yet, convinced boy no4 is on his way) xxx

Thanks for posting Atomic, put my mind to ease as well.
I was thinking abt this today, probably 90 % of the ladies who think their sway worked would have DG anyway (withought swaying). It is pretty much 50-50 in the first place

I agree and I think that is prob. the case for many of us. We come in 80-90% likely to have boys and when I went into swyaing I felt like, if I could get to 50-50 I would take the flip of the coin at that point. Like I said, I did get a boy and a girl on Vitex, but got 3 boys without it.

Re the essay link I posted, that is the population as a whole and may not be true for any one individual. Some people may be 90% set for boys. Some may be 90% set for girls (even after having 3 boys - your settings can change, just look at the Duggars, 5 girls in a row after having 6 or 7 boys in a row.) Overall, it comes out to be 60-40 range BUT that does NOT mean taht you personally, your odds are then 60-40. They may be 90-10 or 10-90 or 50-50 or anything.

Well, I'm not sure about that but I agree with the sentiment.

I feel like in the 13 years between when I had DS 2 and DS 3, there was quite a run of time in there where I probably would have had girls if I had gotten pg. My bad luck that I didn't happen to get pg then, but I suspect if I had, I'd have gotten a girl and never even thought about any of this. So is it that I'm unchangeably SET for boys over a 20 year time span, I'm not convinced of that at all - I think I just happened to get pg during times in my life where I was "boying it up" and that may be true for all of us.
