concive a girl

[parkerwayne]

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to concive a girl?

I read that male sperm are stronger and swim faster than female sperm, but the female sperm live longer therefore (in theory) if you have sex the day before or the day of ovulation the male sperm will reach and fertilise the egg first hence a male baby. For girls you should have sex a few days before ovulation, the idea being the male sperm will have died off but the female sperm will still be hanging around and will be able to fertilise the egg.

get an electron microscope, a sample of the sperm & kill every one of them with a Y-chromosome. then, somehow, use one of the remainder to fertilise an ovum

good luck with that, mate.

though i know why you want a girl, we're simply better than boys

They can be separated by centrifugation. This is sometimes used to allow a couple with a hereditaty desease such as muscular dystrophy form passising it on to a son (boy only as is passive gene on Y choromosome in men). If there is a medical reason for wanting a girl speak to your GP.

it's alittle supertitious but if you put a frying pan underneath your mattress while having sex you should get a daughter! But put a knife underneath if you want a boy.

Here's a link concerning the woman's diet and gender selection: http://sheknows.com/about/look/3545.htm I must admit I would be sceptical but it makes at least as much sense as the placing of kitchen utensils under the mattress! (No disrespect to the previous poster)

This is from Hello! Magazine of 19 Aug 2003. While that scenario is currently science-based, a growing number of parents-to-be are turning to alternative methods in an attempt to influence the gender of their yet-to-be-conceived babies.
Most of the more common sex selection methods rely on mothers-to-be understanding their ovulation cycle, which is now easily done with a predictor kit bought from a chemist, or by charting body temperature throughout the month.
Once you know when you ovulate, you can try to conceive at specific times in your cycle depending on whether you�d like a boy or a girl, as conditions in the womb are though to be more or less favourable to X or Y chromosome sperm depending on the time of the month.
The reasons for this are not clear but it�s thought that male Y chromosome sperm move more quickly but don�t live as long as the female X chromosome sperm.  This, combined with the conditions in the womb, which vary during the month, means you should be able to shift the odds in favour of having either a boy or a girl.
With all this in mind, it�s thought that if you conceive around two to four days before ovulation you�re more likely to conceive a boy, and if you conceive two to four days after ovulation you�re more likely to have a girl.
A second method of sex selection involves trying to change the conditions in the womb through diet.  This theory is based on the idea that certain mineral salts can affect the way an egg is fertilised.  A diet rich in calcium and magnesium is thought to be required if you want a girl, and one rich in potassium if you want a boy.  The simple way to do this is to drink lots of milk if you want to have a girl and avoid it if you want a boy.

(final part). Finally, the acidity of the woman�s body may also affect the survival of sperm.  An acid environment is supposedly encouraging for X girl sperm and an alkaline environment for Y boy sperm.  Some women help influence this by douching with a pint of cooled, boiled water 15 minutes before sex � either with a tablespoon of lemon juice mixed in if they�re hoping for a girl or with 5g of bicarbonate of soda for a boy.
While none of these alternative methods has been scientifically proved to influence gender, many who�ve tried them believe them to be effective.  The goods news is they can�t hurt � and you can have fun trying.

have been told that it depends on whome orgasams 1st ie if male first usually boy however if female first a girl this is due to the acidety/alcaline of the fluids!!!!!!!!!!!! hense the saying it takes a man to produce a girl!!!!!!!!!
