anyone who swayed girl & got a girl with DH (older than 35) taking LR

[pinkplspls]

I just wondered if there were many ladies here, who's husbands took Liquorice Root but were older than 35

The swaying statistics spreadsheet has such good results from LR but it doesnt show DH age, I just wondered if many of you used it with older partners.

My DH is 36 we've concieved 5 boys so far, so i'd be worried to exclude it, i'm thinking if Maybe we dont abstain but perhaps do CFR or something, or maybe do one dose of LR or just two rather than the recommended three.

Hi
Yes my husband is 40 and took liquorice root every other day, not sure of the dosage. I don't think he took it for the whole cycle either. He was pretty bad at remembering to take it. We have two boys and are expecting a baby girl in february.

Many have done, I will occasionally use the LR for guys up to 40 if they seem in good health and have no family history of health problems.

The reason I do not recommend it for you guys is because of the history of issues with the pg. I think you need to have healthy sperm meet healthy egg.

.....oh, that would make perfect sense. i guess i am really hoping my sway will work and get me my girl, as i have a lot of faith in the fact that a girl wont have the same genetic problems my sons have suffered.

DH did take LR when we concieved our first son with the condition..., I hope that wouldnt of been why?

i'm really nervous now that without LR my sway will fail, the stats arnt great without LR....

I seriously doubt it but I personally like to err on the side of absolute caution.

You can see from what you wrote right here that the LR is not any sort of magic bullet.

You guys need to be VERY careful about reading too much into the stats we keep on this site.

Those are not "blind, side by side, controlled variable" studies. They are people who were doing a lot of other things to sway, and a lot of times when people are doing a more relaxed sway, they tend to leave stuff out. All the stats tell us is, yes, people are getting girls while taking LR, and people are also getting girls while NOT taking LR. It is nothing magic at all.

thanks, i bet your fed up of saying there's no magic bullet!! i guess i just dont want to go through anything i have previously & am convinced if i concieve a daughter there will be no chance of that, obviously a healthy baby is more important than anything to me, given what i've been through, so LR is probably best left out.

i'm still learning... and grateful for your advice
