Trying to Find Out How to Conceive a Girl!

I am trying to conceive a girl. I now have 2 boys and I am scared that my next one will be another boy. Are there any ways to increase my chances of having a girl? I dont want to have to go through so many boys before I get my girl. I am also debating on whether or not I should wait because I am a full time student, have a full time job, and I just had my second son almost 7 months ago. My older son is gonna be 3 this October. If I wait till I finish college, I will have another baby in about 5 years, but if I dont wait, I can have another baby now so that I dont have to start all over again in 5 years. I only wanted to have two children, but I want a girl so badly. Please help!

What can I do next?

I also have two boys and have always wanted a girl. I do not have any suggestions on how to concieve a girl but I do have this advise to pass on...You better want a 3rd child MORE than you want a girl. Something to think about. It is something a friend shared with me and I think it is a wise statement. Needless to say, I still just have my two boys!

I was hoping to have a girl too but that didn't happen. I'm pg w/another boy. My mom says that my husband's side is too strong..meaning he has an older brother, him and a fraternal twin, a sister and a younger brother. My mom was suppose to have another boy between me and my brother but it was stillborn. But on both sides of my dad and mom's side there are more boys than girls. So, I don't know.

One of my friends is swearing by this XY book that you can get at Barnes n Noble. She said another friend of hers went by the book and conceived a girl. But, who knows.

Hi G.,
My husband and I have one boy. We're hoping for a girl for our next baby. But, the most important thing to us is just having another baby. If it's a boy, that will be just as fantastic! I would like to add that having a boy, or a girl is up to the male chromosome, the X Y chromosome that is. Alison said a very important message, and that is wanting another baby, more than a specific gender. Good luck trying. I wish the best for you and your family. G.

My husband and I are in a similar situation. We have two beautiful girls at home and are going to try for baby #3 within the next year, and we would love for it to be a boy, but of course we'd be thrilled with another girl. Have you ever heard of the Chinese Gender chart? It held true for both of our daughters so we are going to follow it to try to conceive a boy. It's not completely accurate but so far for us it is, and it also is for a lot of people we know. Good luck!

The only way to make sure that you have a baby girl, is to adopt one. Or look into gender selection research, which isn't approved by our government.
