I'm not really sure you can do anything to get what you want. My cousin did everything she could to have a girl after 2 boys and ended up having twin boys

From what I've read about Shettles method (we'll be going by it to try and get a girl next time) its all about timing. BD from the end of AF to a few days before ov (prob best to take temps to know) for a girl, and BD on or after ov time to get a boy. Basically boy sperm is faster but dies quicker, girl sperm is slower but lasts longer. So if you want a girl, BD before ov as the sperm has to travel further and wait for the egg so there's less chance of boy spermies still being around (lol typical men are so impatient )]]> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 22:08:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=337927&title=boy-or-girl#337927 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=336075&title=boy-or-girl#336075 Author: NeoshasMummy

WELCOME! Yeah I agree with the other girls and have heard heaps about timing umm the older the egg sis a girl and the fresher the egg is the boy, or was it the other way around oh I dont know lol. I think it builds u up to expect it when theres a chance it may not work With me I told myself right in the beggining its a girl I bought all pink and told everybody I AM HAVING A GIRL hey presto it came out a girl lol in a family full of boys! Although I did get worried when she came out because DH said "its a boy!" The midwife said no dear, thats and umbilical cord! SOme humour for the day lol]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2008 10:18:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=336075&title=boy-or-girl#336075 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=335248&title=boy-or-girl#335248 Author: katie1

I also heard potassium and calcium for a girl and magnesiam and something else for a boy????
All sounded a bit tricky!
Interesting theory though. ]]> Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:12:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=335248&title=boy-or-girl#335248 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=335175&title=boy-or-girl#335175 Author: Maya

There was a thread on the Shettles method in the First Baby board a while back, if you search you should be able to find it.
I think for it to work you have to strictly follow the diet, clothing, timing instructions to the letter.]]> Wed, 26 Mar 2008 10:33:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=335175&title=boy-or-girl#335175 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=334748&title=boy-or-girl#334748 Author: JadeC

The Shettles method is a lot about timing, I think.

I did hear that increasing calcium and magnesium can help get a girl, but that was more word of mouth, and may be an old wives tale.]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 19:06:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=334748&title=boy-or-girl#334748 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=334745&title=boy-or-girl#334745 Author: baalamb

Hi all the best with your TTC journey. If you do a search on here or on Google on 'Shettles' method, you'll find a thread about trying for a specific gender.]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 19:00:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=334745&title=boy-or-girl#334745 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=334646&title=boy-or-girl#334646 Author: Danaj

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here and we have just started trying to get pregnant. Married 2 weeks and 29 years old.

Just wondering if anyone has heard the stories about how you can change your diet and effect the sex of the child pre-conception. Sounds like a myth but my grandmother swears on it.

Anyone had experience with this?

Thanks,

dana ]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:44:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15644&PID=334646&title=boy-or-girl#334646
