Pregnancy is a wonderful experience, from the day of conception until the day of your baby’s birth you will find yourself looking at the world with different eyes. Some couples opt for the surprise to only find out what the baby’s gender is at birth while others prefer preconception gender selection. The choice is all up to you of course- as long as you make it a beautiful and lasting memory.
It is very important to keep in mind that the male partner determines the child’s gender. This is attributed to the fact that sperm are both Y and X chromosome bearing while on the other hand the egg is only X chromosome bearing in other words females already have female baby chromosomes that only need a match with another X to produce a baby girl while the joining of the female’s X chromosome with a male Y will produce a baby boy.
Old wives tales on gender selection have been around since the beginning of time, making the myths as old as the pregnancy event itself. The myths vary from making love in doggy style or standing position to having the female reach climax before male should you have a little boy in mind or having sex in missionary style during late afternoons to having the male reach climax before the female should you have a little girl in mind.
The pH level in your vagina and preconception gender selection are direct linked. The higher the acidity in your vagina the greater the chance of having a girl, the more alkaline or even neutral your vaginal pH the better the chances of conceiving a boy.
Natural treatments and methods are always highly recommended and should be couples’ first choice. Some natural method examples are charting and calculation of precise ovulation times or alterations to usual positions during sex. Dietary changes impacting alkalinity levels in the vagina should also be considered.
Classified as an alternative preconception gender selection method, the Ericsson method entails the separation of X and Y chromosome sperm under controlled circumstances. This clinical method is very expensive to undertake but the success rate is higher than with most natural methods.
Before you make your mind up on a specific treatment or method of preconception gender selection you should consult with your health care provider first, due to the fact that some treatments have potentially serious and harmful side effects. Your doctor will not only know what treatment will suit you best, but also have the inside track on the latest treatments or methods available.
