Boy VS Girl - ThinnerTimes

There has been alot of discussion in my house of # three lately. We have two boys and are in desperate need of a little girl. I am obbsessed with the thought of having a daughter. I fell like I already know her but she just is not here yet. I walk through stores and start crying at the sight of little girl clothes, I cry when I hold new baby girls. We have thought about adoption but it is so expensive, I really wanted to go through a pregnancy again. I am just scared to have a boy. Any ideas tricks or suggestions. I have baby blues

I have three boys and longed to have a girl myself. My sister-in-law has 2 girls and 2 boys and I was soooo jealous. I would do the same, cry at the girl clothes and new babies. BUT, when I found out my 3rd child was a boy, I resigned myself to the fact that I was not meant to have a girl. I have known many that thought they couldn't have the boy/girl they wanted and ended up having them, unfortunatly that wasn't my case. My husbands grandma informed him that it was his fault I didn't have a girl, because boys meant that the woman was NOT satisfied at conception...Not sure I agree with it (cause I know I was), but I like to hold it over Shawn's head. LOL Although I want a girl terribly, still. I know the only way I will get one is through adoption...So, I am a mom of 3 wonderful boys---they are much easier too.

If you search google "conceiving a girl" you can find a whole bunch of information. Here is just one of the links that came up when I did the search:

When we were trying to get pregnant with our first we really wanted a boy and tried all the boy methods. We got a boy, but not sure if it was luck or due to the methods.

I really hope you can get the little girl you are hoping for.

Melissa,

I TOTALLY understand your feelings. I have two boys. My daughter passed away in 1988 when she was three years old. There have been times over the years I have CRAVED having a little girl. It's hard, I know.

But, with that said, I finally came to accept that if I wanted to have another baby, I had to make total peace (completely) with the fact that I might have a boy... and I had to do this before I became pregnant. I did it. I love my boys so much. (I am sure you feel the same about yours.) I think now, I can't imagine ever wishing they were girls... because they are the loves of my life.

Anyway, there are ways to try to conceive a girl. Intercourse during certain times of your cycle (further away from your most furtile time). But, nothing is really completely effective, even a doctors intervention, which is expensive.

My only advice is to try to come to peace with the possibility of having another boy. Either that, or consider not having another baby. At this point, I am hoping to have a grand-daughter someday!

Well if money is no object you can have sperm selection done with an intrauterine insemination. They spin out the sperm and only inseminate with the girl ones. I believe it had like a 95% success rate. I myself have had boy, boy girl boy girl

I have two girls, two boys ~ my youngest son is adopted from Guatemala and is 100% joy (as all children are

~ if you want any info on international adoption ~ just send me a message~ you do get to specify the gender ~

Ok so here's what I've heard. The little girl spermies are weaker in warmer tempatures. So make sure it's cold... LOL I don't know if it works or not, but I concieved my daughter when it was freezing cold ourside... yes we were outside and both my sons when it was hot... who knows!

I feel your pain, my daughter passed away, and I have this NEED for a daughter in my life. I can't have anymore children, and I miss my daughter so much. I think about adopting all the time, and I too cry all the time when I see little girl clothes etc... I hope you find a way to fullfil your dream!

When I found out I was pregnant 11 years ago I just knew I was having a girl.It never even crossed my mind that I had a 50% of having a boy.Well when I was 7 1/2 months along, during an ultrasound ,It didn't take a trained Dr. to tell me what I saw.I asked where my child's vagina was????The Dr said mine would not be comming with one.

There was a book out called "Special Deliveries" its all about sex selection during sex.

I agree, come to terms before you deceide to have another baby...It could consume your every thought and action.

Best wishes~

I've got three girls and no boys. My middle daughter is on major meds for her epilepsy and if she has to stay on them it is not advised for her to have children due to the likelihood of defects. Now that being said, I've already put my order in for a cute little round faces asian girl. (my daughter's only 16 its not gonna happen soon)

We have a couple at church adopting from China. We had a huge church yard sale and raised over 1850.00 in one day and are thinking about one more time to help defer costs. Never say never. Start thinking of ways to raise money and left over can go into a college fund for the kids.

******HUGS***** I, personally have not lost a child, but I had a cousin who lost her son at 2.5 months old .. and I watch what my mother goes through after losing my brother at 20. I know what they go through to get through a day (12 and 10 years later).. so I thought you could use a hug..
