Default hello i am trying for a baby


I am trying for a baby and been told so much stuff but does not seem to be working can any one help?

This is what i got told:

If you want your baby to be a boy, should you eat more red meat? To get a girl, should you treat yourself to chocolate? Or make love under a full moon?

If you want a boy:

Eat more meat — the redder the better.

Stick with salty snacks such as pretzels and chips.

Dads-to-be: Stock up on soda, especially cola drinks.

If you want a girl:

Both partners should eat lots of fish and veggies.

Give in to your chocolate craving, or just eat sweets in general.

Do limit movement after intercourse. Standing up after intercourse can cause the semen to leak out. Try to wait twenty minutes after sex before getting up and moving around.

Don’t drink alcohol or use drugs at the time of conception. This applies to both the male and female. There is strong evidence that alcohol can effect your chances of getting pregnant.

hi! im am in the same position as you (except we dont want to try for a baby until april as ive too many children in december already) but this time we need a boy! have looked at all these this recently, ignore them! theres only a couple of things that seem truthfull and thats the scientific part really but heres some thats slightly more truthful (eg the male sperm is faster etc.... so there appears to be some truth to this!)

Ive been trying for another baby for about 5 months now and its so frustrating because I got caught with my little girl in the first month so Im not used to waiting.

I think I did the legs in the air trick actually so I will have to try that one again, I will keep you posted......Good luck everyone!

Hi, I have been off the pill now for 2 months, but only started trying one month ago.

My husband and I only realised how much we wanted a baby after I didn't come on one month and I thought I was pregnant. So when I realised I wasn't we decided to start trying!

Have packed in the ciggies and started to eat my five a day!! Hope I don't have to wait too long.

Good lock to everyone else who is trying!
