I just skimmed this study, but apparently if the baby implants on the right side of your uterus you're about 97% likely to have a boy. If it implants on the left side, you're 97% more likely to have a girl.
Any 2nd time mom's have u/s pictures we can look at and see how true this is for our group?
We're not finding out the sex... so I'm going to have as much fun guessing as I can

BFP #2 9.12.12, EDD 5.24.13, Baby Boy Born 5.15.13!!
My Ovulation Chart
3 Clomid (100mg) cycles + TI + Trigger = BFN's, Femara + Trigger + IUI#1 = BFN
Femara + Trigger + IUI#2 = BFP!

left side of baby is nestled against a wall... so left?
Thats really interesting.... I was just talking to two friends over the wkd, one preg, one with a 2month old. They asked if I knew which side I implanted, I said I didn't know, but for whatever reason I favor my left side (holding, more crampier than the right, etc)... the preg friend said she implanted on the left and is having a girl.
Here is my u/s..... how do you know this is leftside? just because it shows the sac on(what would be my left side on the screen) doesn't that have more to do with how the sonogram was positioned??

Baby A HB of 142(7w), 161(8w), 164(9w) | Baby B no HB, Vanishing Twin
I wonder if we can really go by the baby's right or left though b/c it could be flipped around a bunch of different ways. The doc said mine was facing up, so it would be my left side too I think. Man this is complicated, haha.

I dont have time to read it right now, but my Dr told me nothing determines sex but the sperm, positions & timing can help decide what sperm are still around when it comes to ovulation but even then theres still no way to be certain.
Implantation occurs wherever the egg happens to fall, theres no real science to it but I was under the understanding that implantation tended to be on the side you ovulated from.
Your u/s pic is the opposite of mine and I am POSITIVE that the baby implanted on my right side. when my pic is up it is on the opposite side of the screen. : ) I have also favored my right side this whole time. More weird pains and feelings on the right side. My husband is DYING for a baby boy, so hopefully this study is accurate for us
Also, I do feel that there is credit to this study. The Ob/gyn that did my last ultrasound showed that the egg came from my left ovary but implanted on the right side of my uterus. You would think if implantation was based on chance, that the baby would have implanted on my left side since the egg came from the left side. I find the article interesting. i go at the end of the month to find out what I am having. I have felt girl the whole time I've been pregnant, but according to the implantation guide, I'll be having a boy. : ) It'll be neat to see which is right, my intuition or a "scientific study".
