Congratulations MissFreckle! It would make sense to put the male on gender specific diets I guess seeing as they're the ones who decide the gender after all! Chinese lunar said my last three daughters were boys, lol. ]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 19:44:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38733&PID=1304256&title=gender-slection-what-have-you-done#1304256 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38733&PID=1304037&title=gender-slection-what-have-you-done#1304037 Author: miss_freckles

Chinese Lunar calendar said Boy for me...so that one was right :)

The In-Gender.com website is good for advice on the diet/supplements etc as there's some people in there that are studying this stuff 24X7... You can put your Husband/Partner on a diet too apparently...I wasn't even going to go there with my DF...haha

Ohh yay missfreckle so pleased your scan went well congrats xx

So I have made a few adjustments to my diet eg: eating lots of oily fish salmon mainly and lot's of nuts and lot's of cheese but think I am startimg to pile on the weight! ekkkk lol

Do you think supplements might me just as good?]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:09:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38733&PID=1303904&title=gender-slection-what-have-you-done#1303904 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38733&PID=1303763&title=gender-slection-what-have-you-done#1303763 Author: miss_freckles

Well for all the efforts with timing and supplements, I think it's all down to science well beyond anything we can influence. Old Wives tales are out the window too as I had mostly girl signs. We're having a BOY!!

I did the diet side including cranberry and calcium supplements. We also did the timing before OV. I researched a bit on In-gender as well. I'd say it was a half effort for us. I think so much of it comes down to timing of BD'ing :) Whether it worked - we'll find out today - it's our 20 week scan. We think it's a boy only for the fact we really want a girl and DF has two boys from a previous relationship.... He has a track record haha. It's my first though so I'm thrilled to be pregnant so either gender is great :)]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 07:27:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38733&PID=1303596&title=gender-slection-what-have-you-done#1303596 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38733&PID=1303580&title=gender-slection-what-have-you-done#1303580 Author: tictacjunkie

I tried the Dr Shettles method twice for a boy, got preg both times, but also mc'd both, last one was maybe a boy (13weeks, still hard to be sure of gender without testing which I didn't want/wasn't offered). One of my friends tried Shettles for a girl, got a 3rd boy. So don't try Shettles, lol. Think maybe my chemistry's just not right for boys anymore. Or perhaps boy DH's swimmers aren't keen. He works in a heavy chemical/hot environment, which apparently encourages daughters. ]]> Sun, 10 Apr 2011 23:18:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38733&PID=1303579&title=gender-slection-what-have-you-done#1303579 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38733&PID=1303507&title=gender-slection-what-have-you-done#1303507 Author: AandCsmum

We accidentally had a girl so can't help there but specifically tried for a boy. Sorta charted by using the ovulation calendars, you know the one where they give you green for ov. We only BD'd on those days.

You could look up the ingender forum
Sometimes the site runs really slow but people do hard out swaying there which they believe helps with getting the gender you desire.
Heaps of info to read through

We tried prior to ov for a girl. And some diet changes. We got a boy.

I think all the things you can do may help, but of course they don't guarantee. So, just don't get your hopes up too high. ]]> Sun, 10 Apr 2011 14:33:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38733&PID=1303315&title=gender-slection-what-have-you-done#1303315 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38733&PID=1303295&title=gender-slection-what-have-you-done#1303295 Author: DJ

We did the 3 days before ov thing to get our girl. Got pg first month with both of them so that wasn't an issue for us (maybe I would ahve given up after a while if it didn't happen quickly tho!). My dr reckons shes told hundreds of couples how to do it and only 1 didn't get what they wanted ... worked for us anyway.

It is funny as for my other pregnancies I never thought about it but with planning the last one & trying for 4.5yrs it hasn't happened, I think maybe I can not do the pink thing.

I guess it depends on how much time & energy you put into it & how much you believe it. I never got carried away with it.
