I don't know how you guys and gals could be so unfeeling. After all, the poor girl is resigning herself to a 20 year sentence and all you can do is give helpful hints on how to get started?

A healthy baby whatever the sex should be the main concern first and foremost. I did read once though that if you were trying for a girl you should have unprotected sex a few days before ovulation. There are many more male sperm than female sperm, but the male sperm apparently die off quickly...so the theory is the female sperm will be all that are left when ovulation occurs.

Never say never, but if you do it's okay to change your mind~me, I think

What day is good for you?

But seriously, have you been trying long? My wife and I had a hard time conceiving our middle child and resorted to the temperature chart. Within two months (and about 30 coital sessions) she was pregnant. I swear, by the time she was pregnant we were both saying "I'll never do that again". Oddly enough, children one and three were easy.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

I don't know of any proven techniques or remedies for ensuring the sex of your child. In the end, your hubby either gives you that little Y chomosome or he doesn't.

Actually there is a scientificly proven method...Here it comes...the big evil "e"...exercise. X sperm are tougher and can survive the heat and weird stressess of exercise better. By killing the male sperm off there a higher chance of a fermale sperm fertizlizing your egg. Also by havinf sex durign yuor peroid the sperm have to wait around and that kills off more male sperm than female. Higher chance of your next egg being female fertilized. THere's no 100% method, but these should at least scew the odds a bit.

Female sperm swim slower and live longer (after ejaculation).....so they take longer to get there, while conserving energy as they pass all the dead male sperm on their way.............. male sperm swim faster and use up all their energy darting past all the female sperm, but die sooner....which is one of the reasons that boys are concieved more than girls.......they get to an egg first if they don't die along the way!

Stand up and walk around after he cums in you. Make it harder for the male sperm to swim upstream! LOL!

And......IAKG said it best.........to prepare your body for pregnancy in 2005......start taking folic acid NOW! Find out the proper dosage and begin as soon as possible. Also CP.....you should see a doctor for a physical and instructions on the care of your body in preparation for pregnancy.

But first and foremost.......are you really ready for a child CP? It's truly none of my business, but from some of your recent threads it seems that you and your S/O might want to work on making your relationship the best it can be....with no lingering issues......before you bring a child into your life. Not that having a baby wouldn't make you happy but........ if you want a child because you think it will make the relationship better it might backfire if that's the ONLY reason you want a baby. It could bring about the exact opposite result than what you expect and hope for.

Please think this through and take my best wishes with you..........whatever you decide! And don't forget.......folic acid!

i would suggest abstinance from drugs, alchol etc before pregnancy.

also no diets

I'm the mother of boys. Mine are now 8 yrs old and 12yrs. old and I love it. Having boys has been such a blast. We have the greatest times together.

Of course this means that my house is always full of boys. I always have a few that aren't mine hanging around, and every week-end I have a least 1-2 of their friends sleeping over.

But back to the question at hand.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE being the mother of boys.

I know you will love and cherish whatever you get when the time comes. As soon as you hold that little bundle in your arms, it's love at first sight. Ya' just can't help yourself !!!!!

just relax.depending your current type of birth control. if pills you should use condoms for the first month following coming off the pill to get your bodys hormaone levels normalized. most couples about 60% will be pregnant within 3 monts.and another 20-25% will be by 6 months. but beforehand get in shape and take care of yourself
