OK, so as long as I have a healthy baby I'm not fussed!

But, seeing as I have one DS who I adore, and I love being his mum, I like the idea of having another DS.

But here is an opportunity for a non-scientific experiment. I've heard lots of tricks and tips on how to conceive a boy/girl, and thought I could try them out and if I get pg (obv it's not easy...) and find I'm having a boy, then...QED! Or not!

What have you heard? Tell me your tips!!

Boys sperms need to be closer to the cervix apparently so deeper penetration (ahem) positions are better....!

I heard boy sperms are fast but short lived, girl sperms were slower but last longer...

So if you wanted a boy have sex right before you ovulate (if you can find out) rather than a day or so before...

It's all a bit hit n miss tho if you ask me..

OOh and to mention, google chinese calendars to predict boy/girl... Happened to come out right for my DS, and aparently will be another DS if I conceive this month...

Ok, scientific experiment in action!! Well, maybe not just yet becuase I'm nowhere near ovulation.
