Are there any ways to conceive a baby girl? I mean, someone needs to explain this to me cuz im lost. I dont have any kids (mid 20s) I want to have a girl first but I would like to try this out if anyone knows what the deal is with this. I mean, only because my man has two boys and i want to give him a girl. Whatever it is I want a healthy baby :)

Read "How to choose the sex of your baby" by Landrum B. Shettles M.D., and David M. Rorvik.

This is funny because im working on the same thing! Ive been reading alot about it and this is how it "works".
They say that spem can live up to 3 days in a fertilized place, so...to achieve a girl you need to have sex at least 2 days before you ovulate. Guys carry the sex so they have x and y. I forgot which is the guy and which is the girl but lets just say that y is the girl. Y is stonger than x but slower and x is faster but weaker so if you have sex 2 to three days before you ovulate than by the time you ovulate and release the egg than all that would be alive and swimming is Y so you have more of a chance of having a girl so if you have sex on your ovulation day or the day before than you have more chances of the x fertilizing the egg. The hard thing is finding out when you ovulate because if your irregular with your period than it wont be that easy unless you buy an ovulation kit. I hope that made sense. You can also check out webmd.com. They have lots of info and being that we are in the same boat you can always email me and we can help each other, lol. Take care and goodluck!

X (girl) sperm are slower swimmers and live longer than Y (boy) sperm that are fast with short lives. So the theory goes that since sperm can live for 72 hours in your body, you have sex 2 or 3 days before you ovulate. This gives the X chromosome sperm a better chance at reaching the egg. Even with using this method it's still pretty much a shot in the dark. Though it just so happened that when I got pregnant with my daughter my husband and I had sex 2 days before I ovulated and none after then. Good Luck!

Go to www.babyhopes.com adn do there ovulation calendar to pick girl or boy. Male sperm swim faster but female sperm live longer. Have sex early on like a day or two before ovulation.

I always heard that the mans sperm chooses the sex, that there isnt a way to choose it yourself, but I may be wrong, but I have never heard of it.
