I often write about ways that you can naturally influence your baby's gender. I'm very commonly asked "what really determines the gender of my baby?" or "is it the mother or the father that determines the baby's sex?" In truth, your baby's gender is influenced by a combination of a few things, (that come from both the male and the female). These things will ultimately determine whether you have a girl or a boy baby. I'll break all of these things down in this article and will explain how you can use and manipulate these things to your advantage to conceive the gender that you want.
The Biggest Variable In Determining A Baby's Gender: If I had to pinpoint the most important or persuasive thing that determined a baby's gender or sex, it would be whether the father -to - be's X (girl producing) or Y (boy producing) sperm reached and fertilized the mother - to - be's waiting egg first.
Baby
In short, a man's sperm contains X and Y chromosomes within it. This naturally happens without your having to do anything. If the Y (which is by far the fastest of the two) wins, then a boy baby will be the result. If the slow but very strong X sperm emerges victorious, then paint the nursery pink.
This sounds easy and simple. In truth, there are often many variables that can influence the end result. The Y or boy sperm are very fast so at first glance they would seem to have an advantage, but nature has balanced things out by making the boy sperm speedy and weak and by making the girl sperm strong and slow. Knowing this, there are several things that a couple can control and manipulate to ensure that they give the sperm chromosome containing the gender that they want the best advantage.
How To The Female Or Mother-To-Be Influences A Baby's Gender: So, I've discussed how the man's chromosomes influence a baby's sex and gender. Now, I will discuss how the female also plays an important roll. We know that the boy sperm are very weak. They begin to weaken and die off very quickly after release. They can not withstand a hostile environment for any real length of time. The opposite is true for girl sperm, who are rarely shaken by even the most harsh of environments. When I say environment, I am talking about a woman's vaginal or reproductive tract. And, I'm looking at this environment in terms of being acidic or alkaline.
Each woman will fall in either category. Some women are naturally acidic and some are naturally alkaline. A mother - to - be who is acidic is more likely to have a girl baby, as the boy sperm will die off much faster when faced with a high PH. Likewise, if you're naturally alkaline, your body is more friendly to boy sperm and you are therefore more likely to produce a boy. You can find out which category you are in by testing your PH with little strips you can get at a health food store. Once you know your reading, you can then make adjustments to bring your PH up or down depending on which gender you want.
The adjustments that I mean are a high or low PH diet and / or douching with solutions meant to get your reading to where it needs to be to conceive the baby you want. Before you discount this as too hard, understand that this is not really too difficult if you approach it with a bit of discipline. Yes, it's a diet and diets are rarely fun, but you aren't limiting your calories. You're just eating and eliminating foods that would raise (if you want a boy) or lower (if you want a girl) the PH that you already have. And, you only have to do this until you get to where you need to be.
In terms of douching, I know some see this as an old fashioned method, but it works and it works quickly. If you are using the testing strips, you'll see that douching with the right ingredients are the fastest way to get the most dramatic results. And, there are douche recipes and food / diet instructions that can eliminate a lot of the hard work and / or guessing.
How Timing And Sexual Positions Also Play A Role In Your Baby's Sex Or Gender: Natural gender selection is all about giving a longer, harder trip to the gender chromosome that you don't. Along those same lines, when and how conceive also plays a role. Conceiving early in your fertility cycle favors a female baby because Y sperm won't live long enough in this scenario. Likewise, conceiving late in the cycle would favor a boy.
In much the same way, using deep penetration sexual positions favor a male baby because it gives the Y sperm a shorter, easier trip, while using shallow penetration favors a girl.
For best results (over 90%) you really have to take the multi pronged approach and use all of these variables together. If you alter your sexual positions, but neglect timing and PH, then you're likely allowing some of the chromosomes you don't want to slip through.
What Determines the Gender of a Baby?
I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender. You'll find step by step instructions, resources, douche recipes and food lists, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / PH testing strips.
