 I know getting up there in numbers I won't find as many personal stories..but I'd love to hear some stories of women who had five of one gender and number six was the opposite!

I don't get how the chances are essentially 50/50, but the odds of six of one gender are very low. ?? According to this website, having six of one gender (in their study) was a 3% chance?

I don't have children yet but I can tell you how the odds are calculated by chance:

1 child:

B = 50%

G = 50%

2 children:

BB = 0.5 x 0.5 -> 25%

GB + BG = (0.5 x 0.5) + (0.5 x 0.5) -> 50%

GG =0.5 x 0.5 -> 25%

3 children:

BBB = (0.5^3) -> 12,5%

BBG + BGG + BGB + GGB + GBG + GBB = (0.5^3)x 6 -> 75%

GGG = (0.5^3) -> 12,5%

Four children:

BBBB = (0.5^4) -> 6,25%

BBBG + BBGB + BGBB + GBBB + BGGB + etc. = (0.5^4) x 14 -> 87,5 %

GGGG = (0.5^4) -> 6,25%

Five children:

BBBBB = (0.5^5) -> 3,125%

BBBBG + BBBGB + BBGBB + etc. = (0.5^5)x30 = 93,75%

GGGGG = (0.5^5) -> 3,125%

Six children:

BBBBBB = (0.5^6) -> 1,5625%

BBBBBG + BBBBGB + BBBGBB + etc. = (0.5^6) x 62 -> 96,875%

GGGGGG = (0.5^6) -> 1,5625%

Your chances of getting BBBBBG however are the same as BBBBBB – also 1,5625%

Since you already have BBBBB your chances are 50/50.

EDIT: According to this article you are a bit more likely to have a boy (maybe 58% to 42%?)

But the next one could still be your girl - I wish you the best of luck Hearts!

I sort of fit into this category. My last 3 children are triplets and the last one out was a girl. So I had 5 sons first!

Good luck to you, it can happen!

A lady from my church had 5 boys and then had twin girls (so baby 6&7). As we live in the UK and also because of our religious beliefs, I doubt that she did PGD.

I'll let you know in a few months I have 5 boys and am due in sept so will find out if it's my girl r boy number 5 though truth be told I'm betting on blue again. Dh has said we cud go for another after this truth be told i think he'd happily let me work away until we got a girl but I'm thinking that if this is boy 6 I'll save up and go for pgd in 6 years when I'm about 34.

im expecting girl number 5 but we lost another girl at 22 weeks so 5 living girls ( as of right now) and one princess in heaven. it can happen. i was really hoping to see some blue this time. so despite some major swaying and praying  and i even tried only on the months the chinese baby chart promised me a boy we are still getting another girl. if you are ok with the possiablity of 6 boys, i say try for a girl. good luck

One of my close friends has 5 boys and is 7 mns pg with #6 - a little girl.  No swaying, or anything, she really wasn't bothered about having more boys lol.  Good luck, hope your next one is pink x

Parentofmany...  Did you have to wait until the actual birth to find out for sure?  After 5 boys and everyone guessing another boy, what was it like to suddenly find out you had a daughter and to have a baby girl placed in your arms?

Hi there. I had 5 daughters and then an unplanned 6th pregnancy which turned out to be my little boy! We didnt sway for any of them as I only found out about swaying after finding out about my last pregnancy. Good luck!
