Having a Boy or Girl – Ways to Improve The Chances of Choosing The Gender

Do you want a million dollar family? This is the coin termed to refer to families who have a boy and girl. I first heard this term when I gave birth to my second child, as I had had one of each gender.

Even if you are not after the million-dollar family, you may have some desire for one gender more than the other. When birth control was limited or really non-existent, parents had many children and knew that they had pretty good chances of having children of both genders. However, we now have less children, so if we want to influence the gender we get, we need to get it right the first time.

It’s no wonder then that prospective parents are looking for a way of increasing their chances of having a boy or girl! We only get a few chances, and we want to make sure that we maximize our attempts!

Fortunately, today’s science has made it easier to understand how girl and boy babies are conceived and how you can use that science to your advantage when choosing your baby’s gender.

After all, it is the male partner who determines the gender of the baby. Men’s sperm can be X or Y chromosomes; when an X combines with the woman’s egg (X), a girl baby (XX) results. Whereas, when a Y combines with the woman’s egg (X), a boy baby (XY) results.

Scientists have found that X and Y differ in their motility, and therefore timing your conception is an important factor to consider. You have to know when you ovulate so that you can figure out when it is the appropriate time to have sexual intercourse.

As well, you should be eating foods that are more conducive to having a boy or girl baby. This really does support the saying that “we are what we eat,” doesn’t it?

Another important, but often overlooked, thing that you need to do is limit stress in order that your body functions at its maximum level. Also be sure not to use cigarettes, drugs, and alcohol.

In conclusion, you are able to increase your chances of having a boy or girl baby by following some specific guidelines. There are several other specific techniques that you will want to follow to make your dreams come true!
