The big players and the history of egs

EGS started back when someone from AU thought about o+12 (history of o+12 is found on ig).  She successfully swayed for a girl.  The next person was on the determing sex board.  She figured out the lime/semen tbm.  I chatted with her a few times (sorry I cant remember her name, if someone does pleas pm me and I'll up date this post).  She successfully swayed for a girl as well.  Then one day I was research high tech methods all upset that I couldn't afford to do it.  Thats when I ran across a cow study about freezing sperm swaying for gender.  I made a post on the determing sex forum about it and Shawell (our resident biologist) joined in the fun.  With her help we came up with GDC/SU and Su, MSU.  She chose not to sway and moved on.  I on the other hand went with MSU and got our boy.   The next big player was Rev (from ig) and the other gals that helped with the diets.  Finally we have the ladies in the EGS forum working on the one main problem with su and msu: getting the ew to float.  Those ladies are a huge help as well.  All this started back in the end of 2007.

Further explanation of ions

after reading dozens of studies it goes like this:

summer = negative ions = favors girls

Fall= mix of ions with slightly more positive= slightly favors boys

Winter= positive ions = favors boys

Spring= mix of ions with slightly more negative ions= slightly favors girls

remember that

full moon= positive ions =favors boys,

a new moon = negative ions= favors girls

Also, if you live in a warmer climate the seasons will have less of effect.  the seasons work with ions in two ways. First the distance of the sun (effects everyone) and second the temperature.  Some people (like in Hawaii) the temps never get cold so this will have a less effect.

Also weather can change ions to.  A cold front brings in more positive ions (but the storm before it has negative ions).  A warm front more native ions.

A quick summery is all things nature has negative ions and all things powered have positive ions

More info on ions can be found in FAQ forum on ig.

The 7 factors of swaying

The 7 sway factors was a term I came up with in 2008.  If you read my previous post on how its all connected you will understand.  You can't just pick one factor over the other as you do not know which one is most important for you. However,  Diet seems to play a HUGE role.  It controls pH, mineral ions and hormones.  The new information is all very very fascinating.  Just wanted to give you a heads up.. if you going to skip something  DON'T SKIP THE DIET!  Either do the:

  1. IG diet
  2. French diet
  3. or the Trivers Willard Hypothesis

    What ever diet you do, do it 110+%

However, I feel you still need to sway with all 7 factors at 100%.  The seven factors are:

  1. pH- this means the pH caused by diet, hormones, ions, supplements and douches. A douches is not as good as changing your pH through oral methods.
  2. Minerals- You NEED to track your Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium.  For ttc a girl and ttc a boy you have different targets to meet.  Minerals are first obtained through diet then supplements.
  3. Diet- It is very important to stick to the gender diet as posted in the FAQ forum on IG.  1000's of hours have gone into this diet.  It is more than just a swaying diet as it encompasses  all the studies (gender diet, pH, ions, minerals) into one diet.
  4. Hormones-  This is only controlled through supplements, diet and drinks.  Studies show that  hormones play a huge role is swaying
  5. supplements- I put this in the 7 sway factors because it backs up so many of the factors. 
  6. Timing-  Many studies say that Timing does not work.  However 3 newer studies say it may.  Because of the new studies I have left Timing in the sway factors.
  7. Ions-  Ions can effect the polarity of your egg and your pH.  Ions come from many different sources and some people are as effect by them as others. 

I almost made cm an 8th factor but decided to leave it out due to confusion.  If you get the 7 factors right then cm should fall into place.  If not cm is very important and needs to be right.  For ttc a boy you want ewcm and for ttc a girl you want creamy to dry cm.

EGS and the docs

Some have asked what doctors think of Extreme Gender swaying.  Let me first say my doc that was with me for my fist 2 pg believed in swaying with diet and pH.  She had 2 boys and used it to get a girl.  I was talking to her about this and she really convinced me on the diet- so much so that I almost didn't persue EGS (but God had other plans).  Next I ran into that biologist on the Internet.  She thought my ideas were great (Especially after reading the studies) so she helped me come up with the steps. Then when I first posted EGS MSU a doctor contacted me threw email all mad.  This doc felt that MSU should only be done by in a lab where people have to pay for it; said I was taking money away from customers by allowing them to sort sperm in there bathrooms (first doc to admit we were actually sorting sperm).  Then months later another doc contacted me threw ig pm.  Said he looked at my studies i found and the steps and was truly impressed- him and his wife were going to do it them selfs!  Then later when I had my miscarriage; my new doc explained to me that no amount of 'sperm playing'  would damage the sperm what so ever; that it was completely save and didn't cause my mc.  The that next week  yet another doc got a hold of me saying that he was also impressed and to let me know that everything we were doing and just wanted to let me my mc was not my fault.  So docs are reading ig especially egs and it is 100% safe.

The attempt

Right away we began ttc again.  My cycles were as screwy as ever; 38+ days and sometimes not o'ing at all.  All the while we kept at msu.  To me the best sway possible is more important then another baby.  I would rather not have any more kids than not get the best sway out there.  So if it took me years; I would do msu along with the 7 things.  The diet got old fast; but we kept at it never giving up.  I had to find something to fix my cycles so I would at least O.  That when I read about soy in place of clomid.  I tried it and it made me O!  But the first time I got a bfn.  The second cyle on it I got a bfp!  Ok here is my attempt that got us our  boy:

http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/p/38238/390194.aspx#390194

Here I just copy and pasted it..

Ok!  LOl on cycle day 30 I got a +opk- a strong one!.  So this cycle I decided we would do our attempt at night because I think I might be missing O waiting till the next morning.  So as I'm getting things ready my mom calls and says they are going to come up to visit!!!  I told her my house was a mess but they said they didn't' care.  So I stopped planing and went to cleaning my house.  Got it cleaned and had a fun visit.  They left at 8:30 that evening and then I went right back to getting ready.  Dh took a caffeine pill and a musinex tablet and I cracked and separated my pasteurized eggs and also took a musinex tablet.  I did 2 eggs and their pH was 9.5.  I slightly beat them so they were more runny. I took them down stairs (our bedroom is down stairs) and turned on the hot water int he bathroom.  Then I sent the eggs (in a container) in the warm water to warm the eggs up.  then I cleaned the counter so I had a lot of space and took out my incubator our of the cupboard.  I plugged it in so it would warm up.  I took out my microscope and all the syringes (8 I think).  I set out the test tube and got the pH strips out to.  Then I tested my cm pH (Ewcm by the way) and it was 7.5.  So I did bs finger to raise the pH.  Then I went back up stairs to help dh put the girls to bed.  Then I went on Ig and ds board till 9:40 lol.  Then dh and I went and got a sample and I sucked it out of the condom and test the pH.  Dh was only a pH of 8 (probably because of the ice cream I let him have) but thats ok because I'm doing msu.  Then I placed the semen in the test tube- it was 3 ml.  Then I took 3 ml of warm egg whites and gently placed it on top of the semen.  Then I placed the test tube in the incubator at a 45* angle.  It sat in there for a hour with me checking on it every now and then to make sure the temp at 99*.  Then after an hour I took out the test tube and sucked off the top 5%.  I looked under the microscope and saw there wasn't' many sperm there so I sucked of another 5% and this time saw the super x swimmers.  I discarded that.  I took a different syringe and sucked up 2 1/2 ml of ew and placed that in my instead cup.  Then I check the semen in the microscope and say the slow swimmers.  Then I took the instead cup and slowly placed it inside me.  Then I went to bed and o'd 4 times lol.  I left in it all night and took it out the next morning.  That morning my temp dipped and then at 4pm my cervix turned hard which means I o'd at 5 am that morning.  So my idea to do an attempt the night before was perfect
