Have you ever heard the term that someone has the "million dollar family?" What they are referring to is that that family has a child of each gender. This is how others have referred to my family, as I have a daughter and son.
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.
The man's sperm are either X or Y chromosomes. A woman's egg contains X chromosomes. As a result, if the man's X sperm meets with the woman's egg, you will conceive a girl. If the man's Y sperm meets with the woman's egg, you will conceive a boy.
Science has shown that the X and Y sperm move differently, and this affects when you should try to get pregnant. You therefore need to be able to pinpoint accurately when you are ovulating, and this is where ovulation predictor kits and basal body temperature charts can make it easier to track.
Science has also found that certain foods are better at creating boys, while others are better at creating girls. This is because foods affect your body's chemistry and pH.
As with all pregnancies, you want to make sure that your body is ready to get pregnant by reducing stress in your life, and avoiding alcohol and nicotine and other drugs (over-the-counter and illegal).
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!
