trying to have a boy

ok you all may think i am crazy but, i have all girls right now and as much as my husband and i LOVE our girls we kind of wouild like to have a boy.
well my mother went to have her cards read and the reader told my mother that the only way i was going to get a boy was to use the old jewish wives tale of douching with vinegar. has any one heard of this??? and where could i get more info on it??? i know it sounds silly but.... anything is worth a shot. we know we want one more child, and it couldnt hurt to increse our odds of getting a boy.

I believe the boys sperm swim faster and the girls live longer. You probably should BD on the day you ovulate rather than a few days before.

Baby dust.

There is a whole chapter on this in the book Taking charge of your Fertility. It has to do with the time in your cycle that you conceive.

This is what I read too. Douching is not a good thing to do since it throws off the balance in your body, it could actually work against you.

Friends of mine swear they conceived their boy by doing it upside down and backwardsChat Icon

Re: trying to have a boy

I honestly don't believe in those methods or superstitions. I believe that everything happens for a reason and you can try as hard as you want-but will end up with what you get. My DH's cousin tried the methods both times to conceive a boy and guess what? They were blessed with two healthy girls.

I don't think you're crazy OR selfish or anything like that..believe me!! I just think that, from my personal point of view, its best to leave those things to fate you know? Please don't follow old wives tales...douching can spread bacteria far up you causing more bad than good...good luck in whatever you do!

Re: trying to have a boy

You need to alkalize your CM as much as possible. Basically stay away from alcohol, caffeine, dairy, and animal fats...during ovulation time. Eat tons of veggies and fruits.

Boy sperm need to be in sperm friendly cm...and they will thrive when it's alkalized and not acidic.

Also bding as close to O can help.

But it really is beyond our control.

I would not use the douche....It can lead to infections....I would just read up and try your best naturally to do what you can. Good luck!

Re: trying to have a boy

this might seem silly....but a family member told us that when you are TTC...or should we say baby dancing, you should put an article of your DH clothing under the bed. and you are sure to have a boy! he said it worked for him Chat Icon
