the seasons and swaying

[Tiffani3]

Is it me or do you think this theory comes down to diet again though?
As naturally I tend to lose weight in spring ready for summer also eat very light meals salads etc, and sept-November I tend to start to put on a little weight changing my diet to more winter foods? Also ladies close to the equator who don't really have seasonal changes probably naturally won't really change there foods much through out the year hence the theory that they have more girls? (always eating spring/summer foods)
This is what I'm really hoping though as I want to ttc August!!!!!
I also conceived ds2 late August early September (but also was totally obsessed with 3.8% milk and crunchy nut cornflakes at the time when I conceived him lol) I conceived ds1 in October and ds3 in January all months where I defiantly wasn't dieting at all actually typical skinny boy mum to think I need to put on weight and eat very nutritious foods to conceive! Hence having three boys!! Lol
Does any one agree?

[BeadinMom]

It definitely makes sense!

I agree too! I have thought the exact same. My son was conceived at Xmas time = eating lots of rich foods and daughter was conceived in spring when I was being careful of what I ate in preparation for a holiday ( was ttc a girl with other sway methods I.e timing, douche, supps too). I too am ttc in august for a girl and hope that by doing the LE diet I will b
Mimicking spring time. GL

Hi Atomic really struggling to get my head around the swaying thing and really want to give it my all if we can't do HT. I'm in the UK and three boys conceived in April, Aug/Sept (very early sept i think) and nov/dec (i o'd right at start of dec). What months are best for me - do i need to wait until next year to get my girl? was planning to ttc in oct (either ht or natural) but maybe thats not right for us if its key boy time.... am really confused maybe this stuff does not work for me as i have boys at odd times throughout the year anyway

Please understand that this is a pretty small variation, there are still tons of babies of both genders conceived throughout the year. I have two boys conceived in girl months and my only girl was conceived in a boy month.

You do NOT need to wait to TTC until next year. It's just a little curiosity that may help in some way. If you feel good about your sway, TTC when it's right for YOU and your family. The info is interesting and so we keep it in mind, but no one should feel locked into TTC only in a few months out of the year based on this.

My boys were all conceived in September and DD was conceived in late December. I think diet can easily override season as a gender influence.

I was wondering about this the other day and thinking there's no way I can wait until it's "a girl season" to ttc, lol!!! 3 of my ds were conceived in June, 1 DS conceived in Jan/early Feb and my only DD conceived in March. I def think diet and lifestyle are more important swaying factors than season. Good luck with your sway

It does make sense and when I first heard of this study that is what I thought as well, but then when I looked into it a little bit more, it sounds as if they corrected for that (the same people also did a study where they looked at body mass and the seasons) and then some other evidence from other sources, seemed to show some seasonality affects on fertility as a whole.

i agree, I think diet and lifestyle are a gazillion times more important then seasons, but if you can have them working for you, it's best to have the info available.

Hate that I just remembered this - There is no way I can wait until feb to think about concieving just to get our little girl :-(

I found this quite interesting.
My eldest Daughter was conceived in August, my youngest Daughter was conceived in March.

Do you know what the conception moths would be for a boy In the southern hemispere? Like deep southern hemispere, like southern New Zealand south lol.
