Swaying A Baby’s Gender
Having a baby is a wonderful thing, and most moms and dads are ecstatic whether their little bundle of joy is a boy or a girl. However, sometimes, for a plethora of reasons, a couple might have an inclination to “sway” a baby’s gender and push a little bit harder for a boy or a girl. There are lots of ways that some couples swear by to get pregnant with either a boy or a girl, so read on to get some ideas!
Getting Pregnant with A Girl
If you are after a nursery full of pink, there are many ways that you can try to increase your chances of getting pregnant with a girl. First of all, girl sperm prefer an acidic environment, so do what you can do to make that happen.
How do you do that? It’s actually pretty easy: eat lots of acidic foods. Acidic foods are exactly what you would expect them to be- things like chocolate, vinegar, soda and fruits. Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that girl sperm have a longer life span than boy sperm.
You can use this fact to your advantage by planning to have sex accordingly. To get pregnant with a girl, plan to have sex about two or three days before ovulation. This will allow the boy sperm to die before ovulation occurs, but the girl sperm will still be ready to be fertilized.
Getting Pregnant with A Boy
Getting pregnant with a boy, as you might imagine, is pretty much the opposite of getting pregnant with a girl. Instead of creating an acidic environment in the vagina, you will need to create a more alkaline environment. Do this by eating more alkaline foods, such as mushrooms, apples, bananas and almonds.
This will level out the acidic environment of the vagina. The boy sperm live a shorter life span, so you have to plan for that. They only live for around 24 hours, so make sure to plan your sexual encounters accordingly and have sex on the day of ovulation. Also, to have a boy, you need to try to have sex in positions that will allow for deeper penetration to get the faster moving, short living boy sperm to the egg as fast as possible.
What To Remember
There are many “low tech” ways of trying to conceive either a boy or a girl. If that isn’t your style, there are also a few high-tech ways to try to “sway” the gender of your baby. There are some options, like sperm sorting that can help you to have a more “concrete” idea of whether you will have a boy or a girl.
With sperm sorting, the boy and girl sperm are separated in the lab. Then, the preferred sperm will be inserted via either IUI or IVF therapy treatments.
