We are thinking about having another child; big step for me we have a 3 year old girl. My husband was not around alot when she was born and is getting better at being a dad. So in that case I want a healthy baby no matter what but I really want a boy. My whole life I have dreamed of having a little boy. SO I am looking for tips on how to conceive a boy. I will love it boy or girl but it would be fun to try for a boy and I know some people have done crazy things for boy or girl so would like some feedback!

What can I do next?

I agree with Rebecca - consult the Chinese conception chart. It predicted that my first two babies would be girls, and I chose which month to get pregnant the last time because I wanted a boy. It worked great - I got my boy the third time! (I just google chinese conception chart, and that's how I've found it in the past.) Good luck!

I have a chinese chart that is 99.9% accurate for prediction of the sex of the baby. It has worked for everyone I know w/ one exception of my cousin and I still don't know why it hasn't worked. I used it to make sure I got a girl. It is based on your age and the month you conceive e-mail me here and I'll forward you a copy.

With me it was just the opposite as you. I really wanted a girl all my life. I had three sons and decided to try one more time for a girl. I used to work with women from China, they said with two of my pregnancies that they could tell I was having a boy, based on what I was eating. In their culture they believe if you crave sweet and/or salty, you will have a boy. If you crave more healthy things, like lots of veggies, you will get a girl, absolultely no sweets. So prior to getting pregnant with my daughter, I decided to completely detoxify (I think I still have the recipe if you want it) and cleanse the inside of my body, get all the sweets/salty snacks out. It was very hard for me cuz I LOVE that stuff and was so challenging for me to eat healthy. I have compared other pregnancies, and found it to be true. My cousin is a huge sweet person too, she had three boys. My sister n law, is a health nut and got three girls. And there are many more too that I've compard. So either this really does work, or else it is a huge coincidence. I also tried the Chinese chart with my 3rd son too, so that didn't work for me either.
When I had my first ultrasound with my daughter and they said it's a girl, I immmediately started crying! They were tears of joy. The tech thought I was crying cuz I was disappointed with the sex. I was just ecstatic and overwhelmed with emotion.
I would like to hear from other moms if what you craved reflected the sex of the baby this way. Curiosity has gotten the best of me!

With me it did not matter what I did, I am going to have 2 boys. I have one that is 1 and one on the way. I think that it all depends on each girls body and how it is. We think that no matter what we did to get a girl, we still got a boy the second time around because my body killed all of the girl sperms and let all of the boy ones go. I hope that when you get pregnant that you get your boy. :) They are loads of fun! :)

Are you definitely ready for another child, boy or girl? Your message sounds unsure. Whatever you decide or comes your way, there are advantages to having two of the same gender. I have two boys and appreciate the benefits to having two of the same sex. Best wishes.

I wanted a girl the first time and then a boy the second time. I just looked up on the internet what to do. I timed intercourse based on my ovulation as Angela said the book she has suggests. I may have just been lucky, but I was two for two in determining the gender of my children.
