Hi
I'm wondering if anyone TTC for a certain sex, and if so, how successful were you? We have a beautiful little son and would love him to have a sister. I have read about male and female sperm and know to do the BD a few days before OV to TTC a little girl. At the end of the day, I don't really mind if we have another boy just as long as buds is happy and healthy. I'd be interested in hearing other peoples stories.

there is several methods like the Shettles i think it is.. we wanted a boy so made sure we BD'd close to ovulation etc and for us it worked but i still think it's 50/50 and has a lot to do with the man as his sperm create the sex of the baby:) ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |

Hi all
Don't know whether you're interested, but I do know a few people who this is "true" for -- the Chinese birth chart, which "predicts" the sex of your baby based on the month of conception and your age at conception. It says I'm having a boy ... let's see! http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/encyclopedia/Pregnancy/Choosing-Babies-Sex/Chinese-Gender-Chart - http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/encyclopedia/Pregnancy/Choosing-Babies-Sex/Chinese-Gender-Chart |

Hi Nikki. Not sure if you remember me but i come into the October thread sometimes.:) We also have an adorable little boy & would love to have a girl next time. We're going to start ttc early next year. I've read quite a lot about the shettles method, so we're probably going to try that. I just googled it. Sounds interesting. Good luck.;) -------------
