Gender Selection

Has anyone tried for a boy or girl? And Succeeded.

Re: Gender Selection

I haven't yet, but I think that if you want a girl you need to eat all pink foods before and during pregnancy and for a boy, you should eat all blue foods.

I am trying that one out with my next baby!!

Re: Gender Selection

Tell me if it works...

Re: Gender Selection

I know my neighbor who has FIVE (5) boys, followed every silly idea possible to have a girl on her final try....and she did get what she wished for!

Re: Gender Selection

I have not but they say there are ways

i.e. and don't quote me I may be mixed up on the genders and the metod

But have sex in the days before ovulation for a boy and on the day of for a girl because of the life of the "girl" and "boy" sperm

I think it would be difficult unless you are so regular and can identify exact day of ovulation.

Re: Gender Selection

I am one of 5. 4 boys and me. I am the youngest. I think god felt bad for my mom and just gave her the girl

Re: Gender Selection

We 'tried' for a boy...I'll let you know in July how it turns out.

Re: Gender Selection

I see your point.

Re: Gender Selection

I heard salty food and diet drinks leads to a boy. I salt everything and DH only drinks diet sodas. I guess it could be true since we are having a boy.


Honestly, I did not try any method other than trying to get pregnant.

Re: Gender Selection

Told you not to quote me. I knew I would have it backward!

I can only imagine what happens if you eat green or yellow foods!

Why?

do some research online, it has far reaching social repercussions and it crosses the line into genetically engineering our children. If people in China could do this, there would be few to no girls born there. There are a ton of issues attached to something like this. Also, I feel like you get what you get and be happy you have a baby.

I do not think there is anything wrong with trying different "natural" ways to conceive either a boy or a girl. Different positions, and timing BDing and things like that. Where is the harm? Personally, I do not think that these methods work, maybe sometimes they do, but how do you know it was because of the timing of BD and not just what was *meant* to happen?

I see no harm.

However, I think that trying scientifically to have either a boy or a girl is just plain wrong. THAT crosses the line into genetically engineering children (meaning taking sperm and fertilizing an egg with either X or Y chromosomes KNOWINGLY), that takes Frankenstein to a whole new level.

But as I said, trying "fun" ways to "try for" one or the other, where is the harm in that?

Personally, we were just trying for all around great sex The baby is an added bonus!
