I know this is older, but are there any harder statistics on gender in back to back babies? I had read elsewhere that breastfeeding could actually suppress a hormone (goine-something?) that would result in a boy sway.
Currently ~21 weeks pregnant with a girl and hoping for a boy assp. My SO and I got pregnant on the first try (sex 4-5 times in suspected fertile window), second cycle off BC, which makes me wonder if I have high conditions, because I unintentionally swayed girl with my high exercise (4x a week weights, but tons of cardio with biking and sports) and very low calorie diet (BMI of 20 and grappling with a relapse of my ED before I got pregnant much more quickly than expected).
Results 31 to 40 of 46

Oh okay. I am just doing cardiovascular myself. Did you take multivitamins?

Not sure if you mean me, melisha, but I took a prenatal for probably 4+ months before conceiving, and a prenatal DHA at least 1 month before conceiving. Did both cardio and weights, but cardio was probably the bigger factor in my fitness at that time.
Still not getting clear sources though for breastfeeding's sway or not
(my MIL breastfed all three boys when she conceived them, but they were also 16 and 14 months apart, so I don't know which had the biggest factor... she always found out she was pregnant, too, because they'd start pulling away from the milk!)

Those factors still actually swayed pink - you just had enough other blue factors to overwhelm them. Likely diet was a huge factor.

Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

I dont know. I'd have to know her whole lifestyle, body, etc - which I don't! My point is, pink factors sway pink for everyone, they don't magically sway blue for certain women. And every baby regardless of gender was conceived via a combo of blue and pink factors.

I really hope I have girl twins or a girl. Or boy and girl twins.
