subject: Conceive A Daughter Naturally [print this page] If you would like to know how to conceive a daughter naturally, there are a number of simple steps which you can take which will tip the balance in your favor. Many people believe that the gender of your baby is down to pure chance and that it is simply a case of which type of sperm reaches the egg first. If male and female sperm were identical, other than their gender, then this would be a reasonable assumption to make.
In actual fact, there are a number of not-quite-so-subtle differences between male and female sperm and it is these differences, coupled with the subtle interaction of a number of other determining factors which decide whether your new baby will be a son or a daughter.
To conceive a daughter naturally, it is necessary to exploit these differences to your advantage and by doing so, you can increase your chances considerably. Female sperm is larger and heavier than male sperm due to the amount of genetic material which it carries. It can survive for longer than male sperm, but moves slower due to its increased weight. It also favors an acidic environment.
Okay, so you know the facts, how can you use them to your advantage?
Firstly, if you have intercourse a couple of days before ovulation and then not on the day of ovulation itself, this means that the longer living female sperm will be in the fallopian tubes, ready and waiting for the release of the egg. Waiting until the day of ovulation itself will favor male sperm as if it is a straightforward race to a waiting egg, the faster male sperm is likely to get there first. Of course, this all relies on you knowing exactly when ovulation is likely to happen and to remove any doubt, it is well worth investing in an ovulation predictor kit as I consider this to be an essential tool to help you conceive a daughter naturally.
Next, making your vagina more acidic can help to encourage female sperm. This can be done by eating a special diet to encourage acidity which includes meats, dairy and selected fruits and vegetables such as corn and blueberries. Douching can also help to provide an acidic environment and it is worth exploring the best combination of ingredients to make this happen.
If you would like to see tried-and-tested, all-encompassing methods which will help you to have a baby girl, there is an excellent guide which is based on scientific rather than anecdotal principles. It includes all the information you need to successfully choose your baby's gender and has been proven to be 95% accurate.
