How to Improve Your Chances of
Conceiving a Girl
Do you
already have one boy (or several), and now you want to have a girl? Or
perhaps you grew up with only brothers, and always wondered what it would be
like to have a girl?
Some people
choose to leave gender selection to chance, which can be great fun to find out
whether they are having a boy or girl on the day of the birth. However,
some other parents would like to tip the scales in their favor of conceiving a
particular gender. In this particular article, information is
provided on how to increase your chances of having a girl.
So what are the factors that can help
you conceive a girl?
First,
understanding the science behind what creates little boys and little girls is
the easiest way to increase the chances of conceiving the gender of your choice. In
particular, knowing the differences between sperm is what is most important.
So what are the differences in sperm?
As you may
already know, sperm can be X or Y chromosomes. X chromosomes result
in a girl baby when they fertilize the female's egg. Y chromosomes
result in boy babies upon fertilization. The mother's egg always
contains an X chromosome.
X (from
mother) + X (from father) = Girl baby
X (from
mother) + Y (from father) = Boy baby
What other differences exist between
X and Y sperm?
X sperm
chromosomes are heartier and live longer in a woman's body. On the
other hand, Y sperm chromosomes are weaker and do not live as long, dying off
more quickly inside a woman's body. X- Chromosomes also swim more
slowly, compared to Y chromosomes.
Therefore,
to increase your chances to conceive a girl, you will want to ensure that there
are no Y sperm still inside your body so that the X sperm fertilize the egg
when you ovulate.
So how do you make this happen then?
If you want
to have a girl, you need to plan to have sex about two to four days before you
ovulate. By then, the Y sperm will have died off, and the
slower-moving, longer-living X sperm will presumably get to the egg to
fertilize it.
This is just
one factor that can help you in getting pregnant with a girl. For
best results, you need to combine several techniques for higher success. Other
techniques include considering the pH levels of your cervical mucus, what foods
you are eating, and so forth. The best way is to get the information
from someone who has helped many couples to achieve the gender that they desire.
