Hi there,

I am a mum of 2 georgous little boys and DH and I are planning to conceive again in the near future.

Would love a little girl, so if anyone has any ideas on things that might increase my chances, I’m all ears!

Nice to be a part of this community and I hope to get to make many friends here.

Hi GypsyJude! Grin

Sadly I don't put any weight behind gender swaying - I reckon you get what you get and unless it's done in a Petri dish, there's little choice in it.

That said I've read a few theories but they contradict each other in the worst ways! One says to have sex as close to ovulation as you can because male sperm are aggressive swimmers and will beat female sperm to the egg. Another says male sperm are lazy so it's best to bonk a few days before ovulation to give them the chance to get up where they need to be! Bonkers.

Good luck!
