Open to all elderberry grads and anyone who fits the berry criteria: over 30, first trimester(ish) with #1 after trying for a long time, and nervous as hell. Come on in for handholding and nub theory!

My oh's family- apart from one cousin they haven't had a girl for more than 80 years. My brother has two boys.

I was convinced I was probably having a boy due to reading some out-of-date information on the differences between X and Y sperm - I thought that if Y were faster and quicker, and X were slower but hardier, seeing as we did it twice on the suspected day of conception, it would probably be a Y sperm that did it. But apparently this is all bollocks in any case so who knows! Again, a very scientific source for the debunking of this theory genderdreaming.com/forum/swaying-studies-scientific-research/1562-what-real-differences-between-x-sperm-y-sperm.html

Thundercatsarego · 01/10/2013 15:52

And brod? What are you having? (Sorry, I can't remember anything!)

Brodicea · 01/10/2013 16:30

Oo, I don't know yet - I'm a way off that, still only 9+3 so I guess we can watch this space come mid/end of December (sooo long)

MotherOfCleo · 01/10/2013 16:40

brod thats the reason I thought mine was pink Smile I was wrong.
Supposidly what you eat can affect the ph of your CM too which can then become inhospitable to either male or female sperm. So many swings an roundabouts! I know conceive plus is better for male sperm. Its all so odd isnt it.

Thundercatsarego · 01/10/2013 16:56

Of course, sorry brod! I totally muddled you up with another mnetter called bodicea who is much further on than us lot. Doh!

Brodicea · 01/10/2013 17:30

I saw her on something else and I was like 'that's MY name (nearly)'! Would change it but I'm stubborn Smile

Aye, right you are mother - it's all down to chance really! Although we were using 'Yes, baby' lube so perhaps I'll have a google...
