Chance of having a son increase

8 replies

saskia79
My title says it all... we are blessed with two healthy daughters, but both my partner and I would really like to become parents to a son as well.
I've read that lifestyle changes can influence the sex of the unborn baby. Despite my doubts, I'm curious about your experiences or tips on how to increase the chances of having a boy?
Anyone have experience? Following a special diet? Vaginal douches? Or other tips? Please share with me!

    I don't think you can actually increase the chances in real life like in The Sims. You always have a 50/50 chance of having a boy or a girl.

    Google the Chinese gender calendar. It worked out for both my kids. You take your age and then you can see in which months you have more chance of having a boy. For those who want to see if it matches their kids. You have to take your age at the moment you got pregnant. So not your current age and your delivery month. Pretty funny and it worked for us as well as for more people in my circle. Of course, you don't take it too seriously.

    I believe boys' sperm are faster, so having sex close to ovulation increases the chances, I think. Just do a quick Google search.
    But it still remains 50/50.

    The Chinese calendar didn't work for me; according to it, I was supposed to have a girl, but it turned out to be a boy.

    I think you'll have a boy if you have sex while standing on your hands!

    Saskia 79, how are you doing now? Are you pregnant by now and do you know what it is?
