I currently have two young boys that I
love dearly, but would love to have a
girl. After all the dirt and motor bikes
,pink and frilly is very appealing. Does
anyone have and theories or suggestions on
the best time to conceive to achieve this
outcome. Or any other suggestions to help
me would be great!

the only way to TRULY have a girl is go to
the doctors and have them mess with the
egg and sperm... which I don't suggest
because of cost... other than that, I
really can't help you, I'm sorry.
Good Luck!

How to Conceive a Girl Posted: 09-07-07 14:25pm
Jacinta,
I also have two little boys and the dream
of one day having a baby girl. I've been
searching for this information for the
past two years; just after my second son
was born. My husband and I have
considered all angles, so maybe I can help
you.
There is a medical procedure called
Microsort, which separates the male/female
sperm then fertilizes one of your eggs.
This procedure involves fertility hormones
(you have to give yourself injections),
it's about 80% successful if you're trying
for a girl, and is VERY expensive. We
were quoted approx $18,000 and health
insurance will not cover any of this.
We also considered adoption, but found
that was not going to be the best solution
for our family. Not only can this option
be costly, but we had a very hard time
finding an adoption agency that allowed
you to be gender specific. It's also
difficult to find an agency who
understands why you want to adopt when you
have already been blessed with two
biological children. These were obstacles
we faced, but not the reason we ultimately
decided against adoption.
There are a few methods that you might
want to check into; Shettles and Wheaton.
I can tell you that we tried the Shettles
method when we conceived my second son (we
were trying for a girl).
There are also a few "old wives tales"
that we are considering. There is a
vitamin supplement called Lydia Pinkham
that some people claim will give you a 73%
chance of having a girl. This vitamin
supposedly makes your vaginal mucous more
acidic, which theoretically favors the
female sperm. You can buy some Ph strips
to test this for yourself. Alkaline =
boy, acidic = girl.
Hope this helps! We're still trying for
our little girl. Wish us luck!
