theres a book 'choose the sex of your baby the natural way' which claims to be around 98% effective, ive read it and it does make sense,its proven that male sperm swims faster than female and female sperm lives longer (it can live up to 6 days) the theory is quite simple, have sex around ovulation and male sperm gets there first, have sex days before ovulation and only the female sperm left, also men with lower than average sperm counts tend to produce girls

I did a couple of on-line gender tests and they both said I was to have a girl, but the ultrasound says I'm having a boy. It's fun doing all those little games but it kind of got my hopes up for a little girl (in a way). I'm glad I'm having a little boy though, I have heard they are easier and besides, I'm a tom boy myself so I have no problem getting dirty when he wants to play.

Oh I can't wait to know the sex. I'll have to wait until week 20.

I've told absolutely everyone (they've asked!) that I want a girl really badly. I keep thinking of the baby as a girl. Will really have to adjust my thoughts if it turns out to be a boy, hehe.

The Chinese test says it will be a boy...so did another online test. I just choose not to believe them!

But, I have some traditions I need to carry on: My maternal great-grandmother had a girl the year she was 30, my grandmother had one when she was 30 (my mum), and so did my mum (me!). So as I'll be 30 this year, the pressure's on me to keep the tradition going!

The Chinese predictor says boy for me and the other one that gives percentage gives 54% boy! I think it's a boy, but I will hopefully get to find out at 3pm today!!!

I'll let you know if all the indicators are right!
