Natural gender selection has been practiced for generations and while there are plenty of Old Wive's Tales, some of them are actually grounded in scientific fact. Naturally, there is no 100% guarantee that following these techniques will result in having a child be the gender you want, but they can increase the chance that you will.
If you are trying for a baby boy naturally, it is important to remember that the sperm that carry the Y chromosome, the one responsible for determining the male gender, are much different than the sperm that carry the X chromosome, or the one that is responsible for determining the female gender.
The Y sperm are smaller and more agile, and they can reach the egg much quicker. However, they don't live as long as the X sperm do and they have some limitations in terms of dealing with the pH of your body. Let's look at the factors that can assist the Y sperm in reaching the egg first, which resulted in a boy.
Your pH Balance Along With Your Diet
Y sperm require a pH balance that is more alkaline than acidic. This means that you will need to adjust your diet somewhat. Foods that are rich in potassium and sodium are the best choices if you are trying to have a boy. This includes foods like red meat, bananas, peaches and sausage.
Getting The Right Timing
Timing is vital if you are trying for a baby boy naturally and definitely if you want the Y sperm to reach the egg before the X sperm do. Which means, you will need to plan intercourse as closely as possible to the day that you ovulate. The egg is viable for a period of 24 hours, and this will give the Y sperm enough of an opportunity to reach the egg while they are still viable as well.
Choosing the Right Position
The position that you select also affects how quickly the Y sperm will reach the egg. It is important to use a position which allows for deep penetration and the man must orgasm as closely to the neck of the cervix as possible. Positions that allow for this include woman dominant, or woman on top as well as doggy style or rear entry.
Additional factors
Surprisingly, if a woman orgasms before a man does, it increases the chances of having a boy. This is due to the fact of the secretions within the vagina that happen during an orgasm. They shift the balance of the pH to more alkaline, allowing the Y sperm the perfect environment they need to make it through the cervix.
What to Remember
Again, there is no 100% guarantee that you will be able to conceive a baby boy using these methods, but it does increase your chances significantly. Regardless of what gender your child ends up being, but the important thing is that they are healthy. It's fun to trying for a baby boy naturally, but at the end of the day, there are many different factors that will ultimately decide their gender.
Thank you so much. This article is so informative. I was looking for these information for the past few months since my niece was trying to get pregnant with a baby boy naturally. She usually does not like long and complicated methods. So she told me to look for natural gender selection method.
