Re: Book to try for a certain sex?
I know there are things you can try to do to gender sway. I've looked into gender swaying for a girl but since we aren't "trying" yet I haven't gotten that much information, just a few things I've read on the web.
I don't see the harm in at all - other people seem to  at the idea of gender swaying but to me it's harmless and if it works it works and if not, no harm done.
I'm interested to see if anyone recommends a book. I'm sure if you google gender swaying you'll find links with info and book recommendations.
Good luck!

I was just looking on Amazon for some books and I came across this one: How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby by Dr. Shettles - it looks like there are two versions and one is updated. From the reviews it seemed like it worked for a lot of people and it is based on scientific evidence (I think it has a lot to do with charting cycles)
I saw some others but this is the first one I saw with some good reviews

Check out ingender.com. It's actually insane the lengths people go to. The forums actually make me angry, some of these people have such strong feelings and gender disappointment.

Re: Book to try for a certain sex?
choosing the sex of your baby is the big one.
it has a chapter specifically for trying for boys and then for girls.
but theres lots of info on what you have to do before you try... i.e. charting, temping, etc.

Re: Book to try for a certain sex?
I didn't mean to imply anyone on here was wrong at all, it's just if you read some of these posts on the in gender forum they discuss abortion just b/c of gender. It makes me so angry.
Anyway, here are some methods from the site:
http://www.in-gender.com/Gender-Selection/Natural.aspx
Shettles for a Boy:
How to Conceive a Boy - Shettles Method
Timing intercourse: Have intercourse the day of ovulation.
* Timing intercourse correctly is the most important factor.
Learn to detect when you ovulate and practice until you're sure you understand your body's signals that ovulation is approaching.
* The ideal time for intercourse is 12 hours before ovulation.
* Have intercourse only once on the day of ovulation.
* If you are tracking ovulation by the BBT method, time intercourse for the day of the "dip" in temperature before the BBT rise.
* If you are tracking ovulation by the CM method, time intercourse as close as possible to the shift from peak mucus back to thicker, cloudier mucus.
Why is this important?
* Conditions for conception are ideal on the day of ovulation, favoring the faster Y-sperm. The egg is released at ovulation and is waiting for the sperm, so the sperm don't use up their short lives waiting for the egg to show up. Also, the environment of the vagina becomes more hospitable to sperm at ovulation; the cervical fluid increases and becomes more slippery, making it easier for the sperm to swim, and also becomes more alkaline, helping the sperm to survive.
Abstinence: The father must not ejaculate during the 4 - 5 days before ovulation.
* Intercourse and ejaculation are okay up until 4 to 5 days before ovulation, but after that point the father must avoid any ejaculation until the day of ovulation.
* Always use a condom when you have intercourse, both before and after ovulation, to prevent the possibility of conceiving on days when it is more likely to have girl. (Except, of course, during your one attempt on the day of ovulation.)
* Avoiding ejaculation allows a higher sperm count to build up. Dr. Shettles associated a higher sperm count with more male offspring.
Scrotal temperature: The father should "keep it cool".
* The father should make sure to avoid excessive heat around the scrotum, which can be caused by tight, hot clothing, or an overly hot workplace.
* Choose boxers. Even close-fitting underwear can make the scrotum too warm by holding it too closely against the body.
* No saunas, hot tubs, or scuba diving.
* Bicycling has been linked to impotence and reduced sperm count, so while you are actively trying to conceive you may want to choose another sport.
* The optimum temperature for sperm production is a little lower than body temperature, which is why a man's sperm factory is housed in a handy bag just outside the body -- the scrotum. If the temperature is too warm, sperm count for both X and Y sperm will be reduced, but the more fragile Y-sperm will perish first.
Sperm count: The father should avoid other causes of reduced sperm count.
* Illness can temporarily reduce sperm count, so if the father is sick you may want to delay your attempt until the following cycle.
* Smoking, drug and alcohol use, and exposure to toxic chemicals, can all reduce sperm count.
* Emotional stress is associated with lower sperm counts. You may want to check into relaxation techniques.
* Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are lifestyle changes that can improve sperm count.
* Lack of certain vitamins and minerals can lower sperm count. You may want to try a nutritional supplement for enhancing male fertility.
* If you're worried that you may have a low sperm count, you can use an at-home semen analysis kit to check your sperm concentration.
* Any form of stress, not just heat, can affect sperm production and lower sperm count.
Diet: The father may have some caffeine just before intercourse.
* The father can have a couple of cups of coffee (or other caffeinated drink) fifteen minutes to half an hour before intercourse.
* Dr. Shettles believed the caffeine would give both types of sperm a boost, but that Y-sperm would get a little more of a boost.
Female ******: Have one!
* The woman should try to have an ****** during intercourse, ideally just before the man's. (If you don't, though, don't get too hung up about it.)
* Female ****** causes the cervical fluid to become even more plentiful and alkaline, and thus more hospitable to the sperm, which would again favor the faster swimming Y-sperm.
Vaginal environment: Try to make the vagina as alkaline as possible.
* Douching: Dr. Shettles originally recommended enhancing the vagina's alkalinity with a baking soda douche, but in his book's latest edition, he recommends douching only for women who are very acidic, and under the advice of a doctor. Please consult your doctor before using a douche. If you do decide to douche, here is how to prepare a baking soda douche:
o Use 2 tablespoons of baking soda in warm (not hot) mineral or filtered water.
o Wash your hands and mix thoroughly in a clean glass.
o Cover glass with a napkin, and wait 10 minutes to allow to completely dissolve.
o Most drugstores have reusable douche kits available. You may also be able to buy an inexpensive disposable douche (with a removable top), and pour out the original contents. Since most douches are acidic, rinse very thoroughly.
Douching is linked to vaginal infections, and associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy, and infertility. Consult your doctor before using a douche.
* Dietary supplements: Although not mentioned by Dr. Shettles, many women also try the gender diet, dietary supplements, and eating alkalizing foods.

Re: Book to try for a certain sex?
Shettles for a Girl:
Timing intercourse: Have intercourse 2 to 4 days before ovulation.
* Timing intercourse correctly is the most important factor.
Learn to detect when you ovulate and practice until you're sure you understand your body's signals that ovulation is approaching. You will probably need to track ovulation for several cycles to be able to accurately predict ovulation several days in advance. Timing for a girl can be tricky, because intercourse too early won't cause pregnancy; but intercourse too close to ovulation is more likely to cause a boy.
* Be sure to avoid intercourse on the day of your peak CM (a method for detecting ovulation).
Why is this important?
* Because many of the sperm will use up their short lives waiting for the egg to arrive, this should give the typically longer-lived X-sperm an advantage. Also, the cervical fluid in the vagina is less hospitable to sperm prior to ovulation, because it is scant, sticky, and more acidic. All of these conditions are unfavorable for both kinds of sperm, but since X-sperm are more resilient, the Y-sperm should perish first and make it more likely to conceive a girl.
Have intercourse often, right up until the "cutoff" of 2 to 4 days before ovulation.
* After the last day of your period, have intercourse frequently, up until 2 to 4 days before you suspect you will ovulate.
* Do not have intercourse again until 2 or 3 days after ovulation has occurred. Intercourse with a condom is okay after this point.
* During practice cycles, use condoms only. Other forms of birth control can disguise the fertility signals you are trying to track to accurately detect ovulation.
* Frequent ejaculation naturally lowers sperm count, which Dr. Shettles believed would favor conceving a girl. Note: Shettles did NOT recommend artificially trying to lower sperm count by "reversing" the boy method, because it could result in lowering male fertility.
Diet: The mother should avoid caffeine.
* Dr. Shettles reported that caffeine could be detrimental to female fertility.
Sexual position: Shallow penetration using the missionary position.
* Use the face-to-face position, with the man on top.
* Shallow penetration will cause the sperm to be deposited further from the cervix (the entrance to the uterus). The sperm then must traverse more of the vagina, where the X-sperm's staying power should win out.
Female ******: Avoid it. 
* The woman should try not to have an ****** during intercourse.
* Female ****** causes the cervical fluid to become even more plentiful and alkaline, and thus more hospitable to the sperm, which would favor the faster swimming Y-sperm.
Vaginal environment: Try to make the vagina as acidic as possible.
* Douching: Dr. Shettles originally recommended enhancing the vagina's alkalinity with a vinegar douche, but in his book's latest edition, he recommends douching only under the advice of a doctor. Please consult your doctor before using a douche.
If you do decide to douche, most drugstores sell inexpensive, premade disposable vinegar douches. Use the douche about 15 minutes before intercourse.
Douching is linked to vaginal infections, and associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy, and infertility. Consult your doctor before using a douche.
* Dietary supplements: Although not mentioned by Dr. Shettles, many women also try the gender diet, dietary supplements, and eating acidifying foods.

Re: Book to try for a certain sex?
Another method for a girl:
1. The father must not ejaculate for at least 7 days before intercourse (and preferably longer).
That didn't say "no sex", it said "no ejaculation", so you better keep an eye on him in the shower. Try to get him to abstain from the first day of your cycle.
The reason for this is that since female sperm supposedly live longer, an "old" batch of sperm should have more female than male sperm (about 2% more, according to some data).
2. Have intercourse once only, 8 to 20 hours after ovulation.
Start counting the 8-20 hours when...
* Any sharp O pain has subsided.
* Your CM begins to change from EWCM to creamy or sticky.
* Your cervix begins to become less soft and high.
Wait to have intercourse until you have seen your BBT shift up. (See the tips below for more information.)
3. Do NOT have intercourse again until you are sure you are no longer fertile.
Use a condom or wait until you are sure you are no longer fertile before having intercourse again, because that "fresh" batch of sperm will be more likely to have more male sperm.
* You are past your fertile stage when you have had THREE high temperatures on your BBT chart.
4. Optional guidelines.
Along with O+12, many also try:
* The girl diet
* Supplements (calcium and magnesium, cranberry)
* Douching before intercourse with a lemon douche (mix the fresh-squeezed juice of 1/2 lemon with an equal part of water, and insert with the empty bottle from a regular store-bought douche).
ETA: Bc of the restrictions on  it seems like it could be hard to conceive at all with these methods.

Re: Book to try for a certain sex?
Not trying to cause any waves here, but I *think* one of the reasons some people at gender swaying is because there are so many people that would do ANYTHING to have ANY child - no matter the sex - that when they hear of people doing things to specifically have one or the other, it's almost a little disheartening. For so many people, the journey to holding their baby in their arms is a very long and emotional / painful one...so I think it's probably hard to sit and hear people talk about how they are trying for one over the other, when lots of people just want to have a healthy baby...
That's just my thought though! Not really sure what people's opinions are!

I totally get it !! And it breaks my heart , and I was at one time told after my 1st m/c that I couldn't have kids, my heart broke !! 3 months later I got pregnant again and she was healthy , then I went on to have another 2 girls . I would be so happy either way ,and I find it disgusting that people would actually want an abortion b/c they weren't having what they wanted ! I am trying for #4 ,and throw a few things into the mix to try for a boy, but if I have another girl I would think it would so awesome to watch my 4 girls grow together  ( I am 1 of 3 girls). I am not having another just to try for a boy, we just always wanted 3-4 kids and after having 3 we realized 4 would be even better KWIM? I definately understand where you are coming from though

Re: Book to try for a certain sex?
I was reading all the info on the site - (basically what has been copied and pasted)...and HOLY CRAP!
After talking about it with DH last night I think we'll just wing it the first time! I would love one of each gender in my lifetime (that would be my dream) so either way I would be happy but for my DH I would love to have a girl. Picturing him with a little girl (and seeing him with my neice) always makes my hear melt I know he feels a different bond with our neice than with our nephew, where I am the opposite and feel the bond with our nephew...of course we both love each to pieces!
It seems like it's a lot harder to "try" for a girl though and may even be hard to get pregnant at all - it seems VERY involved...I think we want to have fun trying, especially the first time. So maybe I will give up on trying it out
Also I think it's gross that people wouldn't want a baby just because of the sex. That is ridiculous. I totally understand gender disappointment and being initially bummed out if you were hoping for one sex over the other BUT to not love the child and not want it anymore is horrible. That I can't understand, it's sick in my opinion...

Re: Book to try for a certain sex?
I honestly don't know if any of those books will help or not? I think it's just pure luck. Before I got PG with this baby we didn't BD on the day of "O" to try to have a girl. But, with months of that and I didn't get PG. So we went back to just BD'ing for days in a row at "O" time. I am PG with a GIRL  this time but with all three kids we BD the same exact way each time w/BD on ovulation day included and I have 2 boys and now a girl. So, I would rather of got PG with a boy since BD before O only wasn't working, then not getting PG at all. It works for some, but I just think it's luck! We were both VERY shocked that I'm having a Girl since we just figured it was going to be another boy! Good luck!

Re: Book to try for a certain sex?
Here's a much simplified method: if you want a boy as close to O day as possible, like a day before. If you want a girl a few days before O.
The reasoning behind this method is that the sperm that carry the male chromosome don't live very long and swim faster. The ones carrying the femal chromosome swim slower but survive longer. Make sense?

Re: Book to try for a certain sex?
Posted by MrsDeVito
Here's a much simplified method: if you want a boy as close to O day as possible, like a day before. If you want a girl a few days before O.
The reasoning behind this method is that the sperm that carry the male chromosome don't live very long and swim faster. The ones carrying the femal chromosome swim slower but survive longer. Make sense?
I really think this method works!! We had sex 3 days before I ovulated (not knowing....I was temping and not using opk's so it was kind of a fluke) and I'm having a girl!! If you want a boy try having sex the day of ovulation!
Good luck!
