LUV my 3 Furrs & Alex Donating Member | Big Big Big Question If someone has 3 sons and she wants to have a baby girl next, is this possible? I mean is it possible to choose the sex of the baby? Can someone suggest any sites? Is this done in the US or anywhere ealse? I am not asking for me, don't worry...LOL I just had one.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | The Lord up above handles that one.......I pray that's the way it stays. She can pray & leave it in the Lord's hands. My priority, personally, would pray for the baby to be "healthy".

LUV my 3 Furrs & Alex Donating Member | She is such a good mommy to all 3 of her sons and she has always prayed for them to be healthy, but we all have sometimes ''wishes''...I know when I wasw pregnant I was hoping secretly that it will be a girl but when Alex came I was soooooooo happy he was healthy no matter if it was a boy and I love him sooooooooo much only God knows. All I am saying is that she probably has the same secret hope that I have had but she just doesn't want to keep on trying just to have another boy again.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | I know exactly what you mean. When I was pregant, I always looked at little boy outfits.....well, I had a girl, a beautiful baby girl! The Lord knew what he was doing. Wouldn't have changed it for the world!! She has truly been my blessing! Good Luck to your friend!

| In my biology class we learned theres a thing called a Cytometer that sorts sperm cells by size. The smaller ones carry male chromosomes and the larger ones carry female so that can greatly increase chances of one or the other, but don't know where to get it done.

| I have heard of this and researched it....There are ways to increase the chances of conceiving one sex or the other... Timing when you "try" can affect whether the baby will be a boy or a girl...the closer to ovulation, the greater the chance of a boy. The X sperm are slower, but can live longer, while the Y sperm are a little weaker but can swim faster. Also, caffeine intake, the natural chemistry of the woman's body, sperm count, and other factors come into play. This website covers it: http://www.fertilinet.com/sexofbaby.htm

| Ok SO yes you can "choose" the sex of your child but Its VERY expensive and from what i hear can be painful and a long Drawn out procces what they Basically do is collect speciman from the Man then pick out females and then invitro ...Heres The Catch thou Its not 100% and I think they may even scraps the womans eggs to make sure it takes which is painfull plus all the horomones youd be on with that being said I personally think that the sex of a child is in gods hands but yes it can be "medically" done I have 2 Boys and REALLY want a lil girl Im personally going to adopt but not just for the reason that i want a girl we have other resaons but that will be sometime from now but her name is Going to Be Mattie (my dh is Matt) !!! |

| I don't think it is legal in the US yet, except for studies they've done. But there is a gender selection thing where they put a die on the sperm. The x glows brighter than the Y so they seperate it that way. And then they only AI you with the X sperm. It's not 100% but it's usually pretty accurate. I've also wondered if you could do in vitro and choose the sex. You would grow the embryos and maybe it's possible to figure out which ones are XX before you implant them? I've always said if I decided to have a child I'd only want a girl and would seek out gender selction...but I do not want any children. You might look into other countries to have it done if you're really serious about it

| Coming from someone who thought they knew....LOL Well, I had 5 pregnancies...and all five were boys.....miscarried 2, so still ended up with 3 boys... I read about timing, acidity, position, frequency....bla, bla bla....did them all....even hung upside down to aid in the "travel"...LOL...tried, the acidity thing too.....meaning eating acidic foods.....tried less sex, more sex....you name it....I DID IT....but still had boys...!!!! I laugh now cuz I say...the good Lord must have felt I did a really good job at raising boys......or maybe he felt that I did NOT do a great job, and was giving me more opportunities to get it right....LOL... I say, it is luck, but heck, research and trial and error is part of the fun..... Good luck... |
