How to Conceive a Baby Boy

How to conceive baby boy? There are no magical answers to this question, except in a science laboratory. Modern technology has advanced to the point where you can pick the sex of your child in a laboratory. For those seeking a more natural method there are many hints and tips out there, but none are infallible, nature decides. If you are desperate for a boy you must first ask, why? and be prepared to accept a girl.

The spermatozoa of the father wholly determine the sex of a baby. Male sperm live fast and die young, but girl sperm get there eventually and wait around. This leads to the most common and probably successful way of choosing the sex of your child. If you wait until ovulation to try and conceive then the male sperm are more likely to reach the egg first. Boys are more likely to be conceived the day before, the day of, and the day after ovulation. Intercourse earlier in the cycle is more likely to lead to a girl. To use this method you will need an ovulation kit. There are many different ones available, from a simple thermometer to chemically based ones. It is important to buy a good one, and use it carefully, if you are using this method of trying to pick the sex of your baby.

Other recommended methods of conceiving a boy revolve around diets and supplements. The rationale is that by changing the pH of your body you make it more hostile to female sperm. A more acidic environment kills female sperm. Various things are suggested to achieve this aim, eat more meat and less chocolate (sorry), eat fewer vegetables and less fish. Your naturopath can advise on the different herbs that may help with this as well. It may be recommended to use acidic douches before intercourse to achieve this. Be careful here, only use proprietary brands and think of the dangers. I haven't found any good evidence that this method is very good.
