For any couple who would like to have a baby boy then their chances of doing so is much higher than they would have thought. According to a lot of research carried out the chances for any couple to have a boy rather than a girl is very high indeed. Yet if they were to learn about when is the best time to conceive a boy this will further increase their chances of doing so.

There are certain techniques that one can try and which will further boost the chances of a couple when trying to conceive a boy rather than a girl. In this article we look at just a couple of the methods a couple may want to consider using when attempting to have a baby boy. In both of the methods we discuss in the article we explain when is the best time to conceive a boy.

Method 1 – The Shettles Method

Through using this technique a couple is attempting to ensure that the sperm containing Y chromosomes is able to reach the egg before the sperm containing X chromosomes. Generally the sperm that contains Y chromosomes moves more quickly than that which contains the X chromosomes and this is something that couples will need to factor into the lovemaking if they are attempting to conceive a baby boy rather than a baby girl.

The book “How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby: The Method Best Supported by Scientific Evidence” written by Dr Shettles recommends that couples have intercourse during the 24 hours when a woman has begun to ovulate and that no intercourse should take place 12 hours after her ovulation period has finished.

Along with providing definitive times when it would be best to have intercourse for a couple wishing to conceive a baby boy, Dr Shettle also recommends that when intercourse takes place the man penetrates the woman as deeply as he can. This way the more aggressive Y chromosomes sperm is closer to the cervix and so is in a position that places them closer to the egg in order to fertilize it.

Method 2 – The Whelan Method

This particular technique was devised by a Dr Whelan in order to rebut Dr Shettles technique. With her technique Dr Whelan feels that for a couple to increase their chances of conceiving a boy they need to have intercourse during the very early part of a woman’s monthly cycle. Research carried out in to this technique has found that 68% of the time couples using this one were able to conceive the boy that they wanted.

There are many various opinions and techniques that people will suggest to couples about when is the best time to conceive a boy. Certainly it is these couples which have tried them and found them to provide them with the results that they wanted. Some couples make changes to their diet and incorporate more salty snacks and red meat into it. Whilst other couples who are trying to have a baby boy will get the men to drink coffee prior to them making love.

What You Need To Consider To Conceive A Boy

Are you looking to conceive a boy so that you have someone to teach football or baseball to? Or do you want to conceive a boy for the sake of your husband then the suggestions that we offer below may well come in useful to you and should be kept in mind.

All men have in their bodies the sex cells known as the X and Y chromosomes. In order for you to be able to conceive a boy it is the Y chromosome that you need to fertilize the egg. Which does sound simple? But there are certain factors that need to be taken into consideration and which can affect the outcome.

Y chromosomes are fast swimmers and so because of these they may well reach the egg first before the X chromosomes can. But as the acidic PH in a woman’s vagina is quite high you need to consider that these sperm are unable to survive very long in it.

Many couples trying to make a bay will arrange to have sex over a number of days in the hope that on one of these days they can create the little boy that both their hearts die. I guess there is nothing wrong with using this method as long as the couples are not too bothered about what their baby is going to be. Also what they need to understand is the sperm is going to released several days before the woman ovulates and so those are carrying the Y chromosome will be weak and will probably die before the egg has even been released.

So to conceive a boy then the couple needs to make sure that the man’s sperm enters the woman’s vagina as she ovulates. There are ovulation prediction kits one can purchase to help with this. The ones that tend to be most accurate are those kits which test your saliva and you need to remember that if you are off by just one or two days this can result in your having a girl rather than a boy.

Before conceiving, it is vital that you should also know the Ph of your vagina. If you happen to have an acidic vagina, as this is not conducive to male sperm. In order to conceive a little boy, the woman?s vaginal tract needs to contain more alkaline. You can change the acidity of your vagina by douching and/or through eating and avoiding certain foods. These douches can be easily made at home so you will be able to save yourself a lot of money.

Another thing that needs to be considered is the position in which you have intercourse. In order to conceive a little boy then the position that they place themselves in should be one that puts the sperm as close as possible to the woman’s cervix. Often this results in much deeper penetration for many couples and if at all possible the woman should try not to have an orgasm as this will help the couple further to try and have the son they both want. But even after you have had your baby it doesn’t really matter what you have as long as they are healthy and have the requisite number of fingers and toes!
