How to Increase Your Chance of having a Baby Boy
The Science of Getting Pregnant
You may think you know all there is to know about how pregnancy actually happens but you might be wrong. In fact, a majority of people are mistaken about what exactly happens for pregnancy to occur. Sure, everyone knows that the man’s sperm has to enter the woman’s egg, but beyond that there is some confusion.
And since it’s important to know the facts in order to understand the rest of this article (and how to increase your chances of conceiving a child of the gender of your choice) let’s take a quick look on how conception actually happens. First of all, a woman has to ovulate in order to get pregnant. Ovulation is when one of the two ovaries in a woman produces at least one egg (and usually only one egg) that then has to be fertilized by a man’s sperm. If an egg is fertilized then pregnancy is the result.
Many people wrongly believe that pregnancy usually or only occurs if intercourse happens during ovulation. In fact, this isn’t true. Chances of conceiving are actually the best when having intercourse 1-5 days before ovulation. Once the actually ovulation occurs, there’s only about a twelve hour window (sometimes the window is as large as twenty-four hours) until the egg can no longer be fertilized. Since sperm can live in the woman’s body for up to 5 days, it’s best to have intercourse well before ovulation occurs. And it’s actually when you have intercourse – hoe long before ovulation or during ovulation - that can help determine whether you conceive a boy or a girl.
The Science of Conceiving a Boy or a Girl
What gender of baby you have is determined totally by the father. All the eggs produced by the woman have the “X” chromosome. Therefore, the gender of the baby is in no way determined by the mother. The gender of the baby is actually determined by whether the egg is fertilized with sperm containing the “Y” chromosome or by sperm containing the “X” chromosome. The sperm containing the “Y” chromosome are said to be “male” sperm while the sperm containing the “X” chromosome are said to be “female” sperm.
So when the male sperm (sperm with the “Y” chromosome) fertilizes the egg then a boy is the result. When the female sperm (sperm with the “X” chromosome) fertilizes the egg then a girl is the result. The male and female sperm are also different in the way they move and the way they are built. The male sperm tend to be smaller, lighter, quicker, and more fragile. Conversely, the female sperm tend to be larger, heavier, slower, and tougher. Knowing the differences between male and female sperm means that you can time when you have intercourse and plan how you have intercourse to help the chances of either the male or female sperm fertilizing the egg.
Eating the Proper Foods
Studies over the last several years have shown that what you eat can actually affect what type of sperm (male or female) a woman’s egg attracts. So depending on what you eat your egg could either attract sperm that will cause you to conceive a boy or your egg could attract sperm that would cause you to conceive a girl. Let’s take a look at the types of food you should eat depending whether you wish to conceive a boy or a girl.
Foods to Eat to Conceive a Boy
As I already mentioned, certain foods can cause your eggs to attract either male or female sperm. This is because products of the earth give off a natural electrical charge. To encourage the egg to attract the male sperm, you (the woman) should eat foods that are high in potassium and sodium. You should begin eating these foods at least six weeks before you plan on conceiving. This will give your body plenty of time to absorb the necessary potassium and sodium.
Foods that are very high in potassium include:
● Meat and fish
● Fruits – apricots, avocados, bananas, cantaloupes, honeydews, kiwis, oranges (including orange juice), and prunes
● Vegetables – lima beans, potatoes, spinach, and tomatoes, and winter squash.
● Vegetable juice
● Milk
Foods that are high in sodium include:
● Meat (including some fish) – anchovies, bacon, caviar, dried beef, chipped beef, corned beef, ham, bacon, Canadian bacon, canned meats, lunch meats, pepperoni, sardines, and smoked salmon.
● Cheese
● Canned and dried soups (including broth)
● Tomato products – tomato sauce, tomato paste, tomato juice
● Snacks and party foods – chips, dips, salted nuts, salted popcorn, and salted pretzels.
● Vegetables – lima beans, frozen peas, pickles, olives, sauerkraut, and any other vegetable prepared in brine.
● Chinese food prepared with MSG
Again, fill your diet with any foods, such as the ones listed above, beginning at least six weeks before you plan to conceive a baby, and you will greatly increase your chances of having a baby boy nine months after conception.
Assuming the Position
As I mentioned a few pages ago, there are differences between the socalled male and female sperm. That is, sperm containing the “Y” chromosome is physically different and moves differently that sperm containing the “X” chromosome. If you remember, male sperm or sperm containing the “Y” chromosome is smaller, lighter, quicker, and more fragile. Female sperm or sperm containing the “X” chromosome is larger, heavier, slower, and tougher. Knowing that these characteristics exist, we can take it a step farther and know that the male sperm will rush to fertilize the egg (if possible) while the female sperm will be slower to travel up and fertilize the egg. However, while the male sperm is faster it will also die quicker. Therefore, we know that the female sperm will live longer and will have a longer duration when it’s possible for the sperm to fertilize the egg. There are two ways that you can use this knowledge to your advantage. The first way is to change the position you use to have intercourse.
Let’s take a look a couple different positions that will favor either conceiving a boy or a girl.
Sexual Positions to Conceive a Boy
Okay, so now we know more about the male sperm. Two of male sperm’s characteristics – they’re quicker and more fragile – are important to helping us conceive a boy. If given the right environment, the male sperm should be able to beat the female sperm to the egg and fertilize it. Thus you would conceive a boy. The vagina is naturally acidic and therefore not very hospitable to sperm. Unfortunately the acidic nature of the vagina has a bigger effect on male sperm than female sperm because the male sperm is the most fragile. In other words, the female sperm have a much better chance of surviving than do the male sperm.
So, what does this tell us?
Well, obviously it tells us that we need to give the male sperm the best chance of surviving. So to do this we need to try to get the male sperm as high in the vagina as is possible. That means you want to have the man’s penis penetrate as far into the woman as possible. That way you can hopefully get the sperm above the neck of the cervix. This is where it’s less acidic and the sperm (primarily the male sperm) have the best chance of surviving.
Three Sexual Positions for Deep Penetration
One possible position for the deep penetration of the penis is to the so-called “doggie style”. If you’re not familiar with this position, “doggie style” is when the woman is on all fours and the man enters her vagina from the back. The woman can also be standing and bend over to allow the man to enter her vagina from behind. Another position you can try is the “spread eagle”. With this position the woman lies on her stomach and spreads her legs as far apart as possible. Then the man enters her vagina from behind. He then can either place his weight on the woman or he can hold himself up on his hands or elbows.
Both of the above positions put the man in control and allow for deep penetration of the penis. The man being in control helps because he knows exactly when he is about to ejaculate and can thrust his penis deep into the vagina while he ejaculates. It’s important that the man ensures deep penetration as he ejaculates so that the sperm gets up above the neck of the cervix. One position that can be used that puts the woman in control and allows for deep penetration is with the woman on top.
This is sometimes referred to as “the astride position”. For this position the man lies on his back and the woman sits astride him with her legs on each side. The woman then lowers herself to the man so that his penis penetrates her vagina. With the woman on top it’s important for the man to communicate when he’s about to ejaculate so that the woman can press down and ensure the deepest penetration possible.
Try to Achieve Simultaneous Orgasm
When the woman achieves orgasm, the body naturally reduces the acidity in the vagina in order to make a friendlier environment for the sperm. Since it’s important to do everything possible to keep the fragile male sperm safe when you’re trying to conceive a boy, then you should try to orgasm simultaneously.
That way the male sperm have a good environment to survive in. Hopefully you and your partner already know what to do to get you (the woman) to orgasm. If not, you should openly discuss how you want him to touch you and what you want him to do in order to make you orgasm. Often the best position for a woman to orgasm is with the woman on top (“the astride position”). This allows the woman to be in control and to move how she needs to move to achieve the greatest pleasure, which will hopefully lead to orgasm for both partners. The other advantage “the astride position” gives you and your partner is that your partner has his hands free to touch you how and where you prefer. A great many women are helped toward orgasm by having their breasts and nipples fondled. From this position your breasts can also be licked and sucked on by your partner. All of this often helps a woman achieve orgasm.
