HOW TO HAVE A GIRL BABY?
If you are not interested in genetic engineering or artificial insemination,
there is no certain way of conceiving one gender versus the other. There are,
however, various theories about how to increase your chances of a specific gender.
Selecting Gender
According to surveys more than 90% of expectant parents have a preference in
regard to their unborn child’s gender. The reasons behind the preferences
are varied, and when parents don’t get their wish, they adapt and are
overjoyed to welcome any new baby to their home. But if you are ready for a
girl and want to try to tip the scales, here’s how:
The Shettles Method
Doctor Shettles penned the most popular method designed to increase the chances
of a female. Before beginning the method, you must understand the rationale
behind it. Women produce an egg every month during ovulation. The egg is always
carrying an X chromosome. Two Xs make a girl and one X (the egg) plus one Y
make a boy.
Men are responsible for the second X or Y. Each sperm is assigned one chromosome.
When a male ejaculates, he sends 200-400 million sperm into the vagina that
immediately begin searching for the released egg. Out of those millions, only
one sperm gets the prize, and the chromosome of that one unites with the X of
the egg, and the miracle has begun.
The Shettles method offers instruction on how to get more X-carrying sperm
to the egg and beat out the Ys.
Conceiving a Girl
To actively work at conceiving a girl, you must know your cycle. Chart your
cycle for a couple of months to see what day you begin your period and what
day you are ovulating. You can do this using an ovulation kit or basal temperature.
Then, once you know the day you will ovulate, begin having sex immediately
following the end of your period. Have sex at least once a day until two or
three days before ovulation. Then stop. (Sorry, guys.)
Y-carrying sperm swim faster than X-carrying sperm. The boy-makers also tend
to die out more quickly. By stopping three days before ovulation, you are ensuring
the only sperm left waiting around for the released egg are the longer-lasting,
slow-swimming X-carriers. (Sperm can live up to 5-7 days inside a woman’s
body.) When the remaining sperm meet up with the egg, it is far more likely
an X sperm will get the honors.
Doctor Shettles also suggests having sex in the missionary position to deposit
sperm as close to the entrance of the vagina as possible. He also suggests the
woman not orgasm during sex (Sorry, girls.) An orgasm can make the vaginal environment
alkaline which can kill off sperm more quickly preventing any pregnancy. (by
