As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details.

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Any ways of influencing which sex you will conceive?
Hi all.
My Husband and I, are about to start trying for our 2nd child together, we already have a 4 year old son and I think like most people we would like our 2nd to be a girl as it would be nice to have one of each sex. Although if we have a boy again I will still be very excited but I have been looking on the net if there's any way you can try and influence the sex of your baby, has anyone got any ideas or had any success in trying and testing these ways of influencing the sex?
Thanks
Laura

I'm Currently Feeling:  | they say if u BD nearer when you OV then you have a chance of a girl, as girl sperm last longer than boy sperm, and if you want a boy BD on your OV as they are faster.
It does take 100 sperm to break the egg though. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I read somewhere you should diet for a girl and fatten up for a boy but to be honest I believe you end up with what you're blessed with and nothing can determine the sex.
All the same have fun trying ! | | | | Status: Offline

To be honest though, I will be happy having either sex, we'll just have fun trying  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I too have been googgling for info on this, although I firmly beleive that you are blessed with whatever is available at the time
I did find this though, apparently it has scarily accurate results..... you go by your age, and month you want to conceive in... Chinese Birth Chart |
