Hi,
We are TTC our 3rd child and I am just wondering is it possible to fall pregnant a day or two after your period?
And also, not that I really mind, but we have 2 boys and as this will be our last child and I looking for suggestions on how to concieve a girl.
I'd be grateful for any advise.
Thanks.

been there done that. 2 boys, wanted girl, got one.
do it earlier in the cycle. and more often

get hazel chesterman phillips' book "how to choose the sex of your baby the natural way"
I wrote everything down to suss out my cycle and did it entirely by timing. also had a personna monitor, tho that isn't necessary and in practice helped a bit but wasnt essential. do the deed before you ovulate - female sperm swim slower but live longer than male ones, so chances are you conceived the boys at ovulation - i know i did cos we had scans(saw the egg that made DS1, unromantic as it may be) and ovulation tests for DS2.
any help?

thanks os much, yes i had heard to have sex earlier, so my period finished on Wednesday and we had sex on Wed night, but thanks to DS2 we couldn't have sex last night so i am hoping to tonight!
so hopefull yif i keep that up until ovulation i might get lucky with a girl.
the worst part is people expecting that you are going to be dissapointed with a boy, which i definatly won't be. so whatever will be will be i spose.
thanks again.
