How to Conceive a Baby Boy – Simple Methods to Improve the Chances of Having a Son

For couples who already have daughters, many will wonder if it is possible to learn how to conceive a baby boy. Although gender selection techniques are often frowned about by many, there is no doubt whatsoever that parents who already have two or more children of the same sex, and who are wanting further children, would generally like a child of the opposite sex, even thought they may not admit to it!

For most though, this is nothing more than a passing thought and although there may be a deep-seated desire to improve the chances of having a son, nothing will be done apart from some “finger crossing” and possibly “praying”.

However, what many people do not know is that there are some very simple things you can do right away to help you to conceive a son. Natural methods which are successful rely on using a multifaceted approach which uses all the scientific knowledge we have about the behavior of all the various elements involved in conception, such as the timing of intercourse, the behavior of the sperm and ovum, the diet of both partners – and the list goes on. By harnessing every bit of knowledge and putting it into practice both before and at the time of conception, some methods claim a success rate of up to 95%.

One method relies on understanding the differences between male and female sperm. Male sperm is smaller and faster than its female counterpart and does not live as long. By having intercourse as close to the time of ovulation as possible, you can ensure that the fast, male sperm will reach the newly released egg first. Using this method, it is important to ensure that you do not have intercourse before ovulation or the longer lasting female sperm will survive and be ready and waiting to fertilize the egg.

Another tip is to have intercourse using positions which favor deeper intercourse. Male sperm prefer an alkaline environment and as the area near to the cervix is alkaline this is naturally more supportive of male sperm.

Money And The Sex Of Your Baby

In the recent past we have seen several media reports about people going in for high tech medical procedures to select the gender of the baby they are going to have.

These procedures typically involve the following steps:

Tests and evaluations to determine the health of the couples’ reproductive organs ?comprehensive and expensive tests are involved.

Some method of improving the concentration of 揵oy?sperm or 揼irl?sperm as desired, in a given sample of semen taken for use in fertilisation. The most common method is centrifuging.

In vitro fertilisation ?fertilisation of the egg in a lab dish to create the embryos.

Some kind of scanning of the embryos to determine their sex ?low tech ways like selection by size, high tech methods using pre-implantation genetic diagnosis.

Implantation of the selected embryo into the womb.

Choosing the sex of your baby using high tech procedures involve huge expenses of not less than 50000 US dollars. And even in the case of couples who can conceive normally through intercourse, the procedure involves artificial insemination. The success rate of pregnancy by artificial insemination is low even today.

Now, if the couple has a history of hereditary diseases in their families and they are apprehensive of the baby inheriting the disease-carrying gene, pre-implantation scanning of embryos to eliminate those that will lead to a seriously ill child may be a desirable option, even at such high cost.

But to go to this expense and inconvenience to merely choose the gender of your next baby is neither acceptable nor necessary.

If you do not have a compelling medical reason to spend 50000 dollars to select the sex of your baby, you can use other low tech methods that will improve the chances of having the boy or girl of your desire, with over 90 percent success. Some of these methods are 100 percent safe and natural, and do not involve the use of hormones or drugs.

Timing Ovulation to Conceive a Boy

If you want to have a baby boy, there are a few natural ways that you can manipulate the timing and position of intercourse and vaginal PH during conception that can greatly increase your chances of having a son.

Of these variables, timing conception to correspond with the woman’s ovulation can be one of the most important pieces of this puzzle. Here’s why:

Y (Boy) Sperm Are Faster, But Weaker Than X (Girl): During conception, a man’s sperm contains an equal amount of chromosomes that after conception can produce either a male and female baby. If a Y chromosome sperm fertilizes the egg first, the conception will result in a baby boy. If it’s instead an X, the result will be a baby girl.

Since the sperm contain both X and Y chromosomes, couples have a random chance of conceiving either sex going in. However, you can manipulate different variables, based on what we know about the different characteristics of each.

For example, the Y (boy sperm) are very fast swimmers and will generally make it to the egg first. The catch though is that they are much more fragile and die off faster. The X (girl) are extremely hard and can survive for a longer period of time in a harsher environment.

Timing Of Ovulation For A Boy: That’s why in order to have a son, you should conceive as close to possible on the day of ovulation. The most optimal time is on the day of. If you conceive well before ovulation, you would increase your chances of having a girl because this would give the hardier X sperm the advantage since they can survive long enough to wait for the egg while the Y can not.

There are all kinds of methods that women use to track their ovulation, including cervical mucus, the position and feel or the cervix, and ovulation predictor kits. In my opinion, the methods that rely upon cervical inspection are just too subjective or individual to be accurate enough. Ovulation predictor kits are more accurate, but I find the salvia tests to be much more accurate than their urine counterparts. This accuracy is extremely important since the boy sperm die off very quickly and optimally need to be waiting once the egg is released.

Other Variables For Having A Boy Baby (Vaginal PH, Intercourse Positioning): Of course, ovulation timing this is only one of several variables. You’ll also need to create a vaginal PH / environment that is conducive to producing a son. An environment that is too acidic favors girls much more as they are hardier enough to survive this. You need to make your PH more alkaline either by douching with specific formulas (not just baking soda and water) and / or consuming and avoiding certain foods. Gender selection clinics charge hundreds of dollars for these douches, but there are recipes that allow you to make them at home. (If you are opposed to douching, you can change your vaginal acidity using foods, but you’ll have to be much more diligent about it.)

I highly recommend testing your PH with testing strips so that you’ll know exactly where you fall. Highly acidic women sometimes have a greater challenge conceiving boys. Knowing your acidity going in is extremely helpful because you will then know how much adjustment you’ll need and you’ll also know when you’ve achieved the “boy zone.”

It’s also recommended that you conceive using intercourse positions that deposit the sperm as close to the cervix as possible. This gives the Y sperm less distance to travel and helps them reach the egg before they begin to die off. It’s also recommended that the woman have an orgasm for male conception (but not for a girl) as doing so will make the environment more alkaline and less acidic.
