I`ve heard more about timing, rather than positioning. I first heard about it from my mom, actually, pertaining to me. It worked for my parents when they tried for a girl, after having my two older brothers. :-) Hus. and I didn`t try specifically for either gender, but based on conception we figured girl, and got a girl.

Well, we tried for a boy based on the life span of the boy sperm.

kadesmomma-Well the chinese calendar is only correct 50% of the time, according to this website I read and other women I talked to who said it was totally wrong for them. I`ve read online (actual medical studies not just gender prediction websites) and asked my doctor out of curiosity and both said its pretty difficult to do, but the closest to accurate is what hannahe said. Supposedly, the sperm carrying boy genes swim on up there faster, but also die faster, so to have sex as close as possible to ovulation if trying for a boy, and girls are a little bit slower, but live longer so to try a few days before ovulation for a girl. Hey, even girl sperm live longer than men, just like women live longer than men, what a coincidence! ;) oh and btw, I`ve heard that other docs have told women this too, so I`m pretty sure professionals find it true, BUT I haven`t actually talked to any moms / pregnant women about if it was true for them. I know what day I ovulated the month I conceived, but I got lucky with the SO quite a few times in those 3 or 4 days so I can`t tell ya which time it was that made me preggo.

I wanted to but got pregnant on B/C before we could

i guess basically it says that if you know your ovulation timing if you have sex up to 3 days before you ovulate then stop you should have a girl cuz the girl sperm live longer whereas boy sperms are faster so they increase the chance of a boy if you have sex close to your ovulation date....supposedly

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
