It is fair to say that most couples prefer to have a baby
boy even though they would still be happy getting a baby girl. However, others
don’t have a preference as long as the baby is healthy. There are various reasons
why a person would prefer to conceive a baby of a particular gender, which is
okay. So, for those looking forward to having a baby boy, we have a few tips
for you. However, one needs to keep in mind that it is not 100% guaranteed to
conceive a baby boy despite following the information. The upside is that you
raise the probability or rather chances of conceiving a baby boy.
Proper timing
This means having intercourse on the ovulation day and
preferably twelve hours before the woman starts ovulating. Why is this
necessary, you may ask?
According to science, the female chromosome in the sperm
cell is more resilient than the male one. Therefore, having intercourse on the
ovulation day gives the male cell, which is faster but vulnerable, enough
survival time to reach and fertilize the ovum. Another reason why chances of
conceiving a baby boy are higher on the ovulation day than two or three days
prior is that the sperms cells carrying the Y chromosome tend to be more
fragile compared to the female X chromosome. Hence, they can die during the
race to fertilize the egg.
Positions that allow deep penetration
The position that favors deep penetration is essential as it
reduces the distances the male sperm has to travel before reaching the egg.
Therefore, the deep penetration allows ejaculation to happen nearer the cervix
compared to shallow penetration. The closer the sperm is to the cervix, the easier
it is for the male sperm to find the ovum.
Ladies First
During intercourse, it would be beneficial if the woman gets
to orgasm before the man ejaculates. This is because, during female orgasm, the
secretion released is alkaline in nature and is proven to increase the chances
of the male sperms’ survival hence increase the chances of conceiving a baby
boy.
Go big on alkaline foods and slow on acidic ones
As we have seen from the third tip, alkaline conditions tend
to favor the Y chromosome (male), allowing it to swim faster and survive
longer. Therefore, foods such as vegetables and fruits like bananas are good
sources of Potassium and Alkali.
Try while still young
This is true for both men and women. In men, the sperm cell
count is higher at a young age hence increasing the chances of a male sperm
reaching and fertilizing the egg. As for women, more alkaline cervical fluid is
produced when young and reduces as they age. Therefore, it is wise to try
conceiving a baby boy when the conditions are still favorable for a boy.
In conclusion, all genders make great kids, but if you like
to plan ahead, then good for you. All the best, and may you make a bouncing
baby boy!
