It's pretty common for me to receive emails from folks who already have a child of one gender and now that they are trying to get pregnant again, they want to have the opposite gender this time around. This usually involves one of two scenarios. They either already have a boy and want a girl or they already have a girl and now want a boy. The other day, I received an email from someone who indicated that she actually already had three daughters and she knew that she really only wanted four children. So, she wanted to make sure that this next conception produced a boy. She wrote: "how can I make sure that I get a boy instead of a girl this time around?" I'll answer this question in the following article.
Your Options For Trying For A Son: I explained to her that there were basically two options. If she could afford it or didn't mind conceiving in a sterile environment, she could be sure of an almost 100% success rate with PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) in a fertility office. This process is typically very expensive and it's not likely to be covered by insurance for most couples. She talked it over with her husband and they decided that it wasn't wise to take funds away from the college accounts of the other children over something like gender selection.
So, that left natural gender selection methods that you work on at home. These methods have certainly come a long way and when done correctly with the proper tools and patience, they are said to have an over 90% success rate. I'll tell you what I told her about them below.
Step One Of Getting A Boy Baby Rather Than A Girl: I had to suspect that if she already had a 100% girl conception rate, that there was a definite reason for this. Often, this reason will be that a person leans toward being acidic. I had her go out and get some PH testing strips to test this theory out and sure enough, her PH was very high. Women who keep having girls often have this happen because their vaginal environment is very highly acidic. These surroundings are not at all friendly to the Y sperm chromosomes that produce sons.
So the first step for her was determining her PH. The second step was changing it. I put her on an alkaline diet and I had her douching with very specific formulas based on her reading. I asked her to continue to monitor with the strips to see how fast we were making progress.
The Next Most Important Factor To Consider When You Want To Conceive A Boy Instead Of A Girl: The next thing that I had her address was when she actually ovulated. Because she had been trying to conceive mid way through her cycle (on day 14) without even confirming if she was close to ovulation at this time. People who conceive well before ovulation has happened are more likely to get girls because the X sperm chromosomes live longer and are more likely to still be viable by the time the egg is ready to be fertilized.
I had her get a saliva ovulation predictor to see when her actual ovulation day was. And guess what? It wasn't until day 16 (at least for the month that we tested because this will vary slightly from month to month.) And, those two days could have been making a big difference. That 48 hours could've ensured that most of the Y sperm that she wanted to make sure were present when her egg was ready had already died off by the time this actually happened.
Wrapping It Up: The Role In Sexual Positions In Getting A Boy Baby: Finally, I told her to continue to monitor both her ovulation and her PH. What she's going for is to hit her ovulation day and then begin trying to conceive at the same time that her PH is alkaline. Once this happens, I told her to consider using deeper penetration and ensuring that she has an orgasm because this releases alkalizing fluids which help to further lower the PH. The deeper penetration is simply placing the sperm closer to the cervix to give the Y's the most advantages that you can.
At this point, we're still waiting to see if she became pregnant with her last attempt. But, if she completed all of these objectives correctly, then she should have created an environment that is more favorable to producing a son this time around.
