we were going to try for a girl this time, but i ended up getting drunk and had sex with my own husband on the day of ovulation. is there any chance it could still be a girl?

Yes, DD was conceived on day of ovulation

Another YES for DD on day of ovulation.

No DS.
I am sure they will be wonderful whatever they are!

TheRedQueen · 08/11/2009 21:04

Yes.

Lulumama · 08/11/2009 21:05

I have a DS and a DD both conceived aroudn day 13/14 of a 28 day cycle

Yes, I conceived dd right at ovulation. If it will put your mind at rest, let me tell you that I worked for years in donor insemination clinics, and it is a total myth that the timing of insemination affects gender! We would always inseminate on day of ovulation (or as close as possible) and had 50/50 boys and girls.

givecarrotsachance · 08/11/2009 22:46

hester what was the method of insemination? This may affect that result given the reasons for why there may be more girls from sex earlier.

hester · 09/11/2009 22:00

The method was straightforward vaginal donor insemination, carrots. At the clinic, the sperm would be frozen, which I guess you could argue may have an impact. I used fresh sperm, though, which I guess is pretty comparable to having sex with your own husband.

All 3 DSs were conceived before ovulation, LOL !
