How to Conceive A Boy!!

Hi, My husband and I have a one month baby and 21 mos. toddler and would like to have more children. However, my husband would like to have a boy and I am so scared that we will have to try three or four times before conceiving a boy. His mom had five girls before conceiving a boy!! Everyone is telling me that it runs in the family! I've done some reading that there are several things you can do, but nothing really definite or precise. Any help?:bighug
 
I've also been looking for methods for conceiving a boy. I bought a "boy book" over the internet, giving you the instructions to conceive a boy. However, it's not that easy to follow because you have to put together a chart by taking waking temperature, checking cervical fluid patterns and cervical position everyday. I think you've probably read more or less the same thing from other sources. If you want a copy, I can email you. It's in pdf format.

Given that the “boy book” instruction is a bit tricky, I finally bought a 12-mth conception calendar from www.babychoice.com. According to its theory, the mother’s ovum membrane's receptors have an alternating polarity (energy) which accepts or rejects the "x" or "y" chromosome sperm according to her energy cycle. Its method will identify the days during which the ovum membrane receptors of the mother attract the sperm with the y(boy) or x(girl) chromosome, rejecting the other. The success rate is around 98%. I’m going to start my 1st attempt in July. I don’t know if this method works or not, but as long as the baby is healthy, I would be very pleased. If I could have a boy, it is a bonus!!
 
Good luck to you all.I've heard of baby choice also. Do you mind telling me how much you had to pay for the calendar. If the price was reasonable then I might also consider getting a calendar.
 
So how is the sex of the baby decided?

An egg has 22 chromosomes and 1 sex chromosome known as the X chromosome. A sperm also has 22 chromosomes and 1 sex chromosome which can either be an X or a Y chromosome. It is the sperm?s chromosome that determines the sex of the baby.

A simple way to look at it is like this:

If the egg is fertilised by a sperm containing an X chromosome the baby will be female. Mother X + Father X = XX = Female
If the sperm contains a Y chromosome the baby will be male. Mother X + Father Y = XY = Male.
To date, there is no reliable scientific evidence to support claims made for choosing the sex of the baby, such as when you have sex, sexual positions or diet.
 
dunno if it's true

hi all.. there are many saying.. one of my friend told me that this is a family past down secret to have a BOY.. she said after your period clear, you have sex on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th.... etc. i dunno how reliable is that but her brother did have a son on the first go.

the more scientific way is that the Y sperm swim faster but they won't survive as long as the X sperm. On the other hand the X sperm swim much slower but they can survive much longer in your uterus, up to 4 days. So the way to go is to have sex on your ovulation day, and not to have sex a few days before you ovulates. There are ovulation kits to check when is your ovulation day or you can simply check your body temperature, the day you ovulation, if i remember correctly, your temperature is slighty higher.

there are actually scientific prove that suggest sperm prefer an alkaline environment, so eating alkaline food could help.

i did my research on it when i was trying to get pregnant, but i found out I AM ALREADY pregnant before i could actually test it out. And i just found out last week that I AM going to have a BOY. but i would be as happy if it was a girl.. cos i want my next one to be a girl.

good luck

There is no scientific evidence proving a way to help conceive a boy, but whoever invented that baby choice calendar is smart because they are making a lot of money!

I think that whatever God chooses to give you is what you are supposed to have. If you do have a girl, make sure she doesn't ever feel that she was unwanted or that you wanted a boy as that can do permanent psychological and emotional damage.
 
Hi gigi,

$395 is a good price. I remember that i had asked in hong kong. theya place called choix and they cost over $20k hkd. Thoought it was too expensive so i never got it. I was just wondering at your babycoice. com. do you just order it online. do they need blood sample?
 
Yes, I placed the order online and paid through credit card by faxing my card info over. They need to know your blood type, period cycle, days between ovulation and last period, etc. In fact, you can click to see the application form online, without committing to it at all.
 
Girl!

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but presumably there are a few moms on this thread that have girls......could you give me some tips on how to conceive a girl?! Both scientific and non-scientific ways sound good to me. No harm in trying, right? If it works, Bingo, if it doesn't... I will still love the boy. So please fire on, anything, any method at all! Thanx bunch ladies!

Eating acidic foods, e.g. lemons, oranges, apples etc. is suppose to increase your chances of having a girl! No idea if it works, just what I read.
 
The book "taking charge of your fetility" discusses this topic. The talk about timing sex to coicide with the time of ovulation based on the fast males and slower females. It states when using the methods correctly the chances are 75-80 effective for choosing a girl and 80-90% effective fro choosing a boy. This is a very good book for learning how to take your temp, check cervical fluid and basically how to get preganat using your body's signs of ovulation.
Good Luck!!!
 
Mm.. I heard the same thing from my friends long time ago and they learnt that in their biology class.. I think this may be the most scientific way.

Actually, you can download a trial version of ovulation calendar free online and then you'll know what days you are fertile (i.e. a couple of days with 1 or 2 the most fertile). Have sexual intercourse on your most fertile days may help (but not on other less fertile days). After intercourse, make sure you put a pillow on your bottom and wait for a few minutes before going to the bathroom. This will help sperm swim faster. I understand that sperm Y can survive up to about 24 hours or so where sperm X can survive up to 3 or 4 days in your uterus. Correct me if other experts know different story.

Contrarily, if wanna a girl, have sex on days other than your most fertile days.

Not trying to be expert as I am not, for sure. Just sharing.

Boy or Girl - gender choosing methods

You might be interested in looking at one of my replies to such issues (for both boy and girl wishes). Search for "Chinese Birthing Chart and other gender choosing methods". Hope it helps!
 
The best way to have a boy is to really try for a girl. There is a certain sense of humor to all of this.
We did hear that older couples tend to have boys as do those using fertility meds. No idea if it is true.
 
I know we're free to talk about what ever we want in these forums. But the preconceptioin forum is filled with ladies' upsetting stories concerning difficulties in getting pregnant. Hence I find it a little sad that others are posting questions on how to conceive a boy. Thank god that you are fortunate enough to conceive! Many women are experiencing tears and depression and grief over this issue, what must they think of you lot deliberating over how to conceive a baby boy and not another girl. What a shame to be preganat but with a girl - is that the message we are sending? Many women would give they're right arm to be pregant - boy or girl.
 
Completely agree with you, Loraine.

I understand that most parents like to have a child of each gender. I'm no different from that. However let's bear in mind how extremely blessed we already are to be able to conceive at all.
 
woojoemau - how far along r u to find out the sex?

Hi Woojoemau

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I just wondered how far along are you that you were able to find out the sex of your baby?

Thanks,
