Increase Your Chances Of Conceiving A Girl Or Boy

If you’re trying to conceive a baby with a specific gender in mind, there are many traditional “remedies” that you can try, from dietary advice to lovemaking positions.

Although the tips you will find in this article are not harmful, (and some of them are downright fun) experts say that you only have 50/50 odds at conceiving a specific gender no matter what method you try. Because let’s face it, who is really in charge of whether or not that egg and sperm get together? Once you roll the dice, so to speak, it’s largely out of your control.

There are many factors, however, that can stack the odds in your favor to give yourself the best chances of conceiving either a boy or a girl. Of course, you need to plan ahead and implement these recommendations well in advance of your pregnancy, especially dietary changes. Give them time to inform your body in whatever way they can, and hope for the best. Like I said, there’s no harm in trying.

Even though conceiving a baby is an act of joining two components, it can feel like more of a struggle between opposites, especially if you want to conceive a specific gender. I have gathered a sampling of the best of both worlds for you to consider before you play roulette. Good luck everybody.

High Tech vs. Old Wives Tales

Although these practices for trying to conceive a specific gender have been used over centuries, we have just begun to scientifically prove (or disprove) some of them. Today’s technology allows us to use science to select gender in a lab, but there are legal, financial and moral issues to consider with gender selection. For those who want to take a more natural approach, try some of these suggestions for timing, nutrition, and best positions.

For a boy

* Okay men, it’s time to get your game on: increase your chances by suggesting the love-making yourself. In a nice way – not a caveman way. Flowers?

* Make love on odd days of the month at night; say 10pm. Light a candle. It might be nice.

* Bring on the meat, pasta and vegetables but avoid dairy products, nuts and chocolate. Sorry guys, you have to take one for the team.

* Do it doggy-style. Here’s where you make up for the no-dairy thing.

* Because male sperm swim faster, it is thought that they reach the egg first, so avoid intercourse for one week before ovulation to keep the male sperm count up, then go for it on ovulation day.
