This is a "for fun" question. I am wondering if anyone has tried the baby boy/girl diet when trying to conceive? I am blessed with boys, lots of boys and am just wondering if anyone has had success conceiving a girl with help of this diet, or any other wives tale for that matter! I know God is the one who decides, but for fun, just humor me. Anyone tried anything with success (or not?)

Please no "be happy with what you get answers" I would be over the moon happy to even get prego again! I just want to see what others have to say on the subject of wives tales/diets/positions/ovulation timing, ect.

Thanks!

What can I do next?

If you use the ovulation calender on WebMD.com it offers suggestions if you are trying to conceive a specific sex. :) Good luck!

I know 2 people that did the "girl method" and ended up with girls...it can totally work!!!! I don't know much about the diet, although I've heard a bit about it, but mostly if you follow the "rules" about ovulation you're much more likely to get a girl. Obviously it's not fool proof, but it works! We did the boy method and got a boy, but the boy way is much easier! For girls you have to have sex a few days before you ovulate so you'll have to track your cycle for a few months to make sure you know when it happens. I forget the name of the book they read, but if you google it or go to any book store I'm sure they'll have it!

I have a boy and a girl and all I can say is that when I was "trying" to have the girl (after the boy), my husband was going to be out of town on the day I was ovulating. So, we did it when we could before he left (the day before I ovulated) and voila! Girl!

This only relates to the evidence that while boy "swimmers" are faster, girl "swimmers" can survive longer before getting to the egg.

My only advice would be rather than waiting for the day of ovulation, try the day before.

Good luck to you!!

Have sex starting about 5 days before ovulation and continue until 2 days before ovulaiton and then do NOT have sex again until after ovulation. I don't what the 'name' of this method is but I tried it. And a year ago I conceived a girl. Good luck and have fun!

I don't know what to do to swing boy or girl. But we couldn't wait to find out what it was and took one of those pee things. You pee tells you boy or girl. Lets just say the doctor got it right. Don't waste your money.

We used the tips on this web site: http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/pregnancy/pregnancy_planne... for both my pregnancies. Tried for the boy first and then the girl. Got what we wanted both times. :)

For the boy, I read that mom's diet should be high in potassium. For the girl, I think it was high in magnesium. I took the appropriate supplement both times.

I don't know about a diet but we used the book "how to choose the sex of your baby" and got the boy we wanted. We now have 4 different friends who have used it with success as well! There are guidelines to follow for either boy or girl and have very good success rates if done properly.

How I got my third boy - try everything under the sun (diet, timing, clomid, sun/moon signs, heating pad on his 'parts') to have a girl.

How I got my girl - oops with a timing and diet perfect for a boy.

So....if you're like me....try for a boy and get a girl ;)
