For those Who will be having girls...
SO I read that when you BD 3 or 4 days before O , it is possible that you can conceive a girl??
What do you think??

Re: For those Who will be having girls...
It is possible...because sperm can live inside you (in the right environment) for up to 5 days.
Girl sperm are slower. So they will be near the egg by the time you O, than if you BD right before O'ing bc the boy sperm would get there faster.

I knew all of this, but question -
If you BD'd every day leading up to O, does that mean the faster boy sperm would've overtaken the girl sperm that were already there?
I'm guessing if you really want to have a girl, you'd have to BD three days before and then abstain until after you O

Technically, yes. But then your risk of no baby goes up-what if the girl sperm never fertilizes?  That is the catch.

Re: For those Who will be having girls...
All I know is that with both PG's we BD'd the 4 days leading up to O and then on ovulation day and I have 2 boys! 
When we can have another I want to try for a girl since it seems the boy sperm are marathon runners! 
It will be hard though to not BD close to O since I know the chances of conceiving lessen.

Re: For those Who will be having girls...
Both times I got pregnant it was BDing well before O day (both surprises, I didn't think I was cutting it close either time  but we weren't trying very hard not to either ) and last time it was a girl and we'll see what it is this time.
I think it's all a abunch of hub bub and you should just try try try.
