baby_girl150If you are not interested in genetic engineering or artificial insemination, there is no certain way of conceiving one gender versus the other. There are, however, various theories about how to increase your chances of a specific gender.

Selecting a Baby’s Gender

According to surveys more than 90% of expectant parents have a preference in regard to their unborn child’s gender. The reasons behind the preferences are varied, and when parents don’t get their wish, they adapt and are overjoyed to welcome any new baby to their home. But if you are ready for a baby girl and want to try to tip the scales, here’s how:


The Shettles Method

Doctor Shettles penned the most popular method designed to increase the chances of a girl. Before beginning the method, you must understand the rationale behind it. Women produce an egg every month during ovulation. The egg is always carrying an X chromosome. Two Xs make a girl and one X (the egg) plus one Y make a boy.

Men are responsible for the second X or Y. Each sperm is assigned one chromosome. When a male ejaculates, he sends 200-400 million sperm into the vagina that immediately begin searching for the released egg. Out of those millions, only one sperm gets the prize, and the chromosome of that one unites with the X of the egg, and the miracle has begun.

The Shettles method offers instruction on how to get more X-carrying sperm to the egg and beat out the Ys.

Conceiving a Girl

To actively work at conceiving a girl, you must know your cycle. Chart your cycle for a couple of months to see what day you begin your period and what day you are ovulating. You can do this using an ovulation kit or basal temperature. Then, once you know the day you will ovulate, begin having sex immediately following the end of your period. Have sex at least once a day until two or three days before ovulation. Then stop. (Sorry, guys.)


Y-carrying sperm swim faster than X-carrying sperm. The boy-makers also tend to die out more quickly. By stopping three days before ovulation, you are ensuring the only sperm left waiting around for the released egg are the longer-lasting, slow-swimming X-carriers. (Sperm can live up to 5-7 days inside a woman’s body.) When the remaining sperm meet up with the egg, it is far more likely an X sperm will get the honors.

Doctor Shettles also suggests having sex in the missionary position to deposit sperm as close to the entrance of the vagina as possible. He also suggests the woman not orgasm during sex (Sorry, girls.) An orgasm can make the vaginal environment alkaline which can kill off sperm more quickly preventing any pregnancy.

Easy Step By Step Instructions
  • Know your cycle
  • Use the Shettles Method to time your pregnancy
  • Plan accordingly
Warnings, Advice, and Suggestions

A lot of people have been leaving some shocking comments. If you are able to conceive a child, love it regardless. Trying for a baby girl is one thing, being unhappy if you end up having a boy is pathetic. If you find yourself angry or unhappy at having a baby boy seek professional help right away!

    I have three sons i would love to have a girl. just to put this on the table my boys are loved and i adore and charish my boys very much so dont get that idea im unhappy but my husband and i both want to try for a girl just to change it up a bit

  2. Denice says:

    seriously i think everyone has a preference of what gender child they want…yeah they may be so-called just as happy b/c they’re bringing a new baby home, but for the mom especially it’s still a disappointment to have the opposite of what you had your heart set on. The dad/guy i wouldn’t really be concerned with b/c obviously the mom the one carrying the baby 9 months…i’ll be honest i would really be disappointed if i got pregnant and had a boy; i’d probably give him up for adoption. i think ppl on here are so concern with what other ppl think and they aren’t honest with themselves…after all why would you be on this site if you didn’t truly have your heart set on having a baby girl…i’m jus being real

    • Janna says:

      Denice,

      Yes you have the right to your opinion and to be honest. I would like to ask you how would you have felt if your parents expecially your mom had decided that because you came out a girl instead of a boy to give you away? Children are a gift that some cannot expierence the joy of bringing into this world. I was told I would not be able to have children, but thanks to God I have 3 wonderfull boys. I was really hoping for a girl the last one, but didn’t happen. I can’t imagine given him up, he has been such a blessing and so loving. My husband and I only have one chance left to have a girl. I have to have a hystorectomy immediately after the next one, but no matter what God Blesses me with boy/girl I will love it and never think to give it up no matter what. It’s not the babies fault it wasn’t what you wanted. What you do you get back on you. Think about that if your family, children, spouse, friends, job all one day decided that they really didn’t want you anymore because just of you. I wish that we both get blessed with a girl, but I believe if you don’t love what God gives you he can take all you love away. Good Luck to you!

  3. BarbiD35 says:

    I read an article many years ago about how to better your chances of having the desired sex of baby was based on the Shettles Method, as the writer described. Male sperm are stronger and faster swimmers so to have a boy… do not have sex for a few days then have sex at or around ovulation.

    To have a girl requires having sex more than one time around ovulation. The first time…use a condom. Follow up within 24 hours without a condom…. female sperm will be more plentiful then (along with some slower and weaker males). Of course this does not guarantee anything though.

  4. Sam says:

    I have a wonderful 14month old little boy and we are starting to try for a second. I have decided to try for a little girl although to be honest I would be just as excited if we had another boy as I have loved every second of bringing him up and he would have a brother to pass on all his naughty little habits to…or a sister to protect! However…I know two people who used this method and both had little girls. Whether it was the method or was meant to be who knows…but they are very happy.

  5. Liah says:

    Hi, after having serious medical complications from my first pregnancy it took 6 1/2 years to become well enough to consider having another baby…not to mention to convince my husband and doctors to allow me to have one (with their help) Seeing as it would definately be my last biological child, and having a 6 year old daughter, I wanted to try to see if there was a method to follow – I used the above method (which would definately explain how we got our daughter) but used it to try for a boy. [Please note, i would’ve been thrilled with ANY gender, but would’ve loved the chance to experience raising a boy and girl). I did the charting of my cycle for approx. 4 months and we found out we were pregnant after 2 months of trying. In short – my daughter explained to the sonographer when we were having the 18 week ultrasound that it was “a boy for sure.” …… and it was. After a drama-filled pregnancy and 1/3 of the time spent in hospital, i held out til 38 weeks and our 5 pound, healthy baby boy was born.

  6. rachel says:

    i have 3 boys and have been longing for a girl for years ,we are trying for a girl again ,but if its another boy it will be loved and cheerished like my other children when it comes down to it a baby is a gift from heaven no matter what the sex.maybe change your partner lol

    • shan says:

      I feel the same way. I have 4 boys and i love them dearly but we so badly want a little girl. I would try again and if it was another little man i would love him just like i love my boys but it would break my husbends heart so he realy dosnt want to try. What to do what to do. lol

    • coot says:

      has this method worked for anybody — that is all i want to know?

      • kim goodwin says:

        This works! My mom was given this by her dr before i was born and she planned me and my brother and this method was passed to family and friends for 37 years and it works. I had all 3 of my boys on the ovulation day and my girl I stopped 2 days prior to ovulation and she is now 2. I told about 30 or so people about this and it worked for them. I believe this method very much

  7. admin says:

    KEEP ON TOPIC!

    This is just a friendly reminder to please keep comments on topic. This is not a place for the pros / cons of abortion. If we can limit conversation to the methods of having a particular gender over another and your success or failure of those methods, I think we would all be a little happier.

    Thanks!

  8. Blake Fox says:

    Gosh everyone is having two boys lol anyway the only reason im typing here is to say that an abortion is murder it is a living thing thing with a soul and how to you think god would think about that anyway i want my first child to be a girl but i still be happy either way oh and if your trying to get pregnant try fertility treatments or ivf but be sure you want to do it because it increases your hormones and increases your chances of releasing an egg but if your already fertile it can result in multiples people taking fertility treatments have a 1 in 555 people getting quadruplets or more good luck to you all

  9. Tenille says:

    How can people talk like this about their own children!!! Oh we have boys but we’d really like a girl!!! Give me a break, you should feel blessed you have a child in the first place. THERE ARE MANY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT JUST WANT THE CHANCE TO BE A MOTHER OR FATHER AND CANT So stop feeling sorry for yourself and think about those poor people for one second!!!
    Gees, some people! I have 2 beautiful, beautiful boys and have suffered a miscarriage before either of them, their lives are so precious to me and I wouldnt give the biggest **** in hell if they had been girls. Dont’ wish your children away or you’ll live to regret it.

  10. jammie says:

    ok i just can’t wait to have a baby i got married about 3 weeks ago and
    i just want to say to hose who are made about having a boy and want to put him up for adoption thats sick how can u have the heart to carry a baby in ur stomach for nine months then put them up for adoption just because the baby is not what you expected i’m only ninteen for gods sake and my husband is 22 i want to have a baby ASAP because i dot want to make the same mistake my parents made my dad was 39 and my mom was 29 when they got married then 12 years later they decide to have a baby thats why i’m so keen in timing anywa ood luck with ur babys and congratulations !i!i!

    • Denice says:

      well for one hate to break it to you but you guys won’t last and i’m not being a hater but you’re what 19 you have no idea what life is even about let alone your 22 year old hubby…you guys sooooo should’ve waited and my advice to you is don’t get pregnant right way b/c chances are (and talk to you mom or any other older female) your marriage most likely won’t last more than 5 years tops. i say this b/c everyone i know that was right outta highschool and so madly in love are now divorced and the woman is stuck with kids and little to no futurs b/c she gave that up to be married and pop out babies. It sounds wonderful but life’s not a fair tale and you’ll see that as you get older…i used to be in your shoes but then i looked a the reality of things…seriouly the statistics are out there…but good luck to you

      • Mairi says:

        Really? No one can ever know how mature a person is and if they are ready for a relationship or not. Butting into her life just because of how bitter you feel at life isn’t going to change anything.
        My husband and I have been together for 3 years, have 2 beautiful boys, and are still deeply in love. I don’t care what you say, you don’t know her and you don’t have the right to judge such a thing.
        If your so intelligent and informed about the world maybe you should have learned by now that statistics mean jack.
        Life may not be a fairy tale, but whatever way life takes her I’m sure she’ll be happy about her ending. Living with regrets mean that you aren’t happy with the person that you are…Live, learn, love. But stay in your own life.

      • Sara says:

        You sound bitter. You cannot judge everyone elses circumstances. My husband and i have been together since we were sixteen and we are more in love now than ever. 8 years, two children and better than ever. Maybe if it is bitterness that you are speaking from your cynicism may have had something to do with it. along with you expecting things to be what you expect or you are willing to just toss it aside. but good luck to you.

  11. Mrs.Vicki P says:

    i don’t know how any mother could have a child that they carry under their heart for a total of a true 10 months or 40 weeks could just give their child up for adaption and go on with there life if i was to do that i would never forgive myself. A baby is innocent and has done nothing wrong no matter male or female// boy or girl,to those whom don’t know male v.s. female now on the other hand if i knew that i couldn’t give a child the life that he/she deserved than i would probly still try be a good mom and if i couldn’t then i would do what is best for my child but with regret because we/you know if you can afford a child and if not than they make a thing called BIRTH CONTROL!Their are to many birth controls out there for young lady’s and/or a woman whom cannot afford a child due to lac of work or not being married or what ever so to the people whom empathies with the monsters that give their baby’s up or have abortions phooey on you i am a young mom i started when i was 18 i got pregnate and you don’t see me giving my two beautiful boys up and trust me i might feel like pulling my hair out but thats mother hood and i am married so i know how hard it is when you married so it must be 10 time worse for the woman whom are single im sorry to sound harsh but im tired of these young little girls yes you (16 yr olds) having baby’s and the mothers give them up or are on welfare the rest of their life.

    • Sophia says:

      How can you call someone a monster when you don’t even know their situation? Some people out there just make a mistake and then they are smart enough and love their baby enough to know they can’t raise a child, and they give some loving couple the best gift . Some of those people are young that give up their baby, but would you rather a 16 year old child raise a baby when they know they are not responsable enough to. Is it a better life for a baby just because they are raised by their biological parent, and never really loved the way they should be. Or given to a family who truely wants a child, and will give them everything they can.

    • Denice says:

      well unlike you i wanted to make a life for myself…yes i’ve had an abortion, 2 actually… and yes it was hurtful but i feel that i did the right thing for myself, the kid, and the fathers. We were young, uneducated teenagers that had no business having kids. I look at my friends that had babies way too young and now they basically have no future and are stuck by themselves with kids. Try getting a date, having a life, goin to school/college, or getting a decent job/career when you’ve gotta drop outta school to take care of a kid. Maybe we’re from different backgrounds and have different beliefs but like i said i feel i did what overall was best, i’d hate to know i’d be attached to some guy from high school for the rest of my life all b/c of some dumb teenage sexual experimenting. I’m from a small town where ppl don’t really believe in birth control, but if anyone is nieve enough to think their kid will wait til marriage to have sex, then you’ve got a very rude awakening

  12. maggiett says:

    Whatever the reason, you should know that there are natural, noninvasive, safe, and inexpensive things that you can do at home to greatly increase your chances of getting the baby girl that you want. I’ll offer advice to help you achieve this in the following website:

  13. Veronica says:

    OK TO THE GIRL THAT IS NOT HAPPY WITH HER SON LET ME JUST TELL YOU THAT YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF SAYING THAT. YOU MAKE ME SICK LET ME TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE A SORRY ****!! I HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU SO MUCH. HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE YOUR BABY YOU CARRIED IT FOR 9 MONTHS YOU HAVE TO BOND AND YES YOU HAVE TO GIVE THAT CHILD FOR ADOPTION BECAUSE I WOULDN’T WANT ANY CHILD TO HAVE YOU AS A MOTHER!!!

    • admin says:

      I could not agree more. Let’s try and keep the discussion positive. If you are having problems like this, you need to seek professional help, not looking for guidance on a how to website.

      If anyone has succeeded with this method, please share!

  14. Kasey says:

    I have a little 1year old boy myself and my husband and i are really wanting a girl.
    ive read up on a bunch of things about this and the shettles theory and they all are based around the same thing.

    *the X-carrying sperm are slower moving but live longer.

    *the Y-carrying sperm are faster and yet they die off(perish, sorry for the lack of better word)

    so therefore to conceive a girl, have sex from the last day of your period up until about 2 1/2 3 days before your ovulation day.

    for a boy, try on the exact day of ovulation.

    there are also “girl diets” and “boy diets” .
    check them out.
    thats pretty much all i found.

    theres a chance what you do can choose the gender of your baby.
    unless you go to a doctor and have them separate the male from the female, just hope, but either way, be happy either way. just as long as its healthy.

  15. KRISTY says:

    i have 2 adorable boys, 7 & 5. i am longing for another baby but i so badly want it to be a girl. i have spent endless hours researching how to make this possible, i would really appreciate any advise from anyone out there, especially someone who has successfully used this method. the clock is ticking for us and i want to be confident before we start trying. of course we would love it as much if it were a boy, but i long for a baby girl so much.

    • Erin says:

      i feel the same way. I have two boys 7 and 3. I hated being pregnant and dont know how many times God will Bless me with boys before I’m blessed with a girl too. But God gave me a desire and dream to have a little girl and I dont believe God gives us dreams to torture us with. :) He knows the desires of our hearts and loves us so much that he wants all our dreams to come true. if you don’t share my belief in God then I still hope I can encourage you that this method is what it is and if you dont try then you will have nothing more so i say TRY take a step.

  16. robyn says:

    i want to have a baby in the near future for the 1st time :) me and my boyfriend have been tryin i just havent seemed to concieve i wuld like a girl nd now i have found out wen im ovulating it will make it easyer to consieve i might try this theory to see if it works but if it doesnt nd i have a healthy baby at the end thats all that maters to me

    • ASH says:

      My goodness, how old are you!? You are not married, you can not spell correctly, and you are trying to create the most challenging event in all mankind (motherhood). Do you have any idea of the mental, financial, emotional, and spousal responsibilities you face ahead???? Do NOT do this because it seems like it might be fun having a baby with some one you like. You should be grounded in your life before you make such an important decision involving another human beings life. You not being married makes me concerned that you will not end up staying with your boyfriend in the future when life gets really hard. Your baby needs a secure family and a father. Your choice today will forever be with you and destine your future.
      Please be responsible with your choices.

      • admin says:

        I will try and stay neutral but, let’s try to get the comments back on track. This post is not about the rights or wrongs of abortions but, rather a how to guide and discussion about how to have a baby girl. The steps in the guide have had positive reviews.

        Please, try to limit conversation to the methods of having a particular gender over another and your success or failure of those methods only! It is very easy to get passionate about a viewpoint, so let us try and keep on topic please.

        Thanks!

      • Denice says:

        oh whatever you were obviously raised in the perfect little suburban white picketted fence home. Just b/c someone isn’t married doesn’t make them any less qualified to be a parent…i never plan to get married but i definatly plan to have a kid. who died and made you God, whata hater!

        • Claire says:

          I agree with Denice… I dont think it is fair for you to comment about other ppl as they may not have the same beleifs as you, but them wantin to have a baby really has nothing to do with what other people think…. and about gettin married i am 21 and i was with my partner for 3 years straight out of high school, i was 20 when i feel pregnant and that wasnt a planned thing but in my own personal opion i couldnt terminate or anything like that ( dont want to offerend anyone but thats just me =) So I have a BEAUTIFUL 9month old baby!! he is my world and i couldnt picture my life without him!!!!! My sons father and i are no longer together we just arnt on the same level anymore, but we are still great friends and my son loves his dad and visits him all the time!!!! So i am a single my and i think i do a awsome JOB, just goes to show not everything is ment to be perfect!!!!

          • Claire says:

            I was just looking on here for a friend and cant beleive the things some ppl are sayin to each other!!! espically about things that have nothin at all to do with them… married not married wanting a boy wanting a girl!!! who cares!!! its nothing to do with u and u are obviously wantin to have a girl otherwise why are u on here!!!

            I am just utterly shocked at everyone’s lack of grammatical and spelling ablities, PLEASE don’t homeschool your children….

      • Samantha says:

        Just because someone can not spell very well does not mean they are uncapable of loving and caring for a child. That was a very heartless thing for you to say…you dont even know this girl. My parents found eachother when my mother was 16, and had a child at 16. She is now 41 and still very much in love and still married to the same man. Try not to be so negitive and feel happy for others.

  17. kristy says:

    i have a 15mth old little boy and i love him to bits he was a gift from god for sure… but i am now recently married and i am wanting a girl so my son can have a little sister to protect when older that is and play with!! has anyone actually used this method themselves??and i have a very unpradictable cycle please help….

  18. 3rd time lucky says:

    i have two boys and just found out i am pregnant again can i do anything to change the sex of my baby? i am only a couple weeks gone and am desperate for a girl or is it too late??

    • ada says:

      no. you cannot change the sex of your baby. female carry XX males carry XY. females give one x males give either Y or X. if 2 X’s combine you have a girl baby. if X and Y combine, you have a boy baby. there is no changing it. it’s there from the very start.

    • coot says:

      seriously? change the sex of your baby after conception —
      yes….you ride on a unicycle while tapping your head and rubbing your belly. WAAALA! you will have changed the sex of your kid.
      cripes –

  19. Kim says:

    To Dayna – Not trying to be harsh, but you had an abortion very recently and your thinking about having another baby? Please be sure this time so you don’t end up aborting the next child as well. Because in GODs eyes their already a human life, even though he merely think of them as an EGG or a partly developed fetus.

    To Girl – Obviously your screen name matches your character, you sound like nothing but a GIRL/Child. Your not happy with his & YOUR son? Please give this child up for adoption because if you did not fall instantly in love with this child on the day that he was born, it’s probably safe to say that you wouldn’t never fall in love with GODs gift to you. I wanted another little girl when I found out that I was pregnant for the second time but when I found out it was a boy and he finally arrived into this world my heart was bursting with love for this child so much that I couldn’t even believe it myself! He’s 4 yrs old now and we are very close to each other. I wouldn’t trade either of my kids for nothing in this world!

  20. [KANDY] says:

    AAAGGGHHHH CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP…I WANNA GET PREGNANT SOON BUT BEFORE I DO THAT I WANNA KNOW IF THIS [METHOD] REALLY WORKS?? SO I CAN TRY 4 A GIRL….CUZ I REALLY REALLY WANNA GIRL!!!!!!!!!

  21. heather says:

    Hi everyone! I have 2 boys who are the world to me and have changed my life and with my first I was opened to what ever God blessed me with,the 2nd I thought I wonder if it was a girl. After i had the 2nd I just fell in love with him even more. Now im married and in a new relationship he loves my boys just like his own yet he wishes for a girl and you can’t help but to imagine and wishing the same
    yet 1 thing that we all seem to forget is that its in Gods hands not ours. And if we just believed and trusted him and not curse him when we don’t get what we want he will bless you. Its so funny that a man Wants a girls and a girl Wants a boy and they never stop to think well what sex are they? I wish everyone the best.%?

  22. Kaze says:

    When I get old enough to have a baby, I strongly hope to have a little girl. I grew up in a household with women only, (my mom and dad got divorced when I was 21 months old, and I’m an only child) and I couldn’t even talk to boys until last year (I am 16.) I just feel that I won’t be able to properly relate to a little boy and understand his wants and needs. A girl would also be a lot more fun for me, but I’ll love my child either way! ^_^

  23. dayna says:

    hello to everyone. My husband and I have 2 wonderful little boys that we love with all our hearts about 2 months ago I got pregnant again and we decided to have an abortion because we thought that we were not ready for another child financially. It was a difficult
    Decision to make and everyday it bothers me and I get very emotional at times. I want another child dearly but when my husband and I are ready to expand our family we will try this method. God
    Luck to all

    • Mzwandile says:

      Hi
      I think that wasnt a very good decision to have abortion at all. Children are a gift from God and destroying that life can haunt you for the rest of your life. Next time never ever opt for that kind of decision its not good and also life-treatining.

      • K.EV. says:

        i agree with you… my opinion is that if you are going to have sex at all u take the chance of getting pregnant… when i got pregnant for my second son i was shocked because it truly was bad timing…not to mention we werent financially ready for a second child but we made that baby and today i have a healthy happy and very much alive 3 year old son… not being able to “afford” him just ment that we had to make sacrifices to be able to support our children and thats what we did… i think abortion is never a option especially for a child u made… i think the only way i would condone abortion is if the pregnancy was putting the mothers life at risk and that was the ONLY way to save her life… and i have even thought about it in rape cases but even then there are ways to prevent it before it happens. The law that supports abortion states that it is a womans right to not be inconvenienced by an unwanted pregnancy… but i believe that if pregnancy is an inconvenience then to avoid it she needs to be inconvenienced by getting on birth control… at least try to prevent it… and i would have to ask any woman who has had an abortion 2 questions… 1. how would u feel to know ur parents considered sucking you out with a vacuum while you were in the womb and 2. how can u honestly consider trying to get pregnant again regardless what gender of child u wanted when you could have very well aborted that son or daughter… its called responsibility and its time some of us accept it… and adoption is always better than taking a life away from an innocent child because of selfishness…

        • ASH says:

          I 100% agree with THIS…NO ABORTION. Killing a child because of bad timing or money!!???? WOW ! Why not kill off your already born children if you need some extra cash!!! What a selfish decision. I would sacrifice everything I have to keep my child unborn or born. They are my life, apart of my body, and my responsibility, killing them would be the death of me.
          I am mother of one dear, little 1 year old boy and I wanted a girl in the beginning, but holding my boy for the first time was like being touched by God. I felt blessed! He was perfect. My husband and I would like to try for a girl still but I can say I know I would love my next child just as much if it turned out to be a boy again. We have had so many financial struggles just around the time I became pregnant with my boy; I think the very thought of destroying him because we did not have a savings account is SICK!!!!! He is the greatest gift I have ever received, money would never have replaced him!!!!

        • sarah says:

          i would have to agree that i do not agree with abortion, i got pregnant with my first son at the age of 15, the father insisted that i have an abortion when i told him that i was pregnant with his child. soon after i had my baby boy got on birth control, seven months later found out that i was six months pregnant with another child. I have two boys now 7 and 8 that i love more than anything their father just took me to court and took them away from me after he didnt want me to have them and he got a dwi with both of my babies in the car when they where only 1 & 2 years old. When i had them i had to quit school and get a full time job to take care of my children. now the boys father is married to what was my friend from grade school, who he was cheating on me with. I raised, provided, loved my two children and judge rawley in ithaca court just takes my children from me and gives them to an abusive alcoholic. Im heartbroken and lost.

          Hello i am very sorry but if you have ever been sexually assualted(raped) you would know that sometimes there are not ways to prevent and it happens by people you trust… and i do not think that you should feel you have to keep a child because of that so…if you do not know please do not say anything and to have an abortion is a persons own choice whatever the reason people should not be so harsh to them… i have never had any but i know people that have and sometimes it is for the best! so please do not judge people for there decisions it is not yours! and this sexual assult part you have put here really gets me cuz i have been assualted and if it had went that afr and i got pregnant i would abort the child why would you have something that you would maybe never learn to love because it is a daily reminder of a horriable thing that has happened to you

      OMGosh… that’s so sad. If you never want to face that kind of stress again and to be able to do what you really want to do then we should talk more.

      first i would just like to say, congratulations on your 2 beautiful boys. i know that an abortion must have been a very difficult decision, but can’t that also be a bit pricey. if you couldn’t afford another child at that time, adoption is always a very good and highly respected option. that child could have been a doctor or a scientist that cured some sort of cancer and now the world will never know.

    My wife and i have been trying for years to have a baby, were new at this, and so very much would love to have a child. Some say 2 days before ovulation, and some say 2 days after. I’m so very confused, my wife and i have been trying for about 5 years now, and we have different schedules in the working industry, and feel were going to miss out in life, what can we do to concieve a beautiful healthy child ?

      hope to those less fortunate than i!!!
      honestly the only sure way to get a child is to stop trying and just do what married couples all around the world do and if you still cannot have a child and can afford to have one try invetro it does wonders my friend was told she would never have children and now is the mother of twin girls and has 1 on the way…good luck to you and GOD BLESS YOU WITH A BEAUTIFUL BABY!

      Hi. I was watching the Doctor’s on TV and the gyno/ob was speaking about this exact topic. If you have a 28 day cycle then you want to have sex 2 days prior to your ovulation, which is 15 days after your menstral cycle. You also want to have sex on ovulation day and 2 days after. This will ensure the process.

      This information was from a doctor and not me.

      Hope this helps! :O)

        Hi. I have 2 wonderful boys who I love with all my heart. We are tring for our 3rd child. Before we had our boys we lost 2 boys. One had a terrible heart problem and the other tied 3 knots in the umbilical cord. I was married before and my ex-husband killed my child which was a 3 month old boy. So I have had 5 boys and I would love to have a girl. We have tried this theory exactly how it says. If it works I will let you know.

        Hi firstly yes you are correct re having sex 2 days before ovulation. However if you have a 28 day cycle then you ovulate on the 14th day approx. 2 days prior to ovulation is 12 days counting from the 1st day of your period. Try an ovulation kit as not all woman ovulate at set times so an ovulation kit or something called maybe baby is a good way of getting to know your cycle. Good luck and remember to have fun trying

    I too have two amazing sons. My husband and I thought two was going to be it for us but have changed our minds! He says the next one will be a boy just like the first two. He called the last two and was right. I wonder if his mental strength plays into all this! LOL! A girl would be wonderful…but we are pretty comfortable with the whole little boy thing.:) Good luck to you all.
