As the mother of three boys, I constantly have people asking me how to get pregnant with a boy. The gender of our children wasn’t the result of any personal scheme or design, but I HAVE learned a lot about conception and timing over the years! I’ve helped several friends successfully figure out how to get pregnant with a boy after back-to-back girls, and their learnings can be applied to any couple. The fact is, scientifically, male sperm is faster but generally has less stamina than female sperm.
If you follow me over on BabyZone, you’ve seen that Nate and I have tried a whole host of weird things to get pregnant with a third child. At home fertility treatment options range from the awkward (charting) to the questionable (cough syrup) to the downright gross (cod liver oil).
After having three kids within four years, people seem to think that Nate and I are experts in the delicate art of conception. We wanted our kids back-to-back-to-back, having seen the bond that close sibling spacing developed with Nate and his own "Irish twin" brother. But trying to conceive (or "TTC" as it’s referred to on numerous forums and online baby boards) can be surprisingly difficult. Even with today’s medical technology, pregnancy is surprisingly elusive for many couples.
