Natural ideas
A very well informed friend of mine who has had 2 IVF babies (at different times..not twins) told me that during all her fertility treatment etc she was told the following.
The sperm is made 3 months before it is used, during this "storage period" the boy sperm are prone to dieing off pre-ejaculation if they are kept too warm, ie if they were made in summer for example, and undies were worn instead of boxer shorts etc, they may die off a bit.
The boy sperm also swim the fastest, but die the soonest.
Your egg is vable for 72 hours, this is your window of fertilization opportunity.
It is interesting to know, that even perfectly healthy couples, even with a very high or normal sperm count and a healthy prime of life all fine woman can take up to 6 months to conceive at all, let alone the gender of their choice. Smoking and alcohol consumption, drug abuse and stress can all attribute to a lack of sperm being produced. The amount of semen produced has no corrilation to how much Sperm it contains. You have a higher sperm count in the mornings than you do in the evenings. This has been attributed to heat of sitting, toxins you may come in contact with, smoking, alcohol, and the heat of the day.
To Conceive a GIRL it makes sense that if you have the little dudes off and racing prior a couple of days or so prior to your actual day of ovulation (you'll want to track it a few months to be sure I guess), they might swim and die before the egg has been dropped into the fallopian tube, but the girls who live a good while longer (I forget exactly how long, but it's like 12 hours or something substatial like that, I'm sure you could google), keep on swimming, and wallah, one of them finds the newly sprung egg and wam bam thank you mam a girl is conceived..............or so I'm told.
If it is a boy you are after have "relations" frequently (as much as is humanly possible) during your ovulation period, right slap bang on it.
I personally conceived on April 10th 2005 and had a girl on Christmas day.....if it's true about the sperm being made in summer etc, that would be smack on and my hubby is mainly a jeans & jocks wearer even in summer. We had relations only that one time thduring that period of time, which probably helped the girl getting. (I'm an Aussie, Summer is November through to about March & I live in the desert of Western Australia, we get 40-50 degree celcius summer days as relatively common.) |
