Do you think you can plan for a boy or girl?

Do you believe in the myths of having a boy or girl? Did it work for you? What did you do?

I don't know if it will work but next time I will try for a girl by BDing earlier in my O-cycle. I would be happy with another boy (always said I'd rather have two boys then two girls) but want to at least try for that girl before we're done.

No. One of the old wives tales that I heard was true for me, but I loved the surprise!

I think the Shettle's method sounds like it's worth a shot, but it definitely didn't work for my friend. She and her DH had sex the day she O'd (it was the only time they ttc'd that cycle) and they had a girl. I've heard it also has a lot to do with your personal pH levels. Some girls are just meant to have all boys and others are meant to only girls. My grandma had 6 girls! GL!

i read all about the methods before we were ttc and we did wait until i "thought" i o'd before trying the first month in an attempt to get a boy first. (i have an older brother and always wanted that big brother) it worked for us, but i have no idea if it was dumb luck or not.

i think i will be trying for a girl next using shettle's opinion that you should bd before ovulation for one---so we'll see in 2010 if it works or not cause we won't be trying until then!
