    Longer time to conceive = more boys???

    Hi ladies!

    What do you think about this? I didn't sway but still find the topic fascinating? I thought that the longer it takes to conceive, the more likely you are to have a girl? What are your thoughts? And if it took you a long time to conceive, what was the result?

    Everyone who has been TTC for over a year either has PCOS (sways blue) and/or is doing and taking tons of stuff to improve overall fertility (also sways blue)

    Interesting, a good friend who just got a BFP sent me this, she's hoping for a DD. She was super close to going in for fertility treatment, but at the 12th month got a surprise BFP. I told her I would post because I thought the longer it takes to conceive the less likely for a DS, because it's an indication of poor fertility. But I'm a recreational swaying reader and by no means an expert:-)

    We got pregnant first cycle off the pill and had a boy. Generally people I know who took awhile to conceive had girls. But I do think if it's taking a while to conceive you are more likely to do multiple attempts and other stuff that sways boy. Interestingly, anyone I know who has had an 'accident' has resulted in girls.

    I've always taken awhile to get preggo. With DS2 we were heading into cycle 14 and infertility testing even. We definitely were desperate and throwing everything but the kitchen sink at it just to get preggo, so yeah a lot of boy sway factors there.

    I do have PCO tendencies and I used to weigh more with all my pregnancies, and I never exercised so definitely was on the overweight side. The weight can make PCO issues worse so that might've contributed to making boys too.
    Me (38) and DH (38)

    SAHM military momma to DS1 (2004), DS2 (who's all boy but loves to dance, though not in a tutu!) (2006), DS3 (2009), and our rainbow baby girl DD1 (2017)

    early m/c Jan 2013

    Cycle #1 @ HRC (Oct 2014) - 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized and biopsied. 1XX and 1XY abnormal. 1XX no DNA found, rebiopsied and found normal, frozen.
    FET attempt #1 (Nov 2014) - cancelled due to functional cyst. FET attempt #2 (Jan 30, 2015) - NT. Remaining embie failed to thaw.

    May 2015 - started infertility treatments at OFC. Femara 2.5mg
    July 2015 - BFP after second round of Femara. Aug 4 2015 - 6w4d
    Dec 21 2015 - mmc 7w1d

    Apr 2016 - IVF Cycle #2. Converted to IUI because of uneven response and leading follicles.
    Apr 19, 2016 - IUI with 3 mature follicles (2 right, 1 left), post wash: 17mil, 94% motility and 89% rapid motility. BFN.

    June 3, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 5w.
    Sep 1, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 8w.

    Our rainbow baby girl arrived on Mon Aug 28, 2017 - "After every storm comes a rainbow". We are so thankful and grateful for every moment.

    Guys, please don't read much into this. The numbers were not overwhelmingly different from 50-50 (as are ALL sway tactics in the real world). That's why we combine things - because none of this is in any way magic bullets. Just hypothesizing.

    It took 2 1/2 yrs for us to conceive ds3. I have pcos, sle and aps. I do have to say even without realising it the previous months (before meds) we were only doing one attempt at +opk (not intentionally swaying girl at that stage), but the month i conceived we had 3 attempts in my fertile window. But i just pop boys out left, right and centre so i dunno lol
    (2007) (2011) (2014) (2017)

    Praying for GS to come to Australia for a little pink bundle!

    My son was a "hey! You're ready, I'm ready let's start trying!" 6 weeks later I took a pregnancy test and there was no mistaking how positive it was! But after coming to genderdreaming, I honestly am not surprised he was a boy (we were not swaying at the time) but reading through Atomics essays, my lifestyle and personality sway blue, big time!
