I've always thought there was some number of kids where, man, you only have so much of yourself to go 'round right, that at some point you can't give them all the attention they need. Maybe that's judgemental. But yeah I judge anyone with more than three kids, like, stop already. We had two and man, that took everything from me, in the best way, but for fuck's sake, we don't need that many people goin' round. I'm good at just replacing yourself and your spouse, no net gain.
Here you go OP, you just need to do it later in the month: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shettles_method
Jeez I don't even want one. How do ppl do this? I love my personal time way too much than to worry about 3-4 extra ppl making life hectic for me too with all their problems and stuff.
To each their own.

To all of those saying adopt is it an easy process in the US? Surely gender selection would be easier if the OP is adamant about having a girl.
Im in the UK and had friends going through the adoption process recently and it sounds like an absolute nightmare.

ResetERA fertility police at it lol.
Regarding environment and recources, that's why we have technological advancement and this is our key problem solving tool, the world is going to be overpopulated with our without OPs child.
The UK curbed it's carbon emissions down to 1890 level: https://e360.yale.edu/assets/site/_1500x1500_fit_center-center_80/CarbonBrief_UKCO2Emissions_web.jpg
It's population doubled since 1890.

What if OP has some sort of overpowered Y Chromosome that always wins out during Meiosis? What if he's doomed to only ever produce male offspring?
I mean you got a 50/50 shot of becoming like this. So sure, why not?
The way she's holding that kid makes me slightly uncomfortable.
I can barley take care of myself let alone 4/5 kids.
So only if you can fully support all of them.

Don't risk it for a fifth child OP!
This is one of the funniest threads I've ever seen lmao

Please do. And have someone take a picture of your face when your daughter comes out as a trans man.
You coluld get to 10 boys before you get a girl.
A guy I worked with years ago had three daughters. His wife just "had to try" for a boy. They had twin girls. So yea 5 girls. Yikes.
Best decision is not to come to EtcetEra for any major family related personal decisions. Main person you should be discussing with is your wife.
Seeing this thread as I am thinking about MAYBE having one kid is definitelly something else!
OP, are you are ok with:
- the additional time and resource constraints;
- is willing to share the responsabilities and not overburden your partner;
- will love whoever comes out as the fifth kid, even if it turns out male;
- attempt to minimize your family's carbon footprint
... sure... go ahead... I guess ?
Adoption seems like a sound alternative as well, considering that you are thinking about this because you want a girl. This won't leave things to chance. I imagine there are a lot of baby girls seeking a family within the adoption system of your country.

Please stop having kids, there is already plenty of people on this world. Consider adoption if you want a girl.

Absolutely go for it. If you do end up with an biological male baby, try raising without the social imposition of gender specific stereotypes. Hopefully the baby will grow up and decide to be identified as a girl. Gender neutral upbringing ftw.
