    I imagine that some guys who father boys later in life *may* have been doing lots to improve sperm quality in order to conceive which could account for he boys being born to older dads. I know my friends hubby is 50 and they had a son naturally (sadly he passed away) xx

    I was the baby and my parents were 37 when I was conceived. My Dh and I were 35 when our little girl was conceived. So maybe it helped, but I still strongly believe it was combination of everything and a bit of luck.

    My baby girl is here and we are so in love with her! Thank you gender dreaming for making my family complete!

    When we talk about things "swaying" that does NOT mean that if you do this one thing, you are then guaranteed a child of a particular gender. It means that across the population, people in this circumstance are more likely to have a child of a certain gender than the population as a whole. That's it. That may be only by 3 or 5%, even if it was more like 10-20%, still plenty of opposites conceived.

    I'll take the addition to my sway of DH being older, but I'm definitely doing more this time around to increase the odds of pink!

    I wanted to ask not about man's age but weight - does it sway in any way? My hubby gained some weight lately (but even when we had our boys he was on the heavy side). As far as I know obesity means lower testosterone - can it sway pink?

    Yes I believe the man gaining quite a bit of weight means more girls. Now, a little weight gain in guys tends to be first muscle, so a small amount of weight gain may sway blue for some guys (esp. if they were rail thin to start with.)

    Muscle sways blue. Being super skinny and heavyset both tend to swya pink. There are a lot of guys though who carry muscle under fat and so it's not so cut and dry as we would like it to be.

    My husband was at his heaviest by far when we got our DD.

    Oh goodie...what if the hubby lost a few kgs (I was actually jealous of him!) before the attempt and it was after he started running and stopped weight lifting and protein shakes?

    FWIW, my dad had me in his early 20s, must have been something my mother brought to the table/abstain/stress as my dad was setting up his first business, I was his first child and then he had 3 girls in his early-mid 40s (my step mum was actively losing weight when those girls were conceived) and in between he had 7 boys!

    Plenty of men have daughters in their early 20's (including my dad - that would be me!). It's not necessarily something your mom brought to the table. These things that sway are by a few percentage points and in no way guarantees.

    Weight loss in men, again it depends. If he lost muscle mass, then it could have swayed pink. If it was just flab and he ended up with higher % muscle when he was done, it could have swayed blue a little bit. But in no way does that mean your sway is ruined or anything.

    He is lean/muscular and has hardly any fat...and I'm guessing it's from muscle as it's noticeable. So thanks.
