It is all up to nature, but I figure it may be worth the fun of trying as long as you are open to either sex. Apparently the sperm that carry the Y (boy) chromosome can swim faster, but the sperm that carry the x (girl) chromosome live longer. More boys are conceived when you have intercourse very close to ovulation. More girls are conceived when having intercourse longer before ovulation allowing the boy sperms to die off and the girl sperms to await the release of the egg. Also sexual positions may be a factor. To have a girl have sex in missionary position with no orgasm for her with shallow insertion. To have a boy have sex from behind with deep insertion and she should get her big O. Take a look at this website, it explains and offer fertility calendar according to trying for a particular sex.... http://ibabydust.com/

Doesn't really matter what his siblings are or what they had :))

Yes, the man gets to determine the sex. :(( I too wish for a girl, but my hubby is determined to have his own football team!!

What really determines the sex are these things:

1. The strength of the man's sperm - the stronger the more likelyhood of boys
2. The "reaction" your body has to his sperm - if your body sees his sperm as anitbodies the more likely you are to have a girl
3. The timing of fertilazation - if you time it right on more likelyhood of boy but if you time it a little later like 24 hours more chance of a girl

I went through fertility treatment and my doc explained this to me. He said we could try for a girl or a boy. I let nature take it's course - had already had too much medical intervention at that point. And, I have a lovely son :)))

Also, I read "Getting Pregnant with Modern Techonology". Dr. Seiber is a leading r.e. and helped developed IVF in the US and petitioned Congress for the reinstatement once it was banned in the 60's.

My suggestion is buy some OPKs once you get a positive wait 12 hours to have intercourse. To make doubly sure you can always abstain during your peak week until you get a positive opk. That's going to be my strategy the next time :))

Good Luck!!

I heard that more girls are born in the world than boys. It's something like 56% girls and 44% boys. Dont know why but thats what ive heard. Really though you can never tell what youre gonna have until you have it or until an ultrasound tells you.

it is hard to say but you are right about it being on his side of the genes do any of his siblings have kids ? that may help you figure out what your chances are, but really there is no way to make sure its a girl

Its a 50 50 chance, it doesnt matter what his father had or what his grandfather had, its his sperm.

it's up to the man but if it happen's to be a girl it does it doesn't happen to be one then you should love it no matter what and the gender shouldn't matter as long as the babe is healthy is the thing that count's
