Most people think the gender of a newborn is simply a roll of the dice. In fact, though, there are several things prospective parents can do to put the odds in favor of one sex or the other.
Some parents don't care that much about the gender of their future infant. However, if you and your spouse have a heartfelt preference for a boy, there are some techniques you can employ to tip the odds in the direction of having a newborn of the sex you desire. Obviously, there are no absolute guarantees and the idea to always remember is that having a healthy baby is more important than anything else.
There are, certainly, a variety of techniques that are used in expensive fertility clinics such as artificial insemination using only female or only male sperm. This is done by pulling out as many of the sperm of the unwanted sex from the sperm sample and then inseminating the woman with what remains. As I said, these clinical techniques are costly and occasionally fail to supply the anticipated result.
The good news is that there are three, scientifically proven techniques that a couple can utilize at home to greatly boost the odds of giving birth to a child of the sex that is desired. There is no significant expense, if any, involved with these strategies so the door is open for any couple, regardless of their economic circumstances. Although the use of any method to pre-determine the sex of a child may be controversial in some circles, the tactics we will take a look at here are not only ethical but safe.
The first strategy is based on the differing nature or characteristics of male vs. Female sperm. The boy sperm carry the Y chromosome while the female contain the X chromosome. If the first sperm to get to and penetrate the egg is a boy sperm, then a baby boy will be conceived. However, if the egg is fertilized by a female sperm, a girl will be born nine months later. The object of this first technique is to try to control which sex of sperm has the best probability of reaching the egg.
It is important to know the natural characteristics of each sex of sperm. Boy sperm are more agile and energetic and swim faster than female sperm. However, male sperm do not live very long when compared to female sperm. Girl sperm are slow swimmers and they are larger in size than their male counterparts. Female sperm can be expected to live for a number of days longer than male sperm.
The first practice takes advantage of these differences by timing the occurrence of sexual intercourse with relation to the female's expected date of ovulation. For the best chances of conceiving a male child, intercourse should be timed to occur as close to the date of ovulation as possible. This gives the faster swimming male sperm the advantage in terms of being first to reach the egg. However, if a female child is desired, intercourse should be timed to occur a few days before the expected date of ovulation. In this way, the male sperm will probably be dead before the egg even enters the uterus and the more leisurely swimming female sperm will have the necessary time to swim up the vagina and into the cervix so as to arrive when the egg has just come into the uterus.
The second technique is a variation the first in that it uses the same principal of differing sperm characteristics. This practice is based on sexual positions during intercourse. If a boy child is desired, the sexual positions that allow for the deepest penetration of the penis into the vagina should be utilized and ejaculation should occur at the point of deepest penetration. This places the sperm as adjacent to the opening of the cervix as possible, thus shortening the journey for the faster swimming, sooner to die, male sperm. If a female baby is desired, however, sexual positions that allow only shallow penetration should be employed and ejaculation should be controlled to occur at the shallowest possible place within the vagina. The result of this method is to lengthen the journey to the egg, thus giving the girl sperm a distinct advantage.
The third and final method has to do with controlling the acidity or alkalinity of the woman's vagina and cervix. This can be achieved through diet and/or particular vaginal douches. Female sperm survive best in acidic conditions while male sperm function in an alkaline environment better. Certain foods are more acidic and others are more alkaline. Certain douching solutions are designed to be acidic while others are manufactured to be alkaline.
By now, it should be readily apparent that all three techniques can be used together to increase the odds of tipping the scales in the direction you wish for. Good luck! I hope you are successful in pre-determining the sex of your baby. As I said, there is no 100 percent guarantee and the most essential thing is to have a healthy baby, whether it be a boy or a girl. Any child is one of the greatest gifts that life can offer.
