One of the things that I've been really interested in since I first learned about swaying is ph. It makes a lot of sense to me that low ph would favor girls and high ph would favor boys. But how much does ph sway? Is it more effective than timing...

So far, I've looked at how 1 BD time, 3 BD times, and 4+ BD times sway, so I figured it was time to look at how 2 BD times sway as well. :) There were 72 boy charts and 65 girl charts, resulting in a preference for boys of 52.6%. This is the breakdown...

Someone suggested I discuss what was talked about with all the past people. So I will label these by parts. This is party one and will included the inventor of preseed, the acijell and vinegar study I cant really recall the year it was, but when preseed...

Another theory I have been interested in testing is whether extended frequent BD - that is, frequent BD for longer than just the 5 days prior to ovulation - favors girls. I know that BD from AF to O is a popular girl timing method. However, I have been...

Hinesight is always 20/20, now that everything is over, I am confident that I had a 2 day cut off and I think I had the best attempt I could do being that I threw my attempt together as it was happening. I mean, this month was 'supposed' to be...

Ok, its probably less dramatic than it feels, just because I feel like Veruca Salt, 'I want my girl and I want her now!' So I've still been testing for ovulation even though I thought it passed by, just incase I was wrong, and I was! So yesterday...

But geez does it feel like it! I have absolutely convinced myself that I ovulated yesterday even though 4 OPKs have said no. I am sure if you are on ingender you know more about your CM then you ever wanted to know just like me, and I am here to tell...

We decided that we will not BD tonight because I am really really sure tomorrow is my ovulation, if not then it absolutely has to be the next day, which since we bd'd last night, should give me a 2-3 day cut off. Thats what we are hoping. based on...

We had a perfect baby boy on 08/18/08 but as time has passed by we both have become very excited at the idea of having a girl as well. At first I did feel so desperate to have only a girl(because we don't want too many kids) that I only wanted to...

For anyone who is interested, our first sway attempt resulted in a BFN, so now I don't have to stress about how I ruined the timing part of my sway. Instead, now I can start stressing about how maybe I'm too old, my eggs are all rotten, and I'm...

This month was our first attempt at ttc another dd, and as seems to happen after the best of swaying plans are laid - everything goes awry once you make your first attempt. :) I ovulated 1-2 days earlier than normal, and in fact, in all the time I have...

With the additional 200 charts, frequent consecutive BD is now showing a small preference for girls - but it still appears to be a much less effective girl timing method than others we have looked at. Frequent, consecutive BD is defined as charts where...

Even though frequent BD through ovulation is pretty much 50/50 overall, frequent BD that AVOIDS ovulation does appear to favor girls. Once again, frequent BD is defined as at least 4 BD times between 5 days prior to ovulation through the day afterward...

After adding another 200 charts, frequent BD continues to be a 50/50 timing pattern - however, it does sway for either boys or girls depending on whether the frequent BD includes the day of ovulation. Overall the amount of BD on boy and girl charts is...
