Moon signs and gender?
Hi girls,
I read on another side about moon signs and how they are supposed to influence gender (boy/girl if the egg is fertilized in a boy/girl moon).
Though I do not really believe in this theory, I can't stop thinking about it.
Is there any evidence about it? If so, why should we "sway" at all?

My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
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

Like the other ladies said, it's just a load of phooey. If it were true 100% of the time then there would be no point in swaying and all we'd have to do is look at a moon signs calendar to pick a date. It doesn't work like that.

While the amount of moonlight when you conceive ~may~ sway the teensiest amount (and while I seriously doubt this is the case you can read about it here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...naception.html) I do not believe in the moon signs at all. If swaying works, it is because something in your environment and/or your husband's environment favors the conception of a certain gender physically, biologically, because one gender vs. the other may have a better chance to survive to adulthood to pass down genes to future generations. It makes NO SENSE that the moon and astrology could do that.

Oh and my personal opinion is that certain other swaying sites like to make swaying so difficult that no one can do it right, so they always have something to look at and say "oh yes you messed that up so it's your fault your sway didn't work".

That's exactly what I was told when DS2 was a failed sway. I was told I failed because I didn't do anything with ions.

Btw no real astrologers believe that when you conceive has any impact on gender. So it isn't even supported by astrology. As a fairly serious amateur astrologer I'm baffled by how this theory even came about in the first place. I do believe in astrology, enough to try to plan when I give birth, but not this crap.

and I also believe in astrology possibly having affects on personality as well, I know people think I dismiss some of this stuff out of hand but I don't. Your Zodiac Sign, Your Health - The Atlantic
