Tips for Conceiving the Baby Gender of Your Choice

This video discusses the basics of conceiving, in particular, the sexual positions that will tip the scales in your favour for conceiving the baby gender of your choice, according to the Shettles Method. Remember NATURAL methods are NOT 100 per cent foolproof - but you have better chances of success if you 'tipped the scales' in your favour than if you did NOTHING at all!

Even though there is theoretically a 50/50 chance of conceiving either sex, in some families this ratio may be skewed in reality due to for example, an inherited tendency or other factors to have more boys than girls or vice versa.

Did you know that today sperm count is lower in men than say for their forbears due to many reasons eg. higher level of chemical and other pollution, use of laptops, mobile devices, etc.?

Tip: Do NOT place your laptop directly on your lap as there is evidence that 1) electromagnetic radiation as well as the 2) HEAT from your laptop - decreases sperm count!!**

Tip: Similarly with cell-phone storage - avoid storing them in your pocket close to your 'crown-jewels' as that will also reduce sperm count.**

(There are many more tips on the 'do's' and 'don'ts' on how to determine baby gender).

Note: also that pollutants like plastics in the environment eg. food stored or sold in plastic containers, disposable plastic-foam cups, etc., increase oestrogen in the surroundings amongst other things. Higher levels of oestrogen depress sperm count, as well as cause children to mature faster (cf. children are developing breasts at an earlier age.) High stress levels, eg. from work or business, personal financials and / or relationship issues also depress sperm count.

Tip: Don't move around immediately after sex but lie quietly for a while (for the woman) in order to increase the chances of getting pregnant especially if you are using the shallow sex technique (the position often advocated for determining girl gender where you are trying to stack the odds in favour of X-sperm success).

Deep penetration techniques that are recommended for determining boy gender stack the odds in favour of the Y-sperms, which swim faster and so reach the egg faster. Deep methods place the sperm closer to the cervix so the sprinters have a shorter distance to travel to reach their destination before they perish. This is more advantangeous for predicting boy gender especially if you have truly missed your ovulation date because the X-sperms, which are hardier 'long-distance runners' will outlive and beat the Y-sperms to the 'finishing line' - the ovum (egg)! Good, if you are determining girl gender for baby.

Want to Have a Boy? Try These Techniques

Natural gender selection has been practiced for centuries and while there are plenty of Old Wive's Tales, some of them are actually grounded in scientific fact. Naturally, there is no 100% guarantee that following these techniques will result in having a child be the gender you want, they can increase the likelihood that you will.

If you are trying to have a boy, it is important to remember that the sperm that carry the Y chromosome, the one responsible for determining the male gender, are much different than the sperm that carry the X chromosome, or the one that is responsible for determining the female gender. 

How to Have a Boy - 3 Easy Steps

If you would like to increase the chances of adding a baby boy to your family, there are a few things that you can do to naturally select the gender of your child. While there is no guarantee and no method is 100% foolproof, following these steps can increase the likelihood that you will have a boy.

Before we get started, it is important to understand the difference between the sperms that carry the Y chromosome, which are responsible for conceiving a boy and the sperms that carry the X chromosome, which are responsible for conceiving a girl. The Y sperm move very quickly, are quite small and don't live as long as the X sperm do.

How to Time Intercourse to Choose Gender of Your Child

While there are no guarantees when it comes to natural gender selection, there are a few things that can be done to increase the likelihood of having a baby boy or girl. If you are specifically wanting a boy or girl, it certainly doesn’t hurt to try a few natural techniques. You may not get the gender you want, but it sure is fun trying and the result is the same regardless – a happy and healthy baby, and that is what really matters.

In order to understand how the timing of when you have sex can impact the gender of your child it is important to look at two different things – first, how ovulation works and second, how the differences in sperm affect this timing. Let's look at ovulation first.

Every month, there is a window of fertility that is approximately five days long. Three days prior to ovulation to one day following ovulation are the best times to conceive. Remember, the egg only has 24 hours of viability, and that sperm can live for up to five days in the reproductive tract. Each woman is different however, but this is the generally accepted "window of fertility" that occurs every month.

So, now that you've narrowed it down to five days of the month where you are fertile, it's time to figure out how to time your intercourse to choose the gender of your child. Let's take a look at the differences in sperm that carry the chromosomes that decide gender.

There are many sperm swimming around
the egg but only one will fertilise it.

A sperm carrying the Y chromosome will result in a boy if it successfully fertilizes the egg. A sperm carrying the X chromosome will result in a girl. There are some main differences in these sperm that are important to understand. The Y sperm are very small, but also very quick and agile. The main downside is that they don't live very long. The X sperm are bigger and much slower, but on the flip side, they live a lot longer.

Keeping this in mind, now let's move to timing. In order to have a boy, it is vital to allow the Y sperm the time they need to reach the egg as quickly as possible. This means that you need to time intercourse on the day that you ovulate. The Y sperm won't live much longer than that 24 hour period that the egg is viable and you need to give them that chance to meet the egg before they expire.

Sperm swimming towards Egg

On the other hand, if you want to have a girl, you should time intercourse to two to three days prior to ovulation. During this time, the Y sperm will have died out, leaving the slower but more durable X sperm behind. This greatly increases the chances that you will have a girl. There are many other factors that can effect the gender of your child such as diet, and even the sexual position that you use, but timing it properly can help you naturally select your child's gender.

Dietary Choices May Impact the Gender of Your Child

While there are many different things that can decide the gender of your future child, the dietary choices you make may have a big impact. Natural gender selection relies on a few different techniques to help increase the odds of having either a boy or a girl. While these methods are not 100% reliable, most couples find that they do end up with the gender they wanted. At the end of the day, it is a 50/50 chance, but there are a few things you can do to swing the percentage in your favor.

The foods that you eat can affect the future gender of your child for a variety of different reasons. The main one is that your body's PH needs to be at a certain level for each type of gender. The sperm that carry the chromosomes that decide gender require a different PH for a successful trip towards fertilization.

Let's take a look at the differences in these sperm to gain a better understanding of why PH levels are so important. First, the sperm responsible for conceiving a boy carry the Y chromosome. They are small, agile and must reach their destination quickly before they expire. They need an alkaline environment to reach the egg properly.

The sperm responsible for conceiving a girl carry the X chromosome. They are much larger, more durable and though they may take longer to reach an egg, they have a greater chance of living long enough to do so. They prosper in an acidic environment.

Choosing the right foods to balance your PH levels appropriately may indeed have an impact on the gender of your child. Let's take a look at what foods are important to include in your diet for either sex.

Eating for a Boy

 

If you want to have a boy, foods that contain potassium and sodium are very important. They are non acidic by nature and will boost your alkalinity. The recommended foods include bananas, sweet corn, red meats, and even sausages. It is important however that you eat these foods in moderation and include a healthy and balanced diet for proper health. Having too much sodium is never recommended. Stay within proper dietary guidelines at all times.

Eating for a Girl

 

In order to have a girl, you need to focus on foods that will boost acidity in your body. They include foods that are rich in magnesium and calcium. Broccoli is the perfect example of a food that contains high levels of both. Other foods you can eat include grapefruit, apples, dairy products, some fish (farm raised to avoid high levels of mercury) and leafy green vegetables.

What to Remember

 

Everything in moderation is key as well as proper nutrition. While there are other methods of selecting your child's gender naturally, combining them with a proper diet will increase your chances for success. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about the foods that you should be eating. How to determine the gender of your baby > Click Here.
