Boy Or Girl
Hi all,
Of course myself and my husband are hoping for a healthy baby number .
In addition as he has 2 girls from previous relationship and we have full custody as my step daugheters were secretly hoping for a Baby boy.
I have read that it can help the timing of intercouse is this correct ?
It says if you have sex before ovulation like 3-4 days chances are more stacking in your favour of having a girl but if you have sex the day before or day of ovulation the chance are your more likely to have a boy ?
It states that the X sperm ( girl ) is slower to reach the egg but lives twice as long as the Y sperm ( boy ) who are the little fast swimmers but dont last as long
can any of you lovely mammy's offer any openions on this
thanks
Jen xx

There are lots of beliefs on gender conception - if the man is a certain temperature he is more likely to produce male sperm, how often you have sex whilst fertile (if you have more frequent sex you're more likely to have a girl), what mummy eats whilst trying to fall pregnant (sweet treats for a girl, savoury for a boy), the age of mummy coupled with the time of year (chinese gender prediction)....
Sadly most of this is just theory & won't always come true in practice.
Cheers KazzieM , ill just have to be patient so lol xx
Its a load of rubbish as are the old wives tales lol I conceived on ov day, carrying like a boy, had a very boyish nub on my 12 week scan and have all the supposed boy symptoms and cravings. Was praying for a boy but we're having girl no 2. Of course a healthy baby is the main thing tho x
