How we made girls...by girl moms! (PINK DUST!!!)

[all4princes]

bre I do find police and fire have more girls, if you see that in a study ever I'd love to read it.

Thank you so much ladies, your experiences are so helpful, keep them coming!

Even police women as well? I was looking for a study myself about this. Lol

No my expectation is police women would have more sons than the general population. Sorry I was saying that for bre's sake since her husband was the one in question.

I will look for it again! I believe it was related to the rotating shifts, bad diet, and stress. I doubt this will ever change, he actually is working 12hr nights all this month and sometimes skips meals and what not. I also read nurses are more likely to have girls as well. Probably for similar reasons. (dd#2 I worked an in ER, too).

And I believe you expectations about about policewoman would be correct. As I had my boy while on Active Duty (similar atmosphere to policewomen) and our girls after I got out.

My husband did make 2 of our boys working nights 11-12 hours so I know it's possible!!!

nurses have been shown in studies to have more girls and no one is quite sure why that is. Some speculate that it's a caring profession and may appeal more to people who are more set for girls. Not sure if that is true or not but just that some have speculated that. I agree the long hours would also have to have something to do with it!

I have a friend who is a nurse (her husband is one too). They have three boys

New here and thought this would be a good start...
I have two girls..
DD#1 honeymoon baby...lost tons of weight before wedding..lot of stress bed 2-3 times /day ( sorry TMI , I know crazy newly weds) cardio, LOVED milk and cheese still do urghh.. Alway out and about early home.

DD#2 crazy cardio regimen like 2 hours 5days a week. I think I was starving myself..needed to lose weight before having another one... I was never a meat fan...only chicken and fish. But I know that we DTD on ovulation and DH was releasing every 2-3 days. Back then I thought if you bed on ovulation day you guarantee a boy ( wish it was that easy)

Atomic! That is good to know!

Interesting indeed! I am sure nurses and cops don't only make baby girls Just was another factor among many, I believed, inadvertently sway us pink. Because of my hours and when emergencies came in, I would skip meals and live off of coffee and diet coke. Same with DH. I remember feeling hungry frequently.

I am a night shift nurse and I have 2 boys and one more on the way .

I lurked this board and got all my swaying info from here and i have a confirmed GIRL!!! I am so glad i found this site, so i had to make an acct just to share my seay, because i truly felt this info helped.
I will add all i remember:
-I skipped breakfast, but did eat a granola bar before my 9am workouts
-I was breastfeeding my son and consistently losing weight for 3 months leading up to bfp
-Limited my caffeine a lot compared to what i used to drink
-Very rarely ate any red meat while swaying, which i used to eat a lot of (especially when i got my son). I cut back a lot on sodium and potatoes, which i also used to eat a ton of
-kept track of ph
-charted temps w/bbt
-took calcium, magnesium and folic acid
-took Rephresh the month i got bfp every 3 days. The day we dtd, i split tr applicator between prior to dtd and just after. Prior to that i used replens, but rephresh maintained my ph.
-used opk's to be sure i didn't have a + on dtd day since my cycle ranged due to breastfeeding, but ended up dtd right after 1st + opk, which i thought was going to kill my chances
-dh took nothing, but did FR (not with me) for 7 days leading up to dtd.
-dh took hot shower prior to dtd
-no O for me
-we did missionary and shallow release and j&d a few minutes after dtd
-exercised an hr 5-6 days/wk
-we only did 1 active try each month. No dtd anywhere around O day otherwise. It took 3 months because the 1st 2 i ended up dtd 6-7 days before O because of wacky cycles f/bf'ing

Hi boygirlmama,

Just wondering - when did you ovulate after your +OPK as i see you DTD then. Just curious if it was next day or after..

Many thanks

My friend is a nurse; she had a boy then 3 girls. Her younger sister is also a nurse and has 2 boys. However, the younger sister had a bigger gap between kids, she exercises moderately and is less stressed.

My best friend growing up is the daughter of a nurse. Her mom had 3 daughters while very stressed, irregular cycles, underpaid and working erratic shifts including nights. She had her tubes tied. Then 10 years later she had a tubal reversal, had gained weight, PCOS tendencies, new management position with steady daytime hours, and had 2 boys.
