Having a Better Chance of a Girl

Maybe you can adopt!

Personally I felt blessed with either sex as long as my baby was healthy.

LOL so you think you want a daughter, huh?
Let me send my two teenage girls to stay with you for a week, you'll change your mind pretty darned quick.
I love em but my God boys are so much easier!!!

In college there was a professor that talked about this. While she, of course, said there are no guarantees, I DO remember that increasing dairy can improve chances of a girl. I remember because she told a story of where she had told this to a class and a girl came up to her after and said that she would bet that her mom and dad would have liked to have known that information. She was one of 7 girls in her family. Her parents kept trying to have a boy. Turned out, they were dairy farmers! LOL Anyway, don't remember any other info or WHY the dairy made a difference, but that story has always stuck with me!

Everything is old wives tales with no amount of certainty to them.
The only thing we know for sure that was different when I got pregnant with our girl, our third child, was my husband was drinking a lot of energy drinks. My first 2 are boys and he wasn't drinking them at all when I got pregnant with them. I heard once that having the guy up his vitamin B of some kind or other makes it more likely to have a girl. Energy drinks have a lot of B vitamins Whether it's true or not, who knows.
The only sure way is to pay silly money to do gender selection in the lab or adopt or something along those lines.

Have sex 3-4 days before ovulation. Do not have sex the day before or day of ovulation.

Read up on the Shettles Method if you can. The theory is basically what I said above, but there is some more info. It still isn't a guarantee, of course, but when followed perfectly it brings the chances to more like 75-80% to get the gender you want.

Here's the book I read: http://www.amazon.com/How-Choose-Sex-Your-Baby/dp/0767926...

Nothing works %100 unless you do IVF and then only transfer the female embryos.

C.,

The ONLY thing that is 100% is having the IVF and doing gender selection or adoption.

I know that there are people out there that swear by a method they used...but really? I say adoption or IVF Gender selection.

Hope this helps!

You can try the Shettles method. We did.
And it worked 50% of the time. :)

I wanted all boys...I have 1 of each. And my DD is pure joy!

If you want to try for a girl, you should have sex several days before ovulation. It seems to have worked for us. Our oldest is our only girl. We had sex starting on day 10, and had it every other day until day 21. Our two boys were conceived on day 16-17 after having sex just once (when we weren't even trying to get pregnant).

According to the shettles method for a girl you have sex a few days before ovulation and for a boy on the day of ovulation. For me it was the opposite. Each time I tried only once so I know exactly what day I had sex and what day I ovulated. With my daughter it was the day of ovulation and with my son it was two days before. There is another method, I forget the name, that says the opposite of shettles. Basically for a girl have sex on the day of ovulation and the day after and for a boy have it earlier, 3 to 5 days before. I honestly doubt either one is correct, I pretty much believe it is random, especially based on my experience and the research I did on stats of people who have tried shettles and the other method. Honestly the stats actually supported the other method ever so slightly, but not enough to convince me it wasn't random. If anything I believe it is more likely something the father does, not the timing of the sex. I would do some research on that if I were you. Have fun!!!

If you get the book on the Shettles Method, it talks about ways to increase success in gender selection, but I believe that it is more accurate for boys. Good luck
