Hoping to concieve a particular sex?

[prizeelliott]

Hi, i'm just wondering if anyone has any experience or advice about natural sex selection? Have 3 wonderful DD's, a little DS would be the cherry on top! (Before anyone jumps in... I realise I am so lucky to have 3 healthy children, and I do realise that the sex of the baby is irrelevant).

Would be great to hear from anyone in same or similar boat xxx

Amen to that, NoMoreMarbles. I have made some wonderful friends in Conception.

I'm in the same boat as many others and am struggling to conceive. OP I didn't find your subject offensive. Some people have problems. Some don't. As Northey says it's a public forum. FWIW I've met some of the most supportive women I could ever wish for on here. And also some of the most self obsessed, whining idiots. Like real life really!

p.s. Thanks for the supprt marbles!

well that could have been proofread better...

I have no idea what a rosy Perch is btw. I just thought it sounded like a valentine's ish kind of a fish.

I quite like ponuces actually. What could it mean?

Maybe it's a word for a second time around barren, like moi?

A rosy Perch hey Boo

Barren girl in the ring, tra la la la laah, there's a barren girl in the ring....

That can be the second verse of "Three bars and an egg".

Oh good, I was a bit worried I might have morphed from someone who started off defending her right to post into someone who represented all the evil, just because I'd kind of continued having the conversation. And that I was the arsewipe and everyone else thought so too!

Oh dear we've barged in on this Fred haven't we?

I feel like there should be a siren going off WOO WOO the Barrens are here!!

Northey, you are an utter arsewipe and don't you forget it

Arsewipe .

Beeyatch that you are!

Oooh it's raining fish in here. Essentially, what bugs said. I hadn't realised initially op but I think I commented last time you posted. I didn't take offense at either post but suggested researching the Shettles method last time in fact Shettles came up on predicative text on my phone!
Fwiw I stand with one foot in the conception and one in the infertility forum, I have hope after two years I will some day conceive. I need the hope the conception board gives and the support that the infertility thread has. The basic message of now run along to the infertility thread is frankly offensive.
OP sometimes it's about how yiu take things...MN is not a softly softly forum. If you stick around, you'll find a great support network. But if you don't like it, no-one is forcing you to stay.

bugger what did you write?!

This seems to have got a little out of hand.

I can see both points of view. It is in conception and surely that should be about all conceiving. Whether you conceive easily or struggling. But I imagine to people who are struggling it is similar to the 'I don't want August/Xmas baby' threads. When they would do anything for a baby of any sex born in any month.

I didn't realise the OP had posted a similar thread recently. I think she's been out of order in the replies she's posted and starting the other thread in AIBU.

I have used the Shettles method and according to the scan it's worked. I never ever would have tried it if I would be disappointed by a boy.

OP, the best thing you could do now is apologise for calling someone a bitch. Draw a line under it all.

Good luck ttc.

By the way, OP, while I had some sympathy with your initial post and the reaction to it, on reflection and re-reading, your subsequent posts have said quite a lot about you.

Hope that helps!

HI OP i dont think you are being insensitive or rude at all! if you were then surely everyone who starts a thread on here saying i am pregnant would be insensitive to those who have been ttc for a long time!

check out the website Ingender it is very detailed and has many forums with people discussing such gender sways and if they worked. the gender girl sway is very hard mainly to do with diet. there are seven factors of it. i have one living DS and two late MMC ds's, so i have conceived 3ds's too and have been told medically i can only have one more child, so i am trying to sway for a girl.

i dont think anyone on here should judge another persons opinions or struggles and if they read the title they would see the nature of it!

also the nature of trying to gender sway a conception is frowned upon as it is not natural and is trying to play god etc

In the same vein my family do not "believe" that IVF should exist as they believe that it is playing god in the same way as gender selection.

this is NOT NOT NOT NOT something I believe at all!!! I have PCOS! But i am just using it to illustrate that everybody has different beliefs and we should respect them all whether or not we personally agree. before i started my child bearing journey i would never have considered or probably agreed with gender swaying at all, but have reconsidered throughout my journey

I think it's what she said subsequently, princess. The actual original post was fine.
