Having Boys, Having Girls - what do you have and...?

Question

For those that have little boys and girls, Im curious to know if you did the deed before you ovulated or during ovulation in order to get pregnant. I've also been studying the chinese chart for having boys and girls and wonder how accurate it is?

Answer 1

Our Dr. told my husband and I to have sex every other day. We did and we got pregnant pretty quickly. We have a son.

Answer 2

It's the same chance as getting a girl as your first child -assuming it's the same spouse =). Anyways, I don't mean to alarm or scare you or anything like that, but if after your 6th boy, you're still trying to get a girl, there is some research in genetics that I've read that may make a male unable to produce female offspring. Something to do with a faulty chromosome. But I'm sure it's just luck of the draw! My mom had 4 boys! She's still hoping for a girl even though there will be a significant age gap between us siblings. Best of luck though! I'll keep your dreams and wishes at the back of mind and hope they come true.

Answer 3

I don't know about the Chinese Chart or even what it says.

I just know my body and my ovulation schedule.

Our babies were planned. But didn't really plan the gender part (I felt only God could do that!)

But when I had sex on my ovulation day, we had a boy.
Both times I had sex a few days prior to my ovulation and we had girls. Was it science? Who knows, but we were happy!

Answer 4

I don't believe in that stuff! Your going to have what you are intended to have. I have a 2 year old girl and a 7 week old boy. And I am happy. I wanted my 2nd to be a girl because I had everything and it would've been the same seasons and I all ready knew the basics to expect. But I am so glad I had a boy. I love both of my kids more than life it's self. It's a joy to have a kid period!!! There are millions who can't have there own so those of us who can shouldn't read in to it to much on wether we want a boy or a girl.

Answer 5

i think its like playing roulette, you either land on black or red there is no real strategy just plain luck, same with trying to conceive a certain gender, no chart is ever accurate every day of the year both boys and girls are born so it might be right for you and wrong for thousands of others, i have two boys and a girl, i must say though the more you want a certain gender the less likely you are to get it, i wanted a girl for my second child and i got another boy, i think its natures way of telling you that you cant control it, for my third i honestly didn't care anymore, i think my little girl was natures way of telling me thanks for not telling me what to do, if that makes sense.

Answer 6

I'm not sure how helpful this will be to your chart but i have 2 girls i conceived in feb 2000 and 2001 they were both supposed to be born in november of those years. Neither of my girls were planned so I can't help with the rest of your question

Answer 7

Hi,
i had sex the week leading up to ovulation, not after or on the day.....and i am having a boy, thats what we were trying for.

Answer 8

I had sex a few hours before ovulation, and I ended up with a boy.
They say that if you have sex 12 hours before ovulation to 24 hours after, you'll end up with a boy.
My pregnancy wasn't planned, but I have a baby boy whom I love now. :-)

Answer 9

the chinese chart was right with everyone i know that looked at it with me... i dont know if i believe it is 100% accurate but, it hit it on the nose with mine and all my friends.

Answer 10

I'm not convinced that anyone who's determined to have one sex over another deserves a child at all. Hopefully, you're just curious.
