Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hey Archie and Priya I will be 32 in Oct 22. I already have girl she will be 2 in July. I will be trying for 2nd baby but I need find out if the chinse birth chart work. I'm hoping that I will have boy. But I need to know if this really work.
Thanks archie replied. Dear Dia,
Chinese calender is only to play game and to reply much as it has been mixed with reference to it's prediction. Some are satisfied and some found it opposite.
When I checked the chinese calender it told I am having baby girl but I delivered boy.

I think for any parents what should matter is a healthy baby. Choosing baby sex is something I don't like to favor or suggest on, no offence.

Archie Supriya replied. Hi Dia,
Aoout selectiong the sx of the baby, there is lots of literature availabe on net. Shettles's method is supposed to work in most cases. If you want to have a boy, do intercourse only a day before or after ovulation as boy sperms travel fast and chances of meeting them with egg are higher of you sx on the day of ovulation or a day before and after.
To locate your day of ovulation. you can use Ovulation kits available in any medical store or supermarket. When the test come positive you can have sex and go on for 2-3 days after that.
Also, eat foods which are alkaline in nature. Avoid acidic foods. Deep peneteration also helps boy sperms to reach to egg quicker.
Also, don't abstain from sex for too long. Most women tend to ovulate after 10 days of their period cycle. Like If your last period was on 1st , you will start ovulating from 10th onwards. It may be a day or two early or late depending your cycle length. So You can make sure your man ejaculates, either have sex using condom or somehow don't let him ejaculate inside. But start having sex as soon as your ovulation test comes positive.
Hope this helps. Actually it has helped many of my friends and relatives to have a boy.
But afterall its all God's wish. So just pray. And remember, a healthy baby is most important!! So take care and let us know if it worked!

I am pritha, I had a baby boy in September 04. Since then I am a regular reader of this site. It helped me a lot during my pregnancy.
Chinese calendars are only a guess and may be they work sometimes. But i know my sister and 2 friends tried this calander. It was true for my sister (calander predicted boy and she had boy), but for my 2 friends it was opposite. One of them was having a girl and the calendar said boy. Other one had Boy while the calendar said girl!!
So its not always true. Anyways, there are only 2 options so the probability of having either boy or girl is 50-50 and therefore sometimes chinese calendars are right!(Its just as good as any any guess!)
I wish you have a boy as you desire but you should pray for a healthy baby no matter if its a boy or a girl..
There are some old wives tale salso according to shape/size of the belly, food cravings but they are also guesses and may not be true always..
If you are really curious to know the sex of the baby, you can ask your gyne for ultrasound. In US they tell the sx if you want to know.
Hope this helps..
