How to Conceive A Boy!!

Eating acidic foods, e.g. lemons, oranges, apples etc. is suppose to increase your chances of having a girl! No idea if it works, just what I read.
 
The book "taking charge of your fetility" discusses this topic. The talk about timing sex to coicide with the time of ovulation based on the fast males and slower females. It states when using the methods correctly the chances are 75-80 effective for choosing a girl and 80-90% effective fro choosing a boy. This is a very good book for learning how to take your temp, check cervical fluid and basically how to get preganat using your body's signs of ovulation.
Good Luck!!!
 
Mm.. I heard the same thing from my friends long time ago and they learnt that in their biology class.. I think this may be the most scientific way.

Actually, you can download a trial version of ovulation calendar free online and then you'll know what days you are fertile (i.e. a couple of days with 1 or 2 the most fertile). Have sexual intercourse on your most fertile days may help (but not on other less fertile days). After intercourse, make sure you put a pillow on your bottom and wait for a few minutes before going to the bathroom. This will help sperm swim faster. I understand that sperm Y can survive up to about 24 hours or so where sperm X can survive up to 3 or 4 days in your uterus. Correct me if other experts know different story.

Contrarily, if wanna a girl, have sex on days other than your most fertile days.

Not trying to be expert as I am not, for sure. Just sharing.

the more scientific way is that the Y sperm swim faster but they won't survive as long as the X sperm. On the other hand the X sperm swim much slower but they can survive much longer in your uterus, up to 4 days. So the way to go is to have sex on your ovulation day, and not to have sex a few days before you ovulates. There are ovulation kits to check when is your ovulation day or you can simply check your body temperature, the day you ovulation, if i remember correctly, your temperature is slighty higher.

there are actually scientific prove that suggest sperm prefer an alkaline environment, so eating alkaline food could help.

i did my research on it when i was trying to get pregnant, but i found out I AM ALREADY pregnant before i could actually test it out. And i just found out last week that I AM going to have a BOY. but i would be as happy if it was a girl.. cos i want my next one to be a girl.

good luck

Boy or Girl - gender choosing methods

You might be interested in looking at one of my replies to such issues (for both boy and girl wishes). Search for "Chinese Birthing Chart and other gender choosing methods". Hope it helps!
 
The best way to have a boy is to really try for a girl. There is a certain sense of humor to all of this.
We did hear that older couples tend to have boys as do those using fertility meds. No idea if it is true.
 
I know we're free to talk about what ever we want in these forums. But the preconceptioin forum is filled with ladies' upsetting stories concerning difficulties in getting pregnant. Hence I find it a little sad that others are posting questions on how to conceive a boy. Thank god that you are fortunate enough to conceive! Many women are experiencing tears and depression and grief over this issue, what must they think of you lot deliberating over how to conceive a baby boy and not another girl. What a shame to be preganat but with a girl - is that the message we are sending? Many women would give they're right arm to be pregant - boy or girl.
 
Completely agree with you, Loraine.

I understand that most parents like to have a child of each gender. I'm no different from that. However let's bear in mind how extremely blessed we already are to be able to conceive at all.

Hi Woojoemau

hi all.. there are many saying.. one of my friend told me that this is a family past down secret to have a BOY.. she said after your period clear, you have sex on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th.... etc. i dunno how reliable is that but her brother did have a son on the first go.
