I too think she's wrong. I do think there are some women who's bodies only want to produce one gender due to pH or something but that's not what your MIL is saying.

I think that believing this theory shows a misunderstanding of how this whole thing works.Chat Icon

There is some (but only some) truth to her logic. You are more likely to have a third of the same gender if you have two. I have two Chat Icon Chat Icon and we really want a Chat Icon, so I am trying to figure out how to tip the odds in my favor. Here are some stats. Gender Stats

Re: Do you or anyone you know have three kids?

My sister had 2 boys then had a girl.

I have 2 girls, I'm convinced if I had a third, it would be a girl. Chat Icon

I don't think this proves her theory, but it does happen. I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to it.

Re: Do you or anyone you know have three kids?

LOL!! Your MIL is a funny lady!

DH is a Chem major and studied anatomy and physiology and all that good stuff lol it is 50/50 shot every single time, no matter how many kids you have and what genders they are. I was like are you sure?!! And my OB confirmed it lolol.

A guy that works with my brother has two boys, close in age too - only about a year apart. And now they are pregnant with twins and found out they are both girls! :)

Re: Do you or anyone you know have three kids?

I know they say 50/50 shot everytime but some families really do have more of one sex. My DH father is one of two boys, my DH is one of two boys and I'm having my third boy. MIL and I joke how I didn't have a 50/50 chance, mine is more a 90/10 chance haha. I even try to sway for a girl with last one.

My sister has Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
Friend has Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
Now three others with Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
My cousin has Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
No MC for any of them.

I also know some with four girls and some with four boys. The larger majority I seem to see is the girl girl boy. I see that more often then boy boy girl.

Re: Do you or anyone you know have three kids?

mil is one of 6. It went girl, boy, boy, girl, girl, boy. I know there were also some losses, not sure where they fell.

My mil had twin boys, then a girl.

I have two friends who had two boys, then a girl. Neither of them had any losses aware of.

My best friend had three girls in a matter of 4.5 years.

I have two boys and am convinced if I had another child, which I have no intentions of either way, that we would have another boy.

Re: Do you or anyone you know have three kids?

I actually heard recently (I forgot where) that you're 75% more likely to have a girl if you've already had 2 girls or visa versa. They said it has to do with the x or y sperm being stronger in some cases.

I'm one of three girls
Dh is one of six boys and 2 girls
My friend just had 3 boys

Re: Do you or anyone you know have three kids?

Odds are 50/50 for any birth. That's what studies say. That being said, I know so many couples that have 3 and even 4 of the same gender. So IMO the third will likely be the same if the first 2 are. I'm thinking 75% chance of being the same. I don't agree with what your Mil, but who knows who had miscarriages or not?

Re: Do you or anyone you know have three kids?

I don't know but I am one of 14 granddaughters 0 grandsons. As for great-grandchildren, all 5 are also girls. My grandmother had 4 girls and her 5th child was a boy(my uncle). He was an oopsie per my grandmother. I heard something about the pH of the vagina is genetic and can facilitate one gender over the other and that's why it can run in families. Just hearsay though, not scientific fact.

I always wonder about this. The only thing is in my family my mom had two girls. My sister had two girls. On my moms side there was 7 girl grandkids and one male. Even my dad's side had lots of girls too. I will have three boys.

Re: Do you or anyone you know have three kids?

Although I don't buy the theory, I do think that some men are more likely to have one sex or the other. My mom has her own theory that the older you are when you have kids the more likely the chance you'll have a girl.

I was the youngest grandchild on my father's side and the first and only girl in 38 grandchildren!

Re: Do you or anyone you know have three kids?

I thought I heard that you only have a 25% chance of having the opposite sex after having 2 of the same but I can't remember where I heard it so I have no idea if there's any fact to it
It does seem to be true for a bunch of people I know but obviously not all.
