Help me out here - I am sure I read something that keeps the faith alive that if a Dh has made 6 baby boys and no girls that it's still possible to have a little girl. Gf and I are having a discussion.
I know that there must be hope, and a theory supporting all the changes us mamas make to get a girl....

I know that men do make xy and xx but I recently did ivf and my gender spilt was only 1xx and 9 xy and the ivf dr said its possible my husband does make more xy... my ivf failed and now I sm moving on to a sway tho I dont have much confidence at ALL
Oh man.... I wish we could all have our men checked... Just knowing...

Well I have not seen many ivf ladies have the gender spilt mine had.... some ladies have 3 ir 4 boys and do ivf and end up with an even gender split im just unlucky in that respect I guess
It is still possible. After our six boys with swaying we did conceive a girl (and another boy). Although we have just found out we have lost her, we still had her for that short time so it is indeed possible. x
I saw your post - I'm so incredibly sorry mama :( do you have a name for her?Quote:

Men make sperm 50/50. Most of swaying involves the mother- not all but most.
IVF is 100% unnatural so I wouldn't compare those results to natural conception.
My Dp has 6 sons to 3 different Women. I wonder if he is just more attracted to Women who are more likely to have sons (and he loves having them too!) I totally believe it is possible and really believe in swaying. However since the next will be our last I do not want to take any chances so HT it is. I wish I could try swaying and am a bit bummed. I would if we had two boys instead of three but 4 kids is my absolute limit
Thank you. Yes, her name is Shaylah Anne. :broken:Quote:

Women have XX chromosomes. Men have XY chromosomes. Sex cells (eggs in women and sperm in men) have half the number of chromosomes of a normal human cell so that when they come together the resulting baby has the correct number again.
Essentially all eggs are 'female' (x chromosome) whereas sperm is 50% 'female' (x chromosome) and 50% 'male' (Y chromosome); this is because the XY cells from the man splits (2 cells from 1, each containing half the genetic material of the original copy) by a special process called meiosis which is how sex cells (sperm in men, eggs in women) form.
Therefore all men are capable of fathering girls as Gender is down to the sperm that fertilises the egg; if an 'x' gets there first you get a girl (xx chromosomes) and if a 'y' gets there first the resulting embryo will be male (XY chromosomes). Therefore by rules of averages you have a 50% chance of having a girl (or boy) with each pregnancy.
That is the good news. HOWEVER as with all biological processes it is not quite as cut and dried as all that and there could be other factors at work; as PP mentioned, including the women's internal environment and condition (which we try to chAnge by swaying), it could be possible (for unknown reasons) that the man's Y sperm are just a little bit 'better' than the X he produces (?) ( eg hardier/ faster/ stronger etc - something like this *could* be at work in pinkin's case with her HT gender split as the lab techs choose the 'best looking' sperm from the mix without knowing whether it is Y or X, however having sain that also bear in mind that they are picking maybe 15 from thousands of possible so that in itself is bound to scew the 'natural' gender split) and remember that the least, and probably most important factor, is good old 'lady luck' and no one can control her! ;) my beautiful ds2 proves that ;)
Good luck Hun x
