TTC Girl... Any tips?
My husband and I are TTC #2. We already have a little boy and I would love a girl. I've heard the female sperm lasts longer but swim slower so I should be bedding 24-36hrs before I ovulate right? I'm using the CBE Fertitlty monitor and I'm not sure if I should bed on high days as well as low days. Any suggestions or tricks would be very helpful. Thanks :)

Re: TTC Girl... Any tips?
I'm no help, but I'm interested in the answer.
We have a little girl and would love to have a boy. Does that mean we should  on the day I ovulate? Is this a theory or a fact?

What I have been told is that if you have sex in the am, when you first wake up, you have a better chance of having a boy. But I honestly have no clue if there is any weight to that. I think people have their own theories and none of them probably matter anyway lol

Re: TTC Girl... Any tips?
You could try BD'ing a couple of days before O and then not on or after your O date. But this probably will also decrease your overall likelihood of getting PG, and of course, no guarantees.
Good luck!

Not to be too graphic but when I conceived my DS my DH and I bed after I ovulated and did it doggy style. It so wasn't planned it was just lucky- he came home from a work party feeling good ... If you know what I mean

This made me laugh out loud because it is such a familiar scenario!

Re: TTC Girl... Any tips?
Everything that I have read has always stated to bd a 2 or 3 days before O for a girl. The girl sperm swim slower but live longer. I have read also that if your system is more acidic that will help you have a girl. In the end I don't know how much any of this affects your chances, but hey give it a shot!

Re: TTC Girl... Any tips?
See its stories like this ( the ones that break all the rules)that make me think all the info I've researched and am going to try is a bunch of BS and you get what you get. Well, in the end I can say ," I tried". As long as its healthy .

Re: TTC Girl... Any tips?
I think some of these techniques may change your odds from 50/50 to 51/49 or something like that. Unless you use PGD or something like that, you can't really control it although I guess it doesn't hurt to sway the odds in your favor.
I've heard that swaying for a girl decreases your chances of conceiving because everything that makes it easier to conceive sways boy.
Good luck to you! Keep us posted as to whether you get the girl

Re: TTC Girl... Any tips?
Crashing.
I'm 23w pregnant with my first and my co-workers brought up this theory before I found out the gender.
For us, DH and I 1x the night before I O'd. He then went away for several days on a business trip so I know that was the night. So the theory that boy sperm swim faster was true for us.
HOWEVER, every single male on DH's side of the family have always been the first born. And every single female from the males side of his family have been the second.
The chinese predictor and all those other predictors were wrong.
Personally, I don't believe in any of this lol. As with everything, I think it's just a matter of chance.

Re: TTC Girl... Any tips?
Thanks:). Ive decided to adjust my diet and take supplements . It's old wives tales but it's all worth a shot.
I'm using the CBE Fertility Monitor and decided I would bed on my high days and if I don't get a BFP I will bump up my days by one next time .
Thanks for all the help and comments .

Re: TTC Girl... Any tips?
Too much info??? NO WAY. This is how we learn!! And I'm sooo glad u said u conceived your DD doggy style bc I feel like that's the only way DH swimmers make it to
My eggs. We tried for 8 mos when we got my DS doggy style. I was afraid to do it like that bc they say female sperm live best in the acidic opening of the vagina. Thanks for your response. Did you DTD prior to ovulation with your DD? And how long before?
