After four boys, Kailyn Lowry is determined to make baby No. 5 a girl. And though she’ll have to wait a while to get started — baby no. 4 isn’t even due until July 2020 — she’s already taken the first few steps in the process by talking to a doctor about gender selection. Though the Teen Mom 2 star has joked about using the IVF technique in the past, it seems she’s getting serious. Check out the gallery below to see what Kail had to say.

Kail, 28, has always been honest with her fans and followers about wanting a daughter. Back in February 2019, she admitted on the YouTube show “Studology 101” that she “would love to have girls.”

“How it will happen, I don’t know, but we will figure it out I guess,” she said at the time, revealing even then she was considering gender selection. “It’s time for me to have a girl.”

Being around her friends’ daughters — particularly BFF and costar Leah Messer’s little girls — has only strengthened her desire to have one of her own.

But after revealing that she’s expecting for a fourth time, the mom learned in February 2020 that, once again, she’s having a little boy.

Making Jokes

Excited or not, fans could tell the mom had still been hoping for the opposite outcome. “Looks like baby No. 5 may have to happen as well,” one fan teased. “LMAOOO, starting five basketball team coming right up,” Kail shot back.

Trusting Science

A few days later, the MTV mama started once again mentioning the IVF technique. “It’s OK, Kail, keep trying for the baby girl if you want,” one fan encouraged. “I would do gender selection at this point,” the mom teased in response.

Not Playing

As it turns out, though, Kail was perfectly serious about looking into the procedure. On Thursday, March 19, she opened up about the decision while hosting an Instagram Q&A for fans.

Asking Questions

Among the many queries the star got was one inquiring if the star is “honestly, truthfully” annoyed about not having a girl. “I’m not annoyed, LOL!” she promised.

Moving Forward

It’s not clear whether Kail is ready to commit to the procedure — but if she wants to learn a little more, she might have to look no further than Teen Mom OG.

Another Story

On the other MTV show, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra are also talking about gender selection in the new season.

Price Tag

However, they’ve already admitted that the substantial cost might scare them off the procedure. After learning the technique could cost $18,000, Cate insisted she’s not paying that much money to have a kid.

If they do choose to go through with it, though, Kail might be able to get some good advice from her fellow Teen Mom stars.

But if she’s really serious, the first move might be deciding who would be the baby’s dad — and based on how much shade Kail is throwing at her ex Chris Lopez, we’re willing to bet it won’t be him.
