I have 4 boys and my husband would really love to have a girl now. We would both be happy with whatever we are blessed with though. I started my period on Aug. 11 and just wondering as to when to have sex to try for the little girl.
Thanks!!!

Well, I do think that some people are just meant to have boys but having tried for a boy myself and succeeded, here is my two cents. Do you know your cycle pretty well..like when you are ovulating? The whole science, which I am sure you already probably have heard is that male sperm are fast and less hearty while the female sperm are slower moving but more resilent (so many gender jokes here but I won't go there!) Anyway, if you have sex closer to the time of ovulation, it is pretty standard that you tip the scales to a boy sperm getting to the egg..but if you have sex a few days before you know you will ovulate, the theory is that the male sperm have all died off and you increase the odds a female sperm will get the egg. I have also read recently about Ph playing some part..the more acidic your body is, the better for a girl. You can do some google searches for this but they say a diet high in calcium can help increase acidity while a diet high in fat can tip it to be more alkaline. Good luck! Even if you have another boy....little boys so love their mommies! Good luck adding some pink to your home...that will be one tough little girl with all those big brothers!

Do you know when you ovulate?? Have sex PRIOR to ovulation. 1 or 2 days before. Then do not have sex again during this fertile period. Male sperm is faster than female sperm.
For more information, see Toni Wexler's book, "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" or google The Shettles Method.
BTW, these methods are SCIENCE, not old wives tales. Anyone who tells you you can't improve your odds of having a certain gender doesn't know what they are talking about. And yes, I know it works-I had two girls and I ovulate late in my cycle but was trying to conceive as if I had a normal 14 day luteal phase-so I was really having sex before ovulation. Viola! 2 girls.

Hey i have observed from long periods of years that if the woman initiates the sex or if women is more dominant then man during sex it surely results in Girl... U also try to recall in ur family n relatives the Man who have a dominating wife surely has a girl as their elder child...You have to do sex anyways so y not try like this once..just give it a chance may be it works for u too..... n u can also try date rule in which doing sex on even or odd dates results in girl (you can chk it out from Internet)............All the best.....

Eat alot of acidic food like yogurt, fruits, make the vaginal environment more pleasant to the XX sperms. I have the same problem when I tried to conceive, I wanted a girl and end up with a boy, I don't know why everyone I know has boys these day. My mother's generations they seem to have more girls. It must be the water we drink these days, too much chlorine.

I dont believe ther is a time, or way that you ca nchoose, i have heard alot of myths but none have proven true... I dont think it should matter....
Be happy god has blessed you with the children you have, some women out there can not concieve at all, and would die just to have the chance for 1 child of any sex.
I am glad you will be happy with whatever.

Invitro is the only way. They fertilize several eggs and can implant the female ones. It's expensive, but really the only fool-proof way.

I have heard no later than 2 days before ovulation. Not sure if it works or not but also heard the woman should not have an orgasim before either. Good luck!

they can seperate the sperm so they can fertilize your egg with a female sperm. i dont know much about it though. im sure there is some info on the web. good luck!

i highly doubt it's a fact but I was told that alot of people find that if the guy initiates things, it will turn out a girl and if the girl initiates it, it turns out a boy. This is funny...but you never know!
