Childbirth is often unpredictable and no method is guaranteed to give you the gender of choice unless it is through expensive medical procedures such as artificial insemination. There are many couples that have a preference as to the gender they want to raise and quite often look for natural gender selection methods to help them increase their chances of conceiving a boy or a girl.
However, many couples often feel guilty at the thought of wanting a specific gender but this is not an uncommon thing and it's perfectly natural to have a preference. Besides costly medical procedures, there are natural gender selection methods that although are not 100% guaranteed to work in conceiving the gender of your choice, they do help to significantly put the odds in your favor.
There are many different methods that can increase your chances of conceiving the gender of your choice. One is going high tech through artificial insemination and the other involves natural methods that you can do right in the comfort of your home. High tech methods are generally avoided as they can be very expensive so natural gender selection methods are generally preferred as they cost nothing.
One of the most popular methods is the Shettles method for natural gender selection as it requires exact timing of the woman's ovulation period to determine the gender of the baby. Research has supported the notion that both the male and female producing sperm successfully fertilize the egg in different conditions where a favorable condition to one may be hostile to another.
Therefore, in order to conceive a baby boy sexual positions that promote deep penetration are suggested as it deposits the sperm closer to the cervix and enables it to reach the egg faster. In addition, intercourse should be timed exactly on the day of ovulation. If you want to conceive a baby girl, then the Shettles method suggests having intercourse two to three days prior to ovulation.
The Shettles method is complicated for most couples to attempt since it's difficult to know the exact day of ovulation and to time intercourse exactly. Fortunately, there are ovulation prediction kits that are fairly accurate and will help you to determine ovulation periods. Besides timing intercourse, there are other natural gender selection methods that are based on astrology.
One such method is the use of the Chinese conception chart which uses the mother's age and month of conception based off the lunar calendar that helps to naturally conceive the gender of choice. Of course, like other methods there are some couples who swear by this method and others who believe it has no effect at all. However, you have absolutely nothing to lose by using this method.
Other natural gender selection methods start by focusing on the diet of the couple in order to create a reproductive environment that is favorable to either the male or female sperm. Acidic environments are hostile to male sperm but are favorable to female sperm as they are stronger. Likewise, a more alkaline environment is favorable to conceiving a boy and decreases the chances of producing a girl.
If you choose to go for natural gender selection methods rather than going through expensive medical treatments then you have absolutely nothing to lose by trying these methods at home. A single method by itself is not enough to conceiving the gender of your choice but combined they can help to significantly increase your chances.
