If you've found this article, you're either trying to get pregnant, want a boy baby, or both. So, I'll provide you with tips on how to accomplish both of these goals. Since you're trying to get pregnant anyway, you may as well tweak your efforts a little bit to get the gender that you want. I'll tell you how to do this below.
Getting Pregnant With A Boy Requires The Most Precise Timing And The Most Preparation, But It's Not As Hard As You Think:
Most people will tell you that in order to get pregnant, you need to pinpoint your fertility window and then have intercourse as many times as possible before the window closes, hoping that one of these attempts will reward you with a pregnancy. This will work perfectly fine if you'll be content to get either gender.
However, if you are dead set on a son, this method will increase the odds of your having a girl. Why? Because the sperm that produces a boy is much different from the ones that will give you a daughter. Daughter (or X) sperm are very long lived, but slow. Son (or Y) sperm are weak and vulnerable, but also fast. This provides nature with needed balance, but it also provides you with opportunity.
If you conceive on the early part of your fertility window, you're allowing many viable, otherwise perfectly good boy sperm to die off before they could result in a pregnancy and you're filling your fertility tract with hardy girl sperm that have no trouble surviving for days.
So, to conceive a boy, you'll need to pinpoint the end of your window - this means the day of (or the day after) ovulation. Yes, this technically "wastes" fertile days, but with the right tools, it doesn't necessarily matter as much as you think.
For gender selection that really works, you have to be very precise. You can do this by getting a reliable ovulation predictor (I like saliva because I find it the most accurate) but get what works for you. Old fashioned methods like basal temperature, the rhythm method, and cervical mucus leave much to be desired in my opinion because they don't give you the exact yes / no answer that you need.
Other Ways To Get Pregnant With A Son: Intercourse Positioning:
Without a doubt, timing is essential, but it is not the only thing you'll need to address. You'll want to send the Y sperm to their target as quickly and efficiently as you can because they are weak. So, have intercourse in such a way that places this sperm as close to your cervix as is feasible (deep penetration). This allows those fast little fellows every advantage.
Making Your PH Lower / Becoming Less Acidic And More Alkaline:
Even if you do everything I've already mentioned (timing, intercourse positions), there's still one more variable to address. You need to handle the Y sperm as gently as possible. The final way to do this is to lower your vaginal acidity. The reason for this is because boy sperm can't withstand a high PH. So, to give these guys the best chance, you'll need to become more alkaline. So many couples are scared off by this step, but there is no reason to be. Again, the right tools make all of the difference. And, the best tool here is a PH tester that you can get at nutrition centers or on-line.
Once you use this, you'll know where you stand. If you test and end up being acidic or need to make alterations, don't worry, you can change this. One way to lower is through consuming an alkaline diet. (Yes, this requires a diet for a small period of time, but it will be worth it.) The second way to get into the "boy zone" is by using alkalizing douches (and this is usually more than baking soda.) Now, this isn't as hard as it sounds. There are lists that will tell you what foods to eat and which douches to use.
The beauty of this process is that you can tweak it and change it as needed and continue to test yourself. You can easily see what is working and what is not (most people have the best, fastest results using both food and douching methods).
It is said that if you address all of these variables, you can increase your chances for a boy conception to as high as about 94%. And, you'll know, without a doubt, and without needing to guess, precisely when the time is right for you to get pregnant with the boy baby that you want.
