Effortless Ways to Conceive a Boy
Whether you are trying for your first child, or have a room full of daughters and want to make sure your next baby will be a son you've probably heard that there are ways that you can help sway Mother Nature in your favor in choosing the gender of your child.
Different positions, certain foods, even timing ovulation can all help in determining what sex your baby will be.
It all sounds so complicated doesn't it? Well never fear because I'll go over some of the ways you can conceive a boy effortlessly.
But before we get to that, I thought I'd give you a little biology lesson so you can understand the workings of conception.
Don't worry - it won't be as bad as when your parents sat you down for the birds and the bees talk, but there are a few things you need to know to help you get that baby boy.
You see it's the guy's sperm that determines what sex your child is going to be.
You'll either get an X chromosome sperm (girl sperm) or Y chromosome sperm (boy sperm) to reach the egg first and make that baby.
So if you want a male baby then you'll need to make sure that the Y sperm reaches the egg first.
So how do you do that? Well luckily we know that the Y male sperm is very fast and all things being equal in a race would be the first to reach the finish line.
However he isn't very strong and if he hasn't got to an egg in time, will often die within a day or two.
This brings us to the X female sperm.
She isn't so fast, but lives much longer - often up to 5 days.
She can be waiting around happily biding her time until the egg comes along and jump on her chance to fertilize it.
So how does all this help you have a boy baby? Well you need to be able to time things correctly.
Obviously your best chances of getting pregnant with a male baby is by having sex as close to ovulation as possible so that the X sperm can get to the egg first.
You can try also different positions that put the sperm right at the entrance to the cervix so they won't have as far to go.
All of these ways to conceive a boy can help you get one step closer to your dream of having the child of your choice.
It's all down to timing and knowing how the different sperm act.
