Choosing the sex - does anyone know of a way which seems to work?

[karma]

We are very lucky to have two gorgeous little boys, and would like to try for another baby later this year. Although another boy would be great, we would love a daughter, and I wondered if anyone knew of any particular ways to increase our chances of a girl - those Chinese charts don't seem to work in my experience. (I know that we are very lucky to have had a baby at all looking at some of these other threads, and at the end of the day would be grateful for another child of either sex.)
I have already posted on the pregnancy link and had some useful responses. Thanks for any advice.

Hey Karma,

Hope you are well. I've 3 boys and pg again and am hoping this one isn't a girl. I always wanted a girl but now I've got boys don't think I'd know what to do with a pink one!
Had a friend with two boys who really wanted a girl she bathed in orange juice - apparently (??) girl sperm perfer an acid environment, had herself and partner stop taking caffeine and ate acid rich food. She also slept with a pink ribbon under her pillow. Not very scientific but it worked!
Hope things go as you would like. Stay healthy.

karma - I have "Choosing the sex of your baby" by Dr Shettles.

We got the girl we wanted! If you CAT me your address I'll send it to you.

Thanks boneym. I think a friend of mine has that book but I'll let you know if not. Glad it worked for you.
Thanks cattyb. Hope it's a good pregnancy, and that you get your ds!

We had quite a discussion on it \link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=1366&threadid=143428\here}

I read somewhere that girl sperm lives longer but boy sperm swims faster

so....if you want a boy, have lots of sex when ovulating
if you want a girl, have sex just b4 ovulating and then abstain

I did this and did get daughter 2nd time round BUT prob just one of those things

In taking charge of your fertility it says if you want a boy have sex on the peak day only as the male sperm swim faster so if the egg is already there they will get there the quickest - would need to know previous cycles to see how long you have ewcf. And if you want a girl then 2 days b4 peak day as the female sperm live longer.

is it right to choose the sex of your baby?

Have unprotected sex only on days with an S in them and when the moon is 1/4 full. This will guarantee a girl around 49% of the time.

With the girls we were actively trying - sex twice a day for 2 weeks! Hey presto, girls.

Expecting a DS in November and we had sex ONCE in 6 weeks!

LMFAO @ Soupy!
