TTC - Trying for Girl

[Danielle_NZ]

I'm wondering if there is anyone else out there who is TTC for a little girl at the moment, we have decided to try but in the process of preparing the body and would love to chat with others on the same journey.

Hey, there's a site you might find very useful. It's called gender dreaming. It has great info on diet. And all other things related to swaying. All the best

[Mummy&Daddy2Be]

there's another great forum too. google "in-gender forums"

i hope you get your little girl

[Danielle_NZ]

Thanks ladies I'll check them out

Do some of you (for those of you who have already had your babies) find that the techniques have worked in gender prediction? I've heard that douching helps to conceive a girl because the vinegar kills the male sperm easier. Has anyone tried this? I haven't actually heard of many other methods.

They say the 'female' sperm last longer. In our case I would say that has been true of our 'technique' as we start DTD every second night from the start if my fertile period so I reckon a lot of 'female' sperm are hanging around when the egg releases.

There is a gender swaying section on BB if you have a look for it. There is also another website called A-Gender I think it is. I wish I was lucky enough to be trying for a baby girl if we ever get to we will be doing diet (remember to test your CM and your dh's swimmers for what ph they are) don't just trust that the diet is working. We would also chart and DTD 4-3 days before O to hopefully make sure that there are hopefully only girl swimmers surviving ready to fertilise the egg. And take loads of magnesium & calcium to help the egg be the right polarity to attract female sperm too..... I'd also consider microsort (google it)

Hi

I am mum of two boys and we are trying for our last baby and im praying we can have our little girl.
I am temping each morning and tracking to try and find out when O occurs.
Also taking magnesium and calcium. Trying to DTD from when period finishes up to about 4 days before O to maximise more girl sperm.


Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!

Any tips to conceive a boy? I'm about to ttc after 3 girls

[Lady-bug]

Mildez-Attempting to conceive as close to ovulation as possible for a boy, not sure about diet related things though.

[Cherished]

You'll want to be as alkaline as you can for a boy and DTD on ovulation day. Good lucky honey.

[Mildez]

Thanks for the tips. I do think I conceived my children a few days before I O'd. This time I will try and only do it after I have O'd.

Sorry what's Douching?

I'm trying to conceive a girl after 3 boys! Any tips would be great! How do I test my cm mucus?

[minimatron]

Well I followed the plan for diet and exercise at gender dreaming . I have 3 weeks til my scan. Fingers crossed for blue, but healthy :-) I preferred gender dreaming over in gender site, it was a lot more realistic and the lady who runs it has done a lot of research and written essays on the topics. She seems very knowlagable. I did find both sites conflicting at times...who to believe though!

[Mildez]

I have looked at the gender sites and it seems to me that 50% of people that gender sway get their preferred gender so its only as successful as it is if you don't sway. In saying this after 3 DD's myself I am gender swaying with diet in the hope to have a son with my 4th. Goodluck minimatron I hope your bub is a boy. The gender dreaming site says after 3 DD's your chances of a boy as number 4 are actually higher then 50%.

[minimatron]

Lol mildez... even though I swayed I still believe my chances are 50/50! One thing that I did notice them all talk about was that when ttc a girl you have to jump and dump ...which means ...if you don't know... that as soon as dh has finished you get up and go to the loo and empty most of the sperm out. I found this interesting, because I would always get up and go to the toilet straight after because I was paranoid of getting utis which I am prone to. This time I made sure I didn't move for a good 30 minutes after. Good luck to you too.

[saramac]

Good luck minimatron with your scan!

We are in the process of trying for a girl after having 2 boys.
Im on calcium and magnesuim and we are about to start dtd in this cycle.
My only problem is im never 100% sure when I O. I have been charting and temping but its so hard to know how long to dtd up till without it swaying too much for a boy. Going by my previou charts on average I O about CD18/19 so will dtd the up till CD14.

Also i must admit im nervous about going from 2 kids to 3....is it scary??

[Mildez]

saramac I found going from 2 kids to 3kids much much easier then going from 1 to 2 or even none to 1. Alot of my friends have also found number3 just slips right in from the start like they were always there. Its hard for me to remember us as a family of 4 now as it seems like its always been the 5 of us I'm hoping going from 3 to 4 is easy also.

minimatron I didn't run and dump with my last two and they ended up girls Once you start getting really into it there is just so much to swaying isn't there? The only thing I am really doing is trying to change the PH of my cm and not lowering DH sperm count to much. I'm also eating breakfast religiously which is something I dont normally do and having V8 or pinneapple juice and reduced dairy drastically. We will also try to DTD close to O and afterwards with anyluck.
