With my first I SWORE it was a boy...i didn't find out the sex til birth but she was a girl...i was WAY off on that one :)  with my second I really didn't have a feelgin either way and it was a boy...my third..I hoped and wished for a boy but just kept thinking theres was a strong chance it was a girl and she was.  With my last I didn't have strong feelings..I wanted a boy but I was kind of at peace ...never really thoguht about it...it was a boy...

This time, I have NO idea.  I go back and forth on it.  I still have 8 weeks before I find out (unless I do a 3d/4d) the chinese calendar, ring on a string, chin pinch, and V-thing all say boy ...my babysitters 16 yo old daughter insists it's a boy...my daughter keeps saying "it COULD be a girl" and the babysitters daughter just says "no it's a boy"
I don't really have a strong feeling either way.  My H said he has a feeling it's a boy.

From the moment I seen that +, I knew I was having a boy. I had dreams about him, even seen his face when he was about 2 years old. I was right about him being a boy, we'll see about what he looks like.

I am not sure what my instints are anymore.  They told me I am having a girl and I still feel like it is a boy.  I guess I am weird.

LOL...all you ladies that are finding out in the next few weeks you are very lucky but im sure you've been agonizing over this long enough

my instincts are saying girl and before i got my BFP i had a dream about being outside with my little girl and she was in a purple dress and everything...its odd....everything is saying girl for me...chinese charts, old wives tales, hb....everything...i still have 6 weeks to wait and ive already started a countdown to march 25

I knew I was having a boy even before I got a BFP!! It's just a strong feeling and I didn't even look at girl names or girl clothes. I had never been so sure of anything before and I was right :)

On my first I was so sick and was determined it had to be a girl. I thought there was just too many hormones making me sick to be a boy...well he was a boy.
I'm 14 weeks pregnant now and this pregnancy has been so different (sick, just not as sick) I was sure it was a girl. When I went in for the 12 week check up my doctor couldn't get the heartbeat on the doppler so he decided to do a quick ultrasound. Although we couldn't determine the sex, I'm now certain it is a boy by the position he was laying in. My first son always had his arms above his head like he was on a roller coaster and this one was laying in the same position as the first one.
I know this is no scientific conclusion, just a gut feeling. I think no one really knows, they just have a gut feeling. Hey you got a 50/50 shot...those aren't too bad of odds.

My first, all my friends and family took a poll (we kept a sheet) and everyone said girl and I put my name down on GIRL. I thought my 2nd was a boy but she is definitely not a boy! When we made a list with BOY on one side and GIRL on the other, EVERYONE put their name on BOY except my toddler. She kept pointing to the girl side and was ADAMANT about it. Needless to say SHE was right!

I always tended to go back-n-forth, too.

Something else we did at my baby shower: we made a calendar for the birth month and people put their name on a date when they thought the baby would come and then wrote AM or PM.

I wrote AM on June 4th and guess what! That's when my first baby was born! HA! I won the gift card to Macaroni Grill (an Italian restaurant).
