Remember that sperm only lives for up to 5 days... so you can only be sure which little guys actually won the race if you have sex with greater than 5 days in between bedding. Like if you tend to bed every other day while trying,(which most couples do) then it is a 50-50 chance, but if you only bed once a week and are absolutely sure on the exact day you O'd then you can determine which ones likely won. It is definitely a game of timing.
I have heard of this methode and tried it before, I have 3 boys, lol. This last time around I ovulated on thanksgiving and BD that night and now we are having a girl:) So yes I think the therory that boy sperm are faster and girl sperm are slower may be right, I guess it also depends on the sperm, my little girl beat all the boys to the finish line (finally) LOL:)
The Chinese calendar told me I was having a boy. My daughter would strongly disagree!
Also once ur pregnant you can use a Chinese Calendar to see what ur having. I think it has about an 80% accuracy rate. My Aunt swears by it.
I heard of this as well but hey we just wanted to try for baby # 2 so whatever God gives us would work. :D However my husband really wants a boy (of course).
It would definitely be interesting to know if you end up with a girl!....my girlfriend got both her girls this way. there's books out there written about it. Of course it's not 100% fail proof, but in theory that's the way it's suppose to work
Hmm, interesting. I had no idea there was an actual science behind this. With this baby, based on what ultrasound is showing and counting backwards, I probably ovulated on the friday or saturday. DH and I bd'ed the tuesday and wedensday only. So chances are I am having a girl then....I don't really care which, but I do think all the little girl clothes are cute!! I actually have a strong feeling I am having a girl. And my understanding is that the heartbeat at 9 weeks was on the high side of normal, and some think that is an indicator of a girl. Will be interesting to see what happens...
