Ttc Pink!!!!


Ok so husband and I are already talking about our second baby and would like them about 1 year to 1 1/2 years apart! As you know.. I have a healthy baby boy already and ideally I'd love to have a girl next so I can be done!!! Are there any real and true methods that you think really work on trying to conceive a girl bump????

hi hun

i've heard two opinions
first, when you eat healty breakfast consisting of full grain, wholemeal stuff before ttc and along it you are more likely to have a baby boy (hence so many baby girls nowadays - all mums on diet
second, BDing two days before and two days after O..
how much of it is true - have no idea, but doesn't hurt to try.

best of luck

Copied and pasted from another post I made.

"Apparently 'girl' (XX) sperms live longer so if you BD lots before you ovulate, they're all ready and waiting for the egg and there are less of the 'boy' (XY) sperms which don't live as long. Boy sperms are also apparently faster so if you only BD at the time of ovulation you're more likely to have a boy. It's be interesting to see how many of us who were BD lots before ovulation had girls! I swing between wanting a son and then a daughter, but in reality, I'd be thrilled to bits with either. I think I'd be too nervous to try only BD at the time of ovulation in case I missed it and anyway, I'm quite liking the idea of a daughter at the mo' so I can dress her up in pink sparkly fairy stuff and bake cakes etc with her!"

XX sperms are heavier and slower and XY sperms are lighter and faster and so in with more of a chance to get to the egg if you only BD at the time of ovulation.

Dr Shettles has a theory (found it on Google). I think it's something to do with strong and when they reach the egg. Don't quote me...but I think it's the day before or early O for a boy, so sperm meets egg, and late in O and day after for a girl, so egg meets sperm.

Please please have a look into this yourself, cos I'd hate to be even slightly inaccurate and you end up missing a month waiting till the last minute for your girly bean!!


Best of luck
