Tips to influence the gender of your baby

It is only normal for expecting parents to either hope for a little baby girl or hope for a little baby boy.  Sure what really matters is that the baby is healthy, but there will always be a certain preference for a certain couple.  If you play your cards right, you can do more than just hope.  Here are some tips and techniques on choosing the gender of your baby.  Although these may not be 100% accurate, these will at the very least tip the odds in your favor (meaning the favored gender to be exact).  So take the time and read on.

MicroSort

MicroSort, just as the name implies, is a highly advanced process of sorting the sperm into two categories- the X bearing sperms and the Y bearing sperms.  Basically, this means that it can separate the boy producing sperms from the ones that produce girls through the Flow Cytometry technique.  Fact is that X chromosomes have more DNA than Y chromosomes hence making the former just a little bit larger than the latter.  Microsort will then separate the sperms based on size.  After this, intrauterine insemination, IUI, or in vitro fertilization is done to get the woman pregnant.

Research and statistic show that there has been a 92% success rate of women conceiving a girl and an 81% success rate of women conceiving a boy using this method.

Shettles Method

This method, on the other hand, is totally natural.  The whole theory is based on the fact that the X and Y bearing sperms are very different when it comes down to how fast it travels and how long it survives in the reproductive tract.  Basically, the method goes as follows.  If you want to have a boy, you should try to conceive 12 hours before ovulation while if you want to have a girl, you should try several days before.  This is because the boy producing sperms are much faster than the girl producing sperms however, they also die out much quicker too.  That is why is you want to have a girl, you have to time it a couple of days before ovulation, let’s say 2 or 3 days, because chances are that the boys sperms will die out before making it to the “finish line”.  So if you want to have a boy, 12 hours before ovulation is best because they travel faster than the girl producing sperms so chances are that a boy producing sperm will win the race.

Ashley Spencer Gender Selection Book

Last but not the least is the Ashley Spencer Gender Selection Book.   Basically, this is a 45 page book that will guide you in 3 steps to selecting the gender of your choice.  First is all about the proper timing and PH levels.  The second step pertains to certain diet adjustments.  The third is all about specific intercourse positions.

This book is actually based on the writer’s firsthand experience on trying to conceive a baby girl and ultimately getting just what she and her husband wanted.

Many couples who want to have a baby of specific sex either male or female are beginning to have the option to choose baby gender. Gender selection, has been seen both as an intriguing yet controversial subject to discuss. Many people feel that being able to choose your baby’s gender takes away some of the surprise and anticipation of the birth event.

Many couples these days are taking it upon themselves to choose the gender of their baby. The reasons are not all based on the fact that they really want a girl or they feel they can handle a boy better. Gender selection began as a way to weed out any genetic illnesses that had been linked to certain sexes. Certainly, no parent would want a child to suffer if it can be avoided.

People in such countries as the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia are all being given the chance to choose the sex of their child. Could gender selection be the cure to human illnesses that afflict only one gender and not the other? If so, it could be a way to avoid having to live a life that is full of suffering and pain.

Many ancient cultures have homespun techniques and even herbal preparations for conceiving a child of a desired sex. These traditions have been passed from generation to generation and continue to be practiced all around the globe. Widely used methods to choose baby gender typically include some analysis of basal temperature and ovulation cycles.

Some people argue that if everyone is given the right to choose baby gender then eventually one sex will over populate the other. There are no facts that can prove this proposition as being true or not. Not everyone who is interested in gender selection is trying to conceive only boys or only girls at the same time. Even so, no method is currently completely foolproof.

There will always be families who crave a baby boy or baby girl to balance an existing family unit. Perhaps there are families who already have one or two boys and really want a little girl or the reverse can be just as true. There is no hard and fast rule that everyone is looking to have only boys or only girls.

The surprise factor goes along with a pregnancy is gone, but for many parents they are fine with this aspect. It makes setting up things for their new baby a lot easier and it decreases the need to worry about the child inheriting a gender-related illness.
