the seasons and swaying

[atomic sagebrush]

Southern hemisphere is just reversed, so boy peak is in Mar-May and girl peak is in Sept-Nov.

the further you are from the equator, the more this phenomenon may affect you!!

Hmmm. Lots to think about. I'd been thinking more of when I'd like to have the next baby (in terms of DS1 starting school etc). Probably should dump those plans and think more about the month of TTC a girl!

[atomic sagebrush]

Well, first and foremost I'd always put my family's needs ahead of the month - it's no magic bullet, just a statistical variation that seems to help somehow. Plenty of opposites are born in both girl and boy peaks. (I have 2 boys conceived in girl peak, and my girl is in the boy peak!)

Interesting! 3 of my sons were concieved in Feb, one son concieved in late Aug, and my only daughter was concieved the first week of September. So I guess this isn't such a major factor for me. I am hoping if we do decide to TTC to start in spring aiming for a late winter-early spring baby. Maybe I should start in March instead of May like I was thinking to take advantage of the slight increase in odds.

I have 6 boys and they were conceived in February,April,May,July,October,December. So seasons don't matter to my body it just attracts to the blue .

Please understand, it's something that very well may affect all of us, it's just that some of us have so many other factors swaying one direction that the effect of the seasons is neutralized. I have two boys in girl peak months, and my girl in boy peak months, so many exceptions. It's just that overall there seems to be SOMETHING swaying for people who conceive in those months for reasons that we cannot explain.

If you have the choice of TTC in the peak months and not, then I really urge everyone to at least try to TTC in those months.

Hi everyone.. i was just wondering what "lifestyle" means in terms of swaying? I have one dd conceived early oct and i am trying to sway blue. I just came across this site about a month ago after being on the IG diet for the last 2 and half months. I've now been adding elements from here since i am a vegetarian and felt like i wasn't eating enough to raise my testosterone..Anyway just wondering what lifestyle pertains to... such as your diet, stress, pollutants where you live?

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes, exactly. Anything that's not diet, supps, jelly I kinda lump under the heading of "lifestyle" so exercise, competition, stress, smoking/drinking, pollutants, so on and so forth, those are all lifestyle things that may sway.

I've also got 6 boys (1st boy missed miscarriage at 16wks) and I was wondering about seasons. My niece has 3 girls and always seems to have them just before I get pregnant like I've missed the boat for a girl again!
My boys were conceived in February, March, November, April, June and July???
I'm going to try to ttc pink one last time in November '12 and see what happens.

Statistically speaking, November is a boy-friendly month. I did get my girl in November, though. Good luck.
