Hi Mama's! I was wondering if any of you had tips for my husband and I. We would like to have another baby & are hoping for a boy. Any tips would be appreciated.

What can I do next?

PRAY!!!

I'm not one who believes any of that stuff you hear that says if you do it when it's a little cooler/warmer you'll have a girl/boy. I just believe in getting the "job" done and if you were meant to have a boy, then you'll have your boy!!

I think that's all there is to it. Good luck! ls

Stephanie T has it right. There are books about how to choose the sex of your baby, which explain it in detail. We had two girls and tried for a boy the third time and were successful. I also have at least 3 friends who were also successful. It's all about timing, so you have to chart your ovulation for a couple of months to know exactly when to try. Good luck!

We have two boys and we had sex exactly when I was ovulating... which is what they say to do when you want to try for a boy- for girl they say to do it a few days before you ovulate... Good luck!!!

Thank goodness Lori! I was waiting for that! In my opinion, God decides what your baby is, if you want a boy, ask him? What ever is meant to be will be! Good Luck!

This may sound stupid, but THINK "boy." I had two girls and we tried one more time for a boy. I had just seen the video for "The Secret" and so I tried to focus on a healthy boy. I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but I got a perfect baby boy. I may have focused too hard, however....he was 10 lb. 5 oz!! I hope you get your boy, it's fun. But girls rock.
