Baby Gender Selection
It is amazing that over 80% of couples trying to conceive a baby state that if they could, they would pick the gender of their baby. While every baby is a blessing and a gift, many of us can’t deny that when we think about getting pregnant or think back to when we were pregnant that we wished for a baby girl or a baby boy. For some reason, we just felt it important… or more ideal to have one over the other.
There are a few things that you can do medically to help increase the likelihood of having one gender over the other. They are expensive and rather inconvenient. Most often they require you to get pregnant their invitro fertilization or other medical means.
However, if you are set on having a baby boy instead of baby girl, you may want to talk with your doctor about the different procedures, their effectiveness and the outcome percentages. Some have said that the only way you can absolutely guarantee that you have the baby you want is to adopt, there are others that are willing to give a number of old fashioned recommendations a try.
Some of those methods include the Shettles method. This can be used to have a boy or a girl, though overall it is more successful for conceiving a girl. The method was created by a doctor and there is some sound medical advice the supports the theories. Though it is not 100%.
There are also people that believe baby gender selection can be left to the foods that you consumer. Creating a more alkaline or more acidic environment makes it more favorable for one sex over the other. Some favorite foods if you want to have a girl include sweets and fresh veggies, whereas if you are looking to have a boy then you want to go for salty snacks and red meat.
Some people have said that the date of the month, odd or even, will impact the sex of the baby. There are other people that believe the phases of the moon can impact whether you have a boy or a girl. Different sexual positions can impact whether you are having a girl or a boy as well as who has the orgasm first, or if the woman should have one at all.
Many medical professionals even recommend that when a couple is trying to conceive that the man changes the undergarments he wears. Instead of wearing briefs he needs to wear boxers to help keep the treasure cool.
You may also find it interesting to know that while men do produce less sperm as they age, the sperm that they have only lives for three months.
So when couples go to the doctor to discuss ways to increase their chances of conceiving the doctors are going to look at the age of the women. Ladies the eggs you have when you are 35 are the same eggs you had when you were just a fetus in your mom’s womb.
There is nothing wrong with trying different things to influence the sex of your baby. Secretly we all wish we have control over the baby gender selection process.
