How to plan for a baby boy...

karenh by karenh Speaking(June 2006) (rank 500+)

I am wondering if anyone knows of any tips on how to encourage the BOY swimmers to the egg!! I know there is no guarantee of course but I would like to do everything I can to have a boy! Any books, advice welcome. Please e-mail to bxstar6@hotmail.com


I looked into this a bit before we tried to conceive our second child. We had a girl first and I was keen to have a boy second time round.  There is a theory  (I think it is Shettles theory) that says you are more likely to conceive a boy if you have sex on the day of ovulation and more likely to have a girl on the day or two before ovulation. I wasn't too scientific when we tried, I just assumed that as I have a fairly regular 28 day cycle that I must ovulate around day 14 - and the theory worked for me!

Re: How to plan for a baby boy...

Hello,

I researched all venues to conceive a baby Boy 6 months before falling pregnant and i dont think any of it works... Hubby and i followed the diets, did "it" on my ovulations dates, (in the best position) and i was tracking my ovulation with maybe baby plus temp and ovulation kits plus even going to the extreme of making sure i orgasimed and my head was facing north(cant remember what direction it was now) hubby had a big cup of coffee 30 mins before. and the chinese calander was alined. and we had a beautiful and healthy baby Girl... would'nt change her for the world.. i now believe you will have what ever fate intends..  Let Life Take Over and enjoy your precious bundle of joy what ever Gender... those who can have children are simply Blessed :)  Good Luck

Boys swim slower
This is awkward and I will try to be clean ... I read that boy swimmers are slower and need to be placed closer to the target. So, really passionate love making with hubby really digging in and depositing his boys closer to the target could help. In support of this theory I have to say that gentle men (men who seem soft and kind, who probably "make love" and try to be gentle with their partners) who are fathers tend to have mostly girl babies. Probably because they do not deposit in the deeper vaults ... "Manly" men who get in there and put it to it seem to have boy babies .... Probably because their deposits reach the deeper vaults. I don't mean to be vulgar .... just giving advice ... Our boy was concieved around the time of mine and hubbies birthdays / wedding anniversary / Valentine's day ... all of which happen around the same time and if memory is correct it was a passionate union and not just an "ordinary" one .... Hope this helps and I am blushing !

P.S. I did try to email this comment directly so as to be private but could not get it to go through .... Please no one be offended .... It seemed like such good advice because the info mentioned has been studied by doctors and is scientific .... not a proven fact yet but at least based on scientific studies ....  And I am still blushing  hahhaa !
