I have a son, can't tell you the recipe outside of the norm, lol. Anywho, just wanted to say that I just turned 39 and this is my fourth child. Oh, one more thing, there is 18 years diffference between my third and fourth child. I will have to say that it is not "impossible" but from what I have researched over the years it can take a little longer for some than if you were 20 as our eggs age also. It was a year and a half of  unprotected BDing and he had a low sperm count. Good Luck!!

Hi,
I was 41 when I fell pregnant.  I conceived in a hot spa pool which was 39C
it was  also full of chlorine, plus it was the only time we had sex that month!!!
I think due to the fact that the hot water was relaxing it is the reason we had an unexprected perfect little boy Billy Joseph 8 1/2 months later.

Unfortunately the different timings and positions for gender are all old wives' tales. There isn't really anything that can conceive a boy or a girl. The suggestions may be ways to improve the odds, however specific gender selection is not a guarantee. Best wishes for conceiving, and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy and baby.

I have 3 boys and a daughter. All conceived with the same position. Just try for a healthy baby...that is all that matters anyway.

I know, its taken me awhile to figure them out as well.  BD stands for "babydance".

I read once that babies boys are more often conceived when sex is done "doggy style" (rear entry) It puts the boy sperm where they need to be (closer) to get to the egg first.
I know it could be just conincidence, but two of my boys WERE conceived doggy style, and all my girls (4) were missionary style.

You can definately conceive after 36....hence the need for this forum.  I am 39 and ttc right now.  As for baby boy, I have read the same thing as the other two who posted, but not sure if I really buy it.  I guess its worth a try though.  Good luck to you!!

As long as you're ovulating/having regular cycles, you can get pregnant at really any age until menopause in theory.  Most women on this forum are 35+ and are pregnant.  I too read the same theory about how to conceive baby boys but I have no idea on how accurate it is.
