Trying to Conceive a Baby Girl | Reasoning Behind the Tips
Before trying to conceive a baby girl, you should try to understand the reasoning behind the tips provided. In order to make the most sense regarding the tips provided, I will first need to go over some of the characteristics about the X and Y chromosomes.The female egg always contains the X chromosome where as the male sperm can contain a X or Y chromosome. Now, if a sperm containing a X chromosome fertilizes the egg, the gender of the baby will be female. However, if a sperm containing a Y chromosome fertilizes the egg, the gender of the baby will be male. Simple enough right? Well keep reading, there is a little more to it than meets the eye!
When trying to conceive a baby girl, you must realize that the female producing sperm (X chromosome), are slower than the male producing sperm (Y chromosome). To compensate for their slow speed, the female producing sperm are a lot tougher. They can survive in the vaginal tract a lot longer and withstand the acidic vaginal PH. These two facts were the basis for the tips provided below.
Tip #1: Increase Vaginal PH When Trying to Conceive a Baby Girl
When trying to conceive a baby girl, your best chance for success is to increase the vaginal PH level so that it is more acidic. This will make it harder for the male producing sperm to survive, giving the female producing sperm a much greater chance to fertilize the egg. Two ways in which you can increase acidity of the vagina is by eating certain food and/or douching.
In order to increase the acidity through meals, you should eat food rich in calcium and magnesium. Avoid foods high in potassium and sodium as these will only decrease the acidity level decreasing your chances of conceiving a baby girl.
Another way to make your PH higher is through douches. Some clinics sell these douches and they can be pretty expensive. However, the good news is that there are recipes that allow you to get the same results at home.
Tip #2: Ovulation Timing When Trying to Conceive a Baby Girl
As mentioned above, we know that girl producing sperm can last a lot longer in the vaginal tract. Therefore, when trying to conceive a baby girl, you should take advantage of this knowledge by trying to conceive three days before actual ovulation takes place. This way, the majority of the boy sperm should die off since they cannot survive as long. Then when the egg is released, the girl producing sperm can fertilize the egg
In order for this tip to work, you need to know exactly when you ovulate. In order to determine when you ovulate, there are a number of ovulation predictors available in the market that can be used. The one I recommend is the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor Test shown below. It is inexpensive, highly accurate, and the product has received great reviews on Amazon.
Tip #3: Sexual Intercourse Positioning When Trying to Conceive a Baby Girl
When trying to conceive a baby girl, you should always use intercourse positions that give the boy producing sperm a further distance to travel. What this means is that you should have shallow penetration in your positions. By following this tip, it will take the boy producing sperm a longer time to get to the egg. This will increase the chances of the boy producing sperm dying prior to reaching the egg since they do not live as long in the vaginal tract.
