Gender Calender???
Hello all! I'm a mom of 2 wonderful daughters. Recently, my husband and I have decided to try for 3rd one, hoping for a boy. I heard about this Chinese Gender Calender. Has anyone tried this before? I looked at it and it was right for my first but wrong for my second. I really regret for looking it up because now I'm all caugt up on this. Basically, I won't be able to have a boy for quite a while but we kind of want to start trying now! I'm worried if I go against this calender I will end up with a girl, again! I don't know what to do. I really kick myself for looking at this gender calender..... Please help me. I need some advice!
So What Happened?™
First of all, I want to thank you all for your advice. I'm truely thankful and amazed on how much support I got from all of you moms! Thanks a lot!
I'm going to try not let this bother me too much. I think it probably makes to go with more scientific ways. So, that brings to my other question. I heard that "position" matters. So which position will bring the sperms closest? Does it depend on the natural shape of the penis as well, like if it's pointing straight, or downward or upward? I appologize for being so rude and graphic. I just want to make we're it right. Sorry about this! I heard about the food part. I guess I will have to eat food that are not acidic for my body, then. Once again, thanks for all your help. You are the best!

Think of it this way - if every woman got pregnant (as an example) in June do you really think that ALL 26 year old woman who conceived in June had a girl? I just made up the month, age and gender but basically just saying it isn't reliable.
Good luck!

NOTHING you psychically do, or plan...can change whichever chromosome from your husband implants. Sorry.

use a pencil needle and thread and it will tell you the sexes of your kids. put the thread in the needleand the needle in the eraser and hold it over your wrist sideways is a girl and up and down is a boy but it will show miscarriages too. my ex mil swears by it. mine was wrong. mine shows boy girl boy but I did have a miscarriage. when the pencil stops you knowthe sex and how many kids you will have. :)

Total bullcrap. Mine said that I was having a boy. Well, I have 2 girls.
Just like horoscopes... it's fun to look at, but just that. Fun.

It is all in the males chromosomes. They have both the X and the Y. We only have the X - So if you don't get your boy you can always blame it on Hubby. LOL
I don't really think any of the calendars or other tales really can determine what gender child you are having. Like Bethany said - it's fun to look at but not accurate at all.
Everyone told me I was carrying a girl because of my belly size and shape, or something (this was 14 years ago so my memory is vague). I had a boy.
Whichever gender you have, you know you will that child with all your heart and that is all that matters.

I looked at that calender out of curiousity between pregnancies. I think it was wrong for my first. Anyway both were born early December and both about 1 week overdue so they should be same gender. Wrong..boy and girl.
i don't see how this calendar could be accurate otherwise all babies in the hospital in a given week would be the same gender.
