HELP I want a girl !!!

[sliverx2]

Has Anyone got any ideas on how to accomplish this, as we have 2 ds but myself and dh want to finish our family but are deperate for a little princess, come on guys any of those funny ideas i.e what to eat ect.

Chinchilla's site got it right on all three of my pregnancies. All boys.

i know i'm asking alot girls but please could you check both site suggested, tell me which 1 got it right for you. just like to thank you all again for your help.... thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

sliverx, Chinchilla's site was right for me. But hey, it's a 50% chance!

Personally I would not rely on either of them! However, as you are asking, the link that I provided was right for me, and the other one got it wrong.

i know i'm asking alot girls but please could you check both site suggested, tell me which 1 got it right for you. just like to thank you all again for your help.... thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry sliverx2,

Done them both again, they both predicted a girl and I have a baby girl.

Not much help to you....

Just thought.

Choose to have sex, when both calendars have indications or girls...presto.

Yep, both charts got it right for my 2 boys and both have predicted a girl this time.

I find it abit odd that there are two ancient chinese baby predicter calenders.....maybe I'm just a cynic, but I still find it amazing all the same.

Hi. There's a book by Hazel Chesterman-Phillips called 'Choose the Sex of Your Baby'. It basically explains the same theories explained by sb34 - knowing when your going to ovulate and then timing things accordingly. For a girl she says to identify the day of ovulation (this may take a couple of months!) then have frequent sex from the time your period finishes until three days before ovulation, then STOP! She also suggests getting your partner to where tight pants. The book goes into a lot of other stuff about reasons why people want to do this and lots of letters from "satisfied customers" but that's the gist of it.

by the way - chinese gender prediction didn't work for me! But I've read the book above and where hoping for a boy this time. :-)

sliver, your chart got my 4 right - chinchilla's chart refuses to appear for me but I assume it's the one that got them wrong. (Unless there is yet another 700-yr-old Chinese chart lurking out there!)

Have to remember it is just for fun though...your chart shows that between ages 30 and 33 there are only 13 months which produce boys, and at age 30 Feb-Oct is solid girls, so because it got it right for me I told one couple their baby, conceived mid-summer at age 30, would definitely be a girl and they believed it! We were all quite shocked when Oliver appeared...

The second one said I should have had girls both times as well, when I had a girl then a boy.

Just goes to show that you can't rely on either! IMO it would be really sad if you used it and were disappointed to get a boy. If you are going to try for a baby, then you have to be prepared to be happy with the results either way.

You may well be happy with either but want to tip the scales in favour of what you want - there's nothing wrong with that. However, I wouldn't put my faith in the chinese horoscope thingy, I prefer science!!

Good point, Chinchilla.

Mind you even when you get the sex you want, they won't necessarily fit the image you had of them - the sex is almost the least important thing. I had amnio for no 4 and although we knew we were getting a boy we couldn't pick a name until he turned up - had to get to know him a bit first!

Did chincilla's one and it got it right, just as the other one did - a girl. But how come they are different as they both claim to be the same thing? Did the people inputting the data onto these websites (presumably using a 700 year old manuscript as reference) make a few mistakes? Or are the two charts radically different? Who can be bothered to check????

both of mine were incorrect. mumbo jumbo. I wanted girls both times and have one dd, one on the way...but felt guilty at not wanting a boy both times. this time I defnitely thought I was having a boy, I sort of geared myself up for 'disappointment' but know deep down i just want a healthy baby.

SoupDragon, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with wanting to influence the sex of your baby per se. HOWEVER, it would be really sad if the resulting baby was not enjoyed as much because of its sex. I know from experience that a child whose mother did not bond with it, and does not love it as much as the other children can sense that there is a difference. This happened to me, and it affected my life (because of the lack of bond with my mum), and my sister's (because of the guilt of being the 'loved' one).

Sliverx2 seems to be really keen to have a girl, and definitely not a boy. I am merely trying to point out that things like this are not proven, and cannot be relied on. IMO it is important to be prepared to have a boy as well as a girl. I am also guilty, as I desperately wanted a boy, because of my past relationship with my mum. I was worried that if I had a girl I would not bond with her. I still feel the same way, and would prefer to have another boy next time, for that reason. What if I put my trust in this chart thingy, and got a girl? If I had waited until a different month, would I have got a boy? Personally I will take what I am given and be grateful for it. I know from experience with ds that I can be a loving mother, who is besotted with her child, so I will trust in the love hormones

Sliverx2 (and Soupy of course!) I am not getting at you. I am just very wary of things like this. Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that you could find out at 5 weeks pg that you were having a boy...would you abort it, and try again for a girl? I would feel sad for you if that were the case There is nothing wrong with wanting a girl, but don't get your hopes up with these charts...they are complete bllcks!

I come from a big family, 9 brothers and dont want a family of that size myself. This was only a thing to see how we could (if we could) up our chances OF HAVING A DD. we have 2 boys and love them more than life it's self, with ds #1 we wanted a boy, ds #2 was unplaned but not unwanted and we did'nt care if we had a boy or a girl, we just wanted a healthly baby, which we have. It's only recentley that we both agreed that we only want 3 children, when ds #2 is 3y we want to try for one last baby, and yes we would like our last baby to be a girl but much more importantly heathly!!! we would never abort a baby for being a boy or for any other reason!!! what ever sex our last baby turns out to be, will still be to us our baby and would still be very much loved and enjoyed like his/her brothers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair enough!

It was right for DS1 but wrong for DS2. But he was a twin, so you never know.

Every time I try to check one of those Chinese Horoscope thingies (countless calculators on the web) they are 70-100% wrong for the population consisting of me, DH, our kids, other relatives.... It's comical; surely random chance should do better!

Ok, chinchella's calender isn't so bad. Spot on for me and my kids, in fact. Apparently DH, his brother and my dad are all girls, though --- Hmmmmm.

Tried the new link- first 2 right, younger 2 wrong. The 39 & 40 age lines seem to be exactly the opposite to the other chart!
(Anyone else get really frustrated with these endless pop-up adverts that won't go away?)

We used the Hazel Chesterman-Phillips book to get your boy and are now using it again to get a girl. It does take some planning so if you got it now and watched your cycle till ds was 3y you'd have quite a bank of info on which to work! There are quite a few other threads about this on mumsnet if you are interested.
