Is there really a way to concieve a boy?

[Ahryin]

For years I have heard stories that you can use certain positions or eat certain food, or if the woman does all the work you will make a boy...so whats the deal? Have you heard any stories? Is it true? Basically what am I doing wrong! I'm a girl maker! LOL

It's not up to you at all honey! You could stand on your head and eat all the red meat you want and it won't change anything. The gender of you baby is decided even before conception, and you're not the girl maker, the father of you children is. Each sperm is pre-programed with the genetic code to either be a boy, or a girl. And there is nothing he can do either to up the amount of pre-programed boy swimmers. It's a -shoot which sperm gets to the egg first.

I've heard some stuff about ph/acidity but you know for every family of girls there is a family of boys. Just Love what you have.

lol - there's nothing but boys in this family, minus me of course.

I've heard all the tales, blah blah, but honestly, it's just luck of the draw and genetics.

My favourite, was that a woman had to sleep on her left hand side.

Off course, if you think about it, that makes it easy for the man to pull you over by the waist and enter... perhaps it's a boy thing?

Well there might be one way to make your luck a little better...but I just HEARD of this and never actually done it nor have I heard of anyone successfully doing it.

Male sperm are faster but live shorter lives and female sperm are slower but live longer. Calculate the day you will ovulate. Don't have any sex until the day you ovulate so when the egg comes out the boys will reach it first...

But don't take my word for this!!! I just heard it that's all.

[Ahryin]

don't you ovulate for three days?

I think anything you hear or read will be an old wives tail. It's not possible for you to do things to make you have a boy!
