Chances of having a girl
| Fri, 12-05-2008 - 3:49pm |
Hi guys,
Long story short I had 3 boys up untill July of this year, we tried for a girl however ended up with another boy on July 1st,2008.

having another child is not a matter of probability for a girl or boy getting higher/lower,
I mean, the fact you already have 4 boys doesn't change anything about your next being
a boy or a girl. it can go either way, your chances
^^ i forgot about that... i remember looking at that a while ago....
as for it's effectiveness.... i should have been a boy and my brother should have been a girl ;)
I have a friend at work that is pregnant with boy #4.

The cranberry makes you more acidic, which is good for killing off the male sperm and leaving the stronger female ones there to wait for the egg.
I'm sure it doesn't always work, and we may have had a girl regardless, but I thought I'd share. :)

Actually your odds after multiple of one gender do increase of having that same gender. I agree that timing in your cycle based on when you O and maybe position help BUT there is a certain strength to sperm which influences the gender.
I am pg with my 3rd girls. DH and I never tried for either. With #1 and #3 we did bd 2-3 before Oing and hadn't Bd'd before that for at a least a week hence his sperm was strong (this was two different dr's theories btw). With #2 we tried for a few days when I thought I o'd and
