Having a child is a blessing, regardless of gender. However, for some, it is a dream to have a baby girl.  There can be many reasons for this wish.  Perhaps they have already had a baby boy or many baby boys?  Maybe they just prefer to have a girl?  Whatever the reason, this article will help you make that wish true!  Read on and learn more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a number of tips that can help make your chances of conceiving a baby girl almost 100%. Provided below are tips on PH and vaginal acidity, ovulation timing, and sexual intercourse positioning to help increase the chances of conceiving a baby girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit the &lt;a href="http://www.snipurl.com/conceivebabygirl"&gt;Conceive a Baby Girl&lt;/a&gt; guide for detailed steps and tips on exactly how to conceive a girl!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Trying to Conceive a Baby Girl | Reasoning Behind the Tips&lt;/h2&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Tip #1:  Increase Vaginal PH When Trying to Conceive a Baby Girl&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Tip #2:  Ovulation Timing When Trying to Conceive a Baby Girl&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=iwilusesquand-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;asins=B0000532PO" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Tip #3: Sexual Intercourse Positioning When Trying to Conceive a Baby Girl&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://snipurl.com/conceivebabygirl" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_flvGxoaUjdc/Sps6sPIPRNI/AAAAAAAAABQ/zuwUmFV4Wok/s320/bg_bigarrowlink.gif" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="bigarrow"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Here's my favorite link:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://snipurl.com/conceivebabygirl" target="_blank"&gt;Conceive a Baby Girl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7523146533735837557-7745610119590218922?l=topicjunction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7523146533735837557/posts/default/7745610119590218922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7523146533735837557/posts/default/7745610119590218922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topicjunction.blogspot.com/2010/01/trying-to-conceive-baby-girl.html' title='Trying to Conceive a Baby Girl'/><author><name>Brian Beswick</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_flvGxoaUjdc/Sps6sPIPRNI/AAAAAAAAABQ/zuwUmFV4Wok/s72-c/bg_bigarrowlink.gif' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7523146533735837557.post-159579406035362616</id><published>2010-01-08T08:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-20T13:35:28.715-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Castle Age Guide: Everything You Need to Know!</title><content type='html'>This Castle Age guide provides information on the various statistics and actions that you can select in the game. If you are not familiar with Castle Age, it is an online multiplayer game (MMO) that is hosted on the world famous Facebook. It takes place in a fantasy world filled with elves, angels, dragons, knights, and other creatures. The objective of the game is to level up by finishing quests and battling other players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below, I have included a very useful, simplified version of a guide originally written by Lena Gkika.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align = "center"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_flvGxoaUjdc/S00oKNz48KI/AAAAAAAAAEk/oNwg-4O0T4k/s320/castle-age-guide.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Castle Age Guide: What to Focus on Initially&lt;/h2&gt;When initially starting the game, focus on building an army and increasing your bank balance. This will allow you to buy the weapons and armor you require to defeat your oponents. When you income increase (i.e past 2 mils), try to buy weapons and armor in bulk so that it will cost you less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Castle Age Guide: Battle Types&lt;/h2&gt;There are two battle types, dueling and invading. It is recommended to always select your strongest general in charge when logging off the game. The reason is because dueling uses your active general. Dueling will also use on of the following items: helm, armor, amulet, weapon, shield, and spell. Invading will use as many units as your army size, and one item and spell for each of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way you battle is up to you. Duels offer better chances to those with small armies but high personal stats, while invasions favour those with large armies and good equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Castle Age Guide: Army Size&lt;/h2&gt;The maximum number of units you can take with you to a battle is 501. However you are allowed to have more than 501 persons in your army.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Castle Age Guide: Questing&lt;/h2&gt;There are different quests and lands available to all players. Each area is unlocked after 4/5 of the previous land’s quests are completed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Castle Age Guide: Demi-Powers&lt;/h2&gt;Demi-Powers are deities or gods that can aid you in your struggles. There are 5 demi-powers, each of whom has a unique role and can provide you with powerful benefits when you ask for their blessings. For example, Malekus is the demi-power of war, and you will gain 1 attack point each time you pray to him. In addition to these stat boosts, praying to the demi-powers will also unlock exclusive quests and provide you with powerful items and magic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Castle Age Guide: Favour Points&lt;/h2&gt;Favour points can be won through buying them, application additions, free surveys, and rewards. You can use them in many different ways, but they would be most effectively spent on spells or generals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Castle Age Guide: Defense&lt;/h2&gt;The recommended defense strategy is to invest in equipping a large army while also increasing defense skill. There is a trick if you have small army or just don’t want bad statistics. If you are under ten health, you can logout and will not be touched until the next time your login.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Castle Age Guide: Spying&lt;/h2&gt;You can view somone elses profile to see what land or weapons they have. However, your opponent will be notified that you are viewing their profile. This may result in an attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Castle Age Guide: Magic&lt;/h2&gt;You can win magic by doing the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Getting them as gifts from friends&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Doing special quest in land of Mist to gain the Lightning Storm Spell (35% drop, can be used only once)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Doing the 1st demi quest of Ambrosia and Corvintheus for energy bolts (can be done many times)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Getting demi rewards from gathering demi points for the gods.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Buying from Oracle&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Unlocking Spells that can be bought in Town by achieving high battle ranks&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://snipurl.com/copythatgame" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_flvGxoaUjdc/Sps6sPIPRNI/AAAAAAAAABQ/zuwUmFV4Wok/s320/bg_bigarrowlink.gif" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="bigarrow"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Here's my favorite link:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://snipurl.com/bigfishgames" target="_blank"&gt;Big Fish Games&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7523146533735837557-159579406035362616?l=topicjunction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7523146533735837557/posts/default/159579406035362616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7523146533735837557/posts/default/159579406035362616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topicjunction.blogspot.com/2010/01/castle-age-guide-everything-you-need-to.html' title='Castle Age Guide: Everything You Need to Know!'/><author><name>Brian Beswick</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_flvGxoaUjdc/S00oKNz48KI/AAAAAAAAAEk/oNwg-4O0T4k/s72-c/castle-age-guide.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
