Off the wall question but I have to ask. Getting PG with a girl?

Is there a specific way to get pregnant to have a girl? I have a baby boy right now almost a yr and he is my world. DH and I decided only 2 kids, it would be awesome to have one of each. I am completely blessed with whatever we get, boy, But I was just wondering is there a way to have a girl or no?

Re: Off the wall question but I have to ask. Getting PG with a girl?

Supposedly to have a girl you need to BD prior to ovulation. The rational behind that is that the sperm that contains the female chromosomes are slower, but last longer in the uterus. The boys spermies swim faster and live less time in the uterus. So if you BD before ovulation and the girl spermies are hanging out waiting for the egg and the boy spermies die, you get a girl.

With that being said, it is VERY difficult to do.

Re: Off the wall question but I have to ask. Getting PG with a girl?

I've read a few different things for trying for a specific sex:

- BD BEFORE you O for a girl
- BD day of O for a boy
*Because as mentioned above, girl sperm is said to move slower but live longer, so if you BD before you O, the girl sperm will be there waiting for the egg*

- BD missionary position for a girl
- BD deeper penetration (DS for example) for a boy
*Because the deeper the penetration, the closer the sperm is deposited to the cervix and boy sperm travels faster so it would get to the egg first*

- BD withOUT the woman reaching or*gasm for a girl
- BD WITH the woman reaching or*gasm for a boy
*Because when a woman reaches the big O, she becomes more alkaline which is more friendly to boy sperm*

- Have the man drink a glass of strong coffee right before BD for a boy
*Because the caffeine will give the sperm a jolt and boy sperm will be even faster* (This one doesn't really make sense since wouldn't the girl sperm ALSO be faster, but since they're slower to begin with, I guess that's the logic?)

Of course, if these things were as easy as they sound, people would be choosing the sex of their babies all the time. I'd say these methods have a good 50-50 chance

Good luck!!!

See, that's exactly my point - if those "rules" were accurate, then everyone would be choosing the sex of their kids! I say you get what you are meant to have! If someone wants to try for one or the other, I'm sure it doesn't hurt to try some of these things, but they have to know that there's in no way any guarantee!
