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 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.

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.

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.

Want to Have a Girl? Try These Techniques

Choosing the gender of your child may seem impossible, especially if you are not engaging in genetic manipulation. However, there are several techniques that can increase the likelihood of your conceiving the gender of your choice. While there is no 100% accurate way to naturally select the gender of your future child, you can increase the likelihood of having a boy or a girl by following some very easy steps.

The sperm that are responsible for having a girl carry the X chromosome. These sperm are slower than their Y counterparts and require a few different techniques if you want to ensure that they successfully reach the egg to result in a girl.

Eating the Right Foods

 

In order to have the right PH balance in your body to ensure that the X sperm can reach the egg successfully, you need to give them an environment that is acidic. This is considered to be ideal. Recommended foods include broccoli, apples, fish (as long as it is farm raised and contains no mercury), and dairy products. Focus on foods that are high in calcium and magnesium for the ultimate balance. 

Picking the Right Time For Intercourse

 

In order to give the X sperm the chance to reach the egg, you need to time intercourse so that by the time you ovulate, the Y sperm have already died off. This means that it is ideal to have intercourse two to three days before you ovulate. Sperm can remain viable within the body for up to five days and X sperm are the longest lived. By the time the egg drops from your ovary, the only ones left will most likely be the sperm that carry the X chromosome.

Choosing the Perfect Position for Intercourse

 

In order to give the X sperm the edge they need to outlast the faster Y sperm, sexual positions that offer shallow penetration are ideal. Positions such as missionary are perfect for this, but any position where the man does not orgasm deep within the vagina will work. Once again, you are stacking the deck so that the longer lived X sperm can outlast the Y sperm before they reach their destination.

 

Other Factors to Consider

 

Whether or not a woman orgasms before a man does impact on the determination of the gender of the child that they will conceive. This is due to the fact that once you orgasm, the PH inside the vagina changes due to secretions. Before an orgasm, the environment within the vagina and around the cervix is acidic, which is perfect for sperm carrying the X chromosome. Once you have an orgasm, the secretions change the PH to become more alkaline in nature, allowing the Y sperm the chance to get through. It is recommended that a woman do not orgasm first when trying for a girl.  


The Epic Journey:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The image on the RHS shows a sperm at the point of fertilising the egg. Many sperm swim towards the egg after ejaculation but only one will fertilise it - the fastest and hardiest as the journey up the uterus and fallopian tube to meet the egg after it is released is an EPIC one for the tiny swimmers. This journey is no less than the one you would make racing through the Grand Canyon right through to scaling Mount Everest ... non-stop, as that is what the female, interior terrain has been compared to at a microscopic level! 

The sperm cells race as there is only a tiny window of time, about 24 hours, before the egg which is produced once a month, loses its optimum receptivity and eventually dies!  When you think of these odds and the amazing race of their lives that would eclipse even the Olympic Races - cf. 2012 London Olympics currently underway - it is a miracle that babies the world over get conceived! It's no coincidence that millions of sperm cells are produced for this purpose because sperm cell casualties are very high!  The good news is that you can leverage such scientific information to help you determine the gender of your choice and thus create the family of your dreams! You don't have to rely solely on chance but can actually tip the scales in your favour!

And when both parents ensure they build up their health to their optimum level BEFORE conception then the best quality egg and mobile, healthy, fertile sperm is produced - the best gift you can give to your unborn child and to yourselves - a healthy start from the word 'GO'! So if you drink, smoke, eat junk-food, etc. detox both yourselves well BEFORE you attempt to conceive. A little planning will pay huge dividends and happiness. Many people spend so much time planning a holiday trip so why not when it comes to something so important like family-creation?

What to Remember

 

Although these techniques can increase the chances of conceiving a girl, as mentioned earlier, there is no foolproof method and there are no guarantees. However, you can have a lot of fun trying and no matter what gender you end up with, the result is the same – a happy and healthy baby and a brand new addition to your family.
