We are trying for a bub, i am taking ovulation tests but have not ovulated yet we had sex. do you think it is impossible to now get a boy, if i am indeed pregnant? of course we will be happy with whatever god blesses us with, BUT we only wanted to children and one of each would be lovely.

No it's not impossible. Chances are higher for a girl if you have sex a few days before you ovulate since the male sperm die quicker, but there's still a chance for a boy. I had sex 4 days before ovulation, trying to time it for a girl, and it worked for me.

Try reading "choose the sex of the baby" (something like that).. I've heard if you want a boy you have to get pregnant on your ovulating day ( because when the sperm for a boy swims fast but also dies faster) and for the girl a couple of days before the ovulation days ( its slower but lives longer)... hope it could of help....Maybe a girl

I've heard that female sperm lives longer and male sperm swims faster. So based on that, you are more likely to have a girl if you have sex right before you ovulate and a boy if you have sex right after you ovulate. Who really knows if any of this is true.

I believe you can try to increase the chances of having a boy/girl by timing intercourse but there are no guarantees. You could still have a boy given the right conditions even if it's before your ovulation day.

Time before or after ovulation has no effect of the sex of the baby. There is a 51% chance that it will be a boy, and 49% chance that it will be a girl. No exceptions, no matter who was on top or where you are carrying.
