I'm not sure you can choose...sorry couldn't really follow what you were saying. Nothing works for definite.

There is very little you can do to influence whether you have a boy or a girl. It is all down to which sperm fertilises the egg so it is a plain old 50/50 chance.

To be honest if you are going to TTC again you would be better off investing time and effort in preventing gender disappointment and accept that there is a 50% chance you will have another girl.

Hi Drmum81
Why not just be really, really thankful that you have two lovely healthy children, when many people are going through years of heartbreak, invasive procedures and grief and still don't have their baby at the end of it all
A healthy new human is the greatest gift. Don't go looking the gift horse in the genitalz.

I really wouldn't bother, you can't control it no matter what anyone says. Just think yourself lucky you can have children in the first place as there are lots of people who can't. These posts annoy me no end.

If you could control it, you wouldn't get boy/girl twins.

Try a different partner.

Sorry, but I found your post a little difficult to follow. As someone who took 17 years to conceive a healthy baby I can't understand why it is so important to you. Be thankful that you have been able to have two successful pregnancies relatively easily.

Hi, I had 2 girls and religiously followed the methods suggested for having a boy ie only on ov day. Nothing happened so as I wanted another baby whatever gender we carried on with the every other day method and had a boy. You just can't choose methinks. X

People talk a lot about the Shettles method, where you dtd at ovulation for a son. But the evidence seems to be that it doesn't work, and that nothing much does aside from going to the US or somewhere else where it is legal and having a baby at very high cost through a gender sperm sorting/IVF process.

I do understand how you can desire a child of a particular gender, particularly when you've got others of the opposite gender. A lot of people are like that, despite themselves. I'm pregnant with my second son and because I'll likely stop at two, there is definitely part of me that is a little sad I won't ever have a daughter.

But I think those feelings are a bit of a construct, and don't have much basis in the reality of what that child will mean to you. The trouble (in my view) of trying for a particular gender is that you are giving too much space in your head to gender 'mattering' whereas since it is random, it is better to work at thinking more generally about whether you want a third child.

Also, because this is a conception board lots of people have had an awful time having kids at all so be warned this is an inflammatory topic. x

All I know is that my three boys were all almost certainly conceived on the day I ovulated.

You can try swaying, I am going a few things to sway for a girl but would be happy with a third boy. Much of the evidence is based around changing your pH and cm.

Thanxs alot for all the replies.... I am not unthankful at alllllll i truely feel blessed n therez no doubt about it i just thought i 'd ask if sum bdy is thinkin the same..... I do feel for those who are trying for baby n i wish them all the very best of luck :)
