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.

Sexual Positions For Gender Selection of Your Baby

If you want to try to increase the chances of having a boy or a girl, sometimes it all comes down to how you do it – literally. While there is no 100% method that will guarantee that you can select the gender of your child, there are specific positions that you can try that will increase the likelihood of selecting the gender of your baby.

This works for a variety of different reasons, but is based on the fact that the two kinds of chromosomes that are responsible for gender selection are carried by sperms that are very different. The Y chromosome is responsible for conceiving a boy. The sperm that carry this chromosome are small, quick and able to cover the distance to the egg very rapidly. The downside is they don't live very long and if they have to swim too far, they won't be able to complete their journey successfully.
