ok. this is an interesting theory. I have pcos and i have two girls. sis has pcos and she has 3 girls. in fact my gran had 4 girls and of all my cousins are predominately girls! 80% girl rate!
perhaps it is related to the irregularity of the cycle for many pcos women.????
to increase your chances of having a boy you need to DTD on the day you ovulate.
x sperm (girl) live for up to 5 days y sperm (boy) only live for 2-3 days.
so if you dont know when you Ov then you are just taking your chances and hoping you get it close. But the girl sperm live longer so they are hanging around waiting for the egg, which could show up at any time. I know i didnt explaoin that very clearly but in my head i know what i mean. statistically you are more likely to have a girl cos the girl ones live longer?????
also women with pcos generally have a little more trouble concieving, so possibly this means that they DTD more often. Which can decrease the amount of boy sperm available. for a healthy count of boy sperm you need to only dtd every 4-5 days but then this makes it harder to actually have boy sperm meeting the egg on O day.
AND, having pcos can mean a woman is more likely to be overweight (yes, thats me) and therefore suffering from things like heartburn, reflux etc. These probs in the gastro tract lead to increase in acid levels in the body. and acidity favours girl sperm and kills off boy sperm.
