With my last pregnancy I had a feeling that it was a girl.
This time, I have a feeling that it’s a boy.
If I did ovulate on the 1/14 as Fertility Friend says, our chances of conceiving a boy are slim according to the Shettles Method.
However, I just have this feeling that I’m carrying a boy. And they say that a mother just knows during her first trimester.
Even the Chinese gender chart agrees with me. When I first used it I was surprised to see that it predicted a girl…then I read that I need to use my lunar age, which is one year older than my western age.

Matching January and 30, you’ll see a boy!
I also found this site which allows you to input not only the exact month and date, but the time zone as well (which I personally think is more accurate because I was born in Korea) — and I get a boy!
Both J and I prefer a boy. I think I may be the only woman I know who didn’t want girls — they are generally more high maintenance and I’ve always gotten along better with men than women.
There’s also the fact that J’s parents, having traditional Chinese values, want a boy as well.
All this being said, I would still be elated to have a girl. At this point, having a happy, healthy baby is what I want most in the world.
