    I love it that people are so confident that they'll get pregnant as soon as they start trying.

    Who said that? Our first took 8 months.
    I hear that the second is usually faster.

    I really want a boy the second time around and we want to start now but the calander says it will be a girl unless we wait a month. I usually don't believe in this stuff but friends have said its pretty right on.

    Your thoughts?

    Probably because half the time it happens by accident.

    I am one of 7. I have a twin brother, but other than that we are all girls. I'm pretty sure that by at least the 4th, 5th, and 6th ones there were some pretty extravagant promises to God being made- and my mother talks about drinking some nasty teas to get a boy. I'd bet by the 7th one they consulted something moon-based.

    As my mother says to my father whenever they lament over having 6 girls... "It's all your fault."
    Kind of it is. ;)

    One thing I've heard is this: there was a study recently where women eating sugary cereal for breakfast when they conceived were much more likely to make a boy. They hadn't figured out *why* yet, but the numbers were high enough to warrant further research.

    Also, my husband told me that doggy style is supposed to make a boy, lol. I totally thought he was just bullshitting me, but then he found proof on the web. :D

    I heard eating a lot of Chipotle helps in having a girl

    :p

    My wife has checked about 10 different people we know and the Chinese calendar was dead on

    Your thoughts?

    Even if you don't use the Chinese Calendar, you always need to have a WANG involved in the process!

    I thought this said colander! :D You know, to drain off the excess or something. :eek:

    The colander is as equally effective and ensures the same level of accuracy as the calendar!!!!

    aw, I think this is nice you want to have another baby.
    I have never heard of the 'Chinese calendar," I don't mean to sound airheaded but where do you find one? Do they pass them out for free with your Chinese food?
    Seriously though, where did you get one from?

    It was accurate for both of my children. I can't remember where I read it, but I believe some studies have suggested it's accuracy is in the 70% range.
