How To Conceive A Baby Boy by Daniel058(m): 12:31pm On Apr 26, 2015
Although most doctors and fertility experts
claim that we can’t influence whether we
have a girl or boy, there’s certainly a lot of
compelling anecdotal evidence out there to
the contrary.
Some parents are absolutely convinced that
they conceived a baby boy by following
certain techniques, changing their diet, using
various “positions” in the bedroom or even
drinking particular concoctions. Although
medical doctors largely disregard these
rituals as old wives’ tales, it can’t hurt to try
a few, right? (Well, depending on the method
or “position,” it could hurt a little.)
If you’re absolutely determined to have a
baby boy and are willing to try anything,
consider these tricks that some parents,
astrologists, and even a few doctors swear
by.
This famous gender-predicting calendar was
purportedly drawn up by a Chinese scientist
and then buried in a royal tomb 700 years
ago. Or was buried for 700 years until a
Chinese scientist dug it up. Or was it devised
by a 700 year-old Chinese scientist? Well,
something like that … the history and
background behind it is not easy to
establish, but how to use it is. With this
mystical calendar, a baby’s sex is
determined by the mother’s age and the
month in which she conceives.
Lunar calendar adherents say the chart is 99
percent accurate. (I must admit, it correctly
predicted the gender of my little girl.)
Working backwards, you can use the Chinese
lunar calendar to find the month that will
help you conceive a boy. If you are intent on
this method, some practitioners say there are
rules to follow, such as not trying to
conceive during the very beginning or very
end of a boy-yielding time frame.
Eat a Boyish Diet
Some gender-predicting “experts” claim that
following a specific diet for a few weeks
before conceiving could increase your
chances of having a boy. They say that
switching your diet changes the pH balance
in your body, which some believe contributes
to the sex of your baby.
According to this theory, your daily “boy
producing” menu should be packed with
plenty of salty foods, red meats, eggs, peas,
raisins, zucchini, mushrooms, beans, sweet
corn, bread, and fish. This diet also
recommends you avoid acidic foods in quest
of a more alkaline (less acidic) environment
for the boy-bearing sperm to thrive. (An
alkalizing diet, in fact, doesn’t necessarily
shun acidic foods. For more, read The pH
Diet and Your Fertility.) As with all the other
advice dished out in this article, you should
take this suggestion with a grain of salt …
and an extra dash or two if you’re trying for
a boy.
Also, a recent study suggests that
maintaining higher levels of glucose—which
means sustaining a high intake of food
throughout the day—will increase your
chances of having a little boy. Consume a
wide range of nutrients such as potassium,
calcium, and vitamins C, E, and B12.
Breakfast, is particularly important, so never
skip!
Take Your Position
Another popular school of thought says that
certain sexual positions can improve your
odds of having a boy. In ancient times,
beliefs abounded about the positions that
would lead to male offspring, such as having
intercourse with your heads pointing north
or having the would-be mother sleep on the
left. Discoveries in science over the centuries
have led to somewhat more complex
theories about positioning (and a lot else).
For one thing, we now know for sure it’s the
male who determines the sex of a child. The
mother always provides an X chromosome in
the egg; the father contributes either an X
chromosome (yielding XX = girl) or a Y
chromosome (yielding XY = boy). Each
individual spermatozoa carries either X or Y
and the baby’s sex depends on which one
penetrates the egg most effectively first.
According to Dr. Landrum Shettles, MD,
author of How to Choose the Sex of Your
Baby, deeper penetration during intercourse
seems to favor boys.
He explains that a woman’s vagina is most
acidic near the entrance, and—as mentioned
before—some evidence suggests male sperm
don’t fare well in acidic environments.
Shettles says deeper penetration puts sperm
closer to the egg, reducing the distance the
sperm have to travel through the acidic
vagina. This gives faster-swimming Y-
chromosome (male) sperm a head start over
the X-chromosome (female) sperm.
Therefore, he recommends rear-entry
intercourse for couples who want a boy. (Do
I really have to clarify “rear-entry”? OK, fine
… he’s talking about “doggy-style,” people.
There, I wrote it.)
Get the Timing Right
Other medical experts also believe that Y
sperm (boys) swim faster than X sperm
(girls). However, girl sperm typically are
more robust and live longer in the
reproductive tract than the boy sperm.
So what does this theory mean to you? In a
nutshell, if you’re hoping for a boy you
should try to abstain from sex for several
days before ovulation and then have
intercourse as close to ovulation as possible.
This increases the likelihood that the boy
sperm (the faster swimmers) will beat out
the girl sperm to the egg, and not have to
survive too long while waiting around for the
egg to show up. You’ll have to do some very
careful calendar watching or take an
ovulation test to determine precisely when
you’re ovulating.
Boxers or Briefs?
Sperm are stored “outside” the body for a
reason. They can’t tolerate excessive heat
and the testicles’ independent structure and
considerable surface area keep them safe
from the elevated core temperatures inside
the body. Some people claim that Y-
chromosome sperm (boys) are even less
tolerant of heat than X-chromosome sperm.
So, if you’re trying for a boy, ask your mate
to wear boxers for a while. This will keep
things cool and give his “boys” some
breathing room.
A cool bath or an ice pack to the scrotum
would take matters further, but it’s probably
a rare male who would be that keen on
producing a son.
Crank up the Coffee-Maker
Based on his research, Dr. Shettles says that
you’re more likely to conceive a boy if your
man drinks a strong cup of caffeinated coffee
just before intercourse. Why does this work?
Shettles says he’s not sure—but if anything,
it will give your mate a little extra energy
boost for the deed!
The jury’s not unanimous on whether
caffeine for women trying to get pregnant is
such a good idea, so you might want to opt
for decaf while he goes high-test.
Down Some Cough Syrup
Some people claim that if a woman takes a
dose of cough syrup a couple of hours
before intercourse, she’s more likely to have
a boy. Supporters of this theory say that the
medicine works by thinning the cervical
mucous (just as it thins respiratory mucous
when you have a cough), making conditions
more favorable for sperm, especially those
fast Y swimmers. The key ingredient that
makes this work is guaifenesin, so if you’re
going that route, look for a product that
contains it. http://www.babble.com/pregnancy/conceive-boy/
