Increasing the odds of determining the sex of your child
From the internet: Is there a way to conceive a baby boy?
We now know that there’s nothing you can do in the bedroom to influence whether you have a baby boy or a baby girl. Though there’s a slightly greater chance you’ll have a baby boy (due to the ratio of male to female births), sex positions, timing sex, and your vaginal pH have no bearing.Dec 16, 2021
From Nutrition Investigator:
Most people do not realize how much progress was made before 1988 on how to increase the odds of having a male child. Having had three daughters already, when my wife wanted another child, I agreed, explaining that I would like to have a boy this time, though I would also be happy if the child was a girl.
I spent a few weeks studying the scientific literature and learned the following advice, which I concluded increased the odds of having a boy to 90%.
- The future father should wear loose underwear, boxers, to keep his testicles cool. Male sperm are weaker and do not survive warm temperatures as well.
- Do not have sex very often. That increases the percentage of male sperm.
- Both parents should drink a lot of coffee an hour before having sex together as male sperm prefer the acidic environment coffee provides.
Using Non-Invasive Methods to Choose Gender; Sex Selection with Diet and Determination of Ovulation Time in Iran – 82.95% achieved the wanted gender
Three months before trying to pregnancy, the women were monitored for nutrition and ovulation. Using a combination of high sodium and potassium foods will increase the likelihood of having a male child, and foods with high calcium and magnesium will increase to form a female fetus. Accordingly, the composition of food in the pre-pregnancy period, particularly in women, can change that group’s sex ratio (29,30). Male sperm carrying a chromosome (Y) is smaller than the female sperm carrying a chromosome (X) and hence, has a faster speed; accordingly, sexual intercourse should be done in proportion to the time of ovulation (31,32).
Intercourse in the days before ovulation was recommended to have a daughter (a female child), and attempting to conceive on the day of ovulation was recommended to have a son (a male child).
I also encountered the Shettles method. Key points of the Shettles method include: sex close to ovulation, sperm deposited close to the cervix using positions allowing for deep penetration, alkaline environment in the vagina, woman having an orgasm first
