ah - but I do know, because it was a slightly drunken unprotected shag and then reverted to using condoms (was about to have coil put back in next period!)

so pretty sure it was that day, if I have remembered dates correctly!

morning sickness = girl
none = boy

is your bump all out front/ - boy
or do you just look fat at the sides?

what if you had sex before and after ovulation? you'd never know would you?

BibiJesus · 06/12/2008 20:23

I'd say girl - but it is all compete guesswork

oh yes, some friends did the needle test (same sort of thing) and was a girl according to that

any other old wives tales?

OK dinny they say (old wives tale) that if you tie your wedding ring (or presumably any other ring) on a thread and hold it over your bump, if it goes round and round it's a girl, and if it goes side to side it's a boy.
Well I did it with both mine, and was right both times!!!!

dinny - it's NOT always the case that women ovulate 14 days before their period!

mmm, so you ALWAYS ov 14 days before period?

that means on my cycle it's day 11...

HMMMMMMM

girl maybe as you had sex before ovulation.

Flier · 06/12/2008 18:53

well, one theory is that you should have sex 2 or 3 days before ovulation for a girl and the day or day after for a boy. On a 28 day cycle, ovulation would be around day 14.

(it worked for us!)
