Mmm interesting, dont know if i can believe it though, cause in World War1 the number of boys born out numbered the amount of girls been born, now can u imagine the stress going on around that time.

Check out paragraph 3 of this article:
http://cortisolconnection.com/ch5_2.php
'During periods of high cortisol production (stress, dieting, and sleep loss), our natural production of testosterone falls. Considering that women produce only about one-tenth the amount of testosterone found in men, any stress-induced drop in testosterone would be expected to affect women as much as or more than most men.'
Quite an interesting article in general actually.2005 2007 2009 2012

Damn. That sucks. This swaying crap is stressing me out already, and that article is stressing me out more! Ugh. I can't remember if I was stressed when I conceived my son or not, but I know I was when DD2 was conceived, because DH had just been laid off of his job and $$ was super tight.
I had heard that more girls were conceived during bad economic times, so that all adds up. I wonder what the gender ratio was during the depression?2004 2006 2010 2012

Hey, thanks Atomic for your reassuring message. I’m feeling a little better health wise although the thrush medication wasn’t helpful at all, I think it actually made things worse…?! Of more...
