Boy or girl - nature or manmade

[MMM]

A friend tried those ovulation chart and went on to conceive another girl. So I don’t believe in that. Another said her mum has some special recipe that it’s irreversible and the person who takes that will have sons. But I heard that she went on to have another daughter.


I think it’s an act of god (whatever god you believe in).

For me… I believe in auspicious year for the couple. Was told by some gao ren that if I conceive in a year that is auspicious for my hubby and my chinese horoscope, I would get a son. Tried that and true enough.

Was also told that it’s fated that I would have kids of alternate sex. Eg. girl, boy, girl, boy… The 1st 3 are correct but I am stopping at 3.

You mean some are twins? How to have 13 in 12 years?[/quote]no twins, some born at beginning of the year and the next at end of year

[verykiasu2010]

whether boy or girl, it all depends on the man lah


BTW, where to get the old poster of "boy or girl, two is enough" ?

In all honesty, I wouldn't want to toy with this.

I will just gladly receive and be appreciative of what Mother Nature grants me

Agree.

I specifically told my gynae/ob not to reveal the sex of the baby during all the scans when pregnant with DS.

Ditto if I have more kids in future.

:celebrate:

Ditto :hi5:

I had an amnio.
Told DH to let me know if the results are fine but not to let me know if it was XX or XY.
Only DH knew what we were going to have.
No one else did.
I met DD for the first time last Oct.

But boy, when I laid my eyes on her :love:

Used to know someone who wanted a boy so badly that he ended up having 13 girls in 12 years

My uni friend is the youngest of 11 brothers, no girl luck for his parents. His older brothers are all 1.8m and above in height and fair of face. He is the shortest at 1.6m and has dark skin.

I quote him verbatim: \"When my parents had my brothers, it was BANG! BANG! BANG! from my father; But when they had me at the end, it was b-a-n---------g... from my father; I got the remnants of our genetic pool.\"

My Mummy is the youngest of 15.
My uncle is the oldest and the rest of his younger siblings are all girls.

So go figure

I can attest to that... My kids are only 11 months apart. My eldest is a year end baby, otherwise they could have been born in the same year.

I read that doing it nearer to ovulation will have higher chance of conceiving a boy. So besides her prediction, I also followed this method. So far it seems to work.

When I looked back at the timing that my boys are conceived, I also agree with u. I also read this somewhere that the sperm (can't remember x or y) that leads to a boy can only survive for a day whilst the sperm that leads to a girl can survive for up to 3 days or so. That explained why this method leads to a boy. My kids are boy, girl, boy and girl. The girls are \"surprises\"....
