First a little scientific discussion. Male sperm are more motile, (move better, faster), but female sperm are longer lived. You have a window of about 5 days before o-day which are "best" for making love in order to conceive. If you want to favor a girl, start making love 5 days before o-day, and don't make love later than 3 days before o-day. On the other hand, I you want to conceive a boy, make love only one day before o-day, and continue until you actually ovulate. It's not certain, but it does increase your oods. I have also heard it said that your DH should wear briefs for a girl and boxers for a boy. Has to do with the temperature. Now for the old wives tales. If you want a boy, make love with the man on top. If you want a girl, make love with the woman on top. I have 4 kids, two boys, and two girls, and I am 4 for 4 in this category, so it must work! :-) Larry |

Do a search for the Shettles method - there is actually a book on it too,
but you can find most of what you want on the internet. We did the timing part (for a boy tho) and it's supposed to be 80% accurate.. (we had a boy) I think a girl is a little lower, but go ahead and try! I know many others who have tried and it worked for them! "Mamma Mia" wrote in message u...

Hahah
The strange thing with all this food talk - I had a dream when I was carrying the wee fella that I was wandering around a supermarket with my Mom and she was telling not to eat tomatoes or I'd have a girl - strange I avoided them for some reason and had a boy.. )) Not that I'd have minded -as I used to joke while pg - if it's a girl I'll not put her up for adoption or anything.. ;o)) Kate |

Now for the old wives tales. If you want a boy, make love with the man on top. If you want a girl, make love with the woman on top. I have 4 kids, two boys, and two girls, and I am 4 for 4 in this category, so it must work! :-) Larry This ties in with that joke.... start joke Three women are chatting with their instructor after lamaze class. "I really want to know the gender of my baby!" lamented one. The others agreed. The instructor smiled. "It's easy. How did you concieve?" The first woman blushes and says "I was on top." "Then you'll have a girl" the instructor replies with a smile. The second woman also blushes, as does her husband. "He was on top." "Then you're going to have a boy." The instructor smiles at them as well. As she turns to the third woman, the mom to be breaks into tears and starts sobbing uncontrollably. After they calm her down her husband asks her what's wrong. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (You won't belive this answer) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "We're going to have puppies!!!!" |

People there know all kinds of tricks for having one gender or the other specifically. People saying timing sex around ovulation makes a difference. As far as I know we've done it the same way each time and we have a girl, 2 boys, and a gender unknown. Good luck Sophie #4 due July 7, 2004 that kind of reminds me of an old silly joke - "we have three children, one of each". -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02 "Anything lost can be found again, except for time wasted" -- Hilltop Hoods |

"Kelly" wrote in message ... You're more likely to conceive a girl if. . You have sex earlier on in your cycle, a few days before your day of ovulation. This is because female sperm are thought to be stronger and therefore last longer than male sperm, who will die off before reaching the egg . your partner reaches orgasm before you . you have sex frequently to lower your partner's sperm count, and so increase the chances of the female sperm reaching the egg first . you keep penetration shallow . you stop having unprotected sex four to five days before ovulation, to minimise the chances of the male sperm reaching the egg first . your partner keeps his genitals warm by wearing close-fitting underwear and tight trousers (although this isn't likely to do his general fertility any good!) . you suggested the love-making . you make love in the afternoon . you make love on even days of the month . you put a wooden spoon under your bed and a pink ribbon under your pillow . you drink plenty of milk and eat dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt, unsalted foods, rice, pasta, certain vegetables, mineral water, limited amounts of meat and potatoes, but avoid salt and any salty foods, wine and beer, fresh fruit, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms, chocolate, coffee and tea.

Yeah, I've read that men in certain professions tend to have girls more often than boys, due to the clothing they wear, or the conditions in which they work: Military pilots (the flight suits they wear tend to keep things warmer) Scuba Divers who wear wet suits frequently (same reason) Truckers (sitting for hours on end tends to keep things warmer, as well) Cathy Weeks Mommy to Kivi Alexis 12/01 |
