Did you try to conceive a certain gender?

My husband and I are discussing the fact of gender.
He says, "you get what you get."
I think there may be something to it~ ph, etc...
Please share your stories or thoughts

I know there's supposed to be an actual science to it, but I believe God is the biggest deciding factor, but that's JMO...there are websites where you can read up on it and definitely books out there.  Best wishes :)

I agree with PP. A lot of times I like to think that there may be ways to help sway gender, but in all reality, the sex is determined for us. This baby was a surprise (so we weren't practicing any particular method of gender swaying), but my husband has 2 daughters from his previous marriage. Everyone kept on telling me that this baby was going to be a girl too- I in fact lead myself to believe it was a girl out of sheer fear of not wanting to be dissapointed. Well, it turns out this little bun in the oven is in fact- a BOY! My husband and I couldnt be more thrilled. There are so many scientific factors that go into the determining of the sex of a child, but I think try as we might- God gives us a little boy or a girl regardless of what we may try. Just my thoughts...Best of luck! 

There are things you can do to try for a certain gender. Read about the Shettles Method online. Also, it is siad that Y sperm (boys) thrive better in alkaline environments and X sperm (girls) thrive better in acidic environments. There are certain foods and supplements you can take to change your vaginal PH. I personally wanted a girl, so I took cranberry supplements and drank a lot of grapefruit juice. Only time will tell, lol. But after my miscarriage a few months ago, I feel blessed to be pregnant and am hoping for a sticky, healthy baby regardless of the gender :)

Not to hijack.. But am I reading your ticker right?! Are you indeed preggers again?!

No worries~
Isn't neat!

I am, and keeping my fingers crossed. 1st dr appt tomorrow :)
Thanks!

We were lucky to conceive Logan. Doctors told me I would never conceive; I did not ovulate.
Well, we know I ovulated once in my life. Another baby regardless of gender will be another miracle gift from The Great Spirit~
Happy Day to you~Cheri

the sex is determined solely by the male sperm.  depends whether an X or Y make it to the egg.  IMO there is no way to sway it either way.

TMI, but you can actually make your vagina a hostile environment for either one. The theory being to encourage survival of which gender you prefer. I have been reading about it online for over a year.
