Wishing for a Girl...

Here is an extremely helpful website:
www.baby-gender-selection-program.com
I haven't tried/proven it yet. I have a girl and would love a boy. Hope this helps.

My husband and I have three boys and a girl. We really wanted a girl so we adopted her.

Good luck!

There are lots of books on the subject (how to choose the sex of your baby is interesting). Honestly all you can do is come to grips with the fact that you have no choice on the matter and just wish for a happy healthy baby. If you set your heart on a certain sex you might be disappointed and that is no way to start a relationship with a baby. I would not have a baby until you get to this point. Children are a blessing no matter the sex and sometimes for parents with one sex it is hard to accept the chance that you will not have a child of the other sex.

Good luck

Okay how can I put this tactfully...After being intimate with your husband, lay flat on your back for about 10 minutes or so.

It worked for me. I have a son and a daughter. Of course there are no guarantees.

Good luck and I hope you are successful with having a girl. Keep us posted.

Warm regards,

Hi N.! Well, this is a little "too much information" but here goes...
My husband and I tried to conceive for about 8 months, so I know the exact date of conception. We did it "backwards" or "doggy style" and we ended up with a girl. We weren't specifically trying for a girl, but since I know the exact time in which we conceived that's my only advice for you.

Good luck ;)

I always knew I was having girls... I didn't know how to potty train boys, so I couldn't have one. Ha ha!

I have a theory that I have no way (or interest, frankly) of proving... people who know a lot of bigger familis and a lot of little children *tend* to have boys, while people who are the first among their circle, or who know a *lot* of people who have young boys *tend* to have girls.

I think mammals have a hormonal response to 'crowding' so where there are lots of babies, more of them will be boys, but when there are few, more girls appear.

Just a theory... never tracked it carefully... just haven't found any babies who *don't* fit. When I think to ask.

I have 3 boys and it was interesting to read everyone's post. I really wanted a girl too so we tried a 3rd time but it just didn't happen. Of course, I love my boys and would never trade them in a million years! I guess I should have tried to plan a little better with taking my temp, etc. like some of the moms posted since I thought we did 'try' to conceive a few days before I ovulated in order to have a girl. Boy (no pun intended), was I wrong! Good luck!

Well, there are a lot of old wives tails. However, it's purely genetics. The only two options you have to gaurantee a girl would be adoption or selective artificial insemination (they select only the fertilized eggs that are female) - both are very expensive I would assume.

I agree with the others that said to have a girl, have sex 2-3 days before ovulation. My husband and I did that and were blessed with a girl. Of course there is no way to tell if it really works, but a friend also did that and had a girl.

I definitely agree with those who said that if you think you can't deal with another boy then it's best to not have any more or to adopt. However, if you know that you'll be fine with a boy but just want to see if you can get a girl, then I say go for it. I also read the book How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby and followed the tips listed which many people have also written in their responses. I don't know if we can credit the book or just happened to get what we wanted both times we tried for girls, but we did get girls. Good luck!

Take everyone's advice or buy a sex selection book.
Best wishes

I have no advice for you except that the advice doesn't tend to work! I tried a lot of them to get a baby girl...but it's fun to try, right?

Mom of 3 boys!

LOL I don't think you can control that. It's all up to the male. I wished and hoped for a girl as well, thought my odds were GREAT (my family is ALL girls, daddy's family is 75% girls), but low-and-behold, here is my son! I guess if you're up for anything - google some chinese myths for conceiving a girl. I think they say on certains days of the week or month your chances are higher, not really sure! Good luck though!

This may sound crazy but...have sex 3-5 days before your ovulation. Girl sperms live longer than boy sperms, up to 5 days. That way when you ovulate, the girl sperms are the only ones left already doing the big swim to make it to the finish line first. Good Luck and let us know what happens!

how about just wishing for a healthy baby instead?

Nikki....

This is so exciting!!!! :-) Morgan will have another girlfriend if all works out or another boyfriend she's a little pimpstress!!! Either way it'll be a cute baby!!! Anyway I don't think it really matters when you do it, it's just the luck of the draw on which lil spermy makes his/her way down.. I do know though after I found out I was pregnant I did all the math and I actually got pregnant on the day I was ovulating. I wish you the best of luck!!!!

You can always go online and check out the chinese pregnancy chart. It tells you what you should have by the month that you got pregnant and how old you were when you got pregnant. It worked for me with my son, so you can check it out with your other 2 kids and see if it worked with them and then you can try to see what months it says you are most likely to have a girl. Good Luck!!

Check out the book "Choosing the sex of your child". It gives you all the info you need to have sex at the right time relative to ovulation for each sex, and how to tell you're ovulating. It worked for me, and a friend of mine. We both had girls and wanted a boy. Followed the book and we both had boys the second time.

Have fun!

there are books on this that people have found very helpful! Just remember a healthy baby is the most important:)
