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?

Well conceiving a child is hard no matter what. There is no true way to actually get the sex you want unless you are willing to fork out a lot of money and be a "lab rat". As far as having another child right now, it may sound good to get them out of the way while your young but in 5 years you are only going to be 29. Get your schooling out of the way first. You already have two children, a full time job and are a full time student...seems like you already have enough on your plate. As far as health wise you shouldn't have another baby this soon after giving birth because you need to give your body time to readjust and heal from having that child. If you only wanted to have 2 children in the first place then you should hold off anyway and see if you still want another one in 5 years. If you were meant to have a girl then God would have given you one. Believe me I wanted a girl but if you think about it, with a girl you have to worry about all the "penises" in the world going after her...with the boys you only have to worry about their one. You don't have to worry about your daughter coming home and saying she's pregnant from some guy. Look at it from every perspective before you go jumping into it. Cause you can try again but if you have another boy are you going to be disappointed?

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!

Are we seriously having this e-conversation? SERIOUSLY. FINISH SCHOOL! YOU ARE 23! Remember your kids are going to be so close together and they might want to go to college too. If you plan on helping them through school at all... try sending three to college at once. You are going to need the degree. As far as wanting a girl... you had better want a baby of ANY sex first before you even think of getting pregnant again.

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.

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.

I have two great girls and wanted a boy and the Chinese Gender chart was right with both my girls and we got our boy as well :) I know a lot of people that have use the Chinese Gender chart and got what they wanted. But of course its not 100%. I know having that drive to have one sex or another can be very hard to get over. We where very happy with our 2 girls and when I decided it was time for a boy I just couldnt get over the feeling but also I knew if I had another girl it was ok because really I just wanted another baby. If you are unsure about how you would feel if you had another boy then I would wait. You are very young, another few years to get everything in order isnt a bad idea. I had all my kids 4 years apart, and yes it was very hard to go back to the baby stage but I also wanted to know that I was ready for the next one. If in your heart you just really want another baby and the sex of the baby doesnt really matter (though of course it would be nice to get your girl) then there is nothing wrong with having another baby.
www.chinagold.com is one of the gender charting websites
Good Luck with what ever you decided on

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.
