Is it possible that the tricks to concieve a girl/boy actually work? Has anyone tried them and had what they were trying for??

Honestly I'm not really sure...with both the boys we werent technically *trying* but I guessed when I ovulated and we did it those days and we got boys...with the baby girl we lossed we did it 2 days before O and the day of O...soo...I dunno...we did the same thing this cycle (unless I O today)...

But we are gonna DTD again tonight I'm sure...DH is gonna be drinkin at game night...

I DTD right on O day and I believe that Quinn was a boy. Just an instinct that wouldn't go away, of course, there's no way to prove that now!

I too wonder if those methods actually work!

We did all the tricks with both my daughter and son and it worked out perfectly for us. Who's to say though, that the tricks meant anything, but it was sure fun trying and we got lucky!
