Choose The Sex Of Your Baby Naturally
Baby gender selection has been practiced throughout history
, but whilst some methods have remained old wives tales, there are several scientifically based methods you can use that will increase your chances to choose the sex of your baby naturally.Of course no method can guarantee 100% that you can choose baby gender but it will increase the likelihood, whether you are hoping to conceive a boy or girl baby.
These methods are based around the fact that the sperm which carries Y chromosomes (to get a boy) are very different from the sperm that carries the X chromosome (which you need to get a girl). Once you know these differences, you can choose baby gender by one or a combination of methods to create the best environment for one type of sperm to outshine the other and reach the egg first. Let's take a look at what you can do. The Right Diet Y sperm (to conceive a boy baby) require an environment that is alkaline in nature, while X sperm (to conceive a girl baby) need an environment that is more acidic.
This will determine how thick the woman's cervical discharge is and which type of sperm is more likely be able to get through successfully. In order to conceive a girl baby, eat a diet that is rich in calcium and magnesium. In order to conceive a boy baby, eating a diet rich in potassium and sodium will achieve this.
The Right Time Another way to choose the sex of your baby naturally is to time intercourse in relation to the day the woman ovulates. Again this method works equally well whether you want to choose to conceive a boy or a girl baby. For a boy baby it's best to wait for the day of ovulation. This is because the Y sperm needs to reach the egg as quickly as possible, and in this way the egg and sperm will meet much faster whilst they are both still viable.
To conceive a girl baby, you need to give the Y sperm time to run out of steam, leaving the more durable X sperm a chance to get ahead. So if you time intercourse to approximately two to three days before ovulation this gives the X sperm more than enough time to reach the egg and leaves the Y sperm behind. You can calculate ovulation by keeping a record of your cycle and counting 14 days before your period is due. You can also buy kits from a chemist that can help you predict ovulation.
The Right Position There are certain positions you can choose for intercourse that can affect baby gender selection. Once again, we fall back to the differences between sperm. Remember, the Y sperm is a fast swimmer but gets tired quicker, so if it starts as close to the cervix as possible this shortens the journey it takes to reach the egg. Positions that allow for a deep penetration are perfect.
To conceive a girl baby, you need to make it more difficult for the Y sperm to reach the egg on time. Choosing a position that is more shallow will mean the journey to the egg will take longer. This gives the X sperm the chance they need to reach the egg, and allowing the Y sperm to die off.
As long as you know when ovulation occurs, you can really increase the likelihood of baby gender selection. If you want to choose to either conceive a boy or a girl baby without any medical intervention try these simple and easy methods to help you choose the sex of your baby naturally.
