Wife's Tales...Me and Hubby decided!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Booboo'smommy · 10-27-2008, 12:53 PM

Well, me and hubby decided that within 6 months(3 months before our wedding) that we'd like to try for another baby!

Now, we would really like to have a girl if possible as I have a step-son and baby Alex(so 2 boys)...I was wondering if anyone can tell us some of the ''wife's tales'' you heard of when it comes to having a baby girl...

If anyone would like to post some of your ideeas here me and hubby would really appreciate it!

I am so excited!!!

I looked at the chinese lunar calendar for my babies. I did not use it on my first two, but my last i did because i had 2 girls and really wanted a boy. But- it was right on my girls too, my age and my month of conception made me having girls. Here is a link for that. People have had real good luck with this.

Ha, I don't believe in stuff like that being as it's the man's sperm that determines the sex of the baby... but that was correct on Amelia.

I am not an expert but I heard once that....

Male (Boy) sperm are faster than Female (girly) sperm... which has something to do with what you will have...

If you are ovulating and all that (whatever the technical term

) when you do your business then the boy sperm get first crack

, but if your bits haven't started to be ready for the little wigglers.. (whatever the technical term is

) then the Boy sperm go on their merry way with nothing to crack open while the Girly sperm are still traveling along... (for up to four days) and then they WIN and get the egg when it comes along because they hadn't died off yet... or something like that... :shrugs:

Sorry, never really took the sex ed class or have had the ability to speak in adult terms on the subject...

Not really a myth as much as it is a science that I have butchered with my explanation...

I don't know about wives tales but the best site I ever used was fertilityfriend.com. I also used the clearblue fertility monitor (SO worth the money) since you can only get pregnant 3-4 days out of the month. Sadly, we lost ours on our first try, but we are planning to try again soon. Babycenter.com forums are also a great place to talk to others trying.

That was wrong with me... my mom was 28 and I was conceived (ew) in september.. I was supposed to be a boy.

I used this calendar and it was right on point for all 3 kids! pretty cool huh lol and yes the spern determines the sex of the baby but a woman plays a part in it as well, because the relative acidity or alkalinity in her body affects the survival rate of the X carrying sperm. so basically the woman's chemical balance or the timing of sex can alter the chances of having a girl.

heres the chart I used its a bit different my cousin just used this and planned her girl as well...it worked!
