For many people, voicing this wish would seem almost ungrateful. Some would say that if you have children, you are lucky enough as it is and wanting to have the luxury of choosing your baby’s gender is somewhat presumptuous. However, only those who have been in this situation can really understand what it’s like to have a deep, aching longing for not just any baby, but a girl or boy to complete your family.

There are various simple steps you can take which will dramatically increase your chances of conceiving a baby of your desired sex. Most of these center around knowing about the mechanics of conception and the nature and differences between male and female sperm.

Male sperm (Y sperm) is fast and small but does not survive for very long. It also prefers mildly alkaline conditions.  Female sperm, on the other hand, is larger and slower but can survive for longer and prefers acidic conditions.

This information is invaluable if you are choosing your baby’s gender. To have a boy, have intercourse as close to ovulation as possible to maximize the chances of the fast male sperm reaching the egg first. To conceive a girl, have intercourse a couple of days before ovulation so that the slow female sperm will be waiting for the newly released egg whereas the male sperm will have perished after a few hours.  

PH testing strips (available online) can be very helping in choosing your baby’s gender by determining whether the vagina is acidic (favoring a female) or alkaline (favoring a male). If the levels are not conducive for a baby of the sex of your choice, there are mild douches you can use and slight dietary alterations to help sway the odds in your favor.

If you would like to see tried-and-tested methods which will help you choose the sex of your baby, there is an excellent guide which is based on scientific rather than anecdotal principles. It includes dietary information and the exact gender clinic douche recipe which normally retails at $450.

“How To Pick You baby’s gender” by Rebecca Washburn recommends using a multifaceted approach when trying to get pregnant. It is well known, for example, that to have a boy, intercourse should happen as close to ovulation as possible. However, although the timing of intercourse may well tip the odds in your favor, what sets this guide apart is the way in which it combines several approaches <b>at once</b> to give yourselves the best possible chance of conceiving the child of your choice. Indeed what it does is to remove any “margin for error”.

The only criticism I would have is that the very scientific approach does actually make intercourse feel a little mechanical, but when you think of the bigger picture and visualize having your baby boy or girl, this fades into insignificance.
