Is there an absolute way for you to make a boy or girl? No... but there
are some fun ways to try for that girl or boy baby!
It is the man's sperm that determines the sex of
your baby - X for female and Y for male. The male sperm (Y) are small and
weak but fast. The female sperm (X) is stronger but slower than the male
sperm. Although you can't "make" a boy or girl, you can certainly try some
things to increase the chances of conceiving a male or female baby.
Timing can be everything when trying to have a
boy or a girl. Intercourse three days before ovulation can help if
trying for a girl. This will allow the female sperm to reach the egg
before the male sperm. The woman's body will have more time to kill the
faster male sperm before ovulation occurs. The female sperm, although
slower, is stronger and has better chance of reaching the egg. If trying
for a boy, intercourse should occur closer to ovulation, enabling the faster
sperm to reach the egg before the female.
If you are having trouble conceiving, do not
attempt these methods, as some can diminish your chances for conception.
How to Conceive a Girl
Beginning five days before ovulation, have intercourse every day up to
three days before ovulation.
Shallow penetration in the missionary position will increase your
chances for having a girl. There is more acidity near the entrance of
your vagina. Acidity will break down the male sperm, which is weaker,
leaving more female sperm available for fertilization.
Do not have an orgasm when trying for a girl. This will make you
more alkaline - an environment that suits the male sperm.
Have your male partner take a hot bath just before intercourse.
Eat legumes and dairy if trying for a girl.
Douche with water and vinegar prior to intercourse.
How to Conceive a Boy
Have intercourse one to two days before ovulation.
Have an orgasm during intercourse, which causes an alkaline environment
- favoring the male sperm. Contractions during the orgasm will also
serve as a "wave" to carry the male sperm towards the egg.
Penetration from behind, with a woman on her hands and knees. This
will help the male sperm to be closer to the egg for fertilization.
Have your male partner drink something caffeinated just before
intercourse.
Douche with water and baking soda prior to intercourse.
