I really want to try to conceive a girl - any suggestions?

Question

I have heard that with certain factors it is possible to help conceive a boy or a girl. I know it is not guaranteed - but if certain things help, then I would like to know.

I do have this website http://babymed.com/Tools/Fertility/Calendar/Default.aspx

but I dont know how the calendar works exactly, I dont know what all the stuff means. like checking body temperature to know when ovulation occurs, checking cervical mucus for fertility etc...

Have you heard any tricks to help conceive a girl?

Answer 1

you can get a girl....if you can somehow talk your dna and chromosomes into it lol...its all mother nature hun. its not  possible for you to pick what your gonna have. like the others said pray and be thankful..

Answer 2

You can't choose, there is nothing that can determine the s*x before the fetus starts forming unless you had loads of money and payed some doctor people to do it.

Answer 3

Well The men carry the s*x of the baby. The male sperms are faster and the female are stronger. If you are aiming for a girl, try a little after your ovulation date. As the male rush down to the egg which will be a farther journey a bit after your prime ovulation date, they may die off or tire out, but the famales although slower, they are stronger and more likely to survive the journey. babyzone.com

Well i just read your added details and it looks like you already knew what i had told you. If you want a girl, there is nothing wrong with trying to tip the scales in that direction, i never for a moment thought that you would love your baby any less if it were a boy so we arent ALL against you here.Good luck and i hope it all works out.

Answer 5

Well, the only sure-fire way to conceive a girl is via in-vitro fertilization, and having the doctor only implant eggs that have been fertilized with a X chromosome from your husband or boyfriend.  Time for a little biology lesson:

Gender is determined from the male - sperm carries either an X or a Y chromosome.  The female has two X chromosomes, hence the mother does not contribute to gender.  So when the man ejaculates inside you he will release thousands, if not millions, of sperm - some carrying an X and some carrying a Y chromosome.  Depending on which sperm fertilizes the egg you will get the gender of baby related to the sperm's s*x chromosome.

So take from that lesson that there is no natural way to "help conceive a girl" - its either in-vitro with genetic testing or natural 50/50 chance.

Answer 6

you can't really choose.

but praying and believing always helps.

........

why so many thumbs down.

i think i had a great answer.

but that's fine.

i deffinetely understood the question.

i was just saying, if you believe in God, pray and believe.

that's what i did, and i recieved.

Answer 7

Why not just take any blessing you're given, boy or girl, and be thankful?

P.S.  Gender is determined by the sperm, so nothing a woman can do will alter the possibility of one s*x vs. the other.

Answer 8

Get pregnant and you have a 50-50 chance.  That as close you are going to get!!!
