If you've been researching the best ways to conceive a baby boy or son, then I suspect that you already know that there are natural, low cost, yet very effective things that you can do at home to greatly increase your odds of success. This article will explain these methods, tell you how to do them at home, and will also explain why they work.
Understanding That The Sperm That Will Produce A Boy Are Fast Yet Weak: The sperm chromosomes that will produce a girl baby and a boy baby are very different from one another. The chromosomes that would get you a boy are very fast moving, but are also weak, only able to live for a day or two in the harsh vaginal environment. If you are trying to conceive a boy, you'll need to take advantage of this speed while taking specific steps to diminish this weakness. I'll tell you how to do this below.
You Should Conceive A Boy On The Day Of Or After ACTUAL Ovulation: Since the boy sperm do not live for long, attempts to conceive days before your egg is ready to be fertilized will often be unsuccessful. That's because conceiving well before ovulation will allow the boy sperm to die off before the egg is ready. So, you should only conceive on the day of or the day following the egg being released.
This sounds straight forward and easy since unlike couples who are trying to conceive a girl, you only need to take action after the time is right. You don't need to preplan. However, many couples still miss this window. Why? Because people are often wrong about when they've actually ovulated. Many methods for predicting ovulation (taking your temperature or reading your cervical mucus) leave too much room for failure or misinterpretation. And, many people will just guesstimate or assume when they ovulate. Many will just go with the day half way through their cycle (often day 14.) This is often not the case (I ovulate on day 20 and am as regular as a clock.)
So, how do you really know exactly when you ovulate? Use an ovulation predictor. Of these, I much prefer saliva kits over urine ones. The saliva predictors are cheap, easy to use, can be reused daily to show even small changes to tip you off to get ready to conceive.
The Best Sexual / Intercourse Positions To Conceive A Boy: Most people know that to give the weak, short lived boy sperm the closest trip to the egg, you should use deep penetration which places the sperm as close to your cervix and egg as possible. Most people assume this is male dominant or rear entry position and these can be right. However, every couple is different and which position works best is going to depend on your and your partners height and weight as well as other factors. Sometimes, the spooning or female dominant positions work better. You'll need to experiment before you actually try to conceive to see what works best for you.
Getting A Low Enough PH / Alkaline Acidity To Make Getting A Boy Much More Likely: Of all of the best ways to conceive a boy, here is where most couples go wrong because they think changing or lowing the mom to be's PH / acidity is just too hard or is really hit or miss. In truth, it's not at all hard with the right tools and it is probably the most important piece of the puzzle, especially if you are naturally acidic or if girls run in your family.
Since we know that boy sperm can not survive a highly acidic environment, it's vital that you lower yours if need be. You can find out where you fall by using PH vaginal testing strips that you can get at a health food store or online. Then, if you need to lower, you will know how much and can act accordingly.
There are a few ways to become less acidic. The first is by douching with very specific solutions depending on your reading. The other is by going on a specific neutralizing diet in which you will avoid high acid foods and consume alkaline foods.
Using both of these methods combined is the fastest and most effective way to get where you need to be to conceive a son. However, if you are opposed to douching, you can achieve this using only the diet, but you'll have to be very vigilant.
As you douche and partake in the diet, you can then monitor your progress (using the strips) so you will know when you are low enough to be successful in conceiving a baby boy.
Conceive A Boy is a website I set up to make the process of having a son a bit easier. I've included tips, hints, and resources (the douche recipes, food lists, saliva ovulation predictors and PH testing strips discussed in this article) to help couples who wish to conceive a son using natural and inexpensive methods.
We all know how much it hurts to want something that bad, and yet know that you might not ever get what you want. If you are desperately trying to conceive a boy, then every time you see a mother with her little son walking down the street, you could sob. Every time you see a blue teddy, or even a pack of boys nappies on the supermarket shelf, your heart aches just a little more.
If you're trying to conceive a boy, your mind maybe full of thoughts about trains, action men, and mud pies. After all that's what little boys like the most!. But how can you get to the stage where your cupboards are full of toy soldiers and lego? If only the process were easy... blue pill for a boy, pink pill for a girl, unfortunately we all know that life isn't like that! (well not yet anyhow!)
You would be forgiven for thinking that choosing the gender of your next baby, and trying to conceive a boy would have to be done by medical means. It was only a couple of years ago that I discovered there is in fact alternative methods of choosing the sex of your baby.
Trying to conceive a boy - Medical versus Natural
Microsort, the Ericsson method, sperm spinning, may just be a way to make some medical professionals richer than they already are, and leave a hole in your bank balance. Are these methods going to guarantee you a baby with the gender of your choice? - Absolutely not (they won't even guarantee that you will end up pregnant)
In some countries is medical gender selection ethical, or is it even legal - No!
But what about 'natural gender selection'? How can anyone stop you, or even judge you for making slight alterations to your lifestyle, diet and timing of intercourse, when you're trying to conceive a boy or a girl?... Surely they can't. All that you are going to do is arm yourself with the knowledge that you need to complete the task! It's rather like learning a recipe for baking a cake!
Natural gender selection ties in the 3 main elements above, and prepares your body for selecting a certain gender during conception. Certain factors in your body make this possible. PH levels, knowing when you ovulate, and knowing the best positions and times for intercourse will all help the natural gender selection process along.
So for those people that are trying to conceive a boy, or a girl for that matter, wouldn't it be handy if you didn't have to pay out thousands of dollars, wouldn't it be even better if you didn't have to go through invasive medical procedures! And wouldn't it be wonderful if you knew that the natural methods give you just as much chance, if not a better chance of baby sex selection than the high end medical methods.

If you would like to have a beautiful baby boy then you can choose to undergo costly medical procedures to realize your dreams. Yet there is still no guarantee after spending thousands on treatment to conceive a boy you won't be guaranteed that your dreams are reached.
However, there are certain gender selection techniques that one can use and which can improve your chances of having the baby boy you always desired. In this article we take a look at just one of these.
The Shettles Technique
This is one technique that many couples who have been wanting a baby boy have found to prove very effective in allowing them to realizing their dreams. With this technique you learn about how important it is to allow more of the male sperm (those with the Y chromosome) swim a lot quite and die a lot sooner than the female sperm (those with the X chromosome) do. So you will need to ensure that a greater number of the female sperm die off before reaching the eggs released from the ovaries.
With this technique it recommends that the couple make love no more than 24 hours prior to ovulation taking place or 12 hours following it. This will then ensure that the faster swimming male sperm can reach the eggs first. Also it is not only important to make love at the right time but also the couple should aim to make love as many times as possible during that time.
Also with this particular technique when making love the couple must ensure that the man's penis penetrates as deeply into the woman as possible. Again this will then ensure that a larger number of the sperm carrying the male gene (Y chromosome) can reach the eggs released before the female one's do.

Childbirth is always a miracle and a gift, regardless of the gender of the baby. However, there is nothing wrong with wanting to have a boy rather than a girl. Some expecting parents may feel guilty that they have a preference, but this is actually a very common feeling. While there are some methods that are believed to help conceive a boy, other than artificial insemination, there is really no way to ensure a male child.
For parents trying to conceive a boy, odds are actually in your favor; statistics show that fifty-one boys are born to every forty-nine girls. While there is not much you can do to make sure you conceive a male, there are some techniques that aim at how to conceive a boy as well as some urban legends. Although this will not guarantee results, they do not hurt to try.
Methods like the Shettles Method work on the principle that Y chromosomes move faster than X chromosomes and so, the way to conceive a boy is to make sure the Y chromosome reaches the egg first. It is recommended to have intercourse no more than 24 hours prior to ovulation and no later than 12 hours. Deep penetration during intercourse is also recommended because it deposits the chromosomes closer to the cervix and the more aggressive Y chromosomes have a greater chance of fertilizing the egg.
Many methods that teach how to conceive a boy are based on timing. Methods such as the Whelan method suggests having intercourse early in the woman's monthly cycle. Other methods such as the Chinese Conception chart match a woman's age with the month of when the child is conceived for this chart to work, you must use the mother's lunar age as well as the lunar month. Calendars are available to determine more accurate results.
There have also been many urban myths that explain how to conceive a boy and many women will swear by these tips. Some women believe if you want to have a son, have your partner drink coffee before intercourse; this is said to speed up the movement of the Y chromosome and help it reach the egg faster. Other myths instruct women to change their diets before conceiving a child because there is a belief that certain foods will increase the chance of a boy. Changing your diet to include red meats, salty foods and sodas may help conceive a boy. However, if you are looking to change your diet, make sure it is something your body can handle.
Having a child is a beautiful thing, no matter what the outcome of the gender. Remember that these tips on how to conceive a boy are not going to 100% guarantee a baby boy. But they can drastically improve your chances. Remember, there is nothing wrong with having a preference and these tips will not hurt to try in order to conceive a son

If you are wanting to increase your family and perhaps already have a daughter or daughters, you may be wondering how to guarantee a baby boy in order to balance out your family.
Apart from using expensive and sometimes controversial gender selection clinics, the truth is that you cannot guarantee 100% that you can conceive a baby of the sex of your choice. However, there are a number of simple, natural techniques you can apply which will take the odds up from 50-50 to nearer to 95%.
One of the methods you can use is based around using the characteristics of sperm to your advantage. For those wanting to know how to guarantee a baby boy, it is important to appreciate the differences between male and female sperm. Male sperm is faster and smaller than its female counterparts. However, it is weaker does not live as long as female sperm. It thrives better within a mildly alkaline environment.
Using this knowledge, having intercourse as near to the time of ovulation as possible means that the male sperm can "win the race" to reach the ovum first. It is best to abstain from intercourse for at least 2 days before ovulation otherwise the longer-lasting female sperm will be ready and waiting for the ovum as it is released. It is a good idea to test the pH level of the vagina by using paper testing strips and if it is acidic, a mild douche using weak baking soda can make it more alkaline.
There are a number of other techniques which can be put into practice, such as altering the diet and the actual position of intercourse which will all help to influence the gender of your baby. So although you may never find ways which are 100% accurate, most couples are delighted with odds of over 90%
If you would like to see tried-and-tested methods which will help you conceive a baby of the gender of your choice, there is an excellent guide which is based on scientific rather than anecdotal principles. It includes dietary information and the exact gender clinic douche recipe which normally retails at $450. In addition, you can also subscribe to a completely free newsletter which gives hints and tips on natural gender selection.
Boasting an astonishing success rate, this guide will show you how to guarantee a baby boy with up to 95% accuracy.

The truth is that there is only one way to absolutely guarantee having a boy, and that is by having IVF which includes pre-implantation gender selection. Even then, there is no way that a pregnancy can be guaranteed following the process, as a relatively small number of IVF procedures lead to a healthy birth.
However, there are a number of simple steps you can take which will tip the balance in favor of conceiving a boy.
Firstly, male sperm has different characteristics to female sperm and harnessing these qualities is one way which can help. Male sperm is smaller and faster than female sperm, but does not live for as long as female sperm. Using this information to our advantage will not guarantee having a boy, but certainly will improve the odds. So what can you do? Once you know when ovulation is happening (and the safest way to check this is to use an ovulation predictor kit) you should aim to have intercourse on the day of ovulation itself and the following day. Having intercourse on the days before ovulation will maximize the chances of conceiving a girl, as the longer lasting female sperm will still be hanging around, waiting for the egg to be released whilst the short-lived male sperm will have died off.
Although you cannot guarantee having a boy, taking advantage of the pH levels of the vagina can also help. Male sperm prefers alkaline conditions and the pH level near the cervix is naturally alkaline. Therefore, having intercourse using methods which involve deeper penetration, so the sperm is deposited near to the cervix is a good idea. Also, the vagina is known to become alkaline following the female orgasm, so if the woman has an orgasm before ejaculation, this can also sway the odds. Some couples decide to use weak alkaline douches before intercourse and this is very much a matter for the individual to consider as douching can sometimes cause bacterial vaginosis.
For further information on how to guarantee having a boy, then please visit my website Pick Your Baby's Gender. Here you will find details of a system based on scientific principles which can help you have your son.
Rather than being one of the many couples who leave matters to chance, take control and be proactive.You can easily learn how to fall pregnant with a boy and not be left with that "what if" feeling for ever.
