    Conceiving a boy

    If you would love to conceive a boy Dr Shettles recommends the following.....

    * Abstain from sex during the four or five days leading up to ovulation as this will help to build up your partner's sperm count. You should then time sex to be as close to ovulation as possible, ideally on the day of ovulation itself as this is a woman's most fertile time (so do the baby dance as much as possible). As the Y sperm are more nimble, when released just prior to ovulation they will reach and fertilise an egg much sooner than their X counterparts are able.

    * The optimum vaginal environment for Y sperm to thrive in is the alkalinity of the 'egg white' cervical mucus present just before ovulation. As Y sperm are more fragile they are less able to survive in more acidic conditions, hence why having sex as close to ovulation as possible is recommended. Alkalinity is increased during the female orgasm so Dr Shettles recommends having one before, or at the same time as your partner if you want to conceive a boy. Whats more the female reproductive system contracts during and after orgasm which gives the Y sperm a helping hand in making their way speedily to the egg.

    Interesting statistic - what survey supplied the knowledge that two times as many women are being born? Have you additionally studied any corresponding youngster mortality fee facts? I was once additionally below the impact that a few societies that significance boys over ladies are already rampantly aborting feminine fetuses, however I get that from the media so it might be thoroughly flawed. And why could you desire a boy vs. a woman, and now not only a healthful little one? If it is a lady, do you propose to regard it in a different way than if it have been a boy?

    The only certain way to make sure it is a boy is having gender selection and IVF which is expensive. There are some "old wives tale" methods that may or may not work. My husband and I are trying some of them hoping for a boy as well. They recommend rear entry positions as being the best chance of having a boy. Good luck!!
