From conception to birth a couple’s life will never be the same. Pregnancy is probably the most incredible and exciting time shared by two people, changing your whole point of view not just for nine months but forever. Some couples choose to wait until the day of the baby’s birth to find what the baby’s sex is while on the other hand some choose preconception gender selection. Whatever your decision, make sure it’s a memorable one.

It is very important to keep in mind that the male partner determines the child’s gender. This is attributed to the fact that sperm are both Y and X chromosome bearing while on the other hand the egg is only X chromosome bearing in other words females already have female baby chromosomes that only need a match with another X to produce a baby girl while the joining of the female’s X chromosome with a male Y will produce a baby boy.

Old wives tales on gender selection have been around since the beginning of time, making the myths as old as the pregnancy event itself. The myths vary from making love in doggy style or standing position to having the female reach climax before male should you have a little boy in mind or having sex in missionary style during late afternoons to having the male reach climax before the female should you have a little girl in mind.

The pH level in your vagina and preconception gender selection are direct linked. The higher the acidity in your vagina the greater the chance of having a girl, the more alkaline or even neutral your vaginal pH the better the chances of conceiving a boy.

Natural methods of choosing your baby’s sex are always the preferred choice. These methods include charting and calculating the exact time of ovulation as well as changing your positions during sex. Changes to your diet also has a direct impact on the pH level of your body including your vagina.

One method that is costly but has a high rate of success is known as the Ericsson method, This clinical process is categorized as an artificial preconception gender selection method and consists of sperm sifting and sorting to separate the x and y chromosomes in the man’s sperm.

Before you make your mind up on a specific treatment or method of preconception gender selection you should consult with your health care provider first, due to the fact that some treatments have potentially serious and harmful side effects. Your doctor will not only know what treatment will suit you best, but also have the inside track on the latest treatments or methods available.
