I have 2 girls and would love a little boy to complete our family. DH has wanted to have another for a long time (boy or girl) but if I have another girl I think I will probably want to try again for a boy.

don't have sex until the day that you ovulate, and you go on top.

Eat slugs, snails and puppydog tails.

I concieved my 3 boys between days 12-16 of my cycle...or basically when I was ovulating.

this was in this months issue of pratical parenting. They suggest:

  • Try sex doggy styled, deeper penetration pushes the Y sperm towards your cervix
  • Get your man to drin a caffeinated drink prior to having sex
  • Make sure he orgams first
  • Have sex at a quarter moon
  • Mark your calendar - more boy babies are conceived on odd days of the month
  • Make sure your partner wears tight underwear

DO NOT:

  • Eat fish and veg, and you should not eat a lot of chocolate
  • Wear boxers too loose
  • keep legs elevated for 10 mins after sex
  • try the missionary position
  • orgasm before him
  • initiate sex
  • have sex on even days of the month

or so they say!!

Um... I thought the Tight Pants theory was for girls!!

PeachyClair · 27/03/2006 19:51

yep tight pants deffo for girls- reduces sperm count

Try and bd on last day of ewcm - which you would only know by previous cycles, as the boys swim the fastest apparently.

Senoracod · 27/03/2006 19:53

you ahev to be a naturally superioro person

THREE times in my case

LadyTophamHatt · 27/03/2006 19:53

Elf....what a crock of shit!
quarter moon...odd days....not missionary.
And I'm sorry but who can time when there are going to reach the big O.
"on dear...you go first....no I you go first...."

Practical parenting should get there fact right i think.

SomethingAboutMary · 27/03/2006 19:54

Hmmm not sure, We had lots of sex when trying for first baby & that was a boy, then we only had sex twice in a month when trying for 2nd baby & had dd!

Senoracod · 27/03/2006 19:56

and get jealous if you try and talk to their mum for more htan 2 seconds.

LadyTophamHatt · 27/03/2006 19:57

I would love a little girl but if Dh ever agreed to No4 (which he wont) I be just simply TTC.

if it turned out to be agirl then excellent, if it was another boy than equally a bonus because I' wouldn't have to to buy anything for itGrin

SomethingAboutMary · 27/03/2006 19:58

Ds does not let me talk to anyone.......

LadyTophamHatt · 27/03/2006 19:59

actually, just remember we chucked everything babywise when we moved so I would have to buy stuff.
