It is often seen that most couples who have boys, desire a female child, and vice versa. While it is difficult to predict what sex the unborn fetus is going to be, science has proven that if you follow a few simple methods, in all probability your dream will come true.

In case you want to conceive a boy, here’s what you need to do:

– The Shettles technique, which is based on genetics, stipulates that the speed of the sperms that carry X and Y chromosomes to the female egg is important. Since the Y chromosome determines a boy, your partner and you need indulge in sexual activities either twelve hours before or after ovulation. This enhances the speed of Y chromosome-carrying sperm.

– As the mother to be, you need to record the nature of your cervical mucus in the pre and post ovulation periods. The pre-ovulation mucus is watery and appears to be elastic. The post-ovulation mucus, on the other hand, is alkaline in nature and helps boost the speed of the Y chromosome.

– Your partner and you also need to indulge in intercourse in a manner so that the male is able to deposit his sperms closer to your cervix. Study videos are available to follow this technique.

– As the female, you are advised to eat plenty of salty foods, red meat, fish and fruits. Avoid dairy products and white bread.

– As the male, you should wear comfortable undergarments and avoid outdoor activities like biking and riding. Soaking in hot tubs is also discouraged. This increases your sperm count as your wife\’s ovulation time nears. If you are unwell or in a generally run down condition, avoid sex as this lowers your sperm count. Having a caffeinated drink half an hour before sex also helps in fathering a lad.

How to be the proud parents of a girl child:

– A girl child is most likely to be conceived if the X chromosome-containing sperm reaches the mother’s ovum first.

– Having intercourse after twelve hours have passed from the female’s ovulation period generally leads to the formation of a female fetus.

– As the mother to be, you need to follow a diet that increases your acidic pH post digestion. This is because the female sperm survives better in acidic conditions and you must refrain from foods that make your system alkaline in nature.

– You can even indulge in douching which increases your acidic ph level. Also determine your current pH value and note that if it’s below 6.5, then there’s cause for concern.

– Also advise your partner not to ejaculate for a period of seven days before having sex. This is because the X chromosome has a longer life and when the time for coitus comes, the man’s semen is most likely to hold multiple older X chromosomes which in all probability will fertilize the ovum and lead to the creation of a female embryo.

– It is important that a the would be mother, you keep track of your ovulation date and time so that you can have sex twelve hours prior or after that.
