Choosing the Sex of Your Baby...

I was wondering if anyone had read this
book choosing the sex of your baby. Also
if anyone here had tried the methods
described and succesfully concieved a
boy.
I'm not looking to start a debate on the
ethics of choosing the sex of a baby. I
have three beautiful little girls and am
thinking I would like to have a boy.
Still if I tried for a boy and had a girl
I would still love her to pieces, so
please no lectures.
Just wondered if anyone had tried this or
other methods for concieving a boy. I
know plenty of methods work for a girl but
are less succesful for boys. So any info
would be great.
Thanks and baby dust to all who need it.

My ob/gyn told me that, since the male
sperm is weaker than the female, the
vagina needs to be less acidic for them to
better survive the trip to the egg. When
my baby girl was conceived, I had a
bladder infection which, in turn, made the
vagina more acidic. Tmi, I know, i'm
sorry. Anyway, making vaginal conditions
as healthy as possible will help, but it
won't guarantee a boy.

Actually, melissa, I have read that
drinking a lot of orange juice, eating a
lot of tomatoes, etc., contributes to a
highly acidic vaginal state. :oops:

The chines lunar calendar uses the month
you conceive and your age and has been
pretty accurate for most of us on another
forum. :-)

Also, if you know roughly when you are
ovulating and you are aiming for a girl,
try to avoid sex that day. The x
chromosome survive longer than the y, so
if you have sex the day or two before
ovulation, better chance of conceiving a
girl!
They say to avoid coffee, if you want a
girl, sleep on the right side of the bed,
missionary(i think).. Umm, can't think of
any more..

Life holds no guarantees, that is for sure
about all you can hope for is that they
are healthy and happy and that you can
feed and clothe them and send them to a
safe school. My dr was pretty fortunate
though, he had two boys and wanted a girl
and ended up with twin girls, I thought
that was great!
The best to all!

I have a brother who is 4 years older than
me. When my mom was pregnant with me, she
was told by two different doctors that she
was having a boy. My dad, really wanting
a girl, was adamant that the doctors were
wrong and insisted I would be a girl.
And, well, obviously, I was. Lol

My mum had 2 boys and really wanted a
girl, then her doctor told her to have sex
a few days or a couple of days before
ovulation and she did and I turned out to
be a girl!!!! Female sperm last longer
apparently!
